All the libraries in schools and colleges, public libraries , research institutions, scholars, offices and homes will find this work an indispensable reference tool on their shelves.

“Though focusing generally on India, the coverage of the Indian Encyclopaedia is wide indeed ranging from Russian Caucuses and Central Asia to Arabia, Persia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, China and of course Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka.

“It is indeed an extraordinary work. In it are listed 46,000 articles, all power-packed with knowledge. A fantastically large number of facts are integrated and systematically filed within it. This vast and magnificent encyclopaedia offers a panoramic view of India, the subcontinent, and Asia, the continent: its land, its people and their culture, its industry and commerce, its sciences and arts; its rocks and minerals, its plants, vegetables and trees, its birds, insects and animals. As the contents of the encyclopaedia will testify, it covers everything that is of interest, of import, of significance, of beauty, and of value including articles on almost all subject areas in arts, humanities and social sciences, and pure and applied sciences.

“This is an encyclopaedia for everyone. Historians, manufacturers, technologists, researchers in the fields of science and social sciences, students and teachers will find in it information which will greatly help them in their research work and higher pursuits of knowledge.

Organised alphabetically, the work guides the user quickly to the required information, and related knowledge through an extensive system of cross-references.

“The whole work runs in more than eight thousand pages, printed in double-column, and designed as a great source of time and energy saver in putting finger on a particular piece of information which was scattered in fragments in countless books or journals, documents, archival material, and otherwise unapproachable sources has been compressed in these pages in an accurate, compact and helpful manner.” (jacket)

“Encyclopaedia of Indian Tribes and Castes is the result of the need felt by the scholars, researchers, teachers, and administrators for a reference work on Indian ethnology which can rise above the usual complexity and confusion in finding reliable and trustworth information in this vast and highly important area. The vast and detailed information contained in the pages of this pioneering work makes it an ideal and invaluable reference tool for the confirmation of sociological, anthropological, ethnological, historical, and cultural facts about the tribes and castes spread all over the Indian subcontinent.

“Careful research and compilation of an enormous amount of data has produced a collection of about 11,000 tribes and castes, organized by an alphabetical order, in a convenient and otherwise unavailable format. The entries, varying in length and scope of coverage, do not omit any tribal identity howsoever obscure or difficult in finding information on. The result, therefore, provides extraordinary opportunities to the readers for socio-anthropological or administrative research or for the purpose of reference.

“The present work that attempts to put together a large number of identities symbolized by names. Its value lies in its identification of this large number of identities, providing a raw material that can be used in various ways as all such material can be. The biggest and most valuable contribution of this encyclopaedia is in the painstaking process of documentation in which all the references and sources have been clearly indicated. This would greatly help both the scholar and the administrator to trace the source, time and place in which a particular identity has been created.

“A careful comparative scrutiny would help in clearing up many administrative doubts and scholarly inquisitiveness as to identities and their reproduction as well as suppression. The reader might find many names here that are not found in official documents and many that do not exist in any official discourse. Many may be listed as tribes in one place and caste in another.

“The marathon effort that has gone into creating this work is towards building up a comprehensive and reliable data base that would be useful in many different ways. To the critical scholar it would provide raw material that can be reanalyzed and reinterpreted, to the researcher it may provide a clue to identifying a potential “field” of study and to the administrators it would provide a wealth of base line information. It is our hope that the volumes would also be beneficial to the people so identified and named here as “tribes”.

“Grouping information systematically, ‘guided by the historical sense’ and with a clear view of the information needs of the reader, the Encyclopaedia of Indian Tribes and Castes is intended, above all, to be ‘a methodical compendium of social knowledge’” (jacket)

“Buddhism, a world religion dating back over 2000 years, once dominated great tracts of Asia and still commands the loyalty of millions. Thanks to the lavish and devoted patronage, it came to possess a wealth of temples and monasteries, and art traditions as varied, as they can be sublime. Its concern with universal salvation also ensured a long development of doctrines and philosophy, creating a vast literature in many languages. The more one investigates the history, civilisation and the culture of Buddhism, more one is struck by the colossal and enduring character of Buddhist traditions. The social, religious and cultural development of Buddhism has accumulated a wealth of spiritual and literary material.

‘The enormous volume of literature on the heritage and culture of the Buddhists has not only created a demand for general work of reference, but has also made known the necessity for a Buddhist Encyclopaedia of a more special character. To bind the wealth of material between the covers of a book has indeed been a daunting task. It is against this back ground of challenge that this Encyclopaedia of Buddhism has been prepared, because it is not possible otherwise to have at our command the vast resources of learning and teachings that have accumulated over centuries. The present work is an attempt to meet the universally growing demand for a comprehensive Buddhist Encyclopaedia.

