This effort at mapping the growth of the township of Vrindavan, the famous holy place near Mathura in Western Uttar Pradesh in Mughal times is an exercise in local history and geography made possible by a number of documents surviving in the hands of the Gosa'ins (Goswamis) of the Chaitanya sect at Vrindavan. We see how from around mid-sixteenth century temples began to be constructed and kunjs (groves containing huts) began to be established in the vicinity of some small earlier settlements (Nagla Nagu, Dosaich, Nagla Gopa, etc.), which ultimately became parts of the single township of Vrindavan. The story we are able to trace shows how it will be a mistake to hold the society and economy of that age to have been a static one.

The aim is to collect all information from contemporary and near-contemporary sources about the canals of Fīroz Shāh (reigned 1351–88), so as to map them as accurately as possible. The area involved includes Indian Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and western UP. The paper also gives the account of a massive Sarasvati-restoration project, which like its paler modern-day successor (undertaken by the Haryana government), was a total failure.

At present, women throughout the Machreq and Maghreb regions are being denied their full national identities by being excluded from the rights, privileges, and security that all citizens of a country should have access to. Unjust laws, discriminatory constitutions, and biased mentalities, that do not recognize women as equal citizens, hinder women's rights to such things as political participation, economic security, mobility, and state protection.

A systematic study of the process of developing Islamic financial products for banks.Islamic banking began in the 1970s with the aim of providing financial services compatible with Islamic law. Driven by market forces it has grown rapidly in Muslim countries and in international financial sectors. It is projected to grow at an annual rate of 15-20% and a key factor determining this future growth is the availability of new products that will satisfy the needs of various segments of society.While other texts discuss the basic principles and contracts used in Islamic banking and finance, few discuss how these can be used to develop financial products. This book fills that gap, starting with the basic principles that form the building blocks of contemporary Islamic financial products and then discussing the more intricate issues relating to product development processes.Key FeaturesDiscusses the different stages of the product development cycle in detailIncludes case studies showing the structures of various productsCritically evaluates the issues related to product development including the types of products used by Islamic banks and the approaches adopted in developing themThe author is well-positioned to write this text, having been an economist at the Islamic Development Bank Group in Saudi Arabia (1999-2007)

Née au XVIIe siècle, la tolérance est devenue notre vertu centrale, au point de se confondre avec la démocratie. Mais ses conditions d'exercice ont changé : le schisme protestant mettait au défi de faire coexister des versions différentes du christianisme. Notre situation est tout autre. Les revendications de droits subjectifs, d'une part, et les migrations, d'autre part, ont bouleversé les thèmes, puis l'exercice de cette vertu : nous devons accepter les orientations sexuelles les plus diverses tout en accueillant les croyances et les moeurs de populations d'origines variées.Le basculement d'une partie des opinions en Europe et aux États-Unis indique que la tolérance n'est pas acquise. Elle exige de chacun un effort permanent pour surmonter ses propres aversions. Détachée des aversions, la tolérance est creuse. Dégagées de la tolérance, les aversions peuvent devenir criminelles. Il faut donc penser ensemble ces deux notions. C'est au jugement politique et moral qu'il incombe de réviser nos manières de vivre, voire de réprouver certaines coutumes. Car tolérer, ce n'est pas pérenniser les appartenances. C'est empêcher l'humiliation de l'homme par l'homme.Claude Habib est une ancienne élève de l'École normale supérieure de Fontenay-aux-Roses. Elle a enseigné la littérature du XVIIIe siècle à l'université Charles-de-Gaulle à Lille, puis à la Sorbonne-Nouvelle, où elle a dirigé le Centre Rousseau. Elle a publié de nombreux ouvrages, parmi lesquels: Le Consentement amoureux. Rousseau, les femmes et la cité (1997); Galanterie française (2006) ; Un Sauveur (roman, 2008) ; Le Goût de la vie commune (2014) ; Deux ou trois nouvelles du Diable (roman, 2016)
