[Paragraph No. I Audit Report (Railways) ~9681. 1.3. Pointing out that the Railways had run into a deficit, the Con1 mittee enquired whether the heavy over-capitalisation in the Railways that occurred during the third five-year plan which resultecl in heavy dividend liability to General Revenues was not responsible for the deficit. I'he Financial Commissioner (Railways) stated that the ~wincipalreason was that the traffic had not .incr&sgd according to antic ipations. The working expenses had also gone up because of repeated doscs of degrnm dlowance, increase in the cost of fuel, coal and dim1 oil. He admitted that they had not been able to get in recent years the return on the capital investment that they had been making and. thcv had actuaII* reached a wsition whm the deficit might increase. -- --- -.---- - - - - -- N.B.

  • 1 Revival of Indigenous Practices and Identity in 21St Century Inner Asia
    Revival of Indigenous Practices and Identity in 21st Century Inner Asia Amalia H. Rubin A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in International Studies University of Washington 2015 Committee: Sara Curran Wolfram Latsch Program Authorize to Offer Degree: International Studies 1 © Copyright 2015 Amalia H. Rubin 2 University of Washington Abstract Revival of Indigenous Practices and Identity in 21st Century Inner Asia Amalia H Rubin Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Sara Curran, Ph.D. Associate Professor of International Studies and Public Affairs Scholars and observers have noticed an emerging pattern in the world wherein communities that have suffered a period of cultural and religious repression, when faced with freedom, experience a sudden surge in certain aspects of cultural practice. The most interesting of these are the so-called “involuntary” practices, such as trance, and spontaneous spirit possession. Why is it that, in the period of freedom when many missionary groups, traditional and foreign, arrive to make claims on souls, we see a disproportionate resurgence of indigenous, non-missionary practices? And why especially those practices in which the practitioner has no conscious control? I aim to explore the significance of the revival of indigenous practices, both voluntary and involuntary, their connection to the assertion of cultural identity after a period of intense repression, and their significance to the formation of development and research approaches in such regions. In this paper, I will look at two examples of cultural revival: 3 Böö Mörgöl (commonly referred to as “Mongolian Shamanism” or “Tengerism”) in Ulaanbaatar, Republic of Mongolia, and the revival of Gesar cultural and religious practices in Kham, Tibet, primarily in Yushu, Qinghai province, China.

APPENDICES 2 Even before coming to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to pursue my master’s degree in urban planning, I was struggling to understand why and how out beloved city- Ulaanbaatar become the most polluted city in the world. It seemed to me that with the resources and opportunities we have as a country and with only three million people, we have a lot of potential to be living much better than we are now. Over the years, I learned that the ways in which our city is designed and formed has a lot to do with current housing issues. This triggered me to learn more about the underlying reasons of current urban development issues, especially housing issues and seek for possible solutions.
