Abstract
The many factors that must be taken into account before opening an Internet service cafe in India are the subject of this paper. Specifically focusing on the market size, resources, regulations and risk of opening and operating an Internet cafe in India, this paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each. These specific factors are evaluated in the context of creating a new venture which has as its strategic objective the delivery of Internet access to the millions of Indian residents who are increasingly relying on the Internet as a communication and learning medium. The writer concludes that it is clear that setting up an Internet cafe in India is a very risky strategy that does not clearly have a solid growth future associated with it given the major limitations of Internet service providers (ISPs) becoming competitors and increasingly complicated regulatory compliance demands.

"74% of India's Internet users are from the Global High Income segment, and 22% are from the Global Middle Income segment. This is excellent news for anyone looking to provide Internet services in the India, especially if the company proposing the services is from another nation. Kumar found that the highest income segment of the Indian population has a high willingness to purchase products and services from global suppliers. This is in marked contrast to the largest and poorest income segments of India, which have a marked distrust of any foreign brands. This lack of trust has contributed to the continued high tariffs on infrastructure providers, which has hampered the growth of certain industries. Yet in the context of creating an Internet access provider business, the highest income Indians will find this a useful service. The aspiring aspects of the highest income segment having this as a service will permeate the global Middle Income segment eventually. The result will be an aspirational approach to consumption on services and foreign-produced and purchased products as the elite income segment of India can readily afford to do."

Abstract
The writer of this article notes that a group of investors is considering the market opportunity of opening a series of Internet cafes in India and has commissioned the completion of a series of three reports on this topic. This paper presents the first report of the series and specifically focuses on the cultural and economic factors the group of investors needs to consider before moving forward with the development of strategies for Internet cafes throughout India. This specific report analyzes and provides insights into the advantages and disadvantages of cultural and economic factors within the Indian economy and examines the potential for success of an Internet cafe venture in this developing nation. Included in the assessment of these advantages and disadvantages are risk assessments and, where available, insights into the policies the Indian government is pursuing to both encourage greater growth, as well as preserve its sovereignty in specific areas including Internet access.

From the Paper
"Cultures influence and impact one another at a personal level first, comprised by millions of moments of truth that over time define how cultural values conflict or align with one another. As a result of these moments of truth accumulating over time, cultures define their distances from each other. In looking to develop Internet cafes throughout India, the cultural implications of bringing Internet access into both metro and rural areas will require inordinate patience and understanding that India is a nation known for slow, ponderous development. It is the antithesis of the alacrity and speed of the United States, European nations or Australia for example. The urgency in these more advanced nations is not present in India, mainly as a result of the sporadic performance of its infrastructure. It is common for electricity to not be available for possibly days at a time. There is also the cultural attitude of working to live as opposed to living to work, and in this difference is the cultural dichotomy that will make the developing of Internet cafes challenging for any westernized companies."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The typical Internet Cafe is configured with between seven to ten computers, with printers, scanners, video conferencing equipment, and website development expertise is available in larger metro locations. It is common to also find in the larger metro Internet cafes workspaces or what is called in these locations "work cabins" where Internet browsing privacy is assured. This is one of the biggest reasons why students are drawn to Internet cafes for their e-mail and Instant Messaging, and online gaming activities. Almost all of these facilities, especially in the larger metro areas are air conditioned and provide both social networking and gaming areas. The business model is that of charging a per hour rate for Internet access, with additional charges for value-added services including the development of websites, developing e-commerce sites for local small businesses, and connection in the metro area via wireless access in the most populated areas of India's major cities. It is common for the franchised Internet cafes to have alliances with national telephone and broadband providers."

Abstract
This paper outlines a business plan for setting up an internet cafe and describes the industrial trend of the products and services available for the cafe.
From the Paper
"The following is a business plan for an Internet Caf? ? ABC Caf?. Unlike ordinary computer business, the genre of this business will belong to the entertainment industry. The products and services include Internet access for browsing, computer games, chatting, office work and beverage services. Instead of merely providing Internet Caf? services, the business will differentiate itself from competitors by providing a caf? atmosphere like those of a hip joint while providing Internet services. Hence, food stuff would be provided on the one side of the caf? while on the other side, computers will be placed in triangular tables to compensate for physical and virtual interaction by customers.

