AN INTRODUCTION TO HR ANALYTICS - DATA TO INFORMATION TO STRATEGY
With data becoming widely available and more easily accessible, industries are quick to
realize the value of insights that analytics can uncover. In Human Resources, with the
automation of many HR transactions, from recruitment to retirement along with the need
to perform strategically, analytics of the workforce is more important than ever. HR
analytics is a lot more than head counting--it's about the total amount and the quality of
talent, knowledge, and expertise to move your organization forward and stay ahead of
competition. It's about measuring the return on human capital investment and measuring
the impact and how HR is driving performance, productivity, and profitability. In many
different studies, HR seems to be lagging in this era of analytics and big data. But analytics
of the workforce, a company's most important asset, should be an opportunity for
businesses, particularly for HR, to transform itself and align with the business strategy.
Companies who are big on analytics are all thriving partly because of their use of analytics.
But how can HR do the same and be successful? What does analytics mean for HR? And
what exactly is HR analytics?
HR is still currently in the process of a major evolution, moving beyond its transactional
and administrative roles to roles that are more strategic and consultative. And so as HR
redefines and re-images itself, data will be an important element. Expect the strategic HR
roles to utilize data to drive decisions. Especially now that many transactions such as in
hiring, recruiting, and other personnel actions are all getting automated, there will be huge
bytes of data to go around for the strategic data analysts.
So for progressing organizations, not only will there be a decrease in need for
administrative HR, there will also be an increase in need for analytics. HR departments
should not be shrinking but instead becoming more strategic and analytical. There will be
an increase in the need for a more consultative HR who is always in touch with
management, with the finance department, and with other stakeholders. They will be more
hands-on with ensuring that HR is aligned with business strategies.
What makes a good HR Analytics Professional?
These professionals don’t necessarily have to perform heavy duty stats but perhaps some
elementary stats with knowledge of statistical concepts such as reliability and validity of
data, correlation, T-tests, etc.
Skill sets required for HR Analytics
• Quantitative and statistical skills for forecasting models
• Use of technology and ability to keep up with the rapidly changing technology in
business intelligence and analytics. Proficiency in the use of Excel, statistical packages
like SPSS, SAS, R, and other analytical software for all kinds of data including qualitative
data, i.e., NVIVO ( a qualitative data analysis computer package produced by QSR
international used extensively by Qualitative researchers)
• Business acumen--professionals who will treat the business like an entrepreneur,
connecting the metrics with business decisions and business priorities
• Ability to interpret and communicate results and findings, including statistical and
qualitative information to executives
• Professionals who can serve as consultants, helping you figure out solutions
• Being in HR, there is a need for professionals who understand HR policies and
implications, as well as human behavior and can explain attrition and retention, job
satisfaction, competencies, etc.
• In sum, an HR analytical professional has to be analytical, technologically savvy, and
consultative
As Tom Davenport says, "companies are competing on analytics." With the overflow of data
and the increasing demands for talent to analyze the data, these skilled professionals are
rapidly getting recruited by industries that are traditionally heavy in analytics. The need of
the hour is to build up analytical talent and capabilities in HR, because after all, it is the
people who will drive business.
With the emerging big data phenomenon, data analytics will often require a combination of
skill sets consisting of IT and Social Science--IT savvy professionals to mine the data, collect
and warehouse the data, and to visualize the data and Social Science professionals to
understand and explain statistics and the behavior and the psychology, the human
elements of the data.

Asst Professor Case 3:
Application of Costing to Indigenous Business Unit in Hubli City
A case study of Malatesh Student Mess
*Prof. Mahesh Bendigeri **Mr. Naveen Angadi ***Mr. Gurudatta Amate
An attempt has been made by students of Sem II of 2012-14 batch to align classroom
teaching into practical world. It is first of its find to bridge the gap between academic
learning with pratical knowledge by taking up mini project and trying to apply the concept
of cost sheet to local business units.
