Management Education as Modernization
In extant historiography, management education was exported by U.S. elites, particularly its philanthropic foundations, leading business schools, and academic experts and consultants, to the Global South in the mid-20th century. This Americanization of management education was part of the wider Cold War-era development and was motivated by the U.S. fight against communism and the drive to promote capitalist development across the Global South. Bu…
‘I thought I lost my childhood’
Background Despite its universality, menstruation is often surrounded by cultural taboos and stigmas that impact how girls experience and manage their menstrual health. Objectives To explore the emotional and psychological responses of adolescent girls at the onset of menarche; to assess the level of preparedness and the role of prior discussions in shaping adolescent girls' experiences with menarche; to identify the prevailing menstrual practice…
Elite philanthropy in global capitalism
This paper, and the special section it introduces, argues that elite philanthropy is integral to the machinations of global capitalism through its interventions across three key phases in the cyclical maintenance of the capitalist system. First, philanthropy enables capital accumulation both by creating new markets, and by consolidating elite class interests through the intergenerational transfer of wealth and philanthropic legacy. Second, it fra…
Mercury poisoning in women and infants inhabiting the Gangetic plains of Bihar
Mercury is a persistent, bio-accumulative, and hazardous contaminant. When released into the environment, it accumulates in water sediments, converting it to poisonous methylmercury that enters the food chain. The present study was carried out in habitations from the 11 districts of Bihar (India). In the study, n = 224 lactating women and their infants n = 172 infants participated. After obtaining the written informed consent, their breast milk, …

Exploring the Role of Perceived Social Support as a Predictor of Quality of Life Among Farmers
Agriculture continues to be the primary source of livelihood for a large section of India’s rural population. Despite its importance, farmers face a range of challenges such as climate change, debt, crop failure, and poor irrigation. These ongoing stressors significantly impact their quality of life. This study examines whether perceived social support can predict the quality of life among farmers. A sample of 100 farmers between the ages of 25 a…

Management’s collusion in poverty? Archetypes, conceits, and performative neophytism
Mainstream management studies’ arm’s length engagement with poverty exemplifies its performative neophytism as field. It is enabled by its problematic archetypes of the poor and their poverty: (a) that the poor are deficient; and (b) conceptualizing poverty as distance. They make way for mainstream management studies’ conceits: (a) that it is separate from poverty and dispossession it causes, and (b) that it possesses the resources to ‘solve’ pov…
Caste of Marginality and Migration in Bihar
In the world of ‘global capital—peripheral labour’, multiple strategies are employed to accumulate labouring bodies to augment accumulation, the lifeline of capitalism. Relations of inequalities have historically helped capitalism to accumulate and thrive. Growth in India and its accompanied en masse informalisation of labour is located at the intersection of caste, gender and migration. Foregrounding the cultural political economy of agrarian po…
Systematic Review of Sleep Monitoring Systems for Babies
Recently, baby healthcare monitoring systems have emerged as a key research area. However, numerous research studies have been conducted on babies and their state of either awakening or sleeping. But there is a lack of comprehensive and systematic review in this area of research. The existing research considers mostly the children’s monitoring vital health parameters, in turn, giving relaxation to the parents in caring of their babies. Still, the…

A Study on Economic Development Under Mughal Rule in Kashmir
The Mughal period in Kashmir emerged as a defining era, characterized by transformative socio-economic and cultural shifts. This research delves into the multifaceted influence of the Mughal Empire on Kashmir, examining the administrative reforms, economic prosperity, architectural marvels, and the intertwining of Mughal and Kashmiri identities. While the region thrived under the Mughals, experiencing urban growth, trade expansion, and cultural r…
Political Evolution of Kashmir during the Mughal Period
The Mughal period in Kashmir's history, spanning from the late 16th to the late 17th century, signifies a transformative phase in the region's political tapestry. With its strategic significance and natural allure, Kashmir invariably drew the attention of Mughal emperors, culminating in its annexation under Emperor Akbar in 1586. This research delves into the consequential shifts in political paradigms during the Mughal reign. It underscores the …
The tropical Indian Ocean matters for U. S. winter precipitation variability and predictability
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the key predictor for operational seasonal climate prediction in the United States (U. S.). Compared with the impact of the tropical Pacific associated with ENSO, the role of the Indian Ocean on U. S. climate variability and predictability is less documented. In this work, we noted that the impact of the tropical Indian Ocean is stronger than the tropical Pacific on winter precipitation variability in a …

