Indian Art and Architecture and its relation to Indian Music

noreply@blogger.com (Zia) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:39:00 +0000

Every culture of the world develops from the beliefs, practices and customs, traditions and values of its people. Through their lifestyle they develop systems of moral codes and norms, which they enrich with their activities and customs, of, which the arts, music, architecture, literature etc. have been a very majorly integral component.

To understand a kind of people the most important thing to study is their literature, and art. In case of India, the cultures that have developed are not one but many. The subcontinent has been a rich base for the cultivation of an even richer set of cultures, which have been influenced by different settlers of over thousands of years. The multitude of languages spoken and the mix of religions present have further enriched the land and its people. This paper in particular focuses on the visual arts and architecture in relation to their influence on Indian music.

Indian art is highly symbolic. The much-developed ritual-religious symbolism presupposes the existence of a spiritual reality that, being in constant touch with phenomenal reality, may make its presence and influence felt and can also be approached through the symbols that belong to both spheres. The art and architecture produced on the Indian subcontinent dates back to the 3rd millennium BC. Therefore from that alone it can be determined as to how culturally influenced it must have been. To Western eyes, Indian art can appear strikingly ornate, exaggeratedly sensuous, and voluptuous. A strong sense of design is also characteristic of Indian art and can be observed in its modern as well as in its traditional forms. Indian art is religious inasmuch as it is largely dedicated to the service of one of several great religions. It may be didactic or edificatory as is the relief sculpture of the two centuries before and after Christ; or, by representing the divinity in symbolic form (whether architectural or figural), its purpose may be to induce contemplation and thereby put the worshipper in communication with the divine. Not all Indian art, however, is purely religious, and some of it is only nominally so.

There were periods when humanistic currents flowed strongly under the guise of edificatory or contemplative imagery, the art inspired by and delighting in the life of this world. Although Indian art is religious, there is no such thing as a sectarian Hindu or Buddhist art, for style is a function of time and place and not of religion. Thus it is not strictly correct to speak of Hindu or Buddhist art, but, rather, of Indian art that happens to render Hindu or Buddhist themes. For example, an image of Vishnu and an image of Buddha of the same period are stylistically the same, religion having little to do with the mode of artistic expression. Nor should this be surprising in view of the fact that the artists belonged to nondenominational guilds, ready to lend their services to any patron, whether Hindu, Buddhist, or Jaina.

The religious nature of Indian art accounts to some extent for its essentially symbolic and abstract nature. It scrupulously avoids illusionistic effects, evoked by imitation of the physical and ephemeral world of the senses; instead, objects are made in imitation of ideal, divine prototypes, whose source is the inner world of the mind. This attitude may account for the relative absence of portraiture and for the fact that, even when it is attempted, the emphasis is on the ideal person behind the human lineaments rather than on the physical likeness. To be properly understood, the art of India must be placed in the ideological, aesthetic, and religious framework of Indian civilization.

This framework was formed as early as the 1st century BC and has shown a remarkable continuity through the ages. The Hindu-Buddhist-Jain view of the world is largely concerned with the resolution of the central paradox of all existence, which is that change and perfection, time and eternity, immanence and transcendence, operate dichotomously and integrally as parts of a single process. In such a situation creation cannot be separated from the creator, and time can be comprehended only as eternity. This conceptual view, when expressed in art, divides the universe of aesthetic experience into three distinct, although interrelated, elements—the senses, the emotions, and the spirit.

These elements dictate the norms for architecture as an instrument of enclosing and transforming space and for sculpture in its volume, plasticity, modeling, composition, and aesthetic values. Instead of depicting the dichotomy between the flesh and the spirit, Indian art, through a deliberate sensuousness and voluptuousness, uses one with the other through a complex symbolism that, for example, attempts to transform the fleshiness of a feminine form into a perennial mystery of sex and creativity, wherein the momentary spouse stands revealed as the eternal mother.

The Indian artist deftly uses certain primeval motifs, such as the feminine figure, the tree, water, the lion, and the elephant. In a given composition, although the result is sometimes conceptually unsettling, the qualities of sensuous vitality, earthiness, muscular energy, and rhythmic movement remain unmistakable.

