In recent years, a significant number of empirical studies have examined the relationship between export and economic growth in India. However, this study analyses the relationship between exports and economic growth through the time series model. The main aim of this study is to investigate the causal relationship between exports and economic growth in India. The VAR model was used for the period 1961 to 2015 after verifying the stationarity of the variables through using Augmented Dickey-Fuller and Phillip-Perron tests. The Indian export sector has been found to have a significant and positive impact on economic growth and other long-term economic activities. The study also employed the Granger causality test to check the direction of causality and found that RXGS, RGDP, RPFC, and RGFC had a unidirectional relationship and RXGS and RMGS had a bidirectional relationship in long run. Also, the findings of this study suggest that a steady-state between exports and economic growth can be achieved in India over a long period. The overall outcome of this study provides a testimony of the fact that the export sector plays a vital role in economic growth in India and also leads to the long-term growth of other economic activities.

The study evaluates India's technological advancement, which has created a range of opportunities for consumers to enter into digital payment space. Demonetization in India has forced all consumers and companies to embrace and create cashless digital payment platforms. The cashless economy scenario involves various factors for its adoption such as reach, availability and awareness. This study considers factors responsible for adopting new digital payment technologies in India's different regions across various consumers. The study includes descriptive statistics and variance analysis (ANOVA) to identify elements to achieve maximum satisfaction. The research collects data from 250 respondents living in India, experiencing digital payments and online transactions. The data is collected through a structured questionnaire and critically analyzed using statistical analysis. The data has been analyzed with no sectorial biases and tracked by creating real-time indications. The study uses various hypotheses after taking responses from a sample of respondents. Cronbach's Alpha analysis is also used to determine the validity and reliability of the data. The study illustrates the complete shift of consumer behavior from cash to a cashless economy. A certain number of factors are shown to directly influence the rate of such a shift toward digital transactions in India.

The goal of this study is to understand how financial inclusion (FI) as influenced by Internet subscribers in India, affects India's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). This study makes use of secondary data that was collected from 16 Indian states and one Union Territory between the fiscal years of 2018 and 2020. The goal of this study has been investigated using panel data regression analysis (PDR). And the study's findings indicate that wages received through MNREGA accounts and post office operating accounts under the supervision of Internet subscribers have a significant negative impact on India's SDGs, demonstrating how financial inclusion is harming the country's efforts to achieve sustainable development. This study suggests that it is important to pay attention to rural areas' access to the digital environment and their degree of digital literacy. These findings imply that improving the MGNREGA program and employees' pay might help the government alleviate poverty in India. Financial inclusion also depends heavily on financial literacy. The government should improve its digital infrastructure in rural and urban areas so that people there may better understand and utilize it given that it promotes financial inclusion, digitalization, economic advancement, rural development, and poverty reduction.

The purpose of this paper is to critique British imperialism in Bapsi Sidhwa's Cracking India (1991) by analyzing the partition of India from the perspective of nation, religion, and women. Dubbed "Punjabi-Parsi-Indian-Pakistani," Sidhwa is in a position where she can view the partition from an objective and neutralized stance. Rather than focusing on the lives of nationally well-known political figures such as Gandhi, Nehru, or Jinnah, Sidhwa delves deep into the miserable lives of the lower classes before and after the partition. First, I analyze the process of the partition, as it is performed through the manipulation of British imperialism. By adopting the viewpoint of an 8-year-old Lenny, who is the daughter of a Parsi family, Sidhwa is able to critique both British imperialism as well as the male-dominated Indian society where the treatment of women is unthinkably harsh. Second, I focus on the tragedy of the confrontation of three religions, Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh. Religious people fight each other while they were forced to move from South to North or from North to South. I argue that the religious conflicts have much to do with political issues. Third, I want to argue that women are the major victims of the partition. Ayah, Hamida, and Papoo are victims of male-dominated India during the partition. They symbolize the feminized India, which is exploited and victimized by British Imperialism. Even though Ayah is shattered by Ice-candy-man while working as a prostitute and dancer, she decides to return to her home in India, which shows her challenge against male-dominated India as well as against British colonialism. In conclusion, Sidhwa tries to heal the suffering of the Indian women who fell victim to male-dominated Indian society by criticizing the problems of British imperialism. In addition, by dealing with the lives of silenced people, Sidhwa asks readers not to forget the historical tragedy and not to repeat the tragedy again.

