The labour conditions in the readymade garments industry--a key sector in many Asian economies--are highlighted, with special reference to women stitchers in Bangladesh and women homeworkers in West Bengal. "The book also provides a wide-ranging overview of the processes of agrarian modernization and their impact on rural women.

Peter Custers discusses themes such as the commercialization of production, and feminist interpretations of the spread of high-yielding varieties of seeds in combination with agrochemical inputs in India. "The reader, further, is taken to Japan, where companies have developed management (less)

In earlier studies, historians of the region focused on mechanized rather than craft industries, arguing that traditional manufacturing was destroyed or devitalized during the colonial period, and that 'modern' industry is substantially different. Exploring new material from research into five traditional industries, Tirthankar Roy's book contests these notions, demonstrating that while traditional industry did evolve during the Industrial Revolution, these transformations had a positive rather than destructive effect on manufacturing generally.

In fact, the book suggests, the major industries in post-independence India were shaped by such transformations. Tirthankar Roy's book offers new and penetrating insights into India's economic and social history (less)

Through a particular case the narration sings the melody of several unsung words of misery of countless Indian women, who have either passed away or still continue to dwell in misfortune. Even in the midst of affluence they stand as the most helpless lot.

The story unfolds some of the basic causes of their vulnerability and implicitly highlights the means and ways to their empowerment. That it is better to be exploited in the labour market than at home is reflected in the analysis.

The text carries out a psychological analysis of the characters and tries to capture the dilemmas, conflicts, disturbances and the struggle of the human mind to retain peace. It ends with a note of optimism as (less)

However, the ecological disaster, cultural retrogression, social alienation, human rights, growing economic disparities, and the current economic depression are the challenges which need to be observed through a distinct perspective. The thought and the vision of Gandhi and Nehru can be significantly useful in managing the affairs.

While the need of local industry, swadeshi and the proper management of labour has been seriously felt the role of planned development is equally significant. The current volume presents a series of paper regarding the relevance of Gandhi and Nehru in the globalized era.

From the foreword: "This global gathering was an attempt to recognise and draw the world's attention to mountain women's immense contribution to sustaining life in harsh and fragile environments; to their roles, responsibilities, and rights as the nurturers of their families and communities; and to their stewardship of mountain ecosystems. It was a chance to admire and appreciate mountain women's resilience and drive, their arduous labour, and their willingness to adapt to a changing milieu by taking on entrepreneurial activities to catch up with monetised economies whilst still preserving their old traditions and cultures for future generations.

"Today 60 years after the assassination of Gandhi and more than eight decades after the publication of Hind Swaraj many concerned Indians, from India's heterogeneous citizenry, are slowly and intentionally calling for the acceptance of the concepts explained in his pamphlet as an alternative development model.

In particular, the moral values which Gandhi practically illustrated in his community-oriented experiments in agriculture are persistently advanced as profound and credible answers to the ever-intensifying crisis now confronting India. An awareness of Gandhi's Philosophy in national planning and transformation of an agricultural society has not been totally absent in India during the post-independence years.

As the author had demonstrated, especially through exploration of current experiments and writings of Indian economists and planners, the contrary holds true. This book makes an in-depth study of (less)