The form of the Hindu temple; the contours of the bodies of the Hindu gods and goddesses; and the light, shade, composition, and volume in Indian painting are all used to glorify the mystery that resolves the conflict between life and death, time and eternity.

The arts of India expressed in architecture, sculpture, painting, jewelers, pottery, metalwork, and textiles, were spread throughout the Far East with the diffusion of Buddhism and Hinduism and exercised a strong influence on the arts of China, Japan, Myanmar (formerly Burma), Thailand, Cambodia, and Java. These two religions with their various offshoots were dominant in India until Islam became powerful from the 13th to the 18th century. With Islam, which forbids the representation of the human figure in religious contexts, geometrical patterns became the most common form of decoration in art and architecture created under India’s Muslim rulers, especially the Mughals.

The earliest surviving Indian architecture consists of brick buildings. While early wooden structures have generally not survived, later stone buildings, built in a similar style, are known. The oldest traces of architecture in India are the vestiges of buildings of burnt brick found at Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa (now in Pakistan), dating from about 2500-1750 BC. The subsequent Vedic period, which precedes the beginning of historical styles, is represented by burial mounds at Lauriya Nandangarh, in Bihâr State, and rock-cut tombs in Malabar, Kerala State. The establishment of historical styles began about 250 BC in the time of the Indian king Ashoka, who gave imperial patronage to Buddhism. Accordingly, the monuments of this time were built for Buddhist purposes.

A characteristic Buddhist construction was the tope, or stupa, a hemispherical or bell-shaped masonry monument, typically surrounded by a railing, and with four entrances marked by gateways, and designed as a shrine or reliquary. Buddhism waned after the 5th century as Hinduism and Jainism became dominant. The Jain and Hindu styles overlapped and produced the elaborate allover patterns carved in bands that became the distinguishing feature of Indian architecture. The Jains often built on a gigantic scale, a marked feature of their architecture being pointed domes constructed of level courses of corbelled stones.

The Hindu style is closely related to the Jain style. It is divided into three general categories: northern, from AD 600 to the present; central, from 1000 to 1300; and southern, or Dravidian, from 1350 to 1750. In all three periods the style is marked by great ornateness and the use of pyramidal roofs. Spire-like domes terminate in delicate finials. Other features include the elaborate, grand-scale gopuras, or gates, and the choultries, or ceremonial halls. The next style that remained dominant was that of the Islamic era. Islamic architecture in India dates from the 13th century to the present. Brought to India by the first Muslim conquerors, Islamic architecture soon lost its original purity and borrowed such elements from Indian architecture as courtyards surrounded by colonnades, balconies supported by brackets, and above all, decoration. Islam, on the other hand, introduced to India the dome, the true arch, geometric motifs, mosaics, and minarets. Despite fundamental conceptual differences, Indian and Islamic architecture achieved a harmonious fusion, especially in certain regional styles.

Indo-Islamic style is usually divided into three phases: the Pashtun, the Provincial, and the Mughal. Examples of the earlier Pashtun style in stone are at Ahmadabad in Gujarat State, and in brick at Gaur-Pandua in West Bengal State. These structures are closely allied to Hindu models, but are simpler and lack sculptures of human figures. The dome, the arch, and the minaret are constant features of the style. The Provincial style reflected the continued rebellion of the provinces against the imperial style of Delhi. The best example of this phase is in Gujarat, where for almost two centuries until 1572, when Emperor Akbar finally conquered the region, the dynasties that succeeded one another erected many monuments in varying styles. The most notable structures in this phase are found in the capital, Ahmadabad. The Mughal phase of the Indo-Islamic style, from the 16th to the 18th century, developed to a high degree the use of such luxurious materials as marble. The culminating example of the style is the Taj Mahal in Agra. This domed mausoleum of white marble inlaid with gemstones was built (1632-1648) by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a tomb for his beloved wife. It stands on a platform set off by four slender minarets and is reflected in a shallow pool.