The 1947 Partition of India, 2005.
This paper discusses the impact of the partition of British India in 1947 into India and Pakistan and argues its harmful effects.

Abstract
This paper sums up the social, political, economic repercussions of the 1947 partition of British India into India and modern-day Pakistan. The paper suggests that a more conciliatory approach on behalf of the political leaders of the day might have avoided much of the subsequent bloodshed and spared both of these nations the acrimony and animosity that presently lingers.
From the Paper
"The partitioning of India has stirred a great deal of debate. This paper will wade into that debate by examining whether or not the partition of India made sense socially, politically, or economically. More specifically, this paper will argue that the 1947 partition did a great deal of harm to India - and to Pakistan - in all three regards and that a more inclusive approach involving the leaders of the day might have spared both nations the tragedies that followed. With that in mind, it is to a discussion of the Indian partitioning of 1947 that one now turns."

Clive and the East India Company, 2008.
A discussion of Sir Robert Clive's impact upon India and the East India Company.
1,966 words (approx. 7.9 pages), 4 sources, MLA, £ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explores the towering personality of eighteenth-century East India Company Commander Robert Clive and how his forceful personality -combined with questionable ethics - established the East India Company as the de facto ruler of North-East India. The paper also shows how Clive undermined the legitimacy of the regional Nawabs while transforming Indian society in ways that created anger and resentment among Indians. The paper then looks at how the Chinese managed to secure a degree of autonomy in contrast to the Indians.
From the Paper
"The beginning of the East India Company's century of political domination in the "crown jewel" of the British Empire dates back to the 1750s - at least according to historian Philip Lawson. Specifically, shortly after securing the corporate presidency, Robert Clive was called upon to respond to an emergency in Bengal involving the capture of Calcutta by the new Nawab, Siraj-ud-Daula. While the matter is actually rather complex, what had essentially happened is that a simmering Mogul rivalry had spilled over into British affairs. Particularly, the Nawab had imprisoned 146 Europeans - of whom 123 died in one evening in a crowded cell. Suffice it to say, the Nawab's actions and the reckless disregard for the safety and security of the Europeans sparked mass revulsion across Europe (most notably in Great Britain) and Clive became one of the two senior commanders of an expeditionary force sent from Madras to re-capture Calcutta and rescue those Europeans who had not perished; the campaign, just as one might expect, was a huge success and marked the high point in Clive's military career."

Independence for India
From the Paper
"Many of the leaders in India did not want to actively participate in World War II. History shows that Gandhi and Nehru wanted to tie any participation of their country in the war with independence for them. First, consider some facts about Mahatma Gandhi. This is explained in the article, "Mahatma Gandhi", (2006), Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's birth was in a small town called Porbander on October 1, 1869 (p. 1). He went to school in Rahkot due to the fact that his father was the prime minister of this area. Gandhi was actively involved in keeping peace between the Hindu and Muslims. One of Gandhi's problems was that he refused to see the two separate elements the Hindu and Muslims had (Mahatma Gandhi 2006). Gandhi wanted peace and independence for his country."

Abstract
In this paper the author examines how British rule has made an impact on Indian politics. Making comparison to Abdullah Hussein?s characters in ?Weary Generations?, the author suggests that British rule, in modern Indian politics, continues to be ?an unhappy marriage that still is not broken?. The second section of the paper discusses political institutions in contemporary India and their relevance, whilst the third section looks at Indian ancient civilization which the author suggests has led to a modern day philosophy of non-violence, religious tolerance. The paper concludes with a look at democracy in India as compared to that in China and Japan.
From the paper:
?The English made many external changes that led to the Indian people's desire and ability to become their own unified country. Although unification may never have happened without the influence of the British, it was the Indians themselves that eventually achieved their unity. The British could not completely unify India.?

Abstract
This paper explains that India and Pakistan have been arch-rivals since the partition of the sub-continent that took place more than 50 years ago; their animosity goes back a long time and finds its main causes in religion and history. The paper shows how this animosity has turned into a deadly arms race. The author points out that Pakistan never accepted the accession of the state of Jammu and Kashmir to India. The paper relates that the culture of medieval terrorism has spread throughout Pakistan because the Pakistan government has permissive attitudes towards terrorism and uses Islamic Jihad terrorism against India.

