...Issues and Concerns of Commodity Derivative Markets in India: An Agenda for Research Nilanjan Ghosh 1. Introduction Commodity derivative markets have traditionally been a contentious issue at various policy forums across the world, particularly with the imbroglio created by allegations from various corners that they encourage excessive speculation and are therefore responsible for the recent commodity price escalation. While this suspicion of excessive speculation in the commodity markets has always been there among policymakers in developing nations like India, it has become more widespread since 2008 in the wake of worldwide inflationary pressures on food and energy. The sudden deflation in the value of various assets underlying different derivatives, which includes commodity derivatives, in the wake of the global meltdown has provoked greater apprehension about the economic utility of futures markets. The suspicion has reached such a high that even the U.S., the biggest proponent of market forces with the most active commodity exchanges in the world, is considering new modes of regulation, and is also investigating the role of commodity derivative trading in the steep rise in prices of wheat, rice, and crude oil. On the other hand, ever since commodity derivative trading was allowed in India in the new millennium, there has always been a hue and cry against such markets, with the alleged notion of excessive “speculation”, though there has rarely been any evidence for it. Rather...

...WHEN THE BLOOD TURNS SAFFRON OR GREEN SUMIT DALAL Assistant professor Delhi University Abstract – India being home to countless communities and religion, taking pride in its diversity, is yet to fulfil the dream of secularism in a real sense. Even in 21st century when communal riots can be the potent way to settle political scores, it takes no time to understand that there is something severely wrong at the top level. Therefore the masses need to understand that ultimately its they who suffer and mourn, the ruling elite class goes untouched as always. The solution can thus, only come from the mango people itself. Keywords- communal violence, bloodshed, caste and communities, religion, indifferent authorities. Right in the middle of the violent clashes, the critically acclaimed Bollywood movie released a way back in 1995, demands a mention to portray the recent communal turmoil. The hindu protagonist in the film cuts the wrist of himself and his muslim love interest to prove that the blood flowing is of the same colour, making it impossible to differentiate on any basis, leave alone religion. Mr. Mani Ratnam would have never thought that his plot would win the test of times and still stand relevant in the seventh decade of independence of world’s largest democracy. With an economy among the world’s ten largest India’s status as a re-emerging global power is now not just recognised, but is increasingly institutionalised with a seat in G-20 , increasing clout in international...

...next ten years (1978-1987). This command: a radical reconstruction of education under the auspices of a social movement that eliminated the monopoly of the state and forced to work to reform the system for the poor and needy (Mathur, 2001). Although the report was approved by the government of the time and was used to write the draft National Policy on Education in 1979, the government fell soon after and the project was shelved. (Pal and Ghosh, 2007) When Indira Gandhi returned to power in 1980 she was devoted to the modernization of the economy and society and education policy change to strengthen the role of technology. In this thought, she was assisted and influenced by her sons who were educated in western science Rajiv and Sanjay, who held an official position at this time. How India could keep abreast of modern technology and how all people could participate in social transformation through technology, had become their main concerns. While most of the nation's children now have access to a primary school, literacy rate is still very low. (Pal and Ghosh, 2007) Education has made substantial progress in providing the facilities for primary school since 1950. (Pratham, 2009) The gross enrollment rate (including a large number of older children) increased from 42.6 to 95.9 over the same period. (Pratham, 2009) The dropout rate recorded however was extremely high. Of the 100 children enrolled in grade 1 to grade 40 survived 5 and 25 to factors that inhibit progress is recorded...
