  • Rajputana & Ajmer-Merwara, Vol-XXIV, Rajasthan
    PREFACE CENSUS TAKING, IT HAS RECENTLY BEEN explained by the Census Commissioner for India, should be regarded primarily as a detached collection and presentation of certain facts in tabular form for the use and consultation of the whole country, and, for that matter, the whole world. Conclusions are for ot.hers to draw. It is upon this understanding of their purpose that Tables have been printed in this volume with only the ,barest notes necessary to explain such points as definitions, change of areas, etc. But perhaps the word , barest' is too bare and requires some covering. In the past it has been customary to preface the Tables with many pages of text, devoted to providing some general description of the area concerned and supported by copious Subsidiary Tables and comparisons with data collected in other provinces, countries and states. On this occasion there is no prefatory text, no provision of extraneous comparisons, and Subsidiary Tables have virtually been made part of the Tables themselves. We may agree that the present method of presentation has much to recommend it. Those who seriously study census statistics at least can be presumed to be able to draw their own deductions: they do not need a guide constantly at their side, and indeed may actually resent his well-intentioned efforts. All that they require are t,he bare facts. Yet such people must ever constitute a very small minority. 'Vhat of the others-the vast majority of the public? It is hardly to be expected that they can be lured to Census Tavern by the offer of such coarse fare.

  • 'An Internationalised Rupee?'
    First Draft Speech for DG (SG) – March 6, 2006 ‘An Internationalised Rupee?’ I. Concept of Currency Internationalisation A currency can be termed ‘international’ if it is widely accepted across the world as a medium of exchange. Broadly, internationalisation of currency is characterized by the following: (a) payments for international transactions can be made in that currency; (b) both residents and non-residents can hold financial assets/liabilities denominated in that currency; and (c) freedom for non-residents to hold tradable currency balances, even beyond the territory of the issuing country. It is an indicator of the confidence that the external economy has in the economy of the issuing country, as it integrates with the global economy. Limited or full use of an ‘internationalised’ currency as legal tender in certain other countries is a possibility. Further, limited internationalisation within a geographical region is also possible. For example, the South African rand (ZAR) has the attributes and characteristics of an ‘international currency’ in the neighboring countries viz., Namibia, Swaziland and Lesotho. However, internationalisation of a currency does not necessarily require removal of all capital controls and it is consistent with a regime characterised by less than full capital mobility. The main economic factors underpinning internationalisation of currency are: (a) domestic stability which makes the currency attractive as a store of value; (b) a well-developed financial system with deep and liquid markets offering participants a wide range of services and products in terms of borrowing, investing and hedging; and (c) the bigger size of the economy as compared to the world output, financial markets and its significant role in trade, leads the outside world to increase the demand for internationalised currency for transaction purposes, and also to consider the use of such currency when making portfolio decisions.

    India-Persian Gulf Relations: From Transactional to Strategic Partnerships D WA Manjari Singh LAN RFA OR RE F S E T R U T D India’s relationsN with the Gulf countries have been exceptionallyIE significant since ancientE times and are multifaceted. The two have maintainedS C historical ties with each other in terms of trade, energy, security as well as a vast expatriate population. While the Indo-Gulf relations are dominated by energy cooperation, recent years have experienced a shift in their dynamics.