Mr. Naveen Angadi and Mr. Gurudatta Amate of Sem II class had selected Malatesh
Student Mess for the purpose of the study. It is located in Dharwad.
Brief Profile of Malatesh Student Mess:
It is a sole proprietorship concern, started on 16th Feb 2008 by Mr. Hanumanthagowda
Gowdar. . The mess is located in Gandhi Nagar, Dharwad. Mr. Hanumanthagowda is a BA
graduate and has 4 years of experience in this field. He started the mess with the initial
investment of Rs. 200000. He took a premises on rental basis and invested the capital on
purchase of utensils, tables and chairs, fan, grinding machine, wet grinder, Television, Gas
stove, Cylinder etc.
Purpose of the Study:
The main purpose of this study is to understand the costing model applied in the food
industry and the method adopted in ascertain the cost per plate of meals. Ascertainment of
cost per meal is most challenging job as the components that entire in preparing the food,
there prices keep on fluctuating. Maintaining the quality and price per meals is most
important. Further it is felt that cost per meal is determined by either some rough estimate
or based on competitor pricing. But after having conducted this study, it is found that even
the costing technique can be applied to determine the cost per meal.
Cost Sheet:
Cost sheet is a statement, which shows various components of total cost of a
product/service. It classifies and analyses the components of cost of a product. It is a
statement which shows per unit cost in addition to Total Cost. Selling price is ascertained
with the help of cost sheet. The details of total cost presented in the form of a statement is
termed as Cost sheet.
Data collection and Analysis
Following is the information collected from owner of Malatesh Students Mess with respect
to component of cost sheet. The information is collected for a period of one day cost
incurred for operating the mess. Based on this the analysis was done to determine the most
appropriate way of ascertain the cost per meal. The information collected here are based
on the oral interaction done with the owner and the prices mentioned are the prices
prevailing during the month of Dec 2012, hence there may be slight variation in the
presentation of facts.

Profit 3450 23.00
Sales (150 plates @ Rs. 50 per plate of meals)
7500 50
Cost per plate of meal
Analysis:
From the analysis of Cost sheet it is found that total cost incurred for preparing 150 plates
of meals is Rs. 4050, were as the total revenue from sales of 150 meals is Rs. 7500.
Considering the Rate per plate of meals as Rs. 50/- the operating profit per plate comes to
Rs. 23 and the total profit Rs. 3450 per day.
Since mess run on montly food coupon system and hence considering 30 working days and
assuming the price of materials doesn’t vary, the total cost of one month comes to Rs.
121500 and the revenue comes to Rs. 225000. The overall operating profit per month
would be Rs. 103500
Conclusion:
From this study it is found that we can apply the concept of cost sheet to indigenous
business unit and ascertain the probable cost of a given product/ service. We conclude that
small business unit can also make huge amount of profit if cost are properly accounted for.

GBS DELIVERS CONSISTENTLY FOR THIRD TIME ON IT’ S
INTERNATIONAL TOUR PROMISE.
INTERNATIONAL TOUR 2014
Incredible, Marvelous, Unforgettable…… this is how the International Tour can be
described. It was a successful journey with 100 members of the GBS Family.
The 20 members group left Hubli on 21st Jan and the 80memeber group left Hubli on 22nd
Jan and thus started the voyage. E Boarded the flight from Bangalore International Airport
to the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur. Reached the place at 6 in the morning and had the
first glimpse of a foreign country. We checked into our Hotel and thus started the 1st day ith
a light breakfast and a bit of shopping and a mini city tour.
The next day was a very well planned day. We were leaving for the water park for a whole
day. The day was watery in the water park. All were thrilled to see the variety of games, the
jungle trail, the Zulu walk, and the water games the various restaurants to catch upon if
hungry, 5D shows and what not to mention. There was bike ride, bungee jumping, ice
skating. All faces were tired and happy at the same time with the glow of the fun.
