Authors: Kashyap, Nirmal Abstract: Hundi (bill of exchange) was a medium of payment and worked as an alternative currency during the 17th century in India. Although mohar (golden coin), silver rupee and copper coin (dam) were prevalent, but business transactions were preferably done through hundi because it was convenient and less risky. Therefore, the process for alternative currency seems to have started after the paper being used as a medium of the payment from the Sultanate period onward.

Yet, little attention has been paid to the structure and contents of the university apparatus that paradoxically promotes group thinking, inimical to the goals of true learning.

Ramanujan 's Poetic Discourse Authors: Kumar, Akshaya Abstract: In the (Post)-modern context of decentering and dispersal, the very invocation of the term dharma to study and analyze contemporary poetry might appear quite anacharonistic and blatantly medieval. But in the Indian context where culture is not merenostalgia but a living space, a tangible continuum, dharma as an important input of culture continues to be a way of life that cannot easily be brushed aside as mere medieval hangover.
