Indian Values

Two teachers at Haskell who had a profound impact on my life were Ella Deloria and Ruth Muskrat Bronson. They stood apart from the others as far as I'm concerned. Ella Deloria was Standing Rock Sioux and a graduate of Columbia…. She taught girls' physical education and drama. Ruth Muskrat Bronson was Cherokee and a graduate of Mount Holyoke. She taught English. They both had such a wonderful sense of humor. They taught non-Indian subject matter but had a very strong respect for Indian culture, and they were clever enough to integrate it into the curriculum. They taught their students to have a healthy respect for themselves as individuals and a pride in their heritage. They taught us about Indian values and kept them alive in us. They respected and encouraged us to voice our opinions in and out of the classroom, and they had the ability to draw out our creativity. When Ruth would tell us to have pride in who we were, she'd say, “Indians are people too. Don't forget that.”

The purpose of this study is to review and analyze the sustainability practices performed by the organizations so as to enhance their performance and retain their place in the competitive environment. The nstudy will also critically examine the reasons behind the adoption of corporate sustainable practices by Indian organizations. Further, the scope and benefits of the integration of the traditional Indian values in the corporate sustainable strategies have been explored along with the contribution of the sustainable corporate practices in the betterment of the environment. To attain the stated objectives, the current literature in the said study domain has been critically appraised. The study reveals confounding results, where it is found that the fundamental factor that forced the corporates to integrate sustainable practices in their processes is the pressure from the government and the local community prevailing in the place where the organization is operational. This review offers valuable areas which can be further pursued by academicians in the present domain of research.

Good Leader

As reports increase of scandals and unethical behavior in Western corporations and organizations, public faith in leadership has declined, indicating the need for a reevaluation of what makes a good leader. We propose a transformational style of ethical leadership, supplemented by traditional Indian values, for leadership that focuses on duty, selfless service, and nonviolence. We address Indian cultural values of dharma, karma–yoga, and ahimsa in reference to transformational leadership, highlighting the contributions of influential Indian leaders like Mohandas K. Gandhi. We describe the consonance of these values and counseling psychology ideals, as well as their applications for leadership practice, training, and research.

The legal system in India follows the common law model prevalent in the countries which were at one time under British Rule or were part of the British Commonwealth. The jurisprudence followed in India is almost the same as the one prevalent in England, though it has been cross-fertilized by typical Indian values.
