This year sees the return of pil- grims from Iran, regional rival to powerhouse Saudi Arabia, and comes with the Gulf mired in political crisis and Islamic State group militants squeezed in Iraq and Syria. “I’m so excited because many people dream of coming to this place,” said 47-year-old Eni from Indonesia, her face framed in a sand-colored veil trimmed with lace. “We feel more religious when we leave this place,” she said. Indonesia is the world’s most populous Muslim nation, and it also provides the largest number of pil- grims for the hajj. Eni’s compatriots throng Jeddah air- port 80 km west of Makkah, as tens of thousands of pil- grims pass through the gateway to the hajj every day. But Eni is almost oblivious to the hubbub that sur- rounds her as she studies her Holy Quran in the oppres- sive heat, pearls of sweat beading her face. “After my first pilgrimage I felt I wanted to come back to feel myself close to him,” she said of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) before returning her attention to the holy book. The hajj is one of the five pillars of the Islamic faith, which every Muslim is required to complete at least once in a lifetime if he or she has the means to do so. “This year we expect around two million pilgrims,” KUWAIT: HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah Abdelmajeed Mohammad Al-Afghani, director of hajj meets Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov yesterday. and umrah (lesser pilgrimage) affairs, told AFP.

  • The Notion of Song, Identities, Discourses, and Power
    The Notion of Song, Identities, Discourses, and Power: Bridging Songs with Literary Texts to Enhance Students’ Interpretative Skills Elroy Alister Esdaille Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Elroy Alister Esdaille All Rights Reserved Abstract Sometimes students struggle to interpret literary texts because some of these texts do not lend themselves to the deduction of the interpretative processes with which they are familiar, but the same is not true when students pull interpretations from songs. Is it possible that students’ familiarity with songs might enable them to connect a song with a book and aid interpretation that way? This study attempted to explore the possibility of bridging songs to literary texts in my Community College English classroom, to ascertain if or how the use of song can support or extend students’ interpretive strategies across different types of texts. I investigated how songs might work as a bridge to other texts, like novels, and, if the students use songs as texts, to what extent do the students develop and hone their interpretative skills? Because of this, how might including songs as texts in English writing or English Literature curriculum contribute to the enhancement of students’ writing? The students’ responses disclosed that the songs appealed to their cognition and memories and helped them to interpret and write about the novels they read. Moreover, the students’ responses revealed that pairing or matching songs with novels strengthened interpretation of the book in a plethora of ways, such as meta-message deduction, applying contexts, applying comparisons, and examining thematic correlations.

    Country Advice India India – IND38924 – Dera Sacha Sauda (DSS) – 2007 Riots – Police Protection – Punjab – Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) 11 July 2011 1. Please provide background information on Sant Gurmeet Ram Rahim singh or any movement linked to him/it. Sant Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh is the current leader (or Guru Ji) of the Dera Sacha Sauda (DSS) religious organisation, a Sikh breakaway sect.1 The DSS was founded in 1948 by a Sikh leader “with an eye to social reform and spiritual purification…among Sikhs in particular, but also others”.2 Sources indicate that DSS combines aspects of various religions and aims to free its followers from caste and religious identity. Most of its followers come from Sikh backgrounds, though the sect also includes former Muslims and Christians. Reports offer highly variant figures on the number of adherents, with estimates ranging from several hundred thousand to tens of millions; the higher numbers tend to come from DSS sources. The DSS is based in Sirsa, Haryana state in northern India.3 A Times of India article from 18 May 2007 notes that there are DSS followers in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, HP, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi and Chandigarh.4 Sant Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh is a controversial figure. He has been charged with at least one count of rape and three separate counts of murder.5 The High Court of Punjab and Haryana website lists forty „case numbers‟ for Sant Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh pending from 2007 to 1 „Huzoor Pita Sant Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan‟ n.d, Dera Sacha Sauda website, http://derasachasauda.org/en/guru-ji/saint-gurmeet-ram-rahim-singh-ji-insan.html – Accessed 11 July 2011 – Attachment 1; Alig, Asif Anwar & Anwar, Abid 2007, „Embers of a Sikh fire‟, Himal South Asian, October http://www.himalmag.com/2007/october_november/embers_of_a_sikh_fire.html – Accessed 9 October 2007 [note: website could not be accessed on 5 July 2011] – Attachment 2.
