Liability Structure of Indian Commercial Banks

The Indian banking industry has undergone a paradigm shift after the commencement of liberalization in 1991. The impact of deregulation, technological improvements, and accessibility of banks to capital market for raising funds led to a revolutionary transition in corporate financing policies. Such changing circumstances have created a need for investigating the capital structure of Indian commercial banks.

This book focuses on the liability structure of Indian commercial banks and presents the empirical work undertaken by the author during her doctoral study. The book is a blend of comprehensive coverage and detailed analysis, which would help students and researchers acquire factual and analytical knowledge on the key factors influencing liability structure across banks.

This book is intended for students pursuing postgraduate studies in management, banking and finance, economics and commerce. The book would also be useful to the researchers, academicians and banking professionals, who are inclined towards having a better understanding of the variations in the influence of various factors across the different liability categories of banks.

Love Ever Gives

This is my poetic debut breaking away from a continuum of writing research-based books, articles and `papers in response to my career-oriented imperatives and aspirations.

Now that I am detached from a teaching institution like a college or university where I spent 35-odd years in my capacity as a teacher and a researcher in a social science, I am now free to delve deep in my areas of literary interests which were integral to my nature from my early student days but under certain compulsions I couldn’t pursue it. Now I seem to have come full circle.

This book of poetry may inaugurate the launch of a new literary drive to be followed by other literary genres including fictions and novels in pursuit of my long-bridled literary passion.

The present book of poetry is comprised of a total of twenty-five poems of different tastes and lengths  some contained in a single page while others expand over pages up to seven to eight.

The included poems have been dichoto-mized into two segments  Romantic and Realistic.

Romantic poems are love-centric conceived and composed in the prime of my life while the Realistic poems are reality-centric composed in the later part of my life engrossed in combating the harsh realities.

Love, admittedly, informs and inspires all the poems whether in the first part or in the second but the nature of love in the first part is different from that of the second. Love in the first part may be characterized as quixotic.

The term ‘love’ is generic. It is the core of all creative actions. One can’t do anything positive without love for it. One must love a thing to do it admirably. This love has propelled me to conceive and compose this book of poetry. Hence the title Love Ever Gives.

Indian Influence on the Art of Japan by Sampa Biwas

Indian Influence on The Art of Japan (AD 538-1333) provides a comprehensive study of how Buddhist Philosophy and religious concepts completely changed the socio-religious environment and consequently the artistic creations of Japan. The remarkable ability of the people of Japan to comprehend the essence of Buddhism was the key element which helped in transforming the existing Japanese society into a much higher and elevated level of culture. This book makes a meticulous study of the truimphant march of Buddhism and the power of the Japanese people to assimilate the foreign culture, effected through the study of the translations of Buddhist Sutras and also in transforming the art scene which was essentially derived from the cultural heritage of India, as well as that of the Orient.

Temporally, the scope of the book is expansive, the period covered is from the fifth millennium bc to mid-fourteenth century AD.

• The book traces the development of the formative arts, through Archaic (pre-historic and proto-historic) Age, – sometime around the fifth millennium BC, which continued until the introduction of Buddhism in the sixth century AD.
• It studies Japan’s ancient beliefs, that is, Shinto, and the impact of Buddhism on Shinto ; the creation of Ryobu Shinto and the emergence of Shinto art.
• It concentrates on the arts of the Early Historic Age or an era of Buddhist culture, which is subdivided into the Asuka Period (late seventh  century-early eighth century AD), and Tempyo Period (eighth century AD)
• The final chapters are devoted to the study of the arts of the Early Heian Period (AD 794-897) when Buddhist sculpture and painting were dominated by the metaphysical cults of esoteric Buddhism; the Late Heian Period (AD 897-1185) when under the refined culture of the aristocratic class there was considerable artistic experimentation giving rise to the Yamato-e, a native Japanese style of painting; and the rise of a new distinctive popular cult, the Jodo cult or faith in Amitabha Buddha, which inspired a new type of religious painting
• A study of the arts of the Kamakura Period (AD 1185-1333) when the spirit of the new age was reflected in the works of the great masters in Buddhist sculpture and the rapid growth of picture scrolls or e-makimono, especially religious scrolls inspired by Buddhist sects.

This book would be of great interest to students and research scholars, and also serve as an important reference work for teachers of Japanese art and culture.

Dr Ambedkar’s Approach to Buddhism by B.L. Mungekar

This book, probably for the first time, considers how Dr Ambedkar’s historic conversion to Buddhism in 1956, in Nagpur, with lacs of his followers, was a step towards carrying out a socio-cultural and democratic revolution in India.
Dr. Ambedkar held that a religious or cultural revolution always precedes a political revolution. According to the author, India’s resolution to establish a new social order based on the principles of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity and Justice as enshrined in her constitution, is a peaceful democratic revolution.
Viewed in this context, the author argues that, by bringing back Buddhism to its place of origin.
Dr. Ambedkar sought to provide the cultural foundation to India’s post-Independence socio political revolution.