본 연구에서는 먼저 인도 경제의 발전 과정 및 전망에서는 광대한 토지와 인구를 가지고 있어 중국에 버금가는 경제 잠재력에도 불구하고 아직은 각종 법제도적 규제와 사회문화적 한계로 잠재력을 발휘하지 못하고 있다. 그러나 1991년 New Industry Policy 이후 각종 규제를 철폐하는 등 외국인 직접 투자를 개방하고 있다. 이애 따라 골드만삭스는 인도 경제는 2012년 중국을 추월하고, 2032년에는 일본을 앞질러 중국, 미국에 이어 3위의 경제 대국이 될 것으로 전망하고 있다. 한편 한국은 현재 인도가 16위의 교역 상대국에 머물러 있으나, 1990년대 후반 이후 대우, 헌대 자동차와 엘지, 삼성전자 등의 대기업을 선두로 하여 인도 진출을 가속화하고 있어 인도와의 경제교역 비중이 높아질 전망으로 있다. 제3장에서는 인도의 투자 환경을 좀 더 구체적인 진출 사례를 중심으로 분석하였으며, 이를 토대로 하여 제4장에서는 한국 기업이 인도 진출시 극복하여야 할 제약 요소와 그 대응 전략을 도출하였다. 먼저 정부차원의 대응 전략으로는 인도 진출과 관련된 시장 정보와 지원을 체계적으로 담당할 전문기구의 설립 필요성과 인도에 대한 정확한 분석을 할 수 있는 전문가의 육성을 지적하였다. 이어서 우리나라도 일본인 정착촌과 같은 인도내 중소기업 전용 공단의 설립을 검토할 필요가 있으며, 현재 추진 중에 있는 한 인 CEPA를 조속히 타결시켜야 한다는 점을 주장하였다. 기업차원에서는 초기에는 직접수출 방식으로 진출하였다가 점차 직접투자 방식으로 전환해 나가야 하며, 단독 진출 투자보다는 대기업을 중심으로 한 클러스트형 진출 방식을 제시하였다. 그리고 철저한 현지화를 위해 현지인의 소비 성향이나 문화 등을 철저하게 이해하는 것이 중요한 성공요소이며, 지역별로 투자 환경이 다르므로 입지 선정에 신중을 기할 것을 지적하였다. 중국에 대한 현지 투자에 한계를 느끼고 있는 우리에게 인도는 또 하나의 기회를 제공해주고 있다. 그러나 아직은 많은 투자 제약 요소가 존재한다. 따라서 인도 진출시에는 정확한 정보 분석과 신중한 접근이 요구된다. 본 논문이 인도 진출을 계획하고 있는 기업에게 도움이 되기를 기대한다.

본고는 국내 1,000개 중소기업에 대한 설문조사 자료를 바탕으로 한-인도 CEPA에 대한 관심도, 그 영향, 대인도 진출 가능성 등에 대한 국내 중소기업들의 인식도를 로짓 모형을 사용하여 분석해 보았다. 분석결과 국내 중소기업들은 근로자 수가 많을수록, 그리고 매출규모가 작을수록 한-인도 CEPA에 대하여 관심을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 대인도 사업을 하고 있는 기업들이 대인도 사업을 하고 있지 않는 기업들보다 더 높은 관심을 보이면서 한-인도 CEPA 체결의 긍정적인 영향을 기대하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 대인도 사업을 하고 있는 기업들은 한-인도 CEPA의 발효에도 불구하고 향후 대인도 사업을 확대해 나갈 의사가 상대적으로 적은 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 한-인도 CEPA 체결이 기업경영에 실질적인 영향을 미칠 가능성이 높지 않다고 국내 중소기업들은 평가하고 있기 때문인 것으로 분석된다. 따라서 국내 기업들의 CEPA에 대한 인식을 긍정적으로 바꾸고 한-인도 CEPA의 영향을 극대화하기 위해서는 정책 당국의 적극적인 정책적, 제도적 지원이 뒤따라야 할 것으로 보인다. 이를 위한 방법으로는 한-인도 CEPA에 대한 적극적 홍보, 국내 기업들에게 인도에 대한 정보 제공, 한-인도 양국 간 협력체제 구축을 통한 무역장벽 제거 노력 등을 들 수 있다.

