112Business ethics in indiaJournal of Business Ethics 16 (14): 1529-1538. 1997.Unethical business in India became a recognized phenomenon during the second World War. Academic/journalistic/legal concern with ethics has become visible only during the nineties. Corruption-of-the-poor and corruption-of-the-rich need to be distinguished - especially in the context of globalization. The danger of attributing unethical practices to system failure is recognized. It is also important to bring to bear on intellectual property rights the more fundamental principle of natural propert…Read more

24Wisdom Leadership: Leading Self by the SELFJournal of Human Values 1 (2): 205-220. 1995.This paper establishes that the contemporary figures of organizational leadership are at best excellent examples of 'dealership' characterized by high skills-competence and low values-commitment. The author points out that managerial and organizational psychology for leadership is yet to grapple with the most fundamental of all the themes: the complete model of man which places the spirit-core of SELF in the centre. The paper upholds the classical Indian concept of wisdom leadership and introduc…Read more

23Rising Technology and Falling Ethics?Journal of Human Values 3 (1): 103-118. 1997.The paper highlights the alienation and separation produced by science—technology between man and nature, and between man and man.

Warnings about this were foreseen by a number of Indian livers and thinkers during the early twentieth century. Their prophecies seem to be unfortunately coming true. After sharing this sample of opinions, several recent c…Read more

13Managing the Earth-System: The Millennial Choice before the World's Policy-makersJournal of Human Values 1 (1): 37-48. 1995.This paper is an adventure of ideas which draws on the 'magic—magician' metaphor of medieval India to define the current existential predicament of the world. The author sets an agenda for reprioritization for restoring the imbalance in the fragmented human consciousness. This, the paper suggests, can be done by a gradual return to the subjective causal source of all our problems. The waning of the Objective Age created by science-technology-industrialism has led to a 'mutilating assimilative im…Read more

19Ethics: Light from the Golden QuartetJournal of Human Values 11 (1): 1-8. 2005.This article comprises deep structure clues to ethical issues in our lives drawn from the wisdom writings of Tagore, Vivekananda, Gandhi and Aurobindo.

For, the positive spiritual potential of man-as-he-could-be requires a fault-free baseline as the runway. All of them readily accept the classical word ‘character’ as signifying such a base. Illustrations…Read more
