Sir Osborne Smith was the first Governor of the Reserve Bank of India from 1 April 1935 to 30 June 1937. Since his outlook on policy issues like the exchange rates and interest rates differed with that of the Government, he resigned before the completion of his term of office. Sir Chintaman Dwarakanath Deshmukh better known as C. D. Deshmukh, was the first Indian to be appointed as the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India in 1943 by the Britishers. Sir Benegal Rama Rau was the fourth Governor of RBI from 1 July 1949 to 14 January 1957 . He holds the record for the first Governor of RBI after it was nationalized by the Govt of India in 1949. A widening current account deficit when foreign currency reserves are exceptionally high and the rising current account deficit is telling us that the economy is bang in the middle of an investment recovery and domestic savings are insufficient to fund it.
A debt market is a part of the capital market. As the name suggests, a capital market is where trading in financial instruments is conducted to raise capital. Contrary to an equity market, debt instruments like debentures and bonds are traded in debt markets. A debt market is also known as a fixed income market as debt instruments pay fixed returns. Also, the risk factor is considerably lower, especially for government securities. The advantage of holding debt instruments is that the investor enjoys high liquidity. The Asian financial crisis in the 1990s stressed the importance of a fully active debt market; the lack of which aggravated the crisis. As in the 1980s, the bond market of the United States of America countered the drawback of banking system in relation to the real estate cycle. In most of the Asian countries, though both equity and debt market exist, the equity markets have expanded at a much faster speed than the debt market. Debt markets are now considered an alternative route for financing to banking channels. The most active part of the money market is the call money market (i.e. market for overnight and term money between banks and institutions) and the market for repo transactions. The former is in the form of loans and the latter are sale and buyback agreements - both are obviously not traded. The main traded instruments are Commercial Papers (CPs), Certificates of Deposit (CDs) and Treasury Bills (T-Bills). The Gateway of India was built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Bombay, prior to the Delhi Durbar, in December 1911. The foundation stone was laid on 31 March 1911, by the Governor of Bombay Sir George Sydenham Clarke, with the final design of George Wittet sanctioned in August 1914. Between 1915 and 1919 work proceeded on reclamations at Apollo Bundar (Port)for the land on which the gateway and the new sea wall would be built. The foundations were completed in 1920, and construction was finished in 1924. The Gateway was opened on 4 December 1924, by the Viceroy, the Earl of Reading.[1] Gammon India claims that it did India's first pre-cast reinforced concrete job for the foundation

of t Gat ay of India.[2] The last B itish t oops to leave India, the Fi st Battalion of the Somerset Li ht Infantry, passed through the Gateway in a ceremony on 28 February 1948.[1]

From here people can visit Elephanta Caves by ferry boats. There are luxury boats which takes visitors around the harbour for couple of hours. In front of Gateway of India, there is a statue of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj the independent Hindu kingdom of. The French Revolution (17891799) was a period of political and social upheaval and radical change in the history of France, during which the French governmental structure, previously an absolute monarchyw ith feudal privileges for the aristocracyand Catholic clergy, underwent radical change to forms based onEnlightenmen t principles ofciti ens hip and inalienable rights. These changes were accompanied by violent turmoil which included the trial and execution of the king, vast bloodshed and repression during the Reign of Terror, and warfare involving every other major European power. Subsequent events that can be traced to the Revolution include the Napoleonic Wars, two separate restorations of the monarchy, and two additional revolutions as modern France took shape. In the following century, France would be governed at one point or another as arepublic, constitutional monarchy, and two different empires. Communism is asocial structure and political ideology in whichproperty is commonly controlled.[1] Communism (written with a capital C) is a modern political movement that aims to overthrowcapitalis m via revolution to create aclas s les s society where all goods are publicly owned.[1] Karl Marx posited that communism would be the final stage in human society, which would be achieved through a proletarian revolution and only becoming possible only after a

socialist stage develops the productive forces, leading to a superabundance of goods and services.[2][3] "Pure communism" in the Marxian sense refers to a classless, stateless and oppression-free society where decisions on what to produce and what policies to pursue are madedemocrat ical ly, allowing every member of society to participate in the decision-making process in both the political and economic spheres of life.
Socialism refers to various theories of economic organi ation advocating public or

direct worker ownership and administration of the means of production and allocation of resources, and a society characteri ed by equal access toresources for all individuals with a method of compensation based on the amount of labor expended.

Medals are awarded in each event, with gold for first place, silver for second and bronze for third, a tradition which started in1951. Competitors are entered by a National Olympic Committee (NOC) to represent their country of citizenship. National anthems andflags accompany the medal ceremonies, and tables showing the number of medals won by each country are widely used. In general only recognised nations are represented, but a few non-sovereign countries are allowed to take part. The special case of Republic of China(Taiwan ) was handled by having it compete as Chinese Taipei, due to the political status of Taiwan.
