Mobilising for Water: Hydro-Politics of Rainwater Harvesting in Chennai, International Journal of Urban Sustainable Development, 3:1, 106-126
Water politics in Chennai Draft – Do not cite without author consent Arabindoo, P. (2011). Mobilising for water: hydro-politics of rainwater harvesting in Chennai, International Journal of Urban Sustainable Development, 3:1, 106-126 Pushpa Arabindoo 1 29/07/2013 Water politics in Chennai Draft – Do not cite without author consent Mobilising for water: Hydro-politics of rainwater harvesting in Chennai Abstract In 2003-04, as the Indian city of Chennai faced an unprecedented water crisis, a debate ensued about finding longer-term sustainable solutions, ranging from expensive desalination plants to modest rainwater harvesting schemes. The latter was enforced by an authoritative state and promoted enthusiastically by environmentalists to raise awareness about the city’s much destroyed hydrological ecosystem. In contrast to the state’s interpretation reducing it to a compulsory hydraulic installation in individual buildings, environmental NGOs made a concerted effort to develop a more comprehensive intervention in the wider public domain. However, as a dizzying array of socio-political actors came together, concerns emerged about the ability of such a mobilisation to generate a uniform material understanding of rainwater harvesting as a common moral goal. Examining in detail one specific case study of a community- led effort—Puduvellam, this paper looks at how, as a grassroots organisation involved in the restoration of a prominent temple tank in southern Chennai, it rallied support amongst the local (mainly middle class) residents to create a new topology of ecological consciousness. Its success however was only partial and highlights the futility of romanticising rainwater harvesting as an indigenous alternative. More importantly and ironically, its ineffectiveness was enhanced by the crisis itself as it triggered a process of privatisation and commodification of water, with rainwater harvesting eventually being absorbed by the agenda of ‘bourgeois environmentalism’. -

The rate of their growth highly relies on their efficient economic planning and implementation of appropriate policies and programmes. In order to lubricate the wheels of the economy, the acceleration of industrialization becomes inevitable.

In the long run, it is a solution for a chronic problem of unemployment which ensures reasonable standard of living of the people. The industrial growth leads to gradual poverty alleviation and also enhances the rate of GDP. Amongst various industries, tourism industry substantially assists the socio-economic developmental process by creating new avenues for employment for the workforce. Needless to say, its performance has, therefore, been drawing the attention of the government, policy makers, and researchers worldwide, owing to its importance in boosting the economic growth and development. On account of its potential and scope, there have been researches on this front being undertaken globally for framing suitable policies in time. India, amongst the developing countries, is not an exception. Rather, such researches are constantly being carried out by the researchers and the policies are being framed and implemented in the country. -

Nehru's 'Discovery of India' the Role of Science in India's Development
NEHRU’S ‘THE DISCOVERY OF INDIA’ 157 Nehru’s ‘Discovery of India’ The Role of Science in India’s Development Science should unite and not break-up India ‘I love India, not because I have had the chance to be born on its soil but because she has saved through limitless ages the living words that have issued from the illuminated consciousness of her great sons’. So wrote our great poet Rabindranath Tagore several years ago but few among the modern generation of intelligent youth have bothered to get even a glimpse of what that glorious heritage of India was. Valmiki, Vyasa, Kalidasa and Bhavabhuthi are just names. The masses of India, however, are better informed, Rama¯yana and Maha¯bharatha have impressed on their mind the oneness of India. Every village, at least till recently, had a Bhajan Mandal where the entire village would participate. Pilgrimages were undertaken with great religious fervour to holy places like Varanasi, Gaya, Rameswaram, Dwarka, Puri and Haridwar, Badrinath and Amarnath. These inculcated in the minds of the people the vastness and variety of their homeland and welded them as one human entity. This tradition of unity and integrity of the country is being destroyed by the self-serving politicians jockeying for power and sowing seeds of hatred in an otherwise peaceful population. Science has barely tried to perpetuate this unifying influence. ‘The Discovery of India’ by Nehru When my mind was deeply distressed at the present state of the country, I was drawn to a review of the book ‘The Discovery of India’, a recent edition of which has been brought out by the Penguin publishers. -

History of Thirukolur and Vaithamanidhi Perumal Temple in Tiruchendur Taluk
© 2020 February 2020, Volume 7, Issue 2 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) HISTORY OF THIRUKOLUR AND VAITHAMANIDHI PERUMAL TEMPLE IN TIRUCHENDUR TALUK K.REVATHI Ph.D Research Scholar,(Part Time) Department of History, V.O. Chidambaram College, Affiliated to Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, South India – 627012. Abstract As the God fearing people, the Tamils never preferred to settle in villages which had no temple and considered such villages as haunted places and unfit for human inhabitation. The temple is a place where God dwells in various forms embodied in sacred images or Symbols of deities which constitute the most important part of Hindu art. The images that were formed under the trees became temples made consequently on bricks being used for constructing temples. Since then several kinds of temples have come into existence. Silapathikaram contains reference about Vishnu temple. The Sixth and Seventh centuries A.D. was marked by the adoption of stone as medium by the Hindu and Jains of South India. The temples of South India still survive in thousands and are in use and maintain their importance and sanctity. The contributing factors for the state of the South Indian temple are the comparative freedom from foreign invasions and disruption in peninsular India, the strength and stability of the Kingdoms. The great empires of the South, the Chalukyas the Pallavas, the early Pandyas, the later cholas and the later Pandyas extended their patronage for the construction of the temples.

