"Sunil Kewalramani predicts a sharply down year for stocks in 2016 in his book 2016 Outlook for Stocks, Oil, Bonds, Currencies, US Elections, Brexit, Real Estate, Weather and Geopolitics. Some of his predictions include: 1. The Fed will reduce, rather than raise, interest rates in 2016. 2. Gold should outperform other asset classes in a negative interest rate environment. 3. Steep decline in oil prices between 11th March and 29th June 2016 will be followed by steep rise between 29th June and 24th August 2016 and another steep decline thereafter. 4. A good downfall in stocks between April and June 2016, September 2016, November and December 2016. 5. A major drought on the one hand and unseasonal rains and storms on the other hand will badly affect agricultural crops in USA, Asia (including India) and Africa in 2016 leading to food inflation. 6. Rebound in equities in the last week of June and first half of July 2016 but a sharply negative note thereafter as Global Recession assumes center stage in 2016. 7. Terrorist attacks and Geo-political tensions will keep the governments and investors on edge till August 2016."

This book proposes a new way of thinking about the Eurozone, exploring the overlap between its economic and political interdependencies.

“Demonstrates that Western liberal ‘democracy’, portrayed as foreign to ‘Islam’, necessarily serves an imperial project. . . . timely and controversial.” —Politics, Religion & Ideology Islam is often associated with words like oppression, totalitarianism, intolerance, cruelty, misogyny, and homophobia, while its presumed antonyms are Christianity, the West, liberalism, individualism, freedom, citizenship, and democracy. In the most alarmist views, the West’s most cherished values—freedom, equality, and tolerance—are said to be endangered by Islam worldwide. Joseph Massad’s Islam in Liberalism explores what Islam has become in today’s world. He seeks to understand how anxieties about tyranny, intolerance, misogyny, and homophobia, seen in the politics of the Middle East, are projected onto Islam itself. Massad shows that through this projection Europe emerges as democratic and tolerant, feminist, and pro-LGBT rights—or, in short, Islam-free. Massad documents the Christian and liberal idea that we should missionize democracy, women’s rights, sexual rights, tolerance, equality, and even therapies to cure Muslims of their un-European, un-Christian, and illiberal ways. Along the way he sheds light on a variety of controversial topics, including the meanings of democracy—and the ideological assumption that Islam is not compatible with it while Christianity is. Islam in Liberalism is an unflinching critique of Western assumptions and of the liberalism that Europe and America present as salvation to Islam. “Essential reading for all scholars of Islam and Middle East politics.” —Cambridge Review of International Affairs “Reminds us that in order to move beyond scholarship revolving around a simplistic binarism between West and non-West, we must never forget how this opposition has shaped and continues to actively influence scholarship today.” —Los Angeles Review of Books

Guilt. From the missed opportunity of stopping to lend a hand to a fallen fellow on the road, to willfully paying in cash to avoid taxes, to being a silent spectator to the atrocities of those in authority; has your conscience come to terms with it or does the guilt still linger? Professor Siddhartha Kaul, a lecturer of Foundation Course in Model College, led a life as noble as his profession. Educating inside and outside the classroom, Siddhartha was an idealist and he was as popular among his colleagues as he was with his students. With them and his colleague Simi, he promoted education to the less unfortunate; an endeavor which began with his building’s security guard Bhanu. He had everything going for him, till one night, when based on his own suggestion, Bhanu had a run in with a bunch of law keepers. What happens when Siddhartha loses his first protégé Bhanu to his own advice? Did Bhanu deserve his fate and if not, how will Siddhartha face the guilt?

Two colleagues constantly chat about cricket, movies and women at work, much to the annoyance of The Mechanical Engineer. An astrologer has a strange visitor one evening, who is in a tearing hurry to know his Tomorrow, Today. The friendship between two housemates is disrupted by An Old Friend, who reconnects after a long time over a social networking site. An ardent Dravidfan is ridiculed by his playmates for his classical batting technique, but is determined to earn their respect. A boy narrates the story of The Lucky Day to the police who have come home to interrogate him. All this and more in 10½ Stories of Our Times. Set against the backdrop of an increasingly liberated, empowered and connected world, these hard-hitting stories bring to light the shifting paradigms of modern India, eager to break free from the warp of established conventions and traditional mindsets. The classic tales in this collection are full of drama and suspense. Peppered with humor and satire, the stories serve as a compelling commentary on the times we live in. Ten unique stories. Many interesting characters. Many shades of life… And, a half-a-story that will surely raise a few eyebrows.

This book is a theoretically and historically informed exploration of 'secularism' in Muslim contexts. It does this through a critical assessment of an influential tradition of thinking about Islam and secularism, derived from the work of anthropologist Talal Asad and his followers. The study employs the tools of comparative historical sociology and sociology of knowledge to engage with the assumptions of Asadian theory. Ultimately, Enayat argues against nativist assertions drawn from the experience of Western modernity and provides a qualified defense of secularism.
