Study of Marxian theory with reference to developing societies

"Ottoman-Southeast Asian Relations: Sources from the Ottoman Archives, is a product of meticulous study of İsmail Hakkı Kadı, A.C.S. Peacock and other contributors on historical documents from the Ottoman archives. The work contains documents in Ottoman-Turkish, Malay, Arabic, French, English, Tausung, Burmese and Thai languages, each introduced by an expert in the language and history of the related country. The work contains documents hitherto unknown to historians as well as others that have been unearthed before but remained confined to the use of limited scholars who had access to the Ottoman archives. The resources published in this study show that the Ottoman Empire was an active actor within the context of Southeast Asian experience with Western colonialism. The fact that the extensive literature on this experience made limited use of Ottoman source materials indicates the crucial importance of this publication for future innovative research in the field. Contributors are: Giancarlo Casale, Annabel Teh Gallop, Rıfat Günalan, Patricia Herbert, Jana Igunma, Midori Kawashima, Abraham Sakili and Michael Talbot"--

Not Available ; Credit is considered as one of the most important and basic input in agricultural production process. The prime source of agricultural credit in India has drastically shifted from non-institutional (money lenders) to institutional source in the last five decades due to various policy initiatives of Government of India. Grass root level analysis of the dynamic helps in further policy framework. Hence in this study based on district wise average outstanding agricultural credit by scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) for the TE ending 2017-18, three districts from each state indicating high, medium and low exposure categories is selected using clustering technique. For these study districts outstanding agricultural credit by SCBs was extracted (1976-2017) and analysed. From the Bai-Perron test years viz., 1983, 1990, 1997, 2004 and 2011 are identified to be most common structural breaks in the time series data of each district owing to various policy reforms in the field of agricultural finance. Based on these breaks the time series further subdivided into six phases viz., phase-I (1976-1982), phase-II (1983-1989), phase-III (1990-1996), phase-IV (1997-2003), phase-V (2004-2010) and phase-VI (2011-2017). Phase-wise CAGR was calculated for all the districts and Garrett ranking technique is employed for further ranking of phases across six regions of the country. Phase-I is identified as the phase with high rate of growth in agricultural advances in selected districts across all regions except southern where it is ranked second. The policy initiatives of that period i.e. setting of priority sector lending targets and establishment of Regional Rural Banks have played crucial role in this growth phenomenon of agricultural advances. Further recent policies like doubling agricultural package and ground level credit policies have also played crucial role in the growth of agricultural advances at grass root level in all regions except eastern and north-eastern regions. Whereas in the eastern and north-eastern ...

One of the first ethnographic studies to explore use of social media in the everyday lives of people in Tamil Nadu, Social Media in South India provides an understanding of this subject in a region experiencing rapid transformation. The influx of IT companies over the past decade into what was once a space dominated by agriculture has resulted in a complex juxtaposition between an evolving knowledge economy and the traditions of rural life. While certain class tensions have emerged in response to this juxtaposition, a study of social media in the region suggests that similarities have also transpired, observed most clearly in the blurring of boundaries between work and life for both the old residents and the new.

Venkatraman explores the impact of social media at home, work and school, and analyses the influence of class, caste, age and gender on how, and which, social media platforms are used in different contexts. These factors, he argues, have a significant effect on social media use, suggesting that social media in South India, while seeming to induce societal change, actually remains bound by local traditions and practices. - दक्षिण भारत पर सामाजिक मीडिया, जो तमिलनाडु में लोगों के दैनिक जीवन में सामाजिक मीडिया के उपयोग पर अन्वेषण करनेवाले पहले के नृवंशवैज्ञानिक अध्ययनों पर एक है, तेज़ी परिवर्तन का अनुभव करनेवाले एक क्षेत्र में इस विषय का ज्ञान प्रदान करता है. जो एक समय कृषि से हावी किया गया था, उस क्षेत्र पर पिछले दशक में आईटी कंपनियों का प्रवेश, एक उद्विकासी ज्ञान अर्थव्यवस्था और ग्रामीण जीवन की परिपाटी के बीच एक जटिल मुकाबला का कारण बन गया है. जबकि इस मुकाबले के उत्तरक्रिया के रूप में कुछ वर्गीय तनाव प्रकट हुए हैं, इस क्षेत्र के सामाजिक मीडिया पर अध्ययन इसका प्रस्ताव करता है कि समरूपता का भी पता चलता है, जो पुराने और नए निवासियों के काम और जीवन की सीमाओं के धुंधुला होने से अधिक स्पष्ट रूप से अवलोकन किया जाता है.