“This is a far-reaching claim to make, but a mere glance at the contents will reveal its scope and the names of those whose writings have been included in the Encyclopaedia will establish its authenticity. The Encyclopaedia contains articles on all significant topics related to Buddhism and its manifested schools and thoughts. It also aims, further, at containing articles on Buddhists beliefs or customs, and on every ethical movement, every philosophical idea, and every moral practice. All the persons and places as are famous in the history of Buddhist religion have been included. The Encyclopaedia therefore embraces the whole range of theology and philosophy; together will the relevant portions of Anthropology, Mythology, Folklore, Psychology, Education, Economics, Sciences and Sociology.

“In order to avoid over-lapping, and yet to have every topics treated with sufficient fullness, the method has occasionally been adopted of describing a subject comprehensively in one general article, and then taking one or more particular topics embraced by the general article and dealing with them separately and more fully. The entries are placed in an alphabetical order and cross-referencing is provided for fuller utilization of the matter and also for a better understanding of the subject at hand. Each entry is created in a simple and easy to understand language summarizing the most important aspects of creative research and writing related to the specific topic. Each article entry ends with significant bibliography and suggested sources for additional information.

“The Encyclopaedia of Buddhism is the first publication to satisfy the need for a vast introductory and a truly international work of reference. The wide range of matter dealt with in these volumes present the panoramic view of the civilization and culture of the Buddhists in its different facets and in different periods of history.” (jacket) No. 18978

“The Encyclopaedia of Islam, as the name implies, proposes to give its readers full and authoritative information on the entire cycle of Islamic interests, actions and doctrines. What Islam teaches and has taught; what has it done and is still doing for the development of human kind; its methods, past and present; its struggles, the triumphs, and the achievements of its adherents, not only for its own immediate benefit, but for the broadening and deepening of all true science, literature and art-all come within the scope of the Encyclopaedia of Islam. It differs from all previous works as it is not limited to the geographic and historic knowledge of Islam. It records all that Islam has done, not only in the field of religion and philosophy, but for the intellectual and artistic development of mankind. It chronicles what Islamic artists, educators, poets, philosophers, scientists and men of action have achieved in their several areas.

“No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore Islam, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly 1400 years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century Islam has grown extensively and intensively. A relative newcomer, Islam is one of the success stories of the world’s religions. It began in a dusty corner of Arabia a mere 14 centuries ago-which makes it the most modern of the great faiths. Today there are millions of Muslims throughout the world. The religion is dominant in the countries of North Africa, the Middle East, South and Western Asia and Indonesia.

“The living interests of Islamic people demand that they should have a means of informing themselves, and indeed the adherents of other religions, about their vast institution, which, whether they are Muslims or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny. As for Muslims, their duty as a member of the faith implies them to learn more and more fully its principles, while among non-Muslims the desire for a more intimate and accurate knowledge of things Islamic has increased in proportion to the growth of numbers and importance of Islam. It is felt too often that the inquiries related to the Islamic faith are not fully answered owing to the lack of ready availability of accurate material, at least in the English language. The Encyclopaedia of Islam, therefore, is the most convenient means of doing both, as it does, including the articles by the foremost Islamic scholars in every part of the world, in the condensed form that appeal to the man of action, and with the accuracy that satisfies the scholar.

“The word “Muslims” is taken in the most comprehensive meaning, as the contents of these volumes will show. The Encyclopaedia contains articles on all possible aspects of the Muslims, be it the religious beliefs and customs, every ethical movement of the Muslims, every philosophical and religious idea, every moral and spiritual practice. All important personages as are famous in the whole spectrum of Islamic philosophical and historical systems have been included, without making the work overly biased towards Islamic biography.

“The Encyclopaedia thus endevours at embracing the whole range of Muslim theology and philosophy, together with the relevant portions concerning its history, anthropology, psychology, economics, politics and diplomacy, sociology; and its arts, music, architecture etc. It also covers the most interesting, but largely neglected areas including subjects like medicine, alchemy, mathematics, astronomy, astrology etc. The readers will find the entries concerning the Islamic ideas on a vide range of controversial but relevant issues covering feminism, marriage, eating habits, gambling, drugs and drinking, sexuality, abortion, games etc. not to mention subjects like Mosque, language and literature, important Islamic places, pilgrimage, dresses; covering over 1100 articles.

