Anthropology - Dissertations. 93. https://surface.syr.edu/ant_etd/93 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Anthropology - Dissertations by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Aghoreshwar Mahaprabhu Baba Bhagawan Ram Ji, a well-established saint of the holy city of Varanasi in north India, initiated many changes into the erstwhile Aghor tradition of ascetics in India. This tradition is regarded as an ancient system of spiritual or mystical knowledge by its practitioners and at least some of the practices followed in this tradition can certainly be traced back at least to the time of the Buddha. Over the course of the centuries practitioners of this tradition have interacted with groups of other mystical traditions, exchanging ideas and practices so that both parties in the exchange appear to have been influenced by the other. Naturally, such an interaction between groups can lead to difficulty in determining a clear course of development of the tradition. In this dissertation I bring together micro-history, hagiography, folklore, religious and comparative studies together in an attempt to understand how this modern day religious-spiritual tradition has been shaped by the past and the role religion has to play in modern life, if only with reference to a single case study.

  • Current Affairs February-2014
    CURRENT AFFAIRS FEBRUARY-2014 Reserve Bank of India • The RBI Working Paper Warns of Strains in Asset Quality of Banks – A Reserve Bank of India (RBI) working paper ha warned banks of further strains on their asset quality. The working paper titled, Re-emerging Stress in the Asset Quality of Indian Banks: Macro-financial Linkages, stated if the current adverse macro-economic condition persisted, the system level gross Non-Performing Assets (NPA) ratio could rise to 4.4% by end March, 2014. − This ratio could go up to 7.6% under the severe risk scenari. In October, 2013, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) scaled down its projection of world Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth for 2013 to 2.9%. − In its First Quarter Review of Monetary Policy 2013-14, the RBI has also revised its growth projection for 2013-14 downwards to 5.5%. While the credit growth in the recent period had ebbed, the RBI projected the non-food credit growth to be around 15% in 2013-14. Thus, notwithstanding the fact that credit growth is not going to be significantly robust, muted economic prospects and global headwinds could lead to further deterioration in asset quality. − The position is not alarming at the current juncture, and some comfort is provided by the sound capital adequacy of banks, which ensure that the banking system remains resilient even in the unlikely contingency of having to absorb the entire existing stock of NPAs. • The RBI Working Paper Warns of Strains in Asset Quality of Banks – A Reserve Bank of India (RBI) working paper has warned banks of further strains of their asset quality.

  • Development of Steel Industries of Odisha
    Development of Steel Industries of Odisha When we talk about the growth potential of Iron Ore based Industries in Odisha, our state is considered to be mineral hub of India with 92% chromite,92% Nickel,52% Bauxite,44%Manganese,33% Iron Ore and 24% Coal reserves of the country. The state is the largest producer of stainless steel in the country and has more than 20% of steel making capacity of the country. Major Steel producers like TATA steel, Bhusan Steel Limited (BSL),Bhusan Power and Steel limited(BSPL), Jindal Stainless Steel(JSL)and Jindal Steel and Power Limited have their mother plants in the sate besides ESSAR Steel Limited which has started pellet production in the 1st phase to be followed with setting up an integrated Steel Plant. Surrounded by these large mother plants, a National Investment and Manufacturing Zone(NIMZ) is being developed at Kalinganagar. Spread over 160sq km, the zone is envisaged to become a self contained ecosystem along with residential, commercial and social amenities and will enable the potential investors foer setting up value added downstream facilities. The Union steel ministry is confident that the Kalinganagar industrial complex in Odisha can contribute 20 per cent of the country's targeted 300 million tonne steel capacity by 2030. "Odisha is blessed with all kind of minerals. There is scope for a steel hub here. We are expecting at least 20 per cent of the new capacity to meet the targeted 300 million tonne steel output capacity by 2030-31 will come from Kalinganagar", said Union steel minister Chaudhary Birender Singh, who attended the Steel Consumers Council meeting at Bhubaneswar some times in June 2017.
