That women not being recognized as equals is a matter of deep concern. What is also disturbing is the fact that it is not only in the capital city where women are accorded scant respect, but that it is widespread across the country in varying degrees. Our city Pune, once known for social reformers, freedom fighters and people with bold ideas who engaged women in performing religious rituals, has witnessed many incidents of rape and harm to women. As a vibrant city that is home to thousands of students from across the country and the world and thousands of professionals in the IT/ITES industry of whom over 40% are women, it is critical that we make our women safe and secure and enable them to lead their lives with dignity they so richly deserve.

...Printing is a process for reproducing text and images, typically with ink on paper using a printing press. It is often carried out as a large scale industrial process, and is an essential part of publishing and transaction printing. Indian print media is one of the largest print media in the world. The history of it started in 1780, with the publication of the Bengal of Gazette from Calcutta. James Augustus Hickey is considered as the “father of Indian press” as he started the first Indian newspaper from Calcutta, the Calcutta General Advertise or the Bengal Gazette in January, 1780. In 1789, the first newspaper from Bombay, the Bombay Herald appeared, followed by the Bombay Courier next year (this newspaper was later amalgamated with The Times of India in 1861). The first newspaper in an Indian language was the Samachar Darpan in Bengali. The first issue of the daily was published from the Serampore Mission Press on May 23, 1818. In the same year, Ganga Kishore Battacharya started publishing another newspaper in Bengali, the Bengal Gazzeti. On July 1, 1822 the first Gujarati newspaper the Bombay Samachar was published from Bombay, which is still extant.

Ads by Google Despite the weakness of the US economy, high level of debt and downgrade of its long-term debt, the US dollar and the US Treasury securities continue to be in demand. How can a weak currency support a strong currency. Here's why: Greek Crisis The debt crisis in the euro zone, fears of default by Greece and breakup of the euro zone has been weighing down the euro. Volatile Market In uncertain times, investors prefer to cash over risky financial assets such as stocks. Global sell-off in stocks has increased demand for dollar and led to its appreciation. Operation Twist Fed's recent action of injecting liquidity by replacing long term bonds with short-term bonds instead of printing more money has prevented an increase in supply of dollar. Safe Haven The US dollar is still considered a safe haven despite all the troubles with the US and the central banks across the world continue to buy US Treasury securities.

...Rupee: A Testing Time for India Authorities The currency of a country often reflects its economic, political, geopolitical strength of the country. The currency swings often capture the capital movement and investor appetite in a comprehensive way. With dollar remaining as the major foreign currency for foreign trade and foreign reserve, the developing countries have limited options to control their respective currency. This same was experienced by many developing Asian countries in the recent financial rout. Determination of Exchange Rate and its Fluctuations Like other prices, exchange rate also changes with the changes in the state of market. Just as other prices depend on supply and demand, exchange rate also depends on the configuration of forces of supply and demand. However, two important facets have to be noted: (i) Unlike goods and services, foreign exchange has no direct cost of production. It has only opportunity cost (Walras.1874). Import bills have to be paid through export earnings. So cost of production of exportable surpluses may be taken to constitute the direct production cost of exports and indirect cost of imports (Aggarwal, R. (1981)). Opportunity cost is accounted by with drawl of exportable surplus from domestic consumption. Fluctuations are a natural characteristic of foreign exchange rate market, provided that the exchange rate is not an administered price. If exchange rate is an administered price, it is determined administratively by the central...

Where these countries are now, what they have become and their relationships with each other have very much been forged by the events of 1947 with Independence from Britain and the subsequent partition of India. When assessing the extent to which partition was inevitable, it can be difficult as the action itself justifies the inevitability, “Partition happened therefore it was inevitable Khaswant Singh **historian**. This tends to suggest that all history is a predetermined narrative that cannot be changed and altered. This would very much be consistent with Indian philosophy that ‘it has happened because it was written’ this suggests the inevitability of partition is considered to be seen inevitable even before looking at the contributing factors. However from a Western and particularly British perspective, 1947 heralded not only the beginning of the end of the British Empire; but as Lawrence describes, “The end of period of history which from 1492 had seen the domination of the globe by...

...Introduction UK’s invasion of India had different kind of strategy than we saw in history books. It was not with guns or army but it was with power of wealth. The East India Company was founded by British merchants and traders to trade with India. The mostly traded goods were items like spices, tea and cloth at first. In addition to goods like that mentioned above, English traders mostly traded raw materials. These materials were then become finished goods in England then traded back to India with expensive prices. According to some history researchers, the government of England did not take control of India; it was the East India Company that took over India. England became masters of trade in the India region while using worldwide connections of their own to make themselves very rich. While making themselves very rich, they thought of getting a security for their company. Best idea would be using their wealth and power to have their own personal militias. British people were volunteered to be militias at first but later on, company hired local Indian people who worked for the British. The reason behind these locals working for British is that; they would get paid better and better opportunities than what they could get from locals. This applied for over hundred years. Obviously the British realized it was more profitable to run some parts of the country and government got more involved and decided to take over. British kept getting bigger in India, after a while, they started...