Building in India since the 18th century has either carried on the indigenous historical forms or has been modelled after European models introduced by the British. Numerous examples of Western styles of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries may be seen in public buildings, factories, hotels, and houses. The most outstanding example of modern architecture in India is the city of Chandîgarh, the joint capital of Haryana and Punjab; the city was designed by the Swiss-born French architect Le Corbusier in collaboration with Indian architects. The broad layout of the city was completed in the early 1960s. Notable architectural features include the vaulted structure, topped by a huge, concrete dome, and the use of concrete grille and bright pastel colours in the Palace of Justice; the arrangement of concrete cubes topped by a concrete dome that is the Governor’s Palace; and the use of projections, recesses, stair towers, and other contrasting elements to break the monotony of the long façades of the secretariat building, which are 244 m (800 ft) long. Modern Indian architecture has incorporated Western styles, adapting them to local traditions and needs—as in the design of the railway station at Alwar, Rajasthan State.

The next most important aspect of Indian culture is Indian Music. It is an element that forms an integral part of their religion in addition to the culture. Dance in fact is an expression of that music and that too has religious importance in Hinduism. However one other important issue to consider is that the art and the architecture of the land were greatly influenced by religious beliefs and customs, as has been seen especially by the Buddhist and Islamic religions. The same is true for the music. That too was greatly influenced by religion. In fact the first forms of music were religious hymns and ballads called bhajans. They were songs sets to musical instruments such as the sitar and table and they were stories about religion and mythology.

Just as there is no such language as Indian, but instead many hundreds of languages, with over a dozen considered major, so there is no single entity as Indian music. The range of musical styles and traditions in the subcontinent of South Asia, which comprises modern India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, is in proportion to the vastness of the geographical area and the density of population. This is most obviously the case with folk and tribal music. Given that India is predominantly rural, it could be claimed that such categories of music are those of the majority. On the other hand, the rapid development of communications and wider access to the mass media have helped to create what is almost, despite the language differences, a pan-Indian popular music, recorded and disseminated electronically. This emanates from the Indian film industry, the largest in the world, of which the products tend to adhere to formulaic devices, including many songs and dances.

What is usually understood by the term Indian music refers to the classical tradition, based on the melodic system of raga and the rhythmic system of tala. This music is traced back thousands of years to the vedic chants of the early Hindu settlers, though it has reached its present form in the last four or five hundred years. Its development over almost the last two thousand years has been documented in a series of theoretical treatises, mostly written in Sanskrit, which enhance its status, whether they elucidate or obscure its actual practices. The word commonly found in Sanskrit for music is sangit, which denotes the primacy of vocal music, with instrumental music largely derived from it, and dance as a further integral element. Although it is not expected that musicians will be dancers, it is still vital that dancers be musicians.

Muslim invasions and the establishment of the Delhi Sultanate in the 13th century and the Mughal Empire in the 16th century in the northern part of the subcontinent greatly contributed to a bifurcation of classical music by the 16th century into a northern tradition of Hindustani music, and a southern tradition of Carnatic music, and a gradual shift in both from religious application to a courtly entertainment. Both retain their basis in raga and tala and share many other general features, though they are sufficiently different in detail to necessitate separate training. Since independence from British rule in 1947 and the demise of the princely courts, Indian music has moved to the concert hall, the recording studio, and the world stage.

Hindustani Music is the classical tradition of the northern part of the Indian subcontinent, including Pakistan, Bangladesh and, to some extent, Afghanistan. It also corresponds to the area of Indo-Aryan languages and the greatest concentrations of Muslims within a predominantly Hindu region. Many of its characteristics are traced back to the court poet and musician, Amir Khusrou, at the end of the 13th century. From his accounts, and from treatises by other authors, it is clear that the Indian music of that time was already highly sophisticated, and he is said to have introduced several Arabic and Persian elements. This process continued under subsequent rulers, especially the Mughal Emperor Akbar in the late 16th century, whose court boasted the legendary singer, Tansen, and the later Mughals and regional rulers in the 18th and 19th centuries. Under their patronage music became a matter of prestige, and there was intense rivalry between courts and between the musicians themselves. Repertoires were often jealously guarded, and much of the teaching was kept strictly within the family. This helps to explain the rise of gharanas, traditions associated with different families, usually of Muslim court musicians and named after the city in which they were employed. Although gharanas are still talked about as a means of indicating a musical pedigree, they have been dying out since the demise of the courts and the advent of recordings and rapid communication, and also because of the greater mobility and independence of the musicians.

