Reservation For Other Backward Classes In Indian Central Government Institutions Like Iits Iims And Aiims A Study Of The Role Of Media Fuzzy Super Frm Models

Print and television in India came under fire in the year 2006 when they adopted a biased attitude against the state policy of affirmative action that made provisions to admit students of the downtrodden communities into central government-run institutes of higher education. The media, forgot the ethics of being balanced, attacked this policy of positive discrimination and gave intense coverage to every anti-reservation protest that took place in India. In a way, the national media led the struggle against social justice. Here we use Fuzzy Super FRM Models to analyze the role of the news media in covering the issue of reservation for Other Backward Classes in Indian central government institutions like IITs, IIMs and AIIMS.

This is the first volume of the Encyclopedia of Neutrosophic Researchers, edited from materials offered by the authors who responded to the editor’s invitation. The 78 authors are listed alphabetically. The introduction contains a short history of neutrosophics, together with links to the main papers and books. Neutrosophic set, neutrosophic logic, neutrosophic probability, neutrosophic statistics, neutrosophic measure, neutrosophic precalculus, neutrosophic calculus and so on are gaining significant attention in solving many real life problems that involve uncertainty, impreciseness, vagueness, incompleteness, inconsistent, and indeterminacy. In the past years the fields of neutrosophics have been extended and applied in various fields, such as: artificial intelligence, data mining, soft computing, decision making in incomplete / indeterminate / inconsistent information systems, image processing, computational modelling, robotics, medical diagnosis, biomedical engineering, investment problems, economic forecasting, social science, humanistic and practical achievements.

How the language of “merit” makes caste privilege invisible in contemporary India. Just as Americans least disadvantaged by racism are most likely to endorse their country as post‐racial, Indians who have benefited from their upper-caste affiliation rush to declare their country post‐caste. In The Caste of Merit, Ajantha Subramanian challenges this comfortable assumption by illuminating the controversial relationships among technical education, caste formation, and economic stratification in modern India. Through in-depth study of the elite Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs)—widely seen as symbols of national promise—she reveals the continued workings of upper-caste privilege within the most modern institutions. Caste has not disappeared in India but instead acquired a disturbing invisibility—at least when it comes to the privileged. Only the lower castes invoke their affiliation in the political arena, to claim resources from the state. The upper castes discard such claims as backward, embarrassing, and unfair to those who have earned their position through hard work and talent. Focusing on a long history of debates surrounding access to engineering education, Subramanian argues that such defenses of merit are themselves expressions of caste privilege. The case of the IITs shows how this ideal of meritocracy serves the reproduction of inequality, ensuring that social stratification remains endemic to contemporary democracies.

A first-time analysis of India's demographic transition from the point of view of the youth, and why it has not meant more jobs and better jobs for the youth of India.

The plithogenic set is a generalization of crisp, fuzzy, intuitionistic fuzzy, and Neutrosophic sets, it is a set whose elements are characterized by many attributes' values. This book gives some possible applications of plithogenic sets defined by Florentin Smarandache (2018). The authors have defined a new class of special type of graphs which can be applied for plithogenic models.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Big Data analytics, BDA 2019, held in Ahmedabad, India, in December 2019. The 25 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections named: big data analytics: vision and perspectives; search and information extraction; predictive analytics in medical and agricultural domains; graph analytics; pattern mining; and machine learning.