STUDENTS HAVING THE BEST TIME DURING THEIR VISIT TO MALAYSIA
The 3rd day the energy was
renewed and as usual after our
breakfast they had planned a city
tour for us, to which the first
destination was the KING’S
PALACE. Malaysia has 11 Sultans
and we visited 1 of the Sultan’s
Palace. The palace was a beautiful
place with 400 acre place with
greenery around it. Though we
were not allowed inside gate of
the palace it must be a beautiful
inside as it as outside.
As we left from there our next destination was not much far just a 15 minutes bus ride and
we were at the WAR MEMORIAL. This was a place which was dedicated by the Malaysian
people to their heroes who fought in the World War 1. The place was beautiful with huge
pillars and fountains around it and as we reach in the centre we could see the Granite made
statues of 7 soldiers who were the part of the World War 1. The soldiers were in different
positions of war with the weapons in hand. The place was a sign of gratitude and great
respect to the brave soldiers.
Next we moved to the Malaysia’s Times Square Mall, which was said to be the cheapest in
Malaysia. There we did our bit of shopping and then left to the most beautiful place one
could find in Malaysia and for which it is famous of course, It was none other than the Twin
Tower PETRONAS.
The Twin Tower has around 88 floors and
connected by a bridge in between. One
could find all the world known brands
there and the eyes couldn’t fit in all the
beauty of the place at once. With all happy
faces we left from there and hand a
stomach full of dinner went to our Elanga
Hotel for the last night stay in that hotel.
The next day we had to check out the
hotel early as we had to go to the
GENTING HIGHLAND which was a place 600ft above sea level with a temperature around
10-15 degrees.
SHRI.BHARAT JAIN,SHRI.JITESH JAIN ALONG WITH DR.MANIK(DEAN) AND MR.KIRAN A

of having the highest number of rooms in the world that is 6118. It was a huge place with
so many rooms and so many
floors. The place had all kind of
entertainment one could think of
at one single place. Casino,
Games, Dance, Music, Magic
Show, 3D shows and what not.
Everybody had a great fun out
there and all were enjoying the
place to their fullest. We enjoyed
the CASINO in the night time also
at 1.30 AM.
Next Day, the 5th day, our last day
in Malaysia, we left the place at
09:00 AM from Genting and started the journey to our last destination the Batu Caves, to
the famous Karthikeyan Temple. The place was religious place with caves and small
temples in it. From there we had our last Malaysian lunch and left to Airport and boarded

MALAYSIA- A CELESTIAL GLIMPSE OF ASIA
It’s been such a beautiful journey. Got a life time of memoirs, nothing
less than what I anticipated from the “truly Asia”. It went like a
breeze from the beginning, all the VISA work was taken care by the
college, completely aggravation free, even the currency exchange. All
we had to do is submit our photographs and passport. The batch
was divided into two groups, one from Tirchi and the other from
Bangalore. I was lucky enough to be in the batch leaving from
Bangalore, I would not have survived the heat of Tirchi. Trains were booked to reach
Bangalore with food included, courtesy our college. Finally we reach Bangalore at 2 pm
after half a day’s
journey. The flight
was at midnight
so we could kill
some time. We
reached airport
by evening, the
excitement
building up, I
could feel my
pulse raising, a
sense of elation
by thinking of
what was about to
come. The future
held many promising possibilities, and I would not miss any. I was keen on making the
most out of it. We passed the security check, this was a new experience for me as it was my
first one in air and it turned out to be the most pleasant one. The flight took off and I was
flying quite literally and emotionally. We arrived at the Kuala Lumpur airport in the wee
hours. There was a time zone difference, but not sufficient to get jet lagged. We were to stay
at the Hotel Elenga and we reached there by 8. We needed to rest as we dint get much sleep
in the short flight.