When the great theorist, Bhatkhande, collected music from court musicians in the early years of the 20th century, he found not only a huge range of compositions but also of performing styles. As part of his effort to classify Hindustani music and reconcile theory with practice, he grouped the thousands of melodic types, ragas, under ten scales, or thats. Only a fraction of the ragas in existence are in common use. The priority in Hindustani music is the maximum development of the minimum material, so a musician needs to know a few ragas in depth, rather than a large number superficially.

However the most important relation of Indian music to art is through the raga. Raga is the melodic basis of Indian classical music. Each raga has infinite possibilities of variation, and a skilful performer can extend improvised and composed material from a few minutes to well over an hour. The origin of the word, from a Sanskrit root meaning color, suggests that a raga is more than a musical idea. Its correct rendition must instill a certain mood in its listeners, creating aesthetic delight (rasa), and ragas have been associated with paintings and poetic aphorisms in the thousand or so years of their existence. Therefore the visual arts through the paintings and their rendition into architecture have influenced music through the development of the ragas. There are many and they in turn form the basis for all kinds of musical interpretations.

In the North Indian tradition of Hindustani music, ragas are also assigned to particular times of the day or night, and, in many cases, also to seasons of the year. Each raga must be distinguishable from all others, whether in the Hindustani or the southern tradition of Carnatic music.

The development of the raga will normally continue with one or more compositions, set in particular talas, or time cycles. In vocal music, which is always pre-eminent in Indian music, the main Hindustani song forms are the khyal and dhrupad, and there are several shorter forms, usually of a lighter nature, such as thumri, and tarana.

Khyal, as its name suggests, has strong Muslim influences, while dhrupad, a term from Sanskrit, is older and regarded as essentially Hindu, although it developed to its present form in the Mughal courts.

Conclusively it can be said that the development of music descended for art, in the sense that the basis of Indian music the ragas, were musical expressions of the existing art, and architectural depictions of the periods and styles that they were developed in. In addition it can also be determined that Indian music is the soul of the Indian culture whose body is the art of the subcontinent.

Indian Chinese food culture in NewYork

noreply@blogger.com (Zia) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:32:00 +0000

For such an ethnic and mouth watering Chinese cuisine mixed with traditional and spicy Indian cooking just check out http://www.indomunch.com/.

A meal in Chinese culture is typically seen as consisting of two or more general components: (1) a carbohydrate source or starch, — typically rice, noodles, and (2) accompanying dishes of vegetables, meat, fish, or other items. This cultural conceptualization is in some ways in contrast to cuisines of Northern Europe and the USA, where meat or animal protein is often considered the main dish, and analogous to the one of most Mediterranean cuisines, based typically on wheat-derived components like pasta. To enjoy traditional Indian Chinese food,

Rice is a critical part of much of Chinese cuisine. However, in many parts of China, particularly northern China. wheat-based products including noodles and steamed buns predominate, in contrast to southern China where rice is dominant.

Despite the importance of rice in Chinese cuisine, at extremely formal occasions, it is sometimes the case that no rice at all will be served; in such a case, rice would only be provided when no other dishes remained, or as a token dish at the end of the meal. Soup is usually served at the start of a meal and at the end of a meal in Southern China.

Chopsticks are the primary eating utensil in Chinese culture for solid foods, while soups and other liquids are enjoyed with a wide, flat-bottomed spoon (traditionally made of ceramic). It is reported that wooden chopsticks are losing their dominance due to recent logging shortfalls in China and East Asia; many Chinese eating establishments are considering a switch to a more environmentally sustainable eating utensil, such as plastic or bamboo chopsticks. More expensive materials used in the past included ivory and silver.

ONE: Choose an Authentic Indian Restaurant

Many Indian restaurants in the United Kingdom have changed their recipes to suit the taste buds of the British mouth. This has often led to curries becoming an unhealthy option contributing to the growing obesity problem in the UK and unfairly labeling Indian food as unhealthy 'take away', alongside doner kebabs and fish and chips. But authentic Indian cooking is nothing of the sort. Authentically prepared and cooked Indian food uses high quality, lean meat and low fat ingredients, and is actively good for you! If you choose an authentic Indian restaurant, you can enjoy healthy Indian food.

