Banking Horizon

by Ms Vandana Vijay Dharmadhikari

Till recently, banking business was carried on by an exclusive few for an exclusive few. With the onset of reforms and advancements in banking technology, banking is now accessible to one and all. Banking is no more the exclusive domain of few. Today, banking touches, whether we like or not, each one of us if in our daily life. ATMS, Credit Cards, remittances, savings, deposits, home loans, vehicle loans, payment of bills: there are numerous bank products that every one of us use. Some of us are also able to transact in our account sitting at home and more often trade in the stock market too! Yet all of us may not have a clear understanding of all terms that are used by banks. We might be presuming certain things and may not be taking informed financial decisions. If this situation has to be overcome it is essential to make banking known to one and all and de-jargonize the banking world. The objective of education is to spread knowledge. Knowledge is most effective if it is disseminated in a simple and understandable way. That is what this book 'Banking Horizon' is about. This is an English version of ‘Banking Jidnyasa - Curiosity of Banking’ a popular Marathi book.

Battle Of Aschaffenburg

by Major Quentin W. Schillare

The Battle of Aschaffenburg examines the fight for the Main River city of Aschaffenburg in the closing weeks of World War II in Europe. It investigates the reasons why it took mobile and well supported elements of the U.S. Army ten days to subdue a defending German military force that was very much militia in character. After setting the battle in the context of Nazi Germany and the Aschaffenburg region just prior to the fight, the study takes the reader through the battle day-by-day describing the struggle and establishing the reasons why it was so prolonged.The study groups the reasons for the successful German defense into three categories: terrain, operational factors and behavioral determinants. It establishes that the terrain favored the defenders with the town located across the Main River from the attackers so that they were forced into frontal assaults. Granting favorable defensive terrain, it was not until a numerically superior attacking force enveloped the urban defenses, under the cover of massive fire support, that the Americans gained the upper hand. The study further demonstrates the Impact of the concept of the will to win on military operations, even in a hopeless cause.The Battle of Aschaffenburg addresses Europe an urban combat in the context of World War II and concludes that the factors relevant to success then are still applicable. An attacker must carefully plan operations in urbanized terrain, follow doctrine and be physically and mentally prepared for a difficult fight.

A Brief History of Modern India - Competitive Exam

by Rajiv Ahir

This book brings together various aspects of the turbulent period (from arrival of the Europeans on Indian soil and the establishment of British rule in India to the day India won independence and the early years of freedom) in a systematic and succinct manner: major and important details and milestones are effectively discussed while several relevant but little known details are also highlighted. It is not just the mainstream freedom struggle that has been considered; the disparate efforts—small but significant— of several groups have also been discussed. The political and socio-economic developments that have influenced the growth of modern India have been dealt with in independent chapters.