소프트 파워는 국제 교류 및 지역 협력에서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 방글라데시 중국 인도 미얀마 지역은 지리적으로 보면 서로 인접되어 있으며 역사적으로 왕래가 빈번한다. 2013년 중 인 양국이 방글라데시 중국 인도 미얀마 경제회랑 건설을 제의한 후에, 방글라데시와 미얀마가 이 제안에 적극적으로 호응하면서 4국 간의 교류는 더욱 밀접해진다. 방 중 인 미 경제회랑 지역은 중국 서남과 방글라데시 인도 미얀마를 연결하는 중요한 통로 될 것이고, 이를 통해 관련지역의 문화교류도 많아질 것이다. 하지만 4국 간에는 문화교류는 중국과 인도의 소프트 파워에 의해 불균형한 상태로 보인다. 중국 인도는 방글라데시 미얀마에 대해 문화 제품이 더 많이 수출하고 있고, 이는 많은 분야에서 방글라데시와 미얀마에게 영향을 주고 있다. 향후에 이 경제회랑은 문화교류 및 협력 가속화하는 배경 하에, 지속 가능한 발전 체제를 구축해 나가야하며, 이를 통해 4국의 소프트 파워 영향력을 균형화시켜서 지역문화의 백화제방(百花齊放)를 달성할 것이다.

Intestinal parasitic infections are one of the major causes of diarrhea in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive individuals. Antiretroviral therapy has markedly reduced the incidence of many opportunistic infections, but parasite-related diarrhea still remains frequent and often underestimated especially in developing countries. The present hospital-based study was conducted to determine the spectrum of intestinal parasitosis in adult HIV/AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) patients with or without diarrhea with the levels of $CD4^+$ T-cell counts. A total of 400 individuals were enrolled and were screened for intestinal parasitosis. Of these study population, 200 were HIV seropositives, and the remaining 200 were HIV uninfected individuals with or without diarrhea. Intestinal parasites were identified by using microscopy as well as PCR assay. A total of 130 (32.5%) out of 400 patients were positive for any kinds of intestinal parasites. The cumulative number of parasite positive patients was 152 due to multiple infections. A significant association of Cryptosporidium (P<0.001) was detected among individuals with $CD4^+$ T-cell counts less than $200cells/{\mu}l$.

Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to assess the greening of investment flows as well as the orientation of financial sources of effective environmental protection. Both India and Vietnam are considered to be two Asian countries that are radically affected by global climate change. Governments of the two countries have implimented numerous measures against environmental pollution through the banking and finance sector. Developing green banking operations in India and Vietnam is a new direction in the socio-economic development strategy coupled with effective environmental protection. Research design, data and methodology: The data was mainly based on Asia Development Bank Institution (ADBI) and Bank of India (BOI) from 2015 - 2018. This paper focused on comparing and evaluating the development of green banks between the two countries. Result: The banks' contribution to green growth and green economy is shown in two basic aspects: (i) the connection between organizations, and individuals, and management process for investment projects, including environmental risks; and (ii) the operation of banks has a direct impact on the environment, through the application of technology to pay documents and apply e-banking. Conclusion: Paper reflects, compares and evaluates green banking operations in India and Vietnam to provide new directions aiming to develop financial and economic system along with effective and efficient step toward climate change control. India's green banking operations, after a specific assessment, will be lessons for the Government of Vietnam during the process of socio-economic development and environmental protection.
