  • A Sartorial Afterword
    A SARTORIAL AFTERWORD In May 2016, Britain witnessed Sadiq Khan, born to Pakistani migrants, becoming London’s frst Muslim mayor. Following the investiture cer- emony at Southwark Cathedral, certain right-wing voices used social media to turn the spotlight on Khan’s Muslim faith in a mean-spirited manner, criticising his wife, Saadiya Ahmed, for only putting on the hijab after the election victory. However, as it immediately became apparent in the international media, the woman to whom they were referring— and whose picture was used as evidence—was not Saadiya, but rather the Muslim writer and broadcaster Sarah Joseph, who was also at Southwark Cathedral and who reacted swiftly to this erroneously grounded social media vociferation. In addition to the string of prejudiced implications underlying it, this hijab-centred incident attests to the current obsession with the hijab in Western societies. It is also symptomatic of the scru- tiny to which the Muslim dressed body—and, in particular, the Muslim female dressed body—is currently subjected both in and beyond Britain, with the practice of hijab wearing often being used as a versatile political tool. This ongoing attention, which has intensifed since 9/11 and which our era of mass communication undoubtedly amplifes, bestows a cer- tain historical unprecedentedness on the question of the hijab. However, as the socio-literary analyses in this work have shown, much present- day discussion on the hijab in Britain, for all its singularity, brings to mind other dress-related precedents. These precedents have not simply involved Muslims, but also other South Asian minorities in Britain.

  • Impression of Diverse in Indian Society
    Aayushi International Interdisciplinary Research Journal (AIIRJ) UGC Approved Sr.No.64259 Vol - V Issue-IV APRIL 2018 ISSN 2349-638x Impact Factor 4.574 Impression of Diverse in Indian Society Neetu Sharma Assistant Professor Department of Sociology Gopichand Arya Mahila College, Abohar 'Indian Culture' is the Mother of all cultures. All the regions and religions of the world have their own culture with many customs, traditions and refined qualities. It is a culture of love, respect, honoring others and humbling one’s own ego so that the inner nature, which is naturally pure and modest, will shine forth. India is a unique amalgamation of cultures, religions and beliefs. Perhaps no other country of the world presents such a fascinating medley of a rich and variegated heritage that is as old as the civilization itself. Our country has a wonderful capacity of assimilating other beliefs as well as deeply influencing other thoughts and traditions. Indian culture is perfectly created out of the values that permeate its soul. India’s social customs, religious and spiritual concepts, education, literature all come together to create what we call as its culture. It is also known as ‘Mother of Cultures’. Music, dance, painting, sculpture and other art forms, agriculture, science, and industry all sectors trace their roots back to centuries. Unity in diversity is unity among people without uniformity. People living in India are from various religions, casts and beliefs; however, they are living with unity and proving the fact that ‘unity in diversity’. Unity in diversity means oneness in the varieties. India is a best country proving this concept for many years.