“The present work is an attempt to meet the need for an Islamic Encyclopaedia, which is reliable and compact, and above all readily available to the general readers and scholars alike.” (jacket)

About the Book

The Reserve Bank of India has promoted research right from the early years of its existence. Excellent research papers have been prepared by some of the outstanding economists of the Bank. Barring exceptions, the invaluable research embodied in these papers has not been ‘widely’ disseminated.
Former Executive Director, Dr. A. Vasudevan has utilized his lifetime of experience at the central bank to painstakingly edit the present collection of research papers (organised under four sections) with a comprehensive introduction.

According to Dr. Vasudevan “The objective of the volume is not to include articles in a large number of areas but to include only those that focus on money, monetary policy and banking issues — areas in which the Reserve Bank’s expertise is widely recognized.”

The 20 chosen research papers included in the volume are contributed by :

D. Ajit, R.D. Bangar, Anupam Basu, Indranil Bhattacharya, B.K. Bhoi, Goutam Chatterjee, Abhiman Das, Narendra Jadhav, Himanshu Joshi, Renu Kohli, K.A. Menon, M.S. Mohanty, Ashok Nag, N. Nagarajan, Michael Debabrata Patra, Sitikantha Pattanaik, C. Rangarajan, D.C. Rao, Deba Prasad Rath, Mridul Saggar, Y.S.R. Sarma (late), Indranil Sengupta, Anoop Singh, A. Vasudevan, T.R. Venkatachalam, and Ghanshyam Upadhyay.

Dr. C. Rangarajan’s foreword to this volume adequately highlights its unique importance — a fact also echoed in the comments of two other distinguished experts, namely Professor R. Radhakrishna and Professor D.M. Nachane.

“This collection of research papers gives the flavour of the research work that is getting done in the Reserve Bank of India. They reveal both maturity and technical excellence.

I congratulate Dr. Vasudevan in undertaking this effort and choosing a spectrum of articles that is truly representative of the research in the Reserve Bank of India.”

Dr. C. Rangarajan
Chairman, Twelfth Finance Commission
Former Governor, Reserve Bank of India

“Dr. Vasudevan exemplifies the highest traditions of that rare but felicitous blend of impeccable academic scholarship and intimate experience of high-level policy-making. This volume, edited by him, largely reflects research studies done by his younger colleagues at the Reserve Bank of India. Most of the studies have drawn inspiration either from his direct participation or from his own writings. The study of several of the areas discussed in the book (such as the monetary transmission mechanism and money supply analysis) was pioneered by him in the Indian context during his long career at the Reserve Bank. It is a safe prognosis that the volume should prove rewarding both to academics researching on monetary economics as also to all those concerned with the fine art of monetary policy”

Professor D.M. Nachane
Former Director, Department of Economics, University of Mumbai

“This commendable book edited by Dr. A. Vasudevan, a leading monetary economist, is based on selected papers prepared by the monetary economists of the Reserve Bank of India during the last two decades for its in-house journal. The topics range from conceptual issues to macro monetary models and methodologies from traditional econometric techniques to recent advances in co-integration. It provides a useful insight into how monetary policy is responding to the problems of inflation and balance of payments and carefully assesses policy effects. A few papers present evidence bearing on the role of money supply in the inflationary process and make a case for money based monetary policy against the credit view, which dominated the monetary policy prior to reforms. The small sized macro econometric model based on Polak’s absorption approach estimated for exploring the interaction between fiscal deficit and external balance will be handy for class room teaching.

The introductory essay and introduction to sections by the editor provide a useful historical account of the issues, debates and policy responses, besides contextualizing the papers included in the book. The approach is both analytical and rigorous. It is a required reading for any one interested in policy design.

In my view, in terms of its coverage and range of insight, this book will be a most valuable source for students and economists.”

Professor R. Radhakrishna
Director, Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research (IGIDR), Mumbai

About the Author

Dr. A. Vasudevan, currently Honorary Advisor in the Reserve Bank of India, was Executive Director of the Reserve Bank between May 1996 and end-August 2000. As the Executive Director, he was in-charge of research, statistics, monetary policy and information technology departments. He has had vast international experience — Advisor to Executive Director for India at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) between 1984 and 1989; Member of the Indian Delegations to semi-annual IMF/ World Bank and G-24 meetings between 1984 and 1989 and again between 1993 and 2000; represented India at the UNDP Conference on financing of sustainable development at Santiago, Chile; Central Bank Deputy at the Group of Two Deputies’ meetings; and Member of the Task Force on Implementation of Standards and the Follow-up Group on the Implementation of Standards, appointed by the Financial Stability Forum.

