This volume of essays succeeds in looking into the dynamic interconnection of class, caste and gender in the Indian political process. The focus is on the interconnection; i.e. relationships involving more than one category, while at the same time trying to understand each category by itself. The complex issues of class, caste and gender have been studied through a collection of essays, which look into the peoples' struggle for social equality. Social oppression has been analyzed in the context of protests against exploitation and anti-caste movements and women's movements have been studied in much detail. This important book will contribute immensely in the understanding of the contemporary Indian political process.

The world we live in today is characterized by social and human disconnectedness even as we celebrate the relentless onward march of the marvels of technoconnectivity. It is in this context that this book attempts to examine industrial relations in a liberalizing, deregulated, globalizing environment through the prism of the "connectedness" frame of reference. The basic thrust of this approach is that industrial relations needs to be reexamined from the perspective of "connectedness" and that this approach has the potency to restore meaning to the study as well as practice of industrial relations.   Examining the current scenario in industrial relations the book discusses some critical issues such as: § human and social connectedness, which enrich communities and workplaces is decreasing in today's organizational set-up § the "connectedness" frame of reference can provide organizations with the conceptual tool to give direction to human resources development.  § whatever the size of the organization, organizational brand equity also gets determined by employee perceptions and sentiment about the organization.  This unusual book is a departure from the usual theory and perspective available on the subject. The books points to some important factors that are influencing industrial relations today and makes valuable suggestions for the state of things to come. It's  thoughtful and insightful interpretation of the current situation will be invaluable to students, academicians, researchers and senior management in business.

<p>This text offers a critique of traditional interviewing practices and provides a framework for thinking about issues such as trustworthiness, identity, and language in a conceptual rather than technical context, allowing you to develop your own reflexive practice. The research interview is in with the brick and mortar of qualitative research, and is one of the routine methods of obtaining knowledge of individuals, groups, and organizations. Through the use of eight original metaphors drawing on trends in language, subject, and discourse, this cutting-edge text will encourage you to question the interpretive nature and theoretical underpinnings not only of your interview method, but of the knowledge which is conveyed through it.<br><br></p>
