This study examines the maning of home for 19 Hindu Gujarati immigrant women living in the Montréal subuhan municipalii of Dollarddes-ûmaux. Adopting a qualitative approach, this study redefines home as a rnulopie and dynamic concept, mfem'ng not only to îhe house but dso the homeland, neighbourhood, culturai community and even the abstract feeling of beknging or being 'at home.' While this study concentrates on the men'spresent homes and neighbourhoods, the idea of the home as being reinvented across a variety of spaces and social relationships is a central theme. Homaking is argued to be an evolving social pmcess that begins in the chiidhoad and marital homes in lndia and continues with the transition into new homes in Monheal. The house and home spaces (the neighbourhood and cultural community) are sites where multiple dimensions of the wmen's identities are given a voice and reinvented. The women define the character of the home spaces, and also negotiate culture, etfinicity and identity within them. Through the construction of hybrid cultural identities, the women are able to make themselves and their families 'at home' belween cultures. This study points to cumplex and sometimes paradoxical meanings of home, and emphasizes the significance of the suburban, rather than inner city. quality of home-making and adaptation processes among immigrant women in Montréal. Ce mémoire examine la signification don* au concept de 'maison' ou du 'chez-soi' par dix-neuf (19) femmes immigrantes Gujaraü qui demeurent dans la municipalité de dellarddes-Ormeaux dans la banlieue de Montréal. En suivant l'approche guaMative, cette étude redéfini la maison en tant que concept multiple et dynamique, se référant non seulement a l'élément batil mais aussi B la patrie, à la communauté culhidie et même au sentiment abstrait d'appartenance ou d'être chez soi. Bien que cette étude se concentre sur les maisons et les quartiers actuels de ces femmes, l'idée que le concept de maison soit réinventé a baven une multitude d'espaces et de relations sociales est un theme centrai. Créer un chez4 est un processus dynamique qui dW dans la maison d'enfance et maritale en Inde, et qui se transforme lors de la transition les domiciles montréalais. Les espaces de la maison et du chez-soi (induant le quartier et la communauté culturelle) sont des lieux ou les dimensions multiples d'une identité sont arüculeés et réinventées. Les femmes définissent le caractère des lieux de leur maison, et négocient aussi leur culture. leur qualité ethnique et leur identité. Par la construction d'une identité culturelle hybride, une femme est capable de rendre sa famille et elk-même 'chez soi' entre la culture d'origine et la culture d'accueil. Cette étude désigne les significations complexes et parfois paradoxales du concept de maison et souligne i'impartance de la banlieue, plutôt que le centreville, la qualité de la création d'un chez-soi et les processus d'adaptation parmi les femmes immigrantes a Montréal.

Every Issue deals with a single topic comprehensively sharing views from a wide spectrum ranging from academicians to policy makers to scholars. The magazine is essential to build an in-depth understanding of various socio-economic issues. From the exam point of view, however, not all articles are important. Some go into scholarly depths and others discuss agendas that are not relevant for your preparation. Added to this is the difficulty of going through a large volume of information, facts and analysis to finally extract their essence that may be useful for the exam. We are not discouraging from reading the magazine itself. So, do not take this as a document which you take read, remember and reproduce in the examination. Its only purpose is to equip you with the right understanding. But, if you do not have enough time to go through the magazines, you can rely on the content provided here for it sums up the most essential points from all the articles. You need not put hours and hours in reading and making its notes in pages. We believe, a smart study, rather than hard study, can improve your preparation levels.

  • Journal16-2.Pdf
    Institute of Town Planners, India Journal 16 x 2, April - June 2019 ISSN : 0537 - 9679 Editorial This issue contains six papers. The first paper is on “Affordable Housing Provision in the Context of Kolkata Metropolitan Area’’, and is authored by Joy Karmakar who highlights Government of India’s mission of affordable housing for all citizens by 2022. He argues that the mission has become a major talking point for the people including policy makers to private developers to scholars at different levels. The idea of affordability and affordable housing has been defined by various organizations over the years but no unanimous definition has emerged. The need for affordable housing in the urban area is not new to India and especially mega cities like Kolkata. The paper revisits and assesses the affordable housing provision in Kolkata Metropolitan Area and how the idea of affordable housing provision has evolved over the years. It becomes clear from the analysis that the role of the state in providing affordable housing to urban poor has not only been reduced but shifted to the middle class. The second paper titled “Property Tax: Role of Technology in Process Improvement, Transparency and Revenue Enhancement’’ is written by Dinesh Ahlawat, Saurav Sen and Akshat Jain, discusses property tax reforms with a focus on current assessment, collection and record keeping of property tax data in the ULBs and how these issues can be resolved with the adoption of streamlined processes and use of technology. The author explains that property tax is evaluated differently for different properties. Presently, the traditional methods for tax assessment are causing delays in the process, a large number of unassessed properties remain, and several properties are not assessed correctly due to dependency on manual efforts.

  • A Multi-Disciplinary Argument for the Mental Nature of Reality Author
    NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED STUDIES LIBRARY NEW ARRIVALS 1 January 2020 SL.No TITLE ABSTRACT 1 The Idea of the World: A Multi-Disciplinary A rigorous case for the primacy of mind in nature, from philosophy to neuroscience, psychology and physics. The Idea of the World Argument for the Mental Nature of Reality offers a grounded alternative to the frenzy of unrestrained abstractions and unexamined assumptions in philosophy and science today. This book examines what can be learned about the nature of reality based on conceptual parsimony, straightforward logic and empirical evidence from fields as diverse as physics and neuroscience. It compiles an overarching case for idealism - the notion that Author: Bernardo Kastrup reality is essentially mental - from ten original articles the author has previously published in leading academic journals. The case Publisher: Iff Books begins with an exposition of the logical fallacies and internal contradictions of the reigning physicalist ontology and its popular Year: 2019 alternatives, such as bottom-up panpsychism. It then advances a compelling formulation of idealism that elegantly makes sense of - and reconciles - classical and quantum worlds. The main objections to idealism are systematically refuted and empirical evidence is Call Number: 110 reviewed that corroborates the formulation presented here. The book closes with an analysis of the hidden psychological motivations KAS behind mainstream physicalism and the implications of idealism for the way we relate to the world. 17852 Recommended by: Dr Nithin Nagaraj 2 Holy Science : The Biopolitics of Hindu Behind the euphoric narrative of India as an emerging world power lies a fascinating but untold story of an evolving relationship Nationalism between Science and religion.
