This book evaluates the promise of human progress and secularism in
grand political narratives of the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, comparing counter-narratives of South Asia within the
context of a fast-changing twenty-first century. The book embraces
a broad range of sources and theoretical approaches that include
political philosophy, film, and ideological discourse analysis. In
the twenty-first century, global inequality and significant growth
of religious and majoritarian nationalisms have been appended with
a protracted economic slowdown and recession in many countries.
Examining what went wrong in terms of secularism and distributive
justice in India, this book critiques the Euro-American visions of
democracy, global capitalism, and their so-called universality. As
an alternative, it proposes a progressive politics of radical
democracy for the Indian people. Reconsidering alternatives to
capitalism, western secularism and the radical possibilities of
Islamism, Political Theory and South Asian Counter-Narratives will
appeal to students and scholars of political theory, international
relations, global history, and South Asian politics.

Face recognition technology analyzes the unique shape, pattern and
positioning of the facial features. Face recognition is very
complex technology and is largely software based. This Biometric
Methodology establishes the analysis framework with tailored
algorithms for each type of biometric device. Face recognition
starts with a picture, attempting to find a person in the image.
This can be accomplished using several methods including movement,
skin tones, or blurred human shapes. The face recognition system
locates the head and finally the eyes of the individual. Face
recognition technologies have been associated generally with very
costly top secure applications. Today the core technologies have
evolved and the cost of equipments is going down dramatically due
to the integration and the increasing processing power. Certain
applications of face recognition technology are now cost effective,
reliable and highly accurate. The natural use of face recognition
technology is the replacement of PIN, physical tokens or both
needed in automatic authorization or identification schemes.
Additional uses are automation of human identification or role
authentication.
Quality control is an important issue in ceramic tiles industry. On
the other hand, maintaining the rate of production with respect to
time is also a major issue in ceramic tile manufacturing. Again,
price of ceramic tiles also depends on purity of texture, accuracy
of color, shape etc. Considering this criteria, an automated defect
detection and classification technique has been proposed in this
report that can have ensured the better quality of tiles in
manufacturing process as well as production rate. Our proposed
method will play an important role in the ceramic tiles industries
to detect defect and to control the quality of ceramic tiles.
Again, this automated classification method helps us to acquire
knowledge about the pattern of the defect within a very short time
and also to decide about the recovery process so that the defected
tiles may not be mixed with fresh tiles.
Today's globalized world is more liable on high-tech novelty as
well as business. Yet, setting up of business value with technology
is the biggest challenge for mid-sized organization. For the time
being, a new sector so-called "information technology (Networks,
desktop applications, data center, different service support such
as call centers etc.)" expanded intensely due to hasty speed of
technological revolution. Conversely, difficulties in resource
specification & rareness, political unrest, technological
ambiguity and economic instability etc. have made the business
environment more intricate and competitive. Considering those
barriers and supplement issues, IT outsourcing is now a common
practice in most organization. Again, IT outsourcing often goes
wrong due to lack of analysis about possible appropriateness of few
economic theories into IT outsourcing decision process. This paper
work strongly focuses on the key reasons behind IT outsourcing,
common goals and objectives as well.This also explores diverse
issues that trigger outsourcing decisions and critical success
factors of selecting vendors. As a whole, it may be an effective
handout for novice managers of SMEs.
This book deals with the problems of Muslim minorities in
contemporary India. This book suggests that there are three
principal reasons for a neglect of the socio-economic aspects of
Indian Muslims during the period of neoliberal economic reforms.
First, the problems of Muslims are inadequately understood by the
governmental agencies and the political leadership. As a result,
the state either ignores the real issues of the Muslims or tries to
resolve them through a piecemeal approach. Secondly, the lack of a
progressive leadership among the Indian Muslims has traditionally
confined the problems of the community to the issues of identity
and security instead of the demands for equity. Thirdly, popular
Hindi cinema has misrepresented the identity of Indian Muslims by
age-old stereotypes, demonisation and vilification without showing
the actual problems of the Muslim minorities. As a result, the
wrong notions, misconception, and myths regarding Muslims only
proliferate and permeate among large sections of the Indian
population while the structural problems of the Muslims hardly get
attention for remedy. Finally, without being trapped in the Muslim
question, this book has proposed three routes of radical democratic
politics along with visions for a post-neoliberal order of
reimagining India in the 21st century.
