Abstract
The author examines India's opposition to the war in Iraq in light of its pro-Arab foreign policy. As the author states, while many within the Indian political circles have criticized India's unwavering pro-Arab foreign policy and have observed that India could have acquired invaluable economic and political gains had it cooperated with the United States' current Middle Eastern foreign policy and offered, at the minimum, unenthusiastic support for the current war instead of outright criticism. It explains that India could not have done so, as such an action would have implied Indian negation of its post-colonial history on the one hand and the sentiments of its Muslim population on the other. Consequently, opposition to the current war is best understood through a historical analysis of Indian-Arab foreign policy; it was predetermined by the country's ideology, political history and ethnic composition.
From the Paper
"India, according to foreign policy analysts and international relations scholars, has pursued a consistent pro-Arab foreign policy over the past fifty years and more. Numerous explanations have been forwarded for India's unwavering pro-Arab foreign policy stance, ranging from reference to cultural and historical affinity to others which primarily focus on pragmatic economic calculations. It is, as this part of the research paper shall try to argue, a combination of multiple factors. In other words, it is impossible to ascribe India's pro-Arab foreign policy to any one factor as it is the outcome of multiple considerations. It is largely due to these considerations that India's stand against the present Iraq war and its unequivocal refusal to contribute to the war effort with a minor contingent of peacekeepers was predicted by numerous students of Indian foreign policy and international relations, even prior to India's official announcement of its position."

From the Paper
" INTRODUCTION
American Indian life has been based on endurance, on the ability to survive and adapt. At one time, the Native American population was much larger than it is today and ruled the entire continent. The coming of Europeans also meant the beginning of a policy of extermination, a genocidal war against a people because they had a different worldview, a different religion, and were in possession of vast tracts of land whose resources the Europeans wanted to exploit. There was a fundamental difference between the way Europeans viewed the world and its relationship to the human community and the way Native Americans viewed these issues. Europeans believed God had given them dominion over nature, while Native Americans believed that humanity had links to the chain of being of living nature and were part of it instead of.."

Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World., 2008.

Abstract
The paper discusses that the term 'Indian giver' has come to be a synonym for someone who gives something, only to take it back. The paper further explains that it was the Indians who were forced to give to the Europeans--their knowledge about farming and fishing in the Americas and ultimately their land. The paper discusses that in Jack Weatherford's book, "Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World," the exchange between Europeans and Native Americans was an unequal one, with Europeans taking of the positive benefits of the New World, while the Indians were doing all of the giving. The paper concludes that unwittingly, the Indians found themselves the recipient of the evils of European civilization, like slavery, and a disrespectful attitude to the land.
From the Paper
"According to Weatherford, the early post-Columbian contact of the Europeans with the native populace actually enabled the Industrial Revolution to change Europe, and ultimately the world. "Had Europe and America not come together through Columbus or some other connection, the industrial revolution would never have happened in the way we know it," because Europeans would never have gained access to the metals of the New World, or to Indian mines (Weatherford 57). This contact also generated the money economy of Europe and fueled a shift to a European economy based upon real, hard, convertible currency. Metal-based currency also was critical in fueling industrialism and world trade. By beginning the book with tales of South American encounters with Europe, which were particularly brutal and unequal from the beginning of the Indian-European relationship, Weatherford initiates a tragic tone, explaining how enslaved South American Indians mining gold and silver in Potosi supplied the precious metals for most of the European coins that generated wealth for the Old World at the expense of the liberty of the New World."

From the Paper
"Explaining the nature of fraud, de Grey, C.J. stated that though a judgment would be res judicata and not impeachable from within, it might be impeachable from without. In other words, though it is not permissible to show that the court was "mistaken", it might be shown that it was "misled". There is an essential distinction between mistake and trickery. The clear implication of the distinction is that an action to set aside a judgment cannot be brought on the ground that it has been wrongly decided, namely, that on the merits, the decision was one which should not have been rendered, but it can be set aside if the court was imposed upon or tricked into giving the judgment."

India in the 1990s, 2002.

Abstract
This paper will focus on the revolution in Indian foreign trade that has occurred in the 1990s. The actual elements of the policy will be enumerated and outlined. Subsequently, their wider impacts on the Indian economy will be explored. Most importantly, recent setbacks will be considered. Arguably, the most important question relates to whether these recent setbacks reflect temporary political circumstances or structural problems with the Indian economy. Globalization has become the dominant economic paradigm. The question is whether or not India is able to benefit from that trend and what it must do to maximise its benefit.

