  • 3.1 INTRODUCTION This Chapter Concentrates on the Buddhists
    I l l nr h e : q u d d h i s t s Ei-rnfsjic i oeim t i t y I 3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter concentrates on the Buddhists' ways of maintaining their new identity. The Mahars got a new framework for ethnic identity by embracing Buddhism. Patwardhan's (1973) study reported that 9 0 ’/. of the respondents from her sample declared themselves as Buddhists while only 1 0 ’/. considered themselves as Mahars. Interestingly, in the present study all the respondents (100’/.) have identified themselves as Buddhists. Gokhale's (1993) study maintains that the rejection of all Hindu traditions was the most important and outstanding feature of the self identification among Buddhists. In this context, Arun Sadhu (Nov. 1975) wrote in the Time* of India; "They (the Buddhists) seem to have got rid of their age old inferiority complex. They have a fresh sense of identity and a newly acquired confidence. What is more, the youth among them have completely shed the superstitions that had cramped their existence, and have adopted a more rational view of life". The Buddhists have made a great deal of effort to 70 learn and practise the customs, rites and rituals of Buddhism. Gokhale <1993) noted that the elite among them codified the new ideology through written words, new institutions, articles and books on Buddhism. The religious specialists were trained for guiding the people about Dhamma. They circulated pamphlets on the topic. The photograph of Dr. Ambedkar and Buddha can be found on the cover page of almost all the publications by the Buddhists.

  • China's Space Robotic Arm Programs
    SITC Bulletin Analysis October 2013 China’s Space Robotic Arm Programs Kevin POLLPETER Deputy Director, Study of Innovation and Technology in China Project UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation On July 20, 2013, China launched three satellites on a Long March 4C launch vehicle, ostensibly to test space debris observation and space robotic arm technologies. The three satellites, Chuangxin-3, Shiyan-7, and Shijian-15, drew the attention of satellite tracking enthusiasts when two of them began conducting orbital maneuvers with each other and an additional satellite that had been launched in 2005. The maneuvers began on August 1 and involved one satellite acting as the target and another satellite, most likely equipped with a robotic arm, grappling the target satellite. Exactly which two of the three satellites were involved in the maneuvers is unknown. Based on data from the U.S. Strategic Command’s Space-Track.org website, however, the largest satellite of the three, possibly the Shijian-15, fired its thrusters to move to the smallest of the three satel- lites, possibly the Chuangxin-3, which remained in a set orbit.1 The third satellite, possibly the Shiyan-7, does not appear to be involved in the test. These maneuvers continued until August 17 and resulted in the largest satellite closing in on and then away from the smallest satellite. On August 18, the largest satellite changed orbits and closed in on a completely separate satellite, the Shijian-7, that had been launched in 2005. These maneuvers have caused concern that the tests go beyond the stated objectives and are actually a cover for testing on-orbit anti-satellite (ASAT) technologies.