We rested till about 12 and we were off to explore the beautiful city of Kuala Lumpur. We
soon had our lunch and then some shopping. We were all so excited being abroad, it was
completely an amazing experience. We were still stomaching the new currency exchange
calculations and were not able to shop freely at first. After roaming around the town and a
late supper we went out on a long night walk. As we walked towards the PETRONAS twin
towers and the giant building grew on us, it took us a moment to apprehend the grandness

of the architectural monument. The late night walk was so soothing, walking with all the
friends, very unforgettable. By the time we were back to the hotel we were completely
exhausted. The next day began with an early breakfast at the hotel. We went to the sunny
lagoon a theme park in Kuala Lumpur; it was such an amazing place. It had a lot of
recreational activities like the 5D water games at the water park, bungee jumping,
trampolines, scream park, wild life park etc. We saw different species of parrots and
snakes that I had never seen before in India. It was completely a fun filled and an eventful
day. The food was wonderful and we actually never had to miss the Indian food as we were
fortunate to have a
sumptuous Indian meal each
day. Later we returned to
our hotel after another tiring
and a well spent day.
We slept late and got up
early each day as we would
gather and have long night
chats with friends and it was
all fun. We were here to
make the most of the 5 day
trip and we wouldn’t lose
any time sleeping while we
were in Malaysia. The third day we headed down to the Kings Palace which was so
magnificent. Surrounded by a beautiful park, green lawns and ponds the King´s Palace,
Istana Negara, is the official residence of the Yang Di-PertuanAgong, a Malay title usually
translated as "Supreme Head”. You can watch the Palace from outside the main gate where
the Royal Guards, dressed in white Malay as well as red British inspired uniforms, are
guarding the main gate on horse and on foot. We saw the administrative offices of Kuala
Lumpur and then we were off to shop our hearts out. It was totally a different experience
travelling by the Metro. Next we went to Berjaya Times Square which is your one-stop, one-
shop venue for great shopping, dining and entertainment experience. It's All in the Square!.
Next we went to the China market by metro again. As soon as we entered, the image of
Hubli’s National market flashed before my eyes. It was such a rush but it was a shopper’s
stop where one could bargain and get very good deals on all the things they sought to
purchase. I bought a couple of watches for my younger brother at great deals. We had a lot
of fun bargaining and shopping stuff at the market. It also had great street food and the
smell and aroma where just irresistible. Although we dint eat anything as we were not
familiar with the Malaysian cuisine. After a long day of shopping we called it a night since
we were to leave to Genting Highlands, the hill resort is at an average elevation of 1,740
metres (5,710 ft) within the Titiwangsa Mountains on the border between the states
of Pahang and Selangor of Malaysia.
The next morning we left for Genting Highland, it is accessible by a cable car called Genting
Skyway (3.38 km) which at its opening used to be the worlds fastest and South East Asia's
longest gondola lift. This was an amazing ride on the cable car and the entire path was so
full of fog. It felt like we were drifting over an ocean of clouds. We stayed at the Genting
hotel. We were accommodated at the 9th floor and the view outside the window was
picturesque. This place is like one off the family holiday spots and it had everything and
when I say everything I mean everything from shopping complexes to pubs to Indoor
gaming zones to all the foodie places. Also known as the ‘Fun City above the Cloud’, Genting
Highlands is the only legal land-based casino, Casino de Genting, which is very famous. The
first thing we did was to shop from morning till evening until our feet were sore. The food
here was to die for and they had an amazing assortment of desserts and Indian food. Even
though we were tired we wanted more of this city and our strength came from our
yearning. After dinner we headed down to the Casino, although most of us dint gamble but
it was fun to watch. We left at 1 am as it was time to shut the place. We had already started
feeling nostalgic about Malaysia as the next day was to be our last day of the
trip/adventure. We were off to bed after a brief chat with friends and a little bit of packing
to do of all the stuff we had bought here. I went to bed that night with a little heavy heart as
I had enjoyed so much during my journey and it was about to come to a halt.
This morning, the 5th day of our journey came with a little bit of mixed emotions as the
thought of leaving made me sad and the one of going back to India, to my home sweet home
made me happy. The thought of seeing my loved ones was a little comforting. We dragged
our luggage back to Kuala Lumpur, stopped for a quick lunch and then towards the Airport.