TWO: Choose a Tandoori

Did you know that choosing Tandoori is one of the best ways to eat healthily when you visit an Indian take away or restaurant?

It's eaten with bread or roti, the choice is yours.

FIVE: Choose to Avoid the Crispy and Fried

It probably goes without saying, but anything that says 'crispy' or 'fried' has spent a bit too long in the deep fryer.

Also, avoid the Biriani if you can, it was named after the Persani word for 'Fried'.

Abha's Magic Noopur

noreply@blogger.com (Zia) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:28:00 +0000

In Padmalaya, the land of lotus and lakes, it is said there lived a young girl named Abha so called for the lovely lustre of her hair which ran like a river down her back and touched her ankles. So beautiful was Abha that men came from the far off places of India just to gaze on her.

Abha was given many gifts by her admirers but the one she treasured most was a magic noopur or anklet which, when she removed all her clothes and let her hair become her saree, she wore only the noopur as her solitary accessorie...and truly she needed no other.

Abha believed the noopur was magic and that it would protect her from all harm. And so when she wore it to swim in the fast current of the river one day she had no fear so long as she had her noopur. But that day the noopur was torn off her ankle by the rushing torrent, and Abha succumbed to the raging waters and drowned.

They laid out her naked body on the shore and cried for her and the noopur floated away on the glistening waves.

Wildlife Tourism in India

noreply@blogger.com (Zia) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 18:50:00 +0000

Introduction to Wildlife tourism

Approximately 4% of the total Indian land is forests in which 90 forests are national parks and 482 wildlife sanctuaries. According to statistics, India has 60-70% world's bio diversity.

In Indian forests you will find a variety of wildlife. From Asian Elephants to Asiatic Lion, Bengal Tiger, Sloth Bear, Indian Rhinoceros and Leopard, you will find all of them here. There are hundreds of bird species and it is one of the best places for bird watching.

Some National parks like Jim Corbett National Park (Uttaranchal), Bandhavgarh National Park and Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh, Gir National Park in Sasangir (Gujarat), Ranthambore National Park in Sawai Madhopur are rich in bird species.

History of WLT

Way back in 1973, Bandhavgarh, Ranthambore and Sariska were launched as national parks. In the year 2000, September 24th, a need arises for the departments of forest, transport, fisheries and tourism to co-ordinate their resources. But for India it still looks like a dream. Despite of chaotic management, in Dec 2004 Dec 24th, tourism saw growth due to availability of fantastic locales which were perfect to attract tourists from worldwide. In 2002, Kerala Tourism Development Corporation entered into a partnership with Indian Tourism Development Corporation development of tourism in Kerala.This included that sites for water sports, wildlife tourism, backwater holidays and mountain activities be identified. An year later in October India has more number of tourist pouring in to visit the national parks. The industry by now had started sustaining a substantial amount of people.The recent news is that Taj Hotels have entered into a treaty with Conservation Corporation Africa to promote wildlife tourism in India.

Present Situation

In India wildlife tourism industry in one of the most progressive. In 2006 talks of having policies to align wildlife in the country were in circulation. They wanted to assign this to think tanks which could help adopt the African Safari Model. By 2007, eco tourism was a properly introduced concept, which gained momentum but marketing of wildlife tourism was even then done poorly. The ways were unscientific and unsystematic. The wildlife is abundant in the country but still there are improper mans to exploit their real potential.

Countering terrorism in India - Some policy Suggestions

noreply@blogger.com (Zia) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 18:48:00 +0000

Recent events in Mumbai, the commercial capital of India, have once again highlighted India's vulnerability to terrorist attacks. What is shocking is that despite the huge security machinery that exists in the country, the terrorists are striking at will on high-profile targets. Here are some short and long-term policy measures that can be taken up by the Indian government to combat the menace.

