Book Review - Reviewing S. Prakash Sinha, What Is Law? (1989)
No full textBook Review Extract:
The title of S.P. Sinha\u27s book, What Is Law?, is somewhat deceptive, for the author ambitiously tries to do more than merely define the concept of law in well under 300 pages. After the introductory historical and philosophical overview of his initial chapter, Sinha uses the balance of his book to summarize the major theories of law, including how law arises, how it is applied, and why it is important in society. The work is less of an original attempt by its writer to answer the question posed by the title than it is an effort to seek such an answer by means of surveying- albeit briefly in each instance -the views of the major thinkers in this field

No full textThe India-UK Water Centre (IUKWC) promotes cooperation and collaboration between the complementary priorities of NERC-MoES water security research.
This report presents an overview of the joint India-UK scientific Grassroots Field Exposure Initiative held in Bhopal from 25th-27th February, 2019. The event was convened by the IndiaUK Water Centre co-coordinators Dr A.K. Sahai (Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, India) and Dr Harry Dixon (Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Wallingford, UK). The initiative was organised by IUKWC Secretariat in collaboration Dr Pankaj Kumar (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Bhopal, India), Dr Alexandre Gagnon (Liverpool John Moores University, UK) and Dr Sumit Sinha (University of Leeds, UK). The event aimed to gain a closer perspective of the management of water at ground level, its associated issues and the use – and need for - scientific outputs by end users in central India. To tackle the multi-faceted and intertwined nature of the various water related issues in the region the focus of the event was sub-divided into three major sectors for easy and efficient analysis of regional water balance: Agriculture & water resource; Domestic energy & water resource; Energy and industrial water resource.
The event was multi-sectoral with focus on water supply and resource management for Agriculture, domestic and energy sectors. This was the field based interactive approach to discuss and understand the grass-root level status quo by scientists from both India & UK. Scientist interacted with the end users and tried to understand their techniques and traditional knowledge and discussed about various socio-economic aspects of the local water user scenario.

Madalena e Sinha Vitória: contrastes entre duas personagens de Graciliano Ramos
No full textRESUMO: este artigo apresenta um breve panorama da vida de Graciliano Ramos, como também, algumas características de sua escrita. De suas obras focamos aspectos gerais dos romances São Bernardo e Vidas Secas. O objetivo principal é analisar as personagens Madalena, do romance São Bernardo, e sinha Vitória, da obra Vidas Secas, e evidenciar os contrastes entre as personagens de Graciliano Ramos. Madalena e sinha Vitória são constituídas de um humanismo e generosidade. A primeira é apresentada como mulher culta, inteligente, humanista, que reflete sobre diversos problemas. Já a segunda possui um sonho que a impulsiona seguir em frente, em busca de uma realidade melhor. Sinha Vitória também é o ser mais pensante daquele grupo de retirantes. Para isso, a pesquisa interpretativa teve como base os dados apresentados pelos estudos de Calheiros (2006), Magalhães (2001), Santos (2009), entre os autores que discorrem sobre o referido autor e suas obras. Temos a pretensão de enfatizar a situação e o papel da mulher nordestina, e revelar seu valor no contexto social de cada obra. Este trabalho irá expor a importância da mulher nordestina, sua força, coragem e determinação ao enfrentar as dificuldades presentes no sertão nordestino. Constatou-se que são mulheres distintas e que ambas as personagens são fortes. Madalena é silenciada para não perder sua autenticidade, enquanto, sinha Vitória cala-se em respeito à sociedade patriarcal que não admite que as mulheres tenham voz ativa.PALAVRAS CHAVE: Madalena. Sinha Vitória. Graciliano Ramos. ABSTRACT: This article presents a brief overview above Graciliano Ramos’ life, as well as some of his writing characteristics. From his works we focused on the São Bernardo and Vidas Secas novels’ general aspects. The main objective is to analyze how characters Madalena, from the São Bernardo novel, and sinha Vitória, from work Vidas Secas, and highlight the contrasts between the characters by Graciliano Ramos. Madalena and sinha Vitória are made up of humanism and generosity. The first one is presented as a cultured, intelligent, humanist woman, she reflects about various problems. Already the second has a dream that drives her to move forward in search of a better reality. Sinha Vitoria is also the most thoughtful of the retired group. For that, interpretive research was based on data submitted by Calheiros (2006), Magellan (2001), Santos (2009) studies, among the authors who white about the author and his works. We intend to emphasize the situation and the role of northeastern women, and reveal their value in the social context of each work. This work will expose the importance of northeastern women, their strength, courage and determination in facing the difficulties present in the northeastern backlands. It has been found that they are distinct women and that both characters are strong. Madalena is silenced so as not to lose her authenticity, while, sinha Vitoria is silent in respect to the patriarchal society that does not admit that women have an active voice.KEYWORDS: Madalena. Sinha Vitória. Graciliano Ramos.

Essays on theories of value in the classical tradition
No full text“This volume revisits the foundations of classical political economy and outlines on that basis a new research paradigm. Ajit Sinha presents an extremely ambitious and challenging work that opens new and invaluable vistas on classical economic theory and economics at large.”
Roberto Scazzieri, Professor of Economic Analysis, University of Bologna and National Lincei Academy, Italy.
“For a quarter of a century Ajit Sinha has worked on the classical theory of value, reinterpreting Adam Smith, David Ricardo and Karl Marx in terms of his own original, and often contested, interpretation of Piero Sraffa. This fascinating volume brings together several of Sinha's most perceptive and most contentious papers. Always scholarly, stimulating and provocative, it is essential reading for anyone with an interest in classical value theory.”
John King, Emeritus Professor, La Trobe University, Australia.
This collection of essays invites the reader to trace the intellectual journey of the author from his early incisive exploration and critique of key categories in Marxian economics, through his insights into classical economic theory, culminating in his pioneering and definitive reading of the economics of Sraffa. Where the author’s position has significantly changed he provides notations and explanations, and the addition of two new chapters written especially for this volume complete the scholarly journey. Following three decades worth of study, this book brings together a set of important contributions that not only give historical perspective but makes them convenient and accessible for students and researchers today
