  • India Emerging As an Economic Superpower
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 20, Issue 5, Ver. IV (May. 2015), PP 45-50 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org India Emerging as an Economic Superpower Himani Assistant Professor In Economics D.A.V. College For Girls, Yamuna Nagar Abstract: With nearly 1.1 billion inhabitants, India is the second largest country on earth in population, and seventh largest in geographical area, over 1.1 million square miles. This is almost 1,000 people for every square mile of area nationwide—much denser than even China. Since achieving independence from British rule in 1947, it has seen its share of conflict, struggle and setbacks. Although India still faces many challenges, it is now poised to reach a higher position on the world scene than at any previous time. The Indian economy has grown an average of around 6% annually over the past decade and 8% per year over the past three years— among the fastest rates in the world. It boasts an emerging middle class and increasing gross domestic product, exports, employment and foreign investment. This is complemented by a roaring stock market (index value up by a third in 2005 and by 200% since 2001), low external debt and large foreign exchange reserves. Recent visits from leaders and officials from the United States, France, Germany and Russia have spotlighted India‟s rise. These wealthier nations see India as a trading partner with enormous potential. Now the question is „Will India Become a Superpower?‟ This paper is an attempt to show that “Whether India is really becoming an economic super power or is it a myth?” I.

  • An Exploration of the Institutions, Characteristics and Drivers of Elite Philanthropy in India
    Swinburne University of Technology Faculty of Business & Law DRAFT An exploration of the institutions, characteristics and drivers of elite philanthropy in India John Godfrey BA, MSc, Grad. Dip Arts Admin Student ID 1700367 Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Swinburne University of Technology, Faculty of Business & Law. Year of approval for award 2020. Abstract This thesis fills a gap in the empirical study of elite philanthropy which to date has been confined to mostly Western philanthropy, informed by Christian and Jewish norms and traditions. This research explores a tradition and practice of philanthropy which has its early roots in dharmic and Islamic tradition yet, as is shown, has been influenced by Western rules and norms. Twenty-eight philanthropists were interviewed. The two religions these respondents most identified with were Hindu or Parsi, though some identified as Jain, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist. The research applies a theoretical framework described as a moral citizenship. This framework brings together two theoretical models developed by Schervish - identification theory and moral biography (Schervish et al. 1998; Schervish and Havens 1997; Schervish and Havens 2001b, 2002; Schervish and Herman 1988; Schervish et al. 2001). These models, they argue, provide the most fruitful way to identify the social and psychological frameworks that mobilise the agency of philanthropists. The methodology used to apply this theoretical framework used long interviews in which respondents were given free rein to talk about their philanthropic activity in their own terms. This methodology follows in the steps of others such as Breeze and Lloyd (2013), Lloyd (2004), Odendahl (1990), Ostrower (1995), Panas (1984, 2019 [1984]), Scaife et al.