India has a total of 15,106.70 km of land border and a coastline of 7,516.60 km. Mainland region apart, it also has a total of 1,197 islands accounting for 2,094 km of additional coastline. India has a volatile neighborhood. Countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal are beset by internal problems. The government must realize that all strategies to counter terrorism will fail unless measures are taken to stop infiltration and smuggling of narcotics (a major source of funding for the terrorist organizations) and arms & ammunition across India's porous borders. To ensure this, vigilance must be stepped-up in the border areas and fencing of borders must be completed on a priority basis. To secure India's seas, the Central Maritime Board should be constituted at the earliest to ensure greater coordination between the naval defence forces.

Terrorism, in recent times, has become an international issue. Constitution should be suitably amended to segregate terrorism from law & order. Law & order can remain a subject in the State List while terrorism should be included in the Union List. This will give more power to the union government and prevent the influence of local political leaders and other religious groups on the anti-terrorist operations and investigations that are carried out by the government agencies.

Government must strengthen its intelligence network which is critical to prevent terrorist attacks. Indian government should set up a central, joint intelligence agency on the lines of the unified armed forces command. Its role would be similar to role the CIA plays in the United States. All the intelligence inputs, gathered anywhere in India, should be routed to this central agency which can collate them and warn the concerned agencies.

A separate department, dealing specifically with anti-terrorist operations across the country, should be constituted in the Ministry of Home Affairs with units at the state level. This is necessary as terrorist modules have a long-trail stretching across several states. This trail must be destroyed completely. This move will also help in apprehending those who may not be directly involved in terrorist activities but provide shelter and funds to the members of the terrorist organizations.

A separate department should be created in the Ministry of External Affairs to deal with diplomatic aspects related to combating terrorism at international level. This department will coordinate with international agencies like Interpol and also deal with the issues like extradition & deportation of wanted terrorists, intelligence sharing, legal assistance and regional cooperation.

The police and para-military personnel should be given adequate training and be made well-equipped to deal with terrorist attacks. There have been many cases in the past when police personnel launched anti-terrorist operations and were killed as they were not wearing bullet-proof jackets. This shows that they were not properly trained to deal with the situation or lacked in terms of equipment and weaponry to take on the highly trained and motivated terrorists who were using sophisticated firearms.

There is an urgent need to have a single, all-purpose citizen identification number. The move will not only help Indian government identify illegal immigrants and repatriate them but at the same time bring greater transparency in the financial and banking transactions. This is necessary in order to monitor and curb the funding of the anti-national organizations in the country.

All cases related to terrorism must be heard on a daily basis. The speedy completion of trial and delivery of verdict will ensure that terrorist organizations have lesser scope to plan such acts in order to get their arrested members released. Once the higher judiciary of the country has convicted a person of acts of terrorism, no scope should be left for him to escape a punishment that acts as a deterrent.

Amendment should be made in the Indian constitution and the practice of presidential pardon must be done away with in the cases related to terrorism. The political and executive set-up of the country, unlike the judiciary, is more vulnerable to influence from political lobbies, vote-banks and diplomatic pressure from other countries. The move will ensure that justice is done to the victims of terrorist attacks and the convicts do not escape punishment or get it delayed by putting pressure on the establishment.

The terrorist organizations recruit the young, the unemployed and the disillusioned. All steps must be taken to obstruct this process. Once this is achieved, half of the battle against terrorism will be won. Government should undertake employment generating programs in the backward and the terrorism infested regions of the country on a large scale. At the same time, it should run media campaigns aimed at making the local populace in the terrorism infested areas aware of the real motives of the terrorist organizations. Religious leaders must be roped in to campaign against the mindless violence and the killing of innocents.

Only a sustained, long-term, well-planned and coordinated effort at all levels on the part of the government will lead to success against terrorism. India has succeeded against terrorism in the past in states like Punjab, Nagaland and Mizoram. It demonstrates that the battle against the menace can be decisively won if the country shows political will-power backed by a sound strategy.

Healthcare Services Industry in India

noreply@blogger.com (Zia) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 17:18:00 +0000

The last decade has been witness to the giant strides taken by the Indian healthcare scenario, towards modernization and development- gone are the days when those who could afford it had to travel abroad to get highly specialized services such as cardiac surgery, while others had to do without it.

Today, patients from the developed Western nations are coming to India to receive specialized medical treatment. Not only is India meeting international standards, but at prices that compare very favorably with developed countries.

