  • Playback Singers of Bollywood and Hollywood
    ILLUSION AND REALITY: PLAYBACK SINGERS OF BOLLYWOOD AND HOLLYWOOD By MYRNA JUNE LAYTON Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY in the subject MUSICOLOGY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA. SUPERVISOR: PROF. M. DUBY JANUARY 2013 Student number: 4202027-1 I declare that ILLUSION AND REALITY: PLAYBACK SINGERS OF BOLLYWOOD AND HOLLYWOOD is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. SIGNATURE DATE (MRS M LAYTON) Preface I would like to thank the two supervisors who worked with me at UNISA, Marie Jorritsma who got me started on my reading and writing, and Marc Duby, who saw me through to the end. Marni Nixon was most helpful to me, willing to talk with me and discuss her experiences recording songs for Hollywood studios. It was much more difficult to locate people who work in the Bollywood film industry, but two people were helpful and willing to talk to me; Craig Pruess and Deepa Nair have been very gracious about corresponding with me via email. Lastly, putting the whole document together, which seemed an overwhelming chore, was made much easier because of the expert formatting and editing of my daughter Nancy Heiss, sometimes assisted by her husband Andrew Heiss. Joe Bonyata, a good friend who also happens to be an editor and publisher, did a final read-through to look for small details I might have missed, and of course, he found plenty. For this I am grateful.

  • 'Women in Conflict: Kashmir Through Women's Eyes'
    Kashmir Conference in the European Parliament ‘Women in Conflict: Kashmir through women’s eyes’ REPORT Brussels, 8 April 2014 1 ‘Women in Conflict: Kashmir through women’s eyes’ 2 Brussels, 8 April 2014 “Women in Conflict: Kashmir through Women’s Eyes” was a Conference designed to shed light on the role and condition of women in Kashmir. It brought together prominent Kashmiri activists and intellectuals to discuss the latest situation concerning the particular issue of women’s human rights in the occupied Kashmir (IOK). MEP Sajjad Karim hosted the event, which took place in the venues of the European Parliament in Brussels. Co-host and organiser was Ali Raza Syed, Chairman of ICHD and Kashmir Council EU. Quoting Ali Raza Syed: ‘A women’s eye is the eye of the soul. It is the third eye of a society that can see the deepest realities and can foresee the future. The colours of the eyes of the women of any nation reflect the colours of the collective soul. The women of Kashmir have chosen to come out for their rights and freedom because they see no hope for their generation under the tyranny of a ruthless power. This way, you see two colours in the eyes of the women, the colour of sadness and the colour of commitment. And today’s conference shall give you many opportunities to see these two colours’. Guests who spoke on the occasion: Sajjad KARIM, MEP host of the event Ali Raza SYED, Chairman ICDH & Kashmir Council EU Khaoula SIDDIQI, Co-founder of SILK Shamila MAHMOOD, Senior Legal Consultant Farzana YAQOOB, Minister of Social Affairs in the Government of Azad Jammu Kashmir Sadia MIR, Lecturer at University of London Jolanda BRUNNEKREEF, Gender & Diversity Expert Danielle CARON, MP Brussels Parliament Marjan LUCAS, Human Rights Activist (moderator) Preface This report summarizes what has been said and done on the occasion of the Conference ‘Kashmir Through Women’s Eyes’, of April 8th 2014, in Brussels - capital city of the European Union.
