We report with regret the following errors in the February 1982 (41, 2) issue.p. 307. The name of Doctor James C. Thomson, the first of the three authors of Sentimental Imperialists: The American Experience in East Asia, was mispelled. In the body of the review, the title of the book was incorrectly cited. It should have been Sentimental Imperialists.p. 387. The first sentence of the review of J. Moussaieff Masson's The Oceanic Feeling: The Origins of Religious Sentiment in Ancient India should read as follows: “This book is a collection of seven originally independent, yet closely connected, essays in which the concepts and methods of psychoanalysis are applied to the Indian religious tradition.”p. 396, lines 21–23, should read as follows: “This weakness, already manifest in his introduction to Religion in South Asia, a collection of essays on conversion and revival movements which the author edited and published in 1977 (New Delhi: Manohar), remains.”Professor Frits Staal requested that we publish the following rectification:In my review article “What is Happening in Classical Indology?” (JAS 41 [Feb. 1982]: 287), I erroneously suggested that Rocher's “adulterator” should be read as “adulterer.” “Adulterator” is correct for Sanskrit miśrakaḥ. Also, I misread one of the tables: adulterators are always reborn with extra limbs. It still pays to shop around in the Hindu canon, but it has to be done cautiously.

This article contends that China, as a part of its broader global agenda, is striving to recast the regional order in East Asia, South East Asia, and South Asia. Its revisionist moves and growing influence in South Asia are perceived by New Delhi as challenge to its national security and regional position thus forcing it to counter the Chinese moves and preserve the status quo ensuing into bilateral rivalry. Doklam standoff was an outcome of this bilateral rivalry between the two emerging Asian powers as Beijing attempted unilaterally to alter the prevailing territorial arrangement in the area of dispute and New Delhi counter-attempted to maintain the status quo. During the standoff, China projected itself as ‘victim’ of India’s aggression while making provocative military deployments and threats of war against India. Opposite to this, India absorbed Beijing’s pressure and defended its move in Doklam giving the logic of its ‘security concerns’ and ‘special relationship’ with Bhutan. New Delhi asked Beijing to resolve the dispute diplomatically while emphasizing on their troops’ mutual withdrawal from the site of standoff.

Poverty alleviation with reference to gender has been the focus of attention of national and international organizations since the seventies. Massive international assistance, both financial and technical, has been given for such programmes. However, the success rate of such projects has been fairly low. Two major reasons can be given for this low rate of success: (i) the projects have been imposed from the top without due regard to the local conditions, and the target group, i.e., the women, have been treated as objects rather than subjects; (ii) the donors and the implementing agencies have not always focused on the ultimate goal of sustainable development The success stories are quoted quite extensively but they have not been followed. The underlying factor behind their success was a strong faith in the capabilities of the masses at the grassroots level and the maximum use of local talent and expertise. Ponna Wignaraja has produced a wealth of infonnation by providing an in-depth review of the successful poverty alleviation projects amongst women which can lead to sustainable development in South Asia. He first analyses the successful cases in detail, and then he looks at the not very successful projects in Africa and Latin America, suggesting guidlines from specific successful projects in South Asia.

This study examines the causal relationship between the Internet and economic factors in Asian economies between 1997 and 2017. The economic factors consist of gross domestic product (GDP), foreign direct investment (FDI), imports, and exports. A comparative analysis of East, South, and Western Asia was conducted using a panel vector autoregressive model. The findings show bidirectional causality between FDI and Internet use in South Asia, unidirectional causality from Internet use to FDI in East Asia, and unidirectional causality from FDI to Internet use in Western Asia. Moreover, the findings indicate unidirectional causality from exports to Internet use in East Asia and unidirectional causality from Internet use to exports in South Asia, but no impact in Western Asia. Finally, the results show unidirectional causality from Internet use to GDP in Western Asia. As these results suggest that Internet use has boosted economic performance in Asia, policy makers in the region should improve Internet use with a focus on economic growth, improving transaction efficiency, and facilitating foreign investment.