In India, healthcare is delivered through both the public healthcare system and the private sector. The public healthcare system consists of healthcare facilities run by the central and state governments, which provide services free of cost or at subsidized rates to low-income families in rural and urban areas. In the private sector, healthcare facilities are owned and run by for-profit companies and non-profit or charitable organizations.

In the earlier era, the high custom duties imposed by the government on imported medical equipment was a big deterrent to set up private hospitals offering specialised medical care using state of the art equipment, usually imported from abroad. As a result, there were very few privately run large hospitals but there were many small private practitioners who provided primary and secondary care.

The low level of medical insurance was another major problem faced by the private hospitals – not having insurance meant that the patients had to pay for the treatment from their own pockets and not everyone could afford the high costs of private healthcare.

The rise in the levels of awareness has led to a surge in the medically insured nos. and now the people want nothing but the best medical care. The innovations whether in business models, in marketing & promotion or in the use of technology, have created unique experiences for patients.

Terrorism in India and the West

noreply@blogger.com (Zia) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 16:58:00 +0000

India has been a victim of terrorism much before it hit the shores of the western world. While the western world has come out with a definite strategy to combat the menace, India, unfortunately is still struggling to formulate a comprehensive strategy to defend itself against terror attacks. The varied dynamics of Indian polity has been a major obstacle towards framing a strategy to fight down terrorism.

Terrorism today is being identified with a particular religion. So it has become very difficult to eliminate the scourge altogether. In its fight against terrorism the world has failed to drive home the message that it isn't a fight against a community but against a group that has unleashed a brutal war against humanity. The failure has been cashed in on by the terrorists. With the backing of misinformed sympathizers they have managed to sustain their movement.

Like the rest of the world the failure has had an impact on the mindset of Indian Muslims, who form a sizable section of the Indian population. Instead of addressing their sense of isolation the narrow minded political parties in India have fanned their feelings of alienation. How can a country put up a united resistance against terrorism when a section of the population, is made to feel isolated? As the West does not have to grapple with any such problem it has managed to stave off terrorist attacks to a large extent.

Once political parties in India get together to help Indian Muslims overcome their feeling of isolation, the battle against terrorism would be half won.

Terrorism in India

noreply@blogger.com (Zia) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 16:56:00 +0000

When ever terrorists strike India the relations between Pakistan and India would be strained. This is due to the evidences provided by the intelligence authorities and the nabbed terrorists that these terrorists have links with Pakistan. But pakistan government denies the allegations every time. The fact is that these Islamic terrorists were trained by Pakistan's inter service intelligence authorities as confessed by one of the terrorists nabbed recently in Mumbai.

On November 26th two groups of terrorists caused wide spread devastation at about five locations in the financial capital of India. They targeted the highly crowded locations like the Mumbai railway station and three five star hotels. The affected people include citizens from various developed nations such as America, United kingdom, Germany, etc. This attack also lead to the loss of property of several crores of rupees.

According to some experts a small group of Islamic fundamentalists have been involved in this kind of extremist, militant. and terrorist activities throughout the world. Even Pakistan too faces this problem more frequently. These Islamic fundamentalists operate from different islamic countries by different names like lashkar e toiba, Jehadi, and several other islamic names. Their objective is to create commotion, kill people, etc. They also want to reduce the number of foreign tourists visiting India by showing to them through this kind of extremist acts that India is not safe. Their most important objective seems to be to prove that India is not a safe heaven for investments.

Due to such terrorists attacks the fundamental rights of citizens like right to freedom, right to speech, right to life, etc would be violated. The recent attacks in Mumbai also lead to the closure of Bombay stock exchange for a few days. According to some experts, the investments too would be affected in the long run. Many hotels lost a considerable amount of their customers due to cancellation of trips to Mumbai thus tourism too would be affected leading to the decrease in the revenues to the government and to corporate hotels. Many schools, colleges and other organisations were closed for some days. Thus the recent terror attacks disrupted normal life for several days in Mumbai. Infact, the whole country was in a state of shock as these attacks resembled 9/11 attacks in the USA.

