It is a little known fact that Delhi ranks high among Indian cities for its thriving bird population, with more than 400 species, at least one-third of the country's total. What is even less known is that the IIC gardens account for as many as 83 birds species out of the 400 found in Delhi!

Proud inheritors of historic legacies, India and West Asia have been friends and neighbours since the dawn of civilisation. With the advent of Islam Arab-Indian contacts were further strengthened. It was the Arabs who attempted the first written history of India, drew its maps, and spread Indian science and medicine across the world. Both the regions also share the common experience of oppression and exploitation under colonialism. Today, the issues of distributive justice, gender and human rights, civil society, environment and education have become the common concerns. In this volume prominent Indian and West Asian scholars, academics and policy makers reflect on these issues, and search for solutions that transcend divisive mindsets. |

India and Singapore have enjoyed close relations in the historical past. In recent decades many factors have stood in the way of cooperation between the two countries. Meaningful interactions started evolving after the end of the Cold War, when the compulsions to view mutual relations through the prism of superpower preferences withered away. The growing relationship has been spurred by diplomacy, domestic imperatives and changing perceptions (in the case of India) of economic nationalism. Singapore, which has achieved sustained growth, has also begun to see the need to create synergies with India and enlarge mutually beneficial economic relations. An interesting survey of how experts and academics see these emerging synergies between the two countries. |

Title: India and East Asia: Culture and Society The millennial Asian Civilisations neither believe that history ends nor that future life is pre-disposed towards 'clashes of civilisations'. As more and more Asians lift their lives from levels of survival, they acquire the economic freedom to think, reflect and rediscover their cultural heritage. There is a growing consciousness that their societies, like those in the West, have a rich social, cultural and philosophical legacy that they can resuscitate and use to evolve their own modernising societies. This volume brings together discussions on these themes between Indian and East Asian scholars, who share cultural affinities and certain Asian values.

The future peace and prosperity of South Asia hinges on various factors, like a deepening of the process of democratic participation, the spread of the development process to all socio-economic strata, and accelerated regional cooperation bonded to peace. The papers in this volume by leading scholars and activists give penetrating insights into the options available, the obstacles that stand in the way, and the strengths on which South Asia can collectively build a viable strategy to tackle some of its endemic and long-standing problems. Culture, democracy and development provide the modern paradigm while the region's durable age-old cultural, social and historical traditions provide the foundation for a viable solution to the problems. |

Title: Religion, Politics and Society in South and Southeast Asia The end of the Cold War brought changes in the international scenario. However, tensions generated by the cross-currents of conflicting interests continue to affect the lives of people all over the world. This ferment is more intense in the Asian countries which, after attainment of freedom, are struggling to establish their national identities. There have been extensive discussions on politics, security, and economy, and their influence on the evolution of societal and inter-state relations. Not enough attention has been devoted to the study of cross-cultural and civilisational factors and their impact on national policies and, in turn, on the relations between countries. This volume is a useful resourcebook for understanding the issues at stake. |

The India International Centre's annual seminar, ‘Mid-Year Review of the Indian Economy’, is strategically timed to provide a critical analysis of trends in the fiscal year under study, before budget preparations for the following year get underway. The series was initiated in the early eighties by the Economic Affairs Group of the Centre under the guidance of late Professor Malcolm S. Adiseshiah. Professor Adiseshiah prepared the review himself year-after-year for over fifteen years, before entrusting this task to others in the last three years immediately prior to his passing on in 1994. The review was regarded by him as a kind of non-governmental, alternative economic survey which he hoped would be found useful by the government in the preparation of its own more massive Economic Survey and the formulation of its budgetary and other economic policies. Since 2003 the Chennai-based Malcolm and Elizabeth Adiseshiah Trust (MEAT) is supporting this initiative of the Centre. An eminent economist is invited every year to make an assessment of the Indian economy mid-year in the course of a seminar. The publication emerging from the seminar is co-published by the Centre with an external publisher. Since the year 2000, the mid-year review is being co-published with Shipra Publications.
