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.