As we sat in the waiting room for the check in and security check, I could see some dark
clouds descend on everyone’s face. I knew how they were feeling, as I was feeling it too. We
boarded our flight as per schedule. I whispered my hushed adieu to the city which gave as
such fond memories. Malaysia you are truly Asia and ill always remember you with a smile
on my face and reminiscence in my heart. Thank you for treating us with such warmth and
welcome.
We were back in India by 11-30 pm. I grabbed a quick bite at a Subway joint and embarked
on a bus arranged by the college to take us back home. We reached Hubli by 8-30 am.
Everyone dispersed back to their dens. I raced back home along with by kid brother who at
come to pick me, to happily share my escapade with my family. We were welcomed back by
the college. It was a very warm gesture by the faculty and juniors which reflected on how
much we were missed. It all ended happily.
I would like to thank our college for providing us with such a wonderful opportunity
to travel abroad. It was interesting, learning about Malaysian culture. I would also like to
thank our Dean Dr. M.N. Manik, our faculty Ms.Tejaswini Patil who held responsibility for
all the girls in the batch, our faculty co-ordinator Mr.KiranAmbekar for a well-planned and
a hassle free trip, our faculty Mr.NagarajGoudar for being there for us, the board of
directors Mr Bharat Jain and Jitesh Jain for accompanying us, Joha travels for its services
and last but not the least our Director Mr.RamakantKulkarni for having faith in us and
believing is us that we would behave sensibly during the trip. Without each one of you this
trip would not have been possible and such a joyous one.

FRIENDSHIP AND LOYALTY
One of the things that hold friendships together is loyalty; this is why it’s
such an important ingredient in friendship, because it’s the glue that binds
people together.
A friend’s loyalty is a wonderful virtue. When loyalty is missing other
values will certainly suffer in any friendship. This is a quality that one
should look for in a friend, as friendship can be very complicated at times, but loyalty
between friends will hold the friendship together.
Whether still in school or grown or living your adult life, people need a reason to call
someone a friend. Granted one major reason is because a person as a rule doesn’t like to be
alone all the time, but there has to be a reason for choosing and then sticking with certain
people. And that reason more often than not is that a friend is someone you can count on;
whether to listen to you, to help you, or to just be there for you when you need a friend.
And it all works in reverse as well, as friends need to have mutual needs met or it won’t
work out.
But underneath all the layers of friendship, is the real reason that a friendship persists, and
that is loyalty. Its loyalty that causes a friend to take your side in arguments with other
people, or loyalty that causes them to swear to your face that you are the prettiest girl ever
or the toughest dude on the block. It’s that underlying respect for you and your feelings,
your dignity and your pride that keeps you wanting and needing this person in your life;
because really, who else will have your back when you do something truly stupid or will be
there to congratulate you when you beat the other friend in tennis or a stupid dance
contest. Who else will be there to stand up for you at your wedding or make sure that you
get there on time; your loyal friend of course, probably your best one; because probably it’s
your best one that is the most loyal, just as you are most loyal to them.
The bottom line is that friendship is built on mutual trust, and it comes from being loyal to
one another. Remember a good friend is someone who walks into your world when rest of
the world is walking out.
Loyalty is that feeling in the gut of doing right by your friend, and without it, friendship
cannot endure.
I leave you with a poem that I know “I asked God for water, he gave me an ocean. I asked
God for a flower, he gave me a garden. I asked God for a tree, he gave me a forest. I asked
God for a friend and he gave me you”. Be loyal to your friends, and as always you must live
well to be well.

Woman is as soft as cotton,
Woman is as strong as a mountain,
She understands the importance of the family,
She selflessly gathers all the beads of family,
She may get hurt, she may get pricked,
But she smiles and walks up with the sea of love within her.
Woman is sometimes filled with anger like storm,
But she is also a Woman calm like a stream passing across the valley,
She always wants things to be sparkling around her,
A thorn that causes pain for her family is removed by her without giving a single thought of
pain or hurt
She is surrounded with so many different people, but she knows how to keep everyone
happy.
