This study empirically examines the co integration of the Indian stock market with special reference to National Stock Exchange, with the major stock exchanges in the world. The study of the existence of interlink ages among international capital markets has considerable implications on determining the extent of portfolio diversification as well as macroeconomic policies of individual countries. The changing conditions in the international stock market have led global investors to think of other leading market which offers immense returns. Asian Markets have emerged as desired investors centre for the global players. However, their movement is also subject to the volatility prevailing in the international markets.

This research paper examines the holiday effects presence on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), which is a major Indian stock exchange. Textile and clothing industry in India is one of the most important producers in the world, but also the second exporter of textile and apparels globally. The empirical analysis investigates the impact of holiday effect on the development of textile and clothing industry in India. The holiday effect is one of the most important calendar anomalies identified in the financial markets. The methodological approach includes the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test used to test the equality of means for different sub-sets. The findings revealed that the mean returns for pre-holiday and post holidays were greater compared to that of remaining days, but the empirical results showed that they were not statistically significant for selected stocks of BSE based on daily stock returns data for Ruby Mills and Mafatlal Industries
