Traditional rangoli designs are often created on the ground in front of the entrances to homes, using finely ground powders in vivid colors. This ancient art form is believed to have originated from the Indian state of Maharashtra, and it is known by different names, such as kolam or aripana, in other states. Rangoli de- signs are considered to be symbols of good luck and welcome, and are created, usually by women, for special occasions such as festivals (espe- cially Diwali), marriages, and birth ceremonies.

  • Mohur, Rupee, Dam: Indian Trimetallism in This Essay, We Examine

    Mohur, Rupee, Dam: Indian Trimetallism in This Essay, We Examine

    Mohur, rupee, dam: Indian trimetallism ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ In this essay, we examine the ‘trimetallic’ initiative operated in India during the early Mughal period. In his ‘The Currency of India’ from 1886, William Douglas informs us that the ‘ancient standard’ (whatever is meant by this nomenclature) of the ‘Hindoos’ was gold, with copper for small coinage. The ‘Mohammedan Emperors,’ apparently, were the first to introduce silver coinage in volume into northern India. Douglas’ commentary has a greater element of (perhaps unintended) deception than truth even though overall it seems quite innocuous. This is to do with the ‘legal aspect’ of money implied in his commentary but this will not be developed here. It would be fairer to describe the monetary arrangement by the Mughals as free ‘trimetallic’ – meaning that gold, silver and copper coins circulated together without any form of relationship being somehow imposed between them by ‘state’ authorities. A relationship being ‘imposed’ between them pre-supposes that such an imposition is possible; which it isn’t and the most (or least) cursory of investigations confirms this †. Akbar the Great (1542 – 1605) formalised the coinage circulating at the time into the 169 troy grain gold ‘mohur,’ 178 troy grain silver ‘rupee’ and the 323 grain copper ‘dam’ or ‘paisa.’ The relative ratio of exchange between these coins at a particular ‘place’ was left entirely to the market(s) at the ‘place’ to establish. Silver rupees minted in the current or previous year were known as ‘sikka’ rupees and had a premium over older, potentially worn, coins. However, this premium was not determined by the market but controlled by imperial money-dealers or ‘sarrafs.’ Taxes and dues could usually only be paid in ‘sikka’ rupees; and were the imperial treasury running low, this premium could be increased to induce holders of old coins to have them re-minted thus creating revenue.

    The EU-India Partnership: Time to Go Strategic? Institute for Security Studies Security for Institute European Union

    The EU-India partnership: time to go strategic? go to time The partnership: EU-India European Union Institute for Security Studies How can India and the EU expand their relationship from its current economic dimension Indian Council of to a broader, security-based dimension? Why is this not happening in spite of expressed World Affairs willingness and the clear reciprocal benefits that would ensue? Is there a lack of frank dialogue on sensitive areas, or is there a more general lack of mutual understanding? The various Indian and European contributors to this volume – the result of long-standing collaboration between the Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA) and the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) – assess incipient progress and explore ways to advance India-EU relations in the bilateral and multilateral dimensions of the Strategic Partnership. Although it was launched in 2004, a consensus emerges that such a partnership cannot be called strategic as yet. Continuing discussion and analysis of pressing issues is thus necessary in order to facilitate a breakthrough. This book contains detailed proposals for widening the scope of cooperation to both traditional and non-traditional security issues, such as counter-terrorism, security sector reform in third countries and energy. It also explores the potential for India and the EU to reach consensus in international governance forums, with particular emphasis on economic governance, as well as prospects for effective inter- regional cooperation on the main global security