Among the several Committees on which he served, the important ones were: Expert Group on Saving and Capital Formation in India, Government of India, 1996 (Member), the Working Group on Money Supply, Reserve Bank, 1998 (Vice-Chairman), and the Committee on Technology Upgradation in Banking Sector, Reserve Bank of India, 1999 (Chairman).

Apart from the present volume (edited by him), Dr. Vasudevan has recently authored Central Banking for Emerging Market Economies (Academic Foundation, 2003). Described as a “path-breaking work” of “encyclopaedic proportions”, within a short time-span this publication received extraordinary praise in several reviews across leading newspapers and journals. Having authored/edited a few other books earlier, Dr. Vasudevan has numerous scholarly writings of his own in various professional journals, both Indian and foreign. He also taught M.A. students at the University of Bombay (1966-69) on the theories of money and economic development and central banking.

Currently Dr. Vasudevan is engaged in writing the history of Reserve Bank of India — a task he has been entrusted with by a committee of the central bank, chaired by Dr. C. Rangarajan.

I know of no better introduction to international business transactions than this book, which elegantly combines a skilled lawyer’s experience, a broad historical sense and a wonderful wit and clarity in one short work. - Anupam Chander, Associate Professor of Law, Arizona State University, College of Law

“an outstanding work that provides a map through a particularly difficult legal minefield.”

Professor William W Park, Boston University

“I know of no better introduction to international business transactions than this book, which elegantly combines a skilled lawyer’s experience, a broad historical sense and a wonderful wit and clarity in one short work. This introduces a new genre of legal writing: laugh while you learn. Here is the one book that my students will carry with them from law school into practice.”

Anupam Chander, Associate Professor of Law, Arizona State University, College of Law

“Superbly written, loaded with insights, and humorous; this is easily at the top of my list of must-read books for corporate lawyers.”

Mitu Gulati, Acting Professor of Law, UCLA School of Law

“This is an excellent book. It covers the basic issues involved in negotiating eurocurrency loan agreements in a style that is authoritative and highly entertaining. It should be read by everyone with an interest in the subject.”

Peter M. Mortimer, Partner and Co-Practice Group Leader, Global Corporate Finance Group, Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, New York

“The only criticism I have regarding the book is that it is not mandatory reading for every financial services lawyer and it should be! This book presents, in an enjoyable and witty manner, many invaluable insights on how to negotiate loan agreements, as well as the purpose behind many standard provisions. It is one of the most informative legal texts I have ever read.”

John Teolis, partner, Blake Cassels & Graydon, Toronto

Spending on retailers’ own-label goods is rising, with growth running at an annual 5.3% in the US and 7.4% in Europe between 2000 and 2005. Private Label’s share has grown across almost all categories, as retailers move away from mere price competition. To defend their market share, branded manufacturers need both to stress their own advantages and learn from the supermarkets’ own innovations.

Scope

Quantitative data covering Private Label sales value between 2000 and 2005 with forecasts to 2010, broken down by country and category.
Comprehensive analysis of private label goods’ market share across all countries and categories between 2000 and 2010.
Detailed insights based on consumer survey data showing how and why people are changing their shopping behavior.
Action points offering practical strategies to counter the threat posed to branded CPG manufacturers by Private Label’s growth.

Report Highlights

Consumer spending on Private Label food, drinks and personal care in the US rose to reach US$108 billion in 2005, with strongest growth seen in the food market which reached a value of US$85 billion. European consumer spending grew at an even faster rate, with total sales reaching US$246 billion in 2005 to account for 23% of total CPG consumption.

Only 13.5% of consumers surveyed by It’s have more faith in claims made about Private Label brands than in Famous Brands. However, with 83% of consumers believing that Private Label varies significantly in quality from one retailer to another, the most trusted, best-known retailers can still compete with Famous Brands in consumers’ eyes.

Famous Brand manufacturers need to widen their range of brands to compete with Private Label. Retailers successfully offer value, mainstream and premium products under a single umbrella Private Label brand in order to capture all consumer groups and occasions, and Famous Brands will gain from following suit.

Reasons to Purchase

Obtain exclusive data concerning private label sales and share over time and by category across Europe and the US.
Improve your marketing strategy by understanding how consumers make the choice between Private Label and Famous Brand purchases.
View best practice examples of targeting and marketing both Private Label goods and Famous Brands that counter the retailers’ threat.