A comprehensive view of existing policy directives and future interventions for water reuse in India
Water reuse is one of the most sustainable water augmentation option to cope up with the high water demands of the developing communities globally. It has several additional benefits such as nutrient recovery, economic gains and environmental benefits. Even though, water reuse is economical and sustainable, its practical implementation at a wide scale has many technical, social, institutional and regulatory challenges, especially in developing co…
Philanthropy and the Making of a New Moral Order
Community development, or the socio-economic transformation of local communities, has been a significant focus of organizational ethics. Such community development programmes—whether led by state, civil society, or businesses—are animated by modernization and have involved, I argue, the production of a new moral order. As part of which, communities were imagined in particular ways, historically. Drawing on a periodization of history of philanthro…
“Educate, Agitate, Organize”
Scholars of business and management studies have recently turned their attention to inequality, a key issue for business ethics given the role of private firms in transmitting—and potentially challenging—inequalities. However, this research is yet to examine inequality from a subaltern perspective. In this paper, we discuss the alleviation of inequalities in organizational and institutional contexts by drawing on the ideas of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, …
Prospective Observational Study of Surgical Site Infections in Clean and Clean Contaminated Surgeries in a Tertiary Care Hospital
Introduction: Surgical Site Infections [SSIs] have plagued surgeons since time immemorial. Infection is encountered by all the surgeons; by nature of their craft, they invariably impair the first line of host defences, the cutaneous or the mucosal barrier. The entrance of microbes into the host tissues is the initial requirement for infection. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted at tertiary care teaching ho…
Philanthropy and the Development of Modern India
Through their philanthropy, Indian elites have played an influential role in the country’s development in the twentieth century. Presenting an innovative history of postcolonial development, the book plots elites’ formulations and formations of modernity and its entanglement with the national question. In an unusual move that reads more familiar forms of modernization from the second half of the twentieth century alongside earlier ideas of nation…
The Effect of Socioeconomic Factors and Indoor Residual Spraying on Malaria in Mangaluru, India
India faces 0.5 million malaria cases annually, including half of all Plasmodium vivax malaria cases worldwide. This case-control study assessed socioeconomic determinants of urban malaria in coastal Mangaluru, Karnataka, southwestern India. Between June and December 2015, we recruited 859 malaria patients presenting at the governmental Wenlock Hospital and 2190 asymptomatic community controls. We assessed clinical, parasitological, and socioecon…
Performance evaluation of conservation plan for freshwater lakes in India through a scoring methodology
Bridges, platforms and satellites
Global philanthropy, especially that of large US philanthropic foundations, has played an active but not unproblematic role in international development. In this paper, we theorize the institutional strategies by which global philanthropy exercises its disproportionate influence. In particular, we offer bridges, interdigitates, leapfrogging, platforms and satellites as metaphors for theorizing the connections and disconnections that philanthropic…

From Henley to Harvard at Hyderabad? (Post and Neo-) Colonialism in Management Education in India
Founded in 1956, the Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI) was established with the objective of professionalizing management in post-colonial India through training, research, and consultancy. It was modeled on the Administrative Staff College at Henley-on-Thames (Henley), in the United Kingdom. Like Henley, ASCI used syndicates for its management training programs. Between 1958 and 1973, ASCI received more than $1.26 million from the For…
Beyond muffled murmurs of dissent? Kisan rumour in colonial Bihar
Rumour as a language of peasant politics in colonial Bihar has remained unexplored hitherto. Studies by Ranajit Guha and Shahid Amin are forceful but require further probing. Peasants deployed rumour as a device to articulate political aspirations and create public opinion when mass politics had yet to become a generalised affair. Such rumours often had religious sources and locations. Gandhi's idioms were successfully received by the masses owin…
Skilling and Its Histories
Written in the backdrop of the emerging official discourse around occupational skill training in contemporary India, this article returns to the past to explain how the meanings of skill and skill training were produced through the interaction of the colonial education system and industrial actors in modern India. Using archival records, it studies the history of the Lucknow Industrial School—one of the earliest government institutes to skill Ind…
Pragmatic and Paradoxical Philanthropy
Despite the growing interest in organized philanthropy from India, scholarship on the subject has remained thin. Existing literature argues that Indian philanthropy has been shaped by three, sometimes overlapping, narratives of managerialism, modernization and nationalism. Departing from such smooth and singular narratives, this article contends that modern Indian philanthropy has been shaped by colonialism, imperialism, managerialism, modernity,…
The ‘Untouchable School’
This article investigates Dalits’ dreams and desires for education in the United Provinces by examining hitherto unexplored records of the American Methodist Church missionaries and the Arya Samaj from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Focussed on the schools opened for Dalits and Dalit Christian converts by these two religious organisations, it explores the schools’ visions and objectives. The article presents the history of Dal…
Making community inclusion work for persons with disabilities
With the ratification of the United Nations Convention of Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), questions of community inclusion of persons with disabilities have gained considerable attention. While the principles of inclusion have been clearly defined through the CRPD, the dearth of critical assessment of ongoing processes and outcomes of community-based inclusive development prevents a more comprehensive understanding of the present achi…

The "Suryengalagan affair" of 1883 and its successors
In 1883 a conspiracy was formed in the Yogyakarta kraton. Reporting on it after its suppression, the Dutch Resident wrote: Both Javanese wars 1 began in this way... Diponegoro acted in the same way in 1825... and today too such tactics are not without chance of success... fanaticism and superstition are still two powerful motors in Java. Though the year 1830 has for long provided a distinct historiographical watershed, after which we hear no more…

The NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis
The NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) was completed for the 31-yr period from 1979 to 2009, in January 2010. The CFSR was designed and executed as a global, high-resolution coupled atmosphere–ocean–land surface–sea ice system to provide the best estimate of the state of these coupled domains over this period. The current CFSR will be extended as an operational, real-time product into the future. New features of the CFSR include 1) co…
Relationship between anomalies of Eurasian snow and southern China rainfall in winter
Characteristics of the snow water equivalent (SWE) over high-latitude Eurasia and its relation with precipitation in China during January, February and March (JFM) are investigated. The JFM Eurasian SWE exhibited a decadal downward shift in the late 1990s, marked by a frequently positive phase in 1979–98 and a negative phase afterward. The decadal shift corresponds to anomalous northeasterly flow over southeastern China. Consequently, warm and mo…

Educating the (neo-liberal) citizen
Citizenship has gained considerable popular currency in development and is increasingly being used to represent its objectives and outcomes. The popular conceptualisations of citizenship have not remained unaffected by neo-liberalism, which has established itself firmly as the dominant development framework. In mapping the neo-liberal influences in conceptualisations and expressions of citizenship – evidenced in the work of 11 NGOs in India – the…
