This paper intends to provide an overview on Indian women towards fashion and its associated aspects in showing them as icons.

According to Cambridge dictionary, charity means a system of giving money, food or free service to homeless, poor and needy. In general, charity organization is defined as voluntary organizations into selfless service to people ill, poor, homeless or any organization that has the purpose of providing monetary support for their living. The reason and origin of this encouragement varies from one group to another, though there are similarities in the basis for charitable giving. It is a significant fact that charity has been advocated as a virtue by all religions. The Jain scriptures have laid down a well thought process of giving Dana (charity). They have widened the scope of Dana both for recipients as well as contents of Dana. Jainism mentions a four-fold charity known as Chaturvidha Dana, i.e. Ahara-Dana (gift of food), Aushadhi-Dana (gift of medicine), Abhaya-Dana (gift of shelter, protection from d...

Naked materialism has made the world vulnerable, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. The creation of two successful empires by ‘Ashoka The Great’ and ‘Akbar The Great’ through spiritualism have been milestones in two different era’s of Indian History. In India under Ashoka we witness the successful culmination of an ambitious first experiment in empire building. Ashoka will forever be remembered for trying to persuade his subjects to adopt Dhamma,a social ethic that tried to unite them by invoking virtues of spirituality. The title "The Great" is given to a person who does good works for mankind and makes this world more meaningful and peaceful place. These achievements can be done by a person when he conquers himself, conquers his anger, jealousy, ego, and hatred. The title "The Great" was given to Ashoka and Akbar not for winning big battles but for conquering the hearts of people spiritually. They timely understood that spirituality is in the heart and each individual has a heart.

But in recent years a paradigm shift has taken place when ethics, good corporate governance and corporate social responsibility have become an integral part of modern management philosophies and there is a progress towards refinement in all aspects of our life. Companies are now realizing that until and unless financial capital and human capital go hand in hand they cannot be successful in this highly competitive world. But the question is how to implement best practices in business and side by side remain competitive in this fast moving VUCA world ? How to create an atmosphere where employees trust employers, employers trust employees, organizations trust customers and customers trust organizations. How to build a strong organization on the foundation of “mutual trust ”? Modern day organizations are now moving towards spirituality -based value system to achieve the same. But...
