UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, January 2009. Page 3 1. Executive Summary 2008 saw a continued pattern of religiously-motivated violence perpetrated against the Christian community across numerous states. This included large-scale violence in Orissa state in the weeks after 23 August 2008, the ramifications of which are ongoing, and a sustained campaign of violence in Karnataka state during a similar period. Impunity for perpetrators and inciters of religiously-motivated violence, and the weak implementation of laws to protect religious minorities from violent reprisals, continued to be very significant problems. At the root of many of the issues discussed in this briefing is the ideology of ‘Hindutva’, the politically extreme, nationalist interpretation of Hinduism, which, in practice, seeks to preserve and defend the cultural hegemony of Hinduism at the expense of minority religions and which propagates a culture assuming the illegitimacy of religious conversions (section 3). The final third of 2008 saw the worst spate of ‘communal violence’ ever faced by the Christian community in post-independence India, centred on Kandhamal district but spreading across Orissa state (section 5.2). The violence was catalysed by the assassination of the local figurehead of the radical Hindu nationalist group, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), on 23 August by unknown assailants. By 24 August, mobs were rampaging around the district, setting up roadblocks, shouting Hindu nationalist and anti-Christian slogans and openly blaming Christians for the killing of Saraswati and calling for revenge, as they launched attacks on Christian targets. The violence resulted in the killing of 70 (with more than 50 unaccounted for) and the displacement of at least 50,000, and was characterised by brutal violence and forcible conversions to Hinduism. The roots of this violence lie principally in the systematic propagation of hatred and violence against Christians by proponents of ‘Hindutva’, while also co-opting adivasis (Scheduled Tribes) into Hinduism. The most pressing concerns, as of January 2009, included the filing and proper investigation of cases by police, the delivery of compensation and addressing the humanitarian situation. Religiously-motivated violence against Christians was also a particularly significant problem in Karnataka (section 5.3), including an intense period of seemingly co-ordinated attacks on church targets between August-October 2008, concentrated largely in coastal Dakshina Kannada district, with smaller numbers of attacks also taking place in other areas. Coastal Karnataka is reputed as an area in which Hindu nationalist organisations have been active for over fifteen years in propagating the ‘Hindutva’ agenda. Police negligence or complicity in response to religiously-motivated violence remained a pervasive problem, including allegations of severe negligence in Orissa and participation in anti-Christian violence in Karnataka. Despite the existence of strong constitutional protections for religious freedom, there exist two significant legislative restrictions. Firstly, the designation of Scheduled Castes is linked to religious affiliation, so Dalits who convert to other religions lose their eligibility for the ‘reservation’ system (section 4.1), and violence against them cannot be litigated under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. Secondly, India’s seven state-level Freedom of Religion Acts, known informally as ‘anti-conversion laws’, pose a threat to freedom of religion through their restriction of religious conversions and their damaging normative effect on religious minorities (section 4.2). The UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief published a report after

Intangible cultural heritage means the practices, expressions, knowledge, skills, instruments, objects, arte facts and cultural spaces which are recognised by communities, groups and individuals. Globalisation has changed lifestyle and causing threat to intangible cultural heritage.

Thirty people above sixty years were interviewed both males and females. The interviews were done in creole and then transcribed to English. Oral narratives are still at its infancy in Mauritius and it is worthy to research as there is no academic research done on this topic. Three visits were paid to each participant to get acquainted with them and get their trust. Their ways of living were observed. Secondary data such as newspapers and books have been used. A diary was kept to know moods, special emotions and local expression of language of the respondents. This paper will lay emphasis on women as tradition bearers.

  • Expectant Urbanism Time, Space and Rhythm in A
    EXPECTANT URBANISM TIME, SPACE AND RHYTHM IN A SMALLER SOUTH INDIAN CITY by Ian M. Cook Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Professor Daniel Monterescu CEU eTD Collection Professor Vlad Naumescu Budapest, Hungary 2015 Statement I hereby state that the thesis contains no material accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. The thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgment is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Budapest, November, 2015 CEU eTD Collection Abstract Even more intense than India's ongoing urbanisation is the expectancy surrounding it. Freed from exploitative colonial rule and failed 'socialist' development, it is loudly proclaimed that India is having an 'urban awakening' that coincides with its 'unbound' and 'shining' 'arrival to the global stage'. This expectancy is keenly felt in Mangaluru (formerly Mangalore) – a city of around half a million people in coastal south Karnataka – a city framed as small, but with metropolitan ambitions. This dissertation analyses how Mangaluru's culture of expectancy structures and destructures everyday urban life. Starting from a movement and experience based understanding of the urban, and drawing on 18 months ethnographic research amongst housing brokers, moving street vendors and auto rickshaw drivers, the dissertation interrogates the interplay between the city's regularities and irregularities through the analytical lens of rhythm. Expectancy not only engenders violent land grabs, slum clearances and the creation of exclusive residential enclaves, but also myriad individual and collective aspirations in, with, and through the city – future wants for which people engage in often hard routinised labour in the present.

  • A Discourse on the Deconstruction of Spirit Worship of Tulunadu
    A Peer-Reviewed Refereed e-Journal Legend of Koragajja: A Discourse on the Deconstruction of Spirit Worship of Tulunadu Mridul C Mrinal MA in English and Comparative Literature Central University of Kerala, Kasaragod. The Social stratification in a community is often complex and ambiguous in nature. Upon the rise of each nation states and civilization, there were several parameters, which determined the social stratification. In ancient Greece, the word used to denote the divisions are genos. The ancient Greek society was divided into citizens, metics and slaves. In ancient Rome, the social stratification was identified with mainly two groups, Patricians and Plebeians. The chief resource for the social stratification parameters are economical in nature. Other factors such as tradition and beliefs are often can be said to have rooted in the wider economic subject. The term class is often associated with economics. There are usually hegemonial and subdued elements in social stratifications. In ancient Greece, the hegemonial element is found associated with the citizens, who are free and members of the assembly whereas slaves were the subdued element who were brought into slavery. In ancient Rome, the hegemonial element were the patricians whereas the plebeians were the subdued. These ideas can often be observed with Class struggle and historical materialism. The division of history into stages based on the relation of the classes is an important aspect of Historical materialism. In India, the main social stratification parameter is the caste.it could be claimed as ceremonial as well as economic in nature. BR Ambedkar observes Endogamy as a product of ceremonial caste.

  • Judaism: a Supplemental Resource for Grade 12 World of Religions: A
    Change and Evolution Stages in the Development of Judaism: A Historical Perspective As the timeline chart presented earlier demonstrates, the development of the Jewish faith and tradition which occurred over thousands of years was affected by a number of developments and events that took place over that period. As with other faiths, the scriptures or oral historical records of the development of the religion may not be supported by the contemporary archaeological, historical, or scientific theories and available data or artifacts. The historical development of the Jewish religion and beliefs is subject to debate between archeologists, historians, and biblical scholars. Scholars have developed ideas and theories about the development of Jewish history and religion. The reason for this diversity of opinion and perspectives is rooted in the lack of historical materials, and the illusive nature, ambiguity, and ambivalence of the relevant data. Generally, there is limited information about Jewish history before the time of King David (1010–970 BCE) and almost no reliable biblical evidence regarding what religious beliefs and behaviour were before those reflected in the Torah.
