    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 16, Issue 3 1992 Article 10 Bachchan v. India Abroad Publication Inc.: The Clash Between Protection of Free Speech in the United States and Great Britain Gregory T. Walters∗ ∗ Copyright c 1992 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Bachchan v. India Abroad Publication Inc.: The Clash Between Protection of Free Speech in the United States and Great Britain Gregory T. Walters Abstract This Comment argues that, although the New York Supreme Court reached the correct opinion in Bachchan v. India Abroad Publ., but the scope of the court’s decision must be limited limited in its application with respect to future enforcement proceedings involving non-U.S. libel judgments. Part I examines the contrasting defamation standards in the United States and Great Britain, and details the concept of comity. Part II sets forth the factual and procedural history of the case and examines the opinion of the court. Part III analyzes the Bachchan decision and argues that, while the result was appropriate to the facts before the court, its application must be limited in future libel cases. This Comment concludes that future enforcement of non-U.S. libel judgments should be subject to a constitutional analysis on a case-by-case basis. BACHCHAN v.

    DESIS ON A SPECTRUM: THE POLITICAL AGENDAS OF SOUTH ASIAN AMERICANS A Thesis Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Sheena Sood May 2019 Thesis Approvals: Dr. Michelle Byng, Advisory Chair, Sociology Dr. Kimberly Goyette, Sociology Dr. Rebbeca Tesfai, Sociology Dr. Sangay Mishra, External Member, Drew University i © Copyright 2019 By Sheena Sood All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Desis and Racial Minority Politics: Disrupting Assumptions of Ethnoracial Solidarity By this point in the Twenty-First century, many of us have likely heard the following at least once in our familial circles or social networks: “2042!” (give or take a few digits), “The year that people of color will be the majority! People of color are going to unite, and whites will no longer be in power!” Before beginning my data collection process in 2015, while I understood racial solidarity could not be implied through a mere sense of shared cultural consciousness as people of color, I still felt a glimmer of hope that a “majority people of color” population could shift the nation away from a historically (and reemerging) white supremacist legacy. By the time I finished collecting data, reminders about this demographic shift were ubiquitous. They surfaced in conversations with participants – and in my broader social and academic networks. Now, as my dissertation comes to a close, my mind gravitates to a specific “people of color” subgroup that is the focus of this study. I contemplate what role South Asian Americans,1 often referred to as Desis, will play in this significant transformation.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: ENCULTURATION
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: ENCULTURATION AND ACCULTURATION OF TELEVISION USE AMONG ASIAN INDIANS IN THE U.S. Indira S. Somani, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Directed By: Dr. Don Heider Associate Professor, Associate Dean Philip Merrill College of Journalism University of Maryland, College Park This study explored how a cohort of Asian Indians who migrated to the U.S. nearly 40 years ago have become acculturated to watching Indian television via the satellite dish. The study used the integrative communication theory and how two concepts of the theory relate to adaptation: enculturation, the process of socialization individuals undergo in their native culture; and acculturation, the process in which newcomers acquire some, but not all, aspects of their new host culture (Kim, 2001). Oral history interviews were conducted with 10 couples who migrated to the U.S. between 1960 and 1972 in the Washington Metro area to understand their media use over the past 40 years and why they watch Indian television via the satellite dish. The study produced findings that described how these Asian Indians used American television to acculturate to the U.S.; as well as how this cohort learned the act of watching television. Another finding was that the portrayal of India and Indian culture in American media was stereotypical. The third finding showed described how these Asian Indians maintained their sense of Indian culture through using other forms of media and cultural practices. The fourth finding demonstrated how Asian Indians discovered a new way to stay connected to their culture, particularly in real time as they watched Indian programming via the satellite dish.

  • How the Hindus Became Jews: American Racism After 9/11
    Trinity College Trinity College Digital Repository Faculty Scholarship Summer 2005 How the Hindus Became Jews: American Racism After 9/11 Vijay Prashad Trinity College, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/facpub Part of the American Studies Commons Vijay Prashad How the Hindus Became Jews: American Racism after 9/11 In November 2001, I traveled to Washington, DC, for the second Annual South Asian Literary Festival. At a panel discussion, someone asked me a pointed question: ‘‘Last year you had come here to promote your book, Karma of Brown Folk, and spent quite a long time being critical of the concept of the model minority. Now, with all these desis being harassed after 9/11, what do you think of our being a model minority?’’ Certainly, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, not to speak of the Indian Ameri- can press and the social network of rumor, had alertedustothelargenumberofdesis (those who claim South Asian origin) who have been hassled by airlines, by the police, and by strangers—all wary of those of us who look like terrorists. In a comprehensive review of over a thousand hate attacks on Arabs and desis, Human Rights Watch noted, ‘‘This violence was directed at people solely because they shared or were perceived as sharing the national background or religion of the hijackers and al-Qaeda members deemed responsible for attacking the World Trade Center 1 and the Pentagon.’’ A report from the South Asian American Leaders for Tomorrow found that in the week after 9/11, the U.S.
