Passports to Privilege: the English-Medium Schools in Pakistan
Peace and Democracy in South Asia, Volume 1, Number 1, January 2005. PASSPORTS TO PRIVILEGE: THE ENGLISH-MEDIUM SCHOOLS IN PAKISTAN TARIQ RAHMAN _____________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Based on two recent surveys of some selected urban areas of Pakistan, the author draws interesting conclusions in this article about the English-medium schools in Pakistan. The elites of the country have long realized the power of the English language and have even institutionalized the process of acquiring the same. As seen elsewhere in South Asia, the English-speaking elites of the country profess one thing about their national languages and practise something else for their own children. The craving for excellence in English language as a tool for a more successful life is not confined to the city elites but has penetrated the army, the air force, and the naval branches of a country that has frequently been ruled by army generals. It is also clear from this article that the privileged children of Pakistan are westernised in terms of lifestyle and liberal in attitude towards India, although after joining the state, they are seen supporting the militaristic policies of the state. _____________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION English is the official language of Pakistan. It is used in all domains of power - government, bureaucracy, military, judiciary, commerce, media, education and research - at the highest level. Because it is empowering to learn English, people all over the country are ready to invest in it for the future of their children. Because of this demand, all over the cities of Pakistan one can see boards advertising institutions which claim to be English-medium schools or tuition ‘centres’ claiming to teach spoken English and English for passing all kinds of examinations and interviews. -

Vasundhara Raje is the daughter of the late His Highness Jivaji Rao Scindia of Gwalior.

Duke-UNCCH Religion & Science Symposium
Duke-UNCCH Religion & Science Symposium KENAN-BIDDLE GRANT PROPOSAL Abdul Latif, Duke Class of 2016 Tafadzwa Matika, UNC-CH Class of 2016 Kehaan H Manjee, Duke Class of 2016 Advisor: Dr. Christy Lohr Sapp, Associate Dean of Religious Life, Duke University October 21st 2013 Duke-UNCCH Religion & Science Symposium EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Religion and Science are two subjects that heavily impact society. The relationship between the two is often tenuous, but always worth noting. Educational policy in many countries is affected by the perceived conflict between religion and science. Scientific biomedicine and traditional religious medicine interact with each other around the globe. Many students at universities like Duke and UNC grapple with reconciling their faith and their scientific studies. The Duke-UNC Religion and Science Symposium will provide a platform for professors interested in the intersection of the two subjects to present their findings, while also allowing students struggling with the subjects to raise their voices. The symposium aims to promote collaboration between Duke’s Religion department and UNC’s Religious Studies department, while also reaching out to other interdisciplinary departments/institutions at the two schools. It also aims to bring members of both student bodies together for intellectually stimulating discussions. Duke and UNC house America’s top religious studies departments, which puts us in a unique position to tap into the vast knowledge they have with regards to our topic of discussion. Various Duke and UNC faculty, students, and alums have already demonstrated interest in the field, including Dr. Randall Styers (Magic, Religion, and Science; Religion and Secularism), Dr. Ebrahim Moosa (Neurohumanities, Islam), UNC Alumni and Director of NIH Francis Collins. -

The Doon School Development Plan 2 Maintaining our pre-eminence: The Doon School Development Plan From its very inception and opening in 1935, The Doon School was clearly an Indian school, developing “…boys to serve a free and democratic India,” as articulated by Arthur Foot, the School’s first headmaster. Each aspect of the School was designed to prepare leaders who would build and serve a great nation. Boys from every background, caste, race, creed, and religion proudly sang the national anthem before it was adopted by a free India; boys and teachers were taught to value service before self; and secularism, discipline, and equality characterised the School’s playgrounds, houses, and classrooms long before these values reached other schools or the nation. -

The Doon School Weekly Saturday, August 16|Issue No
ESTABLıSHED ın 1936 The Doon School Weekly Saturday, August 16|Issue No. 2379 Regulars Interview Week Gone By Poetry 2 3 3 4 DISCOVERY WEEK AT CERN Preetam Mohan reports on the visit to CERN which took place during the holidays On the 15th of June, a group of nine boys escorted by Dr Ashish Dean left for Geneva, Switzerland to experience life in one of the finest institutions in the world in its field - European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN). It was a most exciting prospect as School had organized a program of such magnitude for the first time, and it was supported by the fact that all of us had an interest in the field of work explored at CERN. The five-day internship program kicked off at 0800 hours on the 16th of June, with us meeting some of the topmost authorities at CERN. The highlight was meeting the Director General, Dr Rolf Dieter Heuer himself. The ‘showcases of CERN’, the Microcosm and the Globe provided us a preview of what we might be staring at for the next five days. It, befittingly, related to the modern day applications and we were drawn into the origin and the thoughts that revolved around such discoveries. The day was organized in a way to expose us to what CERN’s aim is: exploring Fundamental questions such as ‘where do we come from?’ and ‘what are we made of?’ These gave the internship the intellectual gravitas that it deserved. After visiting the computing centre we learnt that India has two centers on the CERN radar and we were happy to know that so many countries had pooled in resources to further the cause of science through CERN. -