Woman’s faithfulness is like carving on a stone and can never be erased,
Woman’s wounds are not seen by people, but God heals it and we think she heals herself,
Even when a child with slip of tongue hurts its own mother, she smiles and lets it go,
From where is this source Of power & patience in this woman is a question to uphold.
Woman unlike men are kept a line behind,
But being kept there on edge at bad times she sets to be the backbone to others,
Ms. Jasmine patadia
Ms. Farheen Badbade
Being the pride of her family,
She has to keep up with the demands,
Woman is herself only till the age of 10 then on woman is never herself till she dies the
chains of society keep her bounded,
Woman is also a free bird but also sacrifices & leads life as she is asked to.
Woman now is not the one, who stands quiet,
She is hard at times like a locked door,
She is soft as feather that soothes,
She has the warmth of motherhood,
She is so strong now that she stands straight even if she gets cuts & bruises in the wild
storm and protects her loved ones
WOMAN IS GIFT OF GOD ! RESPECT HER !
SHE IS SENT BY GOD TO PROTECT THE CREATION
DO NOT DISRESPECT HER !

DILIP CHANDAK – CEO VEGA HELMETS
Mr. Dilip Chandak, CEO, Vega Helmets, Belgaum addressed students of II semester on 22nd
January 2014. Sharing his experiences as an entrepreneur he urged the students to get into
business without fear and hesitation. Have a broad mind and heart and enjoy business is
what he seemed to believe in. Discuss ideas; keep talking about your ideas to others. Even if
you cannot work on it and somebody else uses it feel good that at least YOUR idea is alive in
someone else. Do not allow jealousy to set into you. Do not believe you are a small town
person and hence it is difficult to make it big. Become aware of the business needs and
ideas. Travel around to know how business is done. Benchmark with the best but never be
apprehensive or feel inferior of your own product. Appreciate others and share their
success were some suggestions he gave to the audience. Answering a volley of question
that were connected to the finances he raised, the women issues that plague business, the
loyalty to the company and how experience is more valued over degree it seemed like it
was a good rapport that the speaker established with the students. To a query on ethics he
mentioned that to him ethics is not cheating his suppliers, customers and end users. There
are certain procedural hurdles that one has to cross in business and the entrepreneur is
hard pressed, he may have to resort to certain unpleasant means. Follow your dream and
take calculated risks is what he urged. In all it was a fruitful afternoon spent with the
speaker.

BOOK REVIEWS
Dongri To Dubai: Six Decades of The Mumbai Mafia (Paperback) Price: Rs.214
Dongri To Dubai: Six Decades Of The Mumbai Mafia
is a book about various mafia dons focussing on
Dawood Ibrahim in particular. Filled with facts,
unknown incidents, and interesting stories, this book is
a must-read.
Summary Of The Book
Dongri To Dubai: Six Decades Of The Mumbai Mafia,
published in 2012, is a non-fiction book about
notorious gangsters and also contains a comprehensive
coverage of Dawood Ibrahim’s life. This is the first
book that presents the history of the Mumbai mafia,
and details the lives of Karim Lala, Chhota Rajan, Haji
Mastan, Abu Salem, and Varadarajan Mudaliar. The
main part of the book revolves around Dawood
Ibrahim and describes his story starting from a young
age as a boy in Mumbai to the international terrorist he
has become today.
This book traces the journey of a boy from Dongri to
Dubai. Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar was born in 1955 to a policeman. The author describes
Dawood’s first robbery, his love affairs during his youth, and how he turned into a local goon.
The police used to use him against various Pathan gangsters. Gradually, he managed to destroy
the competition, formed the Dawood gang, and ended up being the Mumbai Police’s arch
nemesis. The don is an ally of Pakistan’s ISI, though he is not an Islamic fundamentalist.
Zaidi analyses that this alliance was born out of necessity. Pakistan is said to shelter him though
he is one of the most wanted people on this planet, and in return he funds Islamic jihads.
