A Subaltern history of the Indian diaspora in Singapore :
gradual disappearance of untouchability 1872-1965 / John
Solomon.-- London: Routledge, 2016.
xiii, 220p. ; 24cm.
ISBN : 9781138955899.
305.891405957 SOL 144928
This book takes the "disappearance" as a starting point
to examine a history of untouchable migration amongst
Indians who arrived in Singapore from its modern founding
as a British colony in the early nineteenth century
through to its independence in 1965. It examines the
lives of untouchable migrants through their everyday
experience in an overseas multi-ethnic environment. It
examines how these migrants who in many ways occupied the
bottom rungs of their communities and colonial society,
framed transnational issues of identity and social
justice in relation to their experiences within the
broader Indian diaspora in Singapore. The book trances
the manner in which untouchable identities evolved and
then receded in response to the dramatic social changes
brought about by colonialism, war and post-colonial
nationhood.

7 Das, S K
Making the poor free? : India-s unique identification
number / S K Das.-- New Delhi: Oxford University Press,
2015.
xx, 330p. , 23cm.
ISBN : 9780199453290.
323.0954 DAS 144922
The aim of the book is to understand how India-s Unique
Identification Number (Aadhaar) will make the poor free.
Although Aadhaar-s contribution to food security,
employment generation, education, and public health is
rather modest, it does create a platform for the
financial inclusion of the poor. Through this platform,
Aadhaar brings to the poor government subsidies directly
in cash, and thus gives them the wherewithal for being
consumers for the market. Through its focus on the
process dimensions, the book succeeds in providing a
stronger understanding of public policy processes in the
Indian context.

formulated it himself - the - vernacular type-.

This book describes the latest astonishing discoveries
being made at the scientific frontier where genomics and
the social sciences intersect. It reveals that there are
real genetic differences by racial ancestry--but ones
that don-t conform to what we call black, white, or
Latino. The book shows how genomics is transforming the
social sciences--and how social scientists are
integrating both nature and nurture into a unified,
comprehensive understanding of human behavior at both the
individual and society-wide levels.

The Disruption dilemma / Joshua Gans.-- Cambridge: The
MIT Press, 2016.
ix, 166p. , 24cm.
ISBN : 9780262034487.
658.4056 GAN 144906
In this book, the author cuts through the chatter to
focus on disruption in its initial use as a business
term, identifying new ways to understand it and
suggesting new tools to manage it. He looks at companies
that have proven resilient and those that have fallen,
and explains why some companies have successfully managed
disruption-Fujifilm and Canon, for example-and why some
like Blockbuster and Encyclopedia Britannica have not.
The author identifies two kinds of disruption: demand-
side, when successful firms focus on their main customers
and underestimate market entrants with innovations that
target niche demands, and supply-side, when firms focused
on developing existing competencies become incapable of
developing new ones. He shows business leaders how to
choose their strategy so their firms can deal with
disruption while continuing to innovate.

Why do some companies have better corporate reputations
than others? And why do some companies that are not seen
as particularly socially responsible have a good
reputation? This book explains why both these phenomenon
occur. In essence, the companies that win the reputation
game are those that are seen by their key stakeholders as
being -best at something- and/or -best for somebody-.