Abstract
The paper explains that Jack Weatherford began to examine the history of the Native American as he discovered that many agricultural products would not have been produced in farming without the knowledge that Indians gave those in the new world. The paper describes how Weatherford further stipulates that it is through these advances in agriculture that the United States has remained a strong contender in the global market ,and that without the influences of the Native Americans on the early settlers those new to America would not have survived. The paper analyzes how, through his work, "Indian Givers: How Indians of the Americas Transformed the World", Volume I, Weatherford brings an insight to a people that most individuals have been negligent in understanding. The paper concludes that it is Weatherford's purpose to demonstrate that Native Americans have been a misrepresented and forgotten people when the history of North America is discussed.

China Market-Foreign Exchange Rate, 2006.
A look at how China uses its foreign exchange rate to make it difficult for foreign goods and imports to penetrate the Chinese market while simultaneously encouraging foreign investment.

Abstract
This research examines the supposition that China utilizes its foreign exchange rate to erect an effective barrier to foreign imports of goods and services while it encourages foreign direct investment. The strategy China employs to expand its export market and minimize its import market is simple but effective and not as blatantly antagonistic as an outright tariff on imports or imposition of quotas on imported goods.

Indian Oil Corporation, Ltd., 2006.
This paper is an analytical review of the financial results for the year ending March 31, 2005 and its financial position, as of that date, for the Indian Oil Corporation, Ltd. (IOC) in India.

Abstract
This paper explains that Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOC) is the flag-ship national oil company of India, which sells cooking gas, petrol and diesel through retail stations and aviation fuel, and includes a subsidiary, IBP Co. Ltd., as a stand-alone marketing company with a nationwide network. The author points out problems with the investment ratios; earnings per share (EPS) and dividend per share (DPS) have dropped during 2004 and 2005 because of the reduction in profits during these years. The paper concludes that some of the risk factors, which will significantly influence IOC's ability to sustain its strong profitability and financial position in the future, are its huge borrowings from various banks and fluctuating fuel prices; however, the author recommends investment in the company because it has the potential to grow and the present financial downstream is mainly due to some situations, which are now under recoveries, and other specific bank borrowings. Many charts. Illustrations. Attractive presentation.

From the Paper
"Because of deteriorating relations between the United States and Muslim governments throughout the Middle East, France and other European powers such as Germany and Russia are recognizing that they must demonstrate leadership in the international community and make every effort to pursue diplomatic solutions. According to my analysis, Democratic control of the U. S. Congress, and recent calls by American leaders for a diplomacy and political solutions are providing France with an opportunity to take the initiative and play a leading international role in brokering peace agreements between Israel and the Palestinians, and some form of ceasefire in Iraq."

Abstract
India is a country that has become a subject of increasing popularity among economists and social scientists. Much of this has to do with the fact that as the nation approaches one billion in population the challenge of achieving economic development has not reduced since the country's day of independence just after the Second World War. At the same time, Indian leaders have been characterised by their desire to implement economy-wide plans, which have met with varying degrees of success. With this in mind, the purpose of this paper will be to examine the topic of economic planning and development in India. This will focus on India's export policy in the 1960s and its impact on the country's economic development from that time till now.

From the Paper
"With all eyes turned toward Iraq and the Middle East, South America rarely makes the headlines in the United States. Except for perhaps tighter controls and security on U.S. borders and waterways since September 11th , it seems Latin foreign policies are not top priorities for Washington. However, recent events in October in Bolivia led to ?a massive mobilization of Indians and peasants?military crackdowns that left as many as 70 people dead?and led to the demise of the conservative Gonzalo S?nchez de Lozada government on Oct."

Abstract
This paper explores and details North American Indian life and culture as portrayed in Donald Hughes' book "North American Indian Ecology." This paper discusses the land issues facing the North American Indian tribes including overgrazing, erosion and assessments of appropriate land usage. The writer of this paper finds Hughes' book to be straightforward and concise in clarifying the characteristics of Indian life such as hunting, food growing and rituals.
From the Paper
"Tribes are having to mediate the disparate demands of their members and the industrial mindset of the BIA to balance forest use for economic need and preservation for cultural need. Tribes face many of the same problems as non-Native communities held hostage by the timber industry. Replanting has not always kept pace with harvesting on public or trust lands. The push to harvest old-growth timber is constrained by federal mandates to protect endangered species habitats, putting people out of work. Few local communities gain the "value-added" benefits of processing their own timber especially jobs and new businesses and when they do the environmental impact of mill sites has to be factored into any cost-benefit analysis."
