Widows were expected to shave their heads, discard their jewelry, live in seclusion, and undergo regular acts of penance. Ishvarchandra Vidyasagar was the first Indian intellectual to successfully argue against these strictures. A Sanskrit scholar and passionate social reformer, Vidyasagar was a leading proponent of widow marriage in colonial India, urging his contemporaries to reject a ban that caused countless women to suffer needlessly.Vidyasagar's brilliant strategy paired a rereading of Hindu scripture with an emotional plea on behalf of the widow, resulting in an organic reimagining of Hindu law and custom. Vidyasagar made his case through the two-part publication Hindu Widow Marriage, a tour de force of logic, erudition, and humanitarian rhetoric. In this new translation, Brian A. Hatcher makes available in English for the first time the entire text of one of the most important nineteenth-century treatises on Indian social reform.An expert on Vidyasagar, Hinduism, and colonial Bengal, Hatcher enhances the original treatise with a substantial introduction describing Vidyasagar's multifaceted career, as well as the history of colonial debates on widow marriage. He innovatively interprets the significance of Hindu Widow Marriage within modern Indian intellectual history by situating the text in relation to indigenous commentarial practices. Finally, Hatcher increases the accessibility of the text by providing an overview of basic Hindu categories for first-time readers, a glossary of technical vocabulary, and an extensive bibliography. 606 $aRemarriage (Hindu law) 606 $aWidows (Hindu law) 606 $aRemarriage$zIndia 606 $aWidows$zIndia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRemarriage (Hindu law) 615 0$aWidows (Hindu law) 615 0$aRemarriage 615 0$aWidows 676 $a306.84 700 $aBidya?sa?gara$b I?s?varacandra$f1820-1891.$01049318 701 $aHatcher$b Brian A$g(Brian Allison)$0860549 701 $aBidya?sa?gara$b I?s?varacandra$f1820-1891.$01049318 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457894903321 996 $aHindu widow marriage$92478214 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05561nam 2200697 a 450 001 9910784746303321 005 20230620232028.0 010 $a1-281-07150-1 010 $a9786611071509 010 $a0-08-055388-5 035 $a(CKB)1000000000404420 035 $a(EBL)319164 035 $a(OCoLC)476115061 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000103109 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11990899 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000103109 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10060978 035 $a(PQKB)11736561 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL319164 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10206015 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL107150 035 $a(OCoLC)228147999 035 $a(CaSebORM)9780750681582 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC319164 035 $a(PPN)170234851 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000404420 100 $a20080816d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 04$aThe analytics of risk model validation$b[electronic resource] /$fedited by George Christodoulakis, Stephen Satchell 205 $a1st edition 210 $aAmsterdam $cAcademic Press$d2008 215 $a1 online resource (217 p.) 225 1 $aQuantitative finance series 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-7506-8158-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aFront Cover; The Analytics of Risk Model Validation; Copyright Page; Table of Contents; About the editors; About the contributors; Preface; Chapter 1 Determinants of small business default; Abstract; 1.

Summary 330 $aRisk model validation is an emerging and important area of research, and has arisen because of Basel I and II. These regulatory initiatives require trading institutions and lending institutions to compute their reserve capital in a highly analytic way, based on the use of internal risk models. It is part of the regulatory structure that these risk models be validated both internally and externally, and there is a great shortage of information as to best practise.