Interestingly, Dawood’s biggest source of income in Pakistan comes from selling pirated
Bollywood movies. The personality and characteristics of Dawood Ibrahim have been covered
well in this book. His lust for power, his focus, his shrewdness, and his calculating mind have
been captured beautifully.
Dongri To Dubai: Six Decades Of The Mumbai Mafia covers the people behind the major crimes
in India. Meticulously researched, this book also has intelligent analysis along with the facts.
Dawood Ibrahim’s rise from a local to an international gangster is sure to keep readers hooked.
The new movie, Shootout At Wadala, is based on this book.

Bal Thackeray & the Rise of the Shiv Sena
How did a quiet, unassuming cartoonist at one of
Indias leading newspapers transform into the fire-
breathing chief of a militant political outfit? How did
his essentially sons-of-the-soil movement take
Mumbai by storm in the 1960s with its demands for
the Marathi peoples employment rights and attacks on
South Indians and the Communists? How did he make
the shift from an aggressive Maharashtrianism to
strident Hindutva to become one of the major players
in Indian politics? What explains his control over
Indias financial capital, his capture of power in Indias
industrial powerhouse, Maharashtra, and his ability to
win over the minds of millions and to strike fear in so
many hearts? How did he and his Shiv Sena establish
sway over the multi-crore film industry and, with its
longstanding alliance with the BJP, become a subject
of intense curiosity all over India and even in
Pakistan?
This book tells the complete story of Bal Thackeray
and the rise, fall and split of the Shiv Sena. It examines
Thackeray the person and his intriguing political personality, his partys militaristic methods of
operation, its controversial role at major junctures, the fight between Thackerays nephew Raj and
son Uddhav, the end of an era in Maharashtra politics after his death in November 2012 and the
future of the Shiv Sena without his imposing presence. A must-read for an understanding of
contemporary Indian politics and the rise of the Hindu nationalist phenomenon.
About the Author Vaibhav Purandare grew up in Mumbai in the 1980s and 90s, the tumultuous decades in which
Bal Thackeray and his Shiv Sena went from being regional political players to champions of a
militant Hindutva that carried their rhetoric and rage across India. He began his journalistic
career with the political newsmagazine Blitz in 1993, in the early part of which Thackeray and
his organisation played a key role in the Mumbai riots, and has since worked with Indias leading
newspapers such as The Indian Express, The Asian Age, Daily News and Analysis (DNA), Mid
Day and Mumbai Mirror, apart from writing for a host of other publications. His first book, The
Sena Story was published in 1999, when he was only 23. His second book, Sachin Tendulkar: A
Definitive Biography (Roli Books) and is now into its fifth edition. He is currently Senior
Associate Editor with the Hindustan Times, Mumbai.
Black Friday : The True Story of the Bombay Bomb Blasts (Paperback) Price:
The first compelling account of the biggest terrorist attack on
an Indian city.
On the afternoon of 12 March 1993, a series of explosions cut a
swathe through Bombay, spreading terror and destruction over a
period of two hours. Starting from the landmark Bombay Stock
Exchange in the south of the city during the crowded lunch hour,
the blasts extended all the way across to Centaur Hotel, Juhu, in
the north. The toll: 257 killed or missing, 713 injured, and a city
in shambles.
In Black Friday, S. Hussain Zaidi takes us into the heart of the
conspiracy and the massive investigation that ensued. The
product of four years of meticulous research, the book gives
chilling insights into the criminal mind as revealed in Zaidi' s
interviews with the close associates of some of India's most
notorious namesDawood Ibrahim and Tiger Memon, among others and reveals the true
dimensions of the macabre plan that spanned several countries and had been months in the
making.
The characters we meet are compelling: the terrorists, the corrupt law enforcement agents who
abetted the plot, the investigators who would stop at nothing, and above all, the people of
Bombay of whose resilient spirit this book is a celebration. Today, as terrorist attacks on Indian
cities become more frequent, this heroism is something we might all be called upon to emulate
