Kālidāsa’S Shakuntala And Shakespeare’S The Winter’S Tale: The Child As Redeemer, Mohan Limaye

Mohan Limaye

This paper attempts to demonstrate that, though the three-member family (father, mother and child) is celebrated in Shakuntala and The Winter’s Tale, the child is the most important of the three members in the two plays in terms of plot and theme. The quest of Dushyanta and Shakuntala, the hero and the heroine, is on a deeper level for a child. The king needs an heir to the throne, and so do his subjects for a stable order. Similarly, in The Winter’s Tale, the stability of Leontes’ kingdom rests on Perdita, his daughter, after Prince Mamillius dies. In …

The Little Clay Cart (Mrcchakatika): The Construction Of Gender And Emotion In Act V, “The Storm”, Mohan Limaye, Kim Price

Mohan Limaye

In Act V of The Little Clay Cart, a Sanskrit play written in India about 1600 years ago, the playwright Shudraka constructs a poetic duet between Vasantasena, the heroine, and a Vita, her male companion, as they walk to the house of her lover Charudatta in a raging storm.

Concepts Of Human Nature And Social Organization In A Hindu Model And Their Implications For Human Resource Issues In Indian Business Organizations, Mohan Limaye

An ancient Hindu model of human nature and social organization is presented as a proposed explanation for people's behaviors and management styles in modern Indian organizations. A number of propositions emanating from the discussion of the model and review of relevant literature are proposed for future testing. International managers can use this model to aid them in synergistic cross-cultural management in some South Asian countries, such as India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.

India’S Democracy Is Vibrant And Representational, Mohan Limaye

Mohan Limaye

Observers often note that democracy has been breaking out all over the world since the fall of the Soviet Union, but all democracies are not the same or equally genuine. Now is a good time to evaluate India’s democratic experiment because, after all, India earned its independence over 55 years ago and has been an active democracy ever since. In my judgment, India can justifiably congratulate itself on establishing and nourishing a genuine or authentic and vibrant democracy.

When average Americans think of India, they think of poverty, disease, illiteracy, corruption, and disorganization. They rarely, if at all, think of …

Mahatma Gandhi’S Legacy: Liberation Through Non-Violence, Mohan Limaye

These pages are the notes of a one-hour talk (followed by a 20-minute Q and A period) I gave at Boise State University during a Martin Luther King weeklong anniversary celebration in 2001 (later slightly revised). The last section (about a controversy in India) was not a part of my speech; I added it later on.