VANAVIL ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 Educatng Nomadic Children Vanavil School, Keezhakarayiruppu Village, Sikkal Post, Nagapattinam District, Tamil Nadu, India 611108. Phone 04365 - 245417 (9am to 5pm) Email: [email protected] Website: http://www.vanavil.org1 In twelve years we have touched the lives of more than 500 children from the periphery of the society. Rescued over 200 children from the clutches of child begging and child labour We work with the most marginalised and almost completely invisible nomadic tribal communities We have developed an innovative model of education for children who never get a chance with education We have successfully completed 12 years of providing education and livelihood to the nomadic communities. Outreach centres for nomadic tribal children in Porakudi and Neelapadi We are now a family of 260 which includes the students, teachers and non-teaching staff. 2 The Lakshmi stories... Vanavil’s story started with a Lakshmi in 2005. She was this four month old infant we met during our volunteering in the aftermath of the Asian Tsunami 2004 which ravaged Nagapattinam to ground zero. Lakshmi was carried by her elder sister Murugammal who came to beg from us in the Nagapattinam bus stand. The idea of Vanavil (without that colorful name) germinated from our desire to give Lakshmi a chance at life. We took her to hospitals, got her healthy food supplements but eventually lost her a few months later when she succumbed to Pneumonitis and other medical complications arising out of her malnourished infancy. We have another Lakshmi story to share with you all. Of course as many of you know by now, we nevertheless went ahead and started Vanavil to give the other children from the nomadic communities a chance at health, education and happiness. -
Catholic Shrines in Chennai, India: the Politics of Renewal and Apostolic Legacy
CATHOLIC SHRINES IN CHENNAI, INDIA: THE POLITICS OF RENEWAL AND APOSTOLIC LEGACY BY THOMAS CHARLES NAGY A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies Victoria University of Wellington (2014) Abstract This thesis investigates the phenomenon of Catholic renewal in India by focussing on various Roman Catholic churches and shrines located in Chennai, a large city in South India where activities concerning saintal revival and shrinal development have taken place in the recent past. The thesis tracks the changing local significance of St. Thomas the Apostle, who according to local legend, was martyred and buried in Chennai. In particular, it details the efforts of the Church hierarchy in Chennai to bring about a revival of devotion to St. Thomas. In doing this, it covers a wide range of issues pertinent to the study of contemporary Indian Christianity, such as Indian Catholic identity, Indian Christian indigeneity and Hindu nationalism, as well as the marketing of St. Thomas and Catholicism within South India. The thesis argues that the Roman Catholic renewal and ―revival‖ of St. Thomas in Chennai is largely a Church-driven hierarchal movement that was specifically initiated for the purpose of Catholic evangelization and missionization in India. Furthermore, it is clear that the local Church‘s strategy of shrinal development and marketing encompasses Catholic parishes and shrines throughout Chennai‘s metropolitan area, and thus, is not just limited to those sites associated with St. Thomas‘s Apostolic legacy. i Acknowledgements This thesis is dedicated to the memory of my father Richard M. -

A THESIS APPROVED FOR THE CHRISTOPHER C. GIBBS COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE BY THE COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF Callahan, Marjorie P., Chair Warnken, Charles G. Fithian, Lee A. ©Copyright by RAMYA PALANI 2019 All Rights Reserved. iv Abstract The Cholas (848 CE – 1279 CE) established an imperial line and united a large portion of what is now South India under their rule. The Cholas, known worldwide for their bronze sculptures, world heritage temples and land reforms, were also able builders. They followed a traditional systematic approach called Vaastu Sastra in building their cities, towns, and villages. In an attempt to discover and reconstruct Gangaikonda Cholapuram, an administrative capital (metropolis) of the Chola Dynasty, evidence is collected from the fragments of living inscriptions, epigraphs, archaeological excavation, secondary sources, and other sources pertinent to Vaastu Sastra. The research combines archival research methodology, archaeological documentation and informal architectural survey. The consolidation, analysis, and manipulation of data helps to uncover the urban infrastructure of Gangaikonda Cholapuram city.