From the Paper
"In 1931, the Maharaja's officials in the Jammu Province disrupted many different Muslim prayer congregations and insulted the Holy Quran. This caused a massive outrage among the Muslim community. The Muslims held many meetings and processions. At a meeting, Abdul Qadeer delivered a violent speech against the Maharaja. He was arrested by the police and charged for sedition. During his trial, the police shot a crowd of Muslim protesters outside the Srinagar Central Goal, taking the lives of twenty-two demonstrators and a policeman. This day is known as "Martyrs Day" in the history of Kashmir, marked as the beginning of the struggle of the Muslim Kashmiris for independence from the Indian government."

Abstract
This comprehensive study is aimed at the major economic, political, cultural and social changes and crises that have taken place within India during the period in question and it will attempt to assess the extent to which these factors have shaped the country's economic performance. Included in this analysis will be an assessment of economic development and social change, the economic and political aspects of agricultural change, as well as political change, political structure and the functioning of government. Attention will also be directed towards the caste conflict and language differences as well as the extent to which they have had an impact on the level of economic development that India has been able to achieve and the nature of this development. The main hypothesis that will be tested in this study will be the following: while India has achieved relatively significant economic advances during recent years, especially in light of the country's status as a Third World nation, these advances have been limited.

From the Paper
"Stated to be a good measure of devolvement was an increase in proactivity in personnel function in the past five years and in both the Indian and British interviews relating to involvement another measure was revealed stating to be "continuous feedback from line managers." (Budhwar and Sparrow, 2002) It is held that this is "an important measure of devolvement as it helps to evaluate whether things are working according to plans or not, and what changes will be required in the future." (Budhwar and Sparrow, 2002) An expectations that such type examinations might reveal "the extent to which managerial cognition of strategic HRM actually relate to practice. Similarly, the influence of possible new dimensions of national culture, as suggested by both Indian and British managers' viewpoint should be examined. The thinking of personnel specialists and different levels of employees from other sectors, regarding their function, should also be examined." (Budhwar and Sparrow, 2002)"

Abstract
This paper explains that situations of racial and ethnic strife occurred long before the British colonization of India; however, the British presence created a worsened landscape. The paper relates that this stark realization of racism is played out in E. M. Forster's novel "Passage to India", especially within the symbolism of the Marabar Caves, which is the orient to the usurpers. The author points out that the trial of protagonist Aziz is an example of how such mystery feeds the minds of a fearful population, both native and white.
From the Paper
"The foundations of the strife between the characters and the community in stark realization, during the only time in the novel when the "truth" is allowed to be heard is still evident, as many probably walked away from the incident and the trial with a clear sense of the mystery that surrounds the caves. No one is allowed to discover the whole truth, as to whom if anyone really attacked the white woman, or if it was simply the fear of the surroundings that rebuffed the young girl."

Abstract
This paper explores the history of marriage in India, where it is viewed as a sacrament and the greatest bond between a man and a woman and between their families. The author discusses arranged marriages and the role of sexual intimacy in marriage. The paper further highlights the different outlooks on marriage between Northern India and Southern India. Also considered is the impact of other cultures in India, including Islamic and Western Culture. The author concludes that despite these cultural influences, marriage remains a sacrament in India.
From the Paper
"The greatest event in a family in India is a wedding, which celebrates and evokes every possible social obligation, kinship bond, traditional value, sentiment and economic resource (Encyclopedia of Nations 1995). It is considered essential by virtually everyone in the country. The individual sees it as the setting for one's transition to adulthood, which is the result of a combination of choices by everyone in the group or family. Everyone is born in a family and the choice of a family is beyond individual choice, which is why arranging a marriage is a critical responsibility of parents and other relatives on both sides. Some Indian parents make this arrangement at the birth of a child while some wait until later. Child marriage was practiced by small ancient groups, especially the Rajasthan, for their children under the age of five (Encyclopedia of Nations, Stormloader). Hindu scriptures sanctioned the practice and its early consummation and emphasized that a girl should be married before puberty or before her first menstruation. If not, she would go to hell because it would constitute abortion. Their Prophet Islam taught that marrying young girls from 2 to 8 would be ideal. Indians also fixed the age of the groom at ideally three times that of the child bride..."
