  • Decentralisation and Urban Primary Health Services: a Case Study of Delhi’S Mohalla Clinics
    RESEARCH and EVALUATION (PEER REVIEWED) Decentralisation and urban primary health services: a case study of Delhi’s Mohalla Clinics Commonwealth Journal of Local Governance Issue 23: 2020 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/ojs/index.php/cjlg Sejal Patel Faculty of Planning CEPT University Ahmedabad 380009 India Email: [email protected]. Priyankita Pant Faculty of Planning CEPT University Ahmedabad 380009 India Email: [email protected] Abstract The Indian political party Aam Aadmi, which assumed power in the city-state of Delhi in 2015, introduced Mohalla Clinics (i.e. neighbourhood clinics) to provide free primary health services for all, as a response to the rising inaccessibility of primary healthcare facilities for the urban poor. These clinics were to be governed through Mohalla Sabhas (i.e. neighbourhood committees), which are instruments of participatory governance within the neighbourhood. The research compares promises and practice for Mohalla Clinics, especially focusing on governance and the politics surrounding it. The authors find that in their current form Mohalla Clinics are limited to providing primary curative healthcare and have shown limited success, although Mohalla Clinic users do save time and expenditure on primary healthcare, and the clinics have led to a more comprehensive form of primary healthcare than in the past. However, Mohalla Clinics are governed in a top-down fashion by the Government of the National Capital Territory-Delhi, and not by urban local bodies or the envisaged neighbourhood committees. As a result, they face problems that may inhibit their functioning in the long term.

  • Social Anthropology of Orissa: a Critique
    International Journal of Cross-Cultural Studies Vol. 2 No. 1 (June, 2016) ISSN: 0975-1173 www.mukpublications.com Social Anthropology of Orissa: A Critique Nava Kishor Das Anthropological Survey of India India ABSTRACT Orissa is meeting place of three cultures, Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, and Munda and three ethno- linguistic sections. There are both indigenous and immigrant components of the Brahmans, Karna, who resemble like the Khatriyas, and others. The theory that Orissa did not have a viable Kshatriya varna has been critically considered by the historian -anthropologists. We will also see endogenous and exogenous processes of state formation. The Tribespeople had generally a two-tier structure of authority- village chief level and at the cluster of villages (pidha). Third tier of authority was raja in some places. Brahminism remained a major religion of Orissa throughout ages, though Jainism and Buddhism had their periods of ascendancy. There is evidence when Buddhism showed tendencies to merge into Hinduism, particularly into Saivism and Saktism. Buddhism did not completely die out, its elements entered into the Brahmanical sects. The historians see Hinduisation process intimately associated with the process of conversion, associated with the expansion of the Jagannatha cult, which co-existed with many traditions, and which led to building of Hindu temples in parts of tribal western Orissa. We notice the co-existence of Hinduisation/ peasantisation/ Kshatriyaisation/ Oriyaisation, all operating variously through colonisation. In Orissa, according to Kulke it was continuous process of ‘assimilation’ and partial integration. The tribe -Hindu caste intermingling is epitomised in the Jagannatha worship, which is today at the centre of Brahminic ritual and culture, even though the regional tradition of Orissa remaining tribal in origin.

  • Bridging Disconnected Knowledges for Community Health
    Bridging Disconnected Knowledges for Community Health AZRA ISMAIL, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA NAVEENA KARUSALA, University of Washington, USA NEHA KUMAR, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA We present a qualitative inquiry of the Mohalla (neighborhood) Clinics introduced by the government of Delhi (India) to improve access to healthcare among the “weakest sections of society”. We share our findings from fieldwork conducted in and around two Mohalla Clinics to understand the provision anduptakeof healthcare services and healthy practices, uncovering factors that obstruct access and adoption. We thus draw on and extend research that examines challenges facing public health infrastructures in underserved contexts by taking a critical feminist approach. Using Haraway’s lens of situated knowledges, we highlight the disconnects present across the partial perspectives of the clinics’ stakeholders, including the healthcare 75 providers, community health workers, and patient groups. We also analyze how these disconnects affect collaborations, negotiations, and contestations around healthcare. Finally, we provide takeaways from our research towards bridging disconnected knowledges by way of redesigning healthcare interventions, revisiting patient empowerment, and redefining the role of frontline health workers as key infomediaries.

  • The Debaprasad Das Tradition: Reconsidering the Narrative of Classical Indian Odissi Dance History Paromita Kar a Dissertation S
    THE DEBAPRASAD DAS TRADITION: RECONSIDERING THE NARRATIVE OF CLASSICAL INDIAN ODISSI DANCE HISTORY PAROMITA KAR A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN DANCE STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO DECEMBER 2013 @PAROMITA KAR, 2013 ii Abstract This dissertation is dedicated to theorizing the Debaprasad Das stylistic lineage of Indian classical Odissi dance. Odissi is one of the seven classical Indian dance forms recognized by the Indian government. Each of these dance forms underwent a twentieth century “revival” whereby it was codified and recontextualized from pre-existing ritualistic and popular movement practices to a performance art form suitable for the proscenium stage. The 1950s revival of Odissi dance in India ultimately led to four stylistic lineage branches of Odissi, each named after the corresponding founding pioneer of the tradition. I argue that the theorization of a dance lineage should be inclusive of the history of the lineage, its stylistic vestiges and philosophies as embodied through its aesthetic characteristics, as well as its interpretation, and transmission by present-day practitioners. In my theorization of the Debaprasad Das lineage of Odissi, I draw upon Pierre Bourdieu's theory of the habitus, and argue that Guru Debaprasad Das's vision of Odissi dance was informed by the socio-political backdrop of Oriya nationalism, in the context of which he choreographed, but also resisted the heavy emphasis on coastal Oriya culture of the Oriya nationalist movement. My methodology for the project has been ethnographic, supported by original archival research.
