TL;DR: Madan as mentioned in this paper has invigorated the social sciences in India for many years by his research, writing, and teaching, and has written on such themes as Hindu culture, culture and development, ethnic pluralism, family and kinship, and the professions.
Abstract: This is the text, with a few verbal modifications, of a lecture delivered by T. N. Madan at the President's Panel in Honor of the Fulbright Fortieth Anniversary Program, on the occasion of the 1987 meeting of the Association of Asian Studies in Boston. T. N. Madan has invigorated the social sciences in India for many years by his research, writing, and teaching. As an author he has written on such themes as Hindu culture, culture and development, ethnic pluralism, family and kinship, and the professions. As editor of Contributions to Indian Sociology, he has attracted to its pages distinguished research and writing from an international pool of contributors. This achievement is related to his capacity to combine discriminating intellectual taste with a friendly capacity to insinuate the journal into the publishing program of outstanding social scientists. It is also related to the fact that his anthropological understanding is combined with a wide-ranging methodological sympathy for other social sciences as well as the humanities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze the connections made between women and water in a Rajasthani drinking water supply project as a significant part of drinking water's commodification and argue that through women's participation activities that link gender and modernity to new responsibilities and increased mobility for village women involving the clean water supply, a “traditional” Rameshani woman becomes modern.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an exploratory look at how the leadership practices of business organizations may foster more peaceful societies and develop the logic for positive relationships between participative organizational leadership, employee empowerment, and peace.
Abstract: Summary This paper provides an exploratory look at how the leadership practices of business organizations may foster more peaceful societies. I develop the logic for positive relationships between participative organizational leadership, employee empowerment, and peace. I offer several mechanisms to explain why these different manifestations of voice are likely to contribute to peaceful societies. I then draw on several cross-national databases to provide a preliminary examination of the hypotheses. I find support for the hypotheses regarding the positive effects of participative leadership and employee empowerment in work organizations on peace. The paper concludes by discussing contributions of this research to the organizational studies literature and offers directions for future research. Copyright # 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
