A Youth View : “As one of the person who was involved in organising the Multifaith Prayer Meeting. I was so impressed with the idea of “Multifaith”. I’ve been in so many pray events in different cultures, but this is the first time I saw so many religions from Hindu to Muslim came together to pray for those who died in Mumbai Terrorist Attack. This is the event where love and human kind were glorified. Every one forgot about their background, cultures, religion. Together, people pray for the victims of the attack. It such a beautiful thing! The Multifaith Prayer Meeting reminded me the words of my late grandma told me when we were in the Holy Hour praying for Vietnamese – American War Victims. “War is the fight between countries and countries, regimes and other regimes, but not between person and person” she said. And that idea just showed right here at the Multifaith Prayer Meeting. During the event, I personally also pray for the terrorists, because I believe whatever side of the war people are, every one are still the victims of selfish, death and evil. I pray that god will lead them back to the right way.. - Tai Do, Vietnamese Student Association 6.4 / 6.5 October / November 2008 EEditorialditorial PagePage CCurrenturrent BoardBoard ofof DirectorsDirectors Publisher & General Editor: CCurrenturrent BBoardoard ofof DirectorsDirectors ofof Gambhir Watts BBharatiyaharatiya VVidyaidya BBhavanhavan AustraliaAustralia [email protected] Editorial Committee: J Rao Palagummi OOfficeffice BBearersearers : Catherine Knox Rajesh Katakdhond [email protected] President Gambhir Watts Designing Team: Treasurer Catherine Knox Utkarsh Doshi J Rao Palagummi Surendralal Mehta- Chairman Emeritus Advertising: President Bhavan Worldwide [email protected] Company Secretary Sridhar Kumar Kondepudi Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan Australia Suite 100 / 515 Kent Street, Sydney NSW 2000 OOtherther ddirectorsirectors aarere * The views of contributors to Bhavan Australia are not necessarily the views Abbas Raza Alvi; Moksha Watts of Bhavan Australia or the editor. *Bhavan Australia reserves the right to edit any contributed articles and NNomineesominees ooff BBharatiyaharatiya VVidyaidya BBhavanhavan Worldwide:Worldwide: letters submitted for publication.

They are misguided and disgruntled human beings having no remorse for what they do or for anyone of their innocent victims. I personally consider terrorist mentality a mental disease which can be cured with sustained compassion and ongoing dialogues over an extended period of time. As Mahatma Gandhi would often say an eye for eye mentality will leave everyone bind. Having said that nevertheless in the interest of security of the innocent citizens the terrorist attacks need to be instantly faced and tackled proficiently with force or otherwise. That is what has been witnessed here. This is however a short term measure. In the interest of long term solution we must be prepared to consider that the terrorists are not born terrorists; they are the victims of their environments economic and social and become easy prey to a handful of evil elements in the societies. The international community need to get into the root causes and eradicate the social and economic injustices experienced and / or perceived by the underprivileged sections of the regional and tribal populace. That again reminds me of the Gandhian economics and the social systems as advocated by Mahatma Gandhi. The recent terrorist attacks in India’s financial capital Mumbai have shocked the world with their brazenness and brutality. The attacks have added to a mounting sense of insecurity in the city and people are still struggling

    SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 2020 (PAGE 4) SPORTS A Dream Indian Cricket Team Sunil Fernandes The advent of limited-over cricket from the 1970s has irrevocably changed the way the game is played. With all fixtures locked down, one cricket fan lets his mind wander to what might have been. Vasant Raji, India’s oldest first-class cricketer, passed away recently. He was 100 years old. His passing, perhaps, is a time for cricket to remember and cele- brate some of the other great stalwarts of Indian test cricket too – especially when the coronavirus pandemic has meant no sporting events can take place. India played its ever first ever test match at the historic Lords Cricket Ground in 1932 against England. Forty-two years later, in 1974, India played its first ever limited-over international, also in England.

  • Gender, Power, and Cricket Spectators in Calcutta, 1960S–1990S
    The Historical Journal (2021), 1–23 doi:10.1017/S0018246X21000406 ARTICLE Gender, Power, and Cricket Spectators in Calcutta, 1960s–1990s Souvik Naha Department of History, Durham University, Durham, UK Email: [email protected] Abstract Historians of modern India have emphasized the reflexivity of men and women in the making of womanhood, paying attention to notions of gender difference emerging from both primordial, restrictive codes of behaviour and contrarian impulses towards what was popularly called progress. There have been relatively few attempts to trace gender interaction in outdoor leisure activities, public displays of femininity, and male regula- tory anxieties in the post-colonial context. By studying the symbolism of women’s pres- ence in the Eden Gardens, the international cricket stadium in Calcutta, from the 1960s to the 1990s, this article reflects on the nature of power, authority, and gender hier- archy in urban Indian society. This study of questions of gender hierarchy, women’s mannerisms, social identity, and informal resistance through a historical lens will enable us to understand the trajectory of women’s outsider status in urban public spaces. Through a reading of the mediated parti pris impressions of female spectators, it will also map the transition in society’s approach to sport from a structured homo- social community activity to a relatively unstructured field of shared experience. I A cartoon published in the Hindustan Standard newspaper during the India– England Test match at the Eden Gardens, Calcutta, in 1961–2 featured two women. They were seated on the back row and enjoying themselves, chatting and knitting sweaters, with visible disregard to the innings in progress.

It argues that mediatisation and mediation of cricket have played more significant a part in the circulation of cricket than historians have accorded to it. It studies the role of literature, news reports and radio broadcasts, which have transmitted cricket for a long period, as agents of producing a history of the sporting public. The framework of culture in this thesis is formulated on media texts which, far from being confined to objective treatment of cricket, evoked canons, provided the sport with a sense of tradition, and determined the protocols of its appropriation.
