  • It Can Be Inferred from the Findings That Media Professionals From
    It can be inferred from the findings that media professionals from Vadodara and Ahmedabad cities of Gujarat are able to uphold democratic values while addressing literate masses through the popular medium of newspapers. The overall favourable perceptions of media professionals also indicate that while dealing with citizens they may adhere to and protect different democratic values which strengthen democracy. There can be many reasons for the above findings. The state of Gujarat has around 5.06 crore of population. Its principal language is Gujarati followed by Hindi, Marathi, Sindhi and other languages in use. The Gujarati language press forms a mainstream here. So, the first and foremost reason could be rise in publications and readership of Gujarati newspapers. As per Media Trades Report, 2002, today there are 400 Gujarati language publications. Among dailies Gujarat Samachar, Sandesh, Gujarat Mitra claim a high readership. As per the media trades report of 2002, the top Gujarati dailies show that for the Sandesh, there are 33 lacs readers and for Gujarat Samachar 32 lacs readers, showing neck to neck competition. (Source-http://www.medaiwareinfotech.com/ newsletter/Guiarati/mainhtm #tvview) So, trend of increase readership may reveal favourable perceptions of media professionals at their work for newspapers at a satisfactory level and Within democratic framework. Further, a nationwide trend also supports a similar trend. Chacko (2006) reported highlights of a recent report of National Readership Study (NRS) 2006. It revealed that India is showing increase for in the readership and circulation of language newspapers. Of the 18 major dailies with a five million plus circulation each, only the Times of India at number 11 is published in English.

  • India Old and New
    INDIA OLD AND NEW BY SIR VALENTINE CHIROL AUTHOR OF "INDIAN UNREST," "THE EGYPTIAN PROBLEM," ETC. "We shall in time so far improve the character of our Indian subjects as to enable them to govern and protect themselves."—Minute by Sir Thomas Munro, Governor of Madras, Dec. 31, 1824. MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED ST. MARTIN'S STREET, LONDON 1921 FOREWORD It is little more than ten years since I wrote my Indian Unrest. But they have been years that may well count for decades in the history of the world, and not least in the history of India. Much has happened in India to confirm many of the views which I then expressed. Much has happened also to lead me to modify others, and to recognise more clearly to-day the shortcomings of a system of government, in many ways unrivalled, but subject to the inevitable limitations of alien rule. At a very early stage of the Great War the Prime Minister warned the British people that, after the splendid demonstration India was already giving of her loyalty to the cause for which the whole Empire was then in arms, our relations with her would have henceforth to be approached from "a new angle of vision." The phrase he used acquired a deeper meaning still as the war developed from year to year into a life-and- death struggle not merely between nations but between ideals, and India claimed for herself the benefit of the ideals for which she too fought and helped the British Commonwealth to victory. When victory was assured, could India's claim be denied after she had been called in, with all the members of the British Commonwealth, to the War Councils of the Empire in the hour of need, and again been associated with them in the making of peace? The British people have answered that question as all the best traditions of British governance in India, and all the principles for which they had fought and endured through four and a half years of frightful war, bade them answer it.

    Leadership for Environment And Development ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 2006 TO MARCH 2007 1 We have changed our Financial YearYear fromfrom the International calendacalendarr year to the Indian Financial Yearr i.e. AprilApril to March.March. Due to being in the transient phase, this report therefore covers the 2 15 months, starting January 2006 ending March 2007. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Sustainable development is a process that seeks to combine economic and social development with a respect for the integrity of natural systems. It is not just a cook book of technological options that are environmentally safe and sound. It is a way of handling development that seeks to promote economic advance, social progress and sound management of the environment and natural resources simultaneously, not through separate programmes but through interventions that combine all of these in one package. In fact its basic message is that these goals are not in confl ict but can reinforce one another. Nitin Desai, President – LEAD India Many changes are required in the way in which we manage development if we wish to pursue sustainable development. The most important of these is the need for a new type of development professional who combines the economist’s grasp of cost-benefi t analysis and the working of markets with the ecologist’s understanding of ecosystems and how the different elements in it are related and uses this understanding for practical ends with a deep concern for social inclusion and equity, within and between generations. This in essence is what LEAD (Leadership for Environment and Development) tries to do.

The irony of this largely non-violent struggle led by Mahatma Gandhi was that it ended in the most violent and bloodiest partition of the country which claimed the lives of two million civilians and uprooted countless millions in what became the largest forced migration of people the world has ever witnessed.