Unfortunately, India does not have proper crisis management infrastructure. It took nearly nine and half hours for the national security guards officials to reach the affected spots to control grenade, riffle attacks. Due to lack of proper combating equipment three indian police service officers, two major generals of army besides many other security personnel lost their lives while fighting with the terrorists in the recent Mumbai attack. There are also criticisms against intelligence authorities of India for neglecting warnings from the terrorist groups. Failure of coast guards, naval intelligence, lack of political will to solve this menace, etc are cited as the most important reasons for the recent Mumbai attack.

This attack has opened the eyes of Indian government. The prime minister of India convened an all party meeting after the attack to discuss the steps to be taken to prevent such attacks in future, several politicians and officials were asked to quit, government decided to open four new security guard hubs in metropolitan cities of India, planning to start a new agency to tackle terrorism namely the federal investigation agency, security along the coastal regions of India was beefed up, upgradation of police skills and improving the crisis management infrastructure were the other major steps taken by the central government in the after math of Mumbai attacks.

It is astonishing to note that a group of terrorists with a huge cache of arms and ammunition travelled in the arabian ocean for several days but was not caught by any security officials. Besides this they could easily enter with grenades, guns, etc into five star hotels in Mumbai, India's commercial capital. India has third largest scientific man power in the world which should be utilised effectively to prevent the recurrence of such attacks. All the vital locations should have closed circuit televisions and some additional personnel should be recruited to monitor the suspicious movements both offshore and on shore.

Basic Differences Between Forex and Stock Markets

noreply@blogger.com (Zia) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 16:39:00 +0000

The word forex is a short form of the word Foreign Exchange, which is the basis of the commercial transactions which take place between two countries with their own currencies. The forex market refers to the trading that takes place within this area and is different from the stock market. Established since the '70s, this market deals not just with one business or investment but the entire gamut of trading and selling of currencies.

While both the forex and the stock markets deal with money, the biggest difference between the two is the sheer volume of money transacted on a daily basis as well the span of operations. The forex market deals with nearly 2 trillions of dollars which in comparison to any stock market is much larger. The players in the forex market are also different, where the money transactions are done between governments, international banks and financial institutions of different countries.

The amount of money which is bought, sold or traded in a forex market can quickly be turned into liquid cash, or better still, it is actually made into hard cash. The speed with which such transactions take place in a forex market can be really fast for any investor, irrespective of the country of his origin.

The other difference between a stock and a forex market is that stock markets operate in shares and businesses which belong to a specific country; forex markets on the other hand operate globally and can include any and every country of the world. Its span of operations is far wider. The market encompasses nearly every country of the world and deal with trading their individual currencies which has nothing to do with any specific business or corporation.

While stock markets operate only on business working days and may remain closed on bank holidays and weekends, the forex market has to consider the several time zones across which it operates. Hence the forex market is open 24 hours 7 days a week to accommodate all the countries. While one market opens another closes. Because of the difference in time zones, one country may close its market but another in another part of the world has opened its own. Thus the trading in a forex market happens on a non-stop basis.

The stock market of any country operates with the prevailing currency of that country. For instance, Japan will work with the yen and the US stock market will work with dollars, Indian stock market with Indian Rupees, etc. The forex market, on the other hand, works with many countries and trades in many currencies. These are the major differences between the stock and the forex markets.

It is important to know the basics of this important financial market called the forex or foreign exchange market, if you also want to participate in it with your investments.

Forex Trading in India/Indian Forex Markets - Forex Analysis

noreply@blogger.com (Zia) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 16:33:00 +0000

Since the onset of liberalization, foreign exchange markets have witnessed explosive growth in trading volume. The importance of the exchange rate to the Indian economy has also been greater than ever before. While the government has explicitly adopted a flexible exchange rate regime, in practice the rupee is one of most efficient trackers of the US dollar. Apprehensions of capital flow-driven currency crisis has held India back from capital account convertibility though the debate continues. The rupee’s deviations from Covered Interest Parity (with respect to the dollar) exhibit relatively long-lived swings. An inevitable side-effect of the Indian exchange rate policy has been the ballooning of foreign exchange reserves to well over a hundred billion dollars. In an unprecedented move, the government is considering using part of these reserves to finance infrastructure investments in the country.
