  • ONE WOMAN's STORY by ROBIN RAMSAY
    LL GENDERED MOBILITY: ONE WOMAN’S STORY by ROBIN RAMSAY FOWLER BA., The University of British Columbia, 1987 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of Anthropology and Sociology) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1994 Robin Ramsay Fowler In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. (Signature) Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date ? ?c DE.6 (2188) Abstract The turnings, experiences and adaptations of one woman’s evolving life history show the degree to which mobility can be achieved and, when necessary, camouflaged in a variety of situations where the physical and ideological movement of women is severely constrained. As a thematic device, gendered mobility offers a useful lens through which gendered experience can be viewed. The experiences of a woman living in a conservative Muslim community in South Asia frame a vocation of mobility and mobilisation. The story reveals a situated and subjective perspective recorded through the methods of life history and participant observation.

  • Youth Human Rights Awareness Program
    Youth Human Rights Awareness Program Backdrop Over the past 62 years, Pakistan has experienced few periods of extended democratic rule. Military in Pakistan has developed vested interest in power sharing and ruling the country. Military governments in Pakistan have routinely nurtured and manipulated the extreme religious right as a tool to stifle the development of democratic and secular institutions in Pakistan. The state has also failed to provide basic educational opportunities for its citizens, leaving a vacuum that is increasingly filled by extremist religious parties and institutions, including madrassas, or Islamic schools. While r e l i g i o u s extremists are still a small minority, their increasing social and political influence threatens civil society organizations working to develop a more democratic Pakistan. Pakistan, the nerve center of religious extremism around the world, is ominously a child majority country, too. 60 % of its population happens to be below 18 years of age. Pakistan’s education system was never ideal. In Pakistan today, the vast majority of information sources, including state-sponsored educational curricula and media, support the cultivation of social and cultural conservatism. Public support for isolationist and intolerant causes in Pakistan is growing. Rampant unemployment, illiteracy and social injustice have driven hordes of young men towards assorted forms of fundamentalism. Religious institutions including seminaries, mosques and not-so-secret offices of armed outfits have registered mushroom growth. Weak political, academic and social ambience renders the young people into an easy target for the fundamentalist forces. On the other hand, the moderates, liberals and enlightened segments have failed into developing the mechanisms to combat the hazards of this situation.

  • Kashmiriyat, Featured Culture of Bhakti-Sufi-Rishi Singhs, and an Junoon and the Music Concert India/Pakistan Artists
    KASHMIRIYAT couv Janv 09:Layout 1 8/04/09 11:58 Page 1 Madanjeet Singh The two unique and memorable events that South Asia Foundation (SAF) organized in Srinagar to commemorate the Bhakti-Sufi-Rishi culture of Kashmiriyat, featured a jointly held India/Pakistan music concert Junoon and the Singhs, and an unprecedented exhibition of paintings by South Asian women artists. Madanjeet Singh narrates an account of these events, providing insights into age-old links between the music and art of South Asia and the pluralist culture and legacy of Kashmiriyat. KASHMIRIYAT Madanjeet Singh was born on 16 April 1924 in Lahore, present-day Pakistan. A well-known painter and a distinguished photographer, he is an internationally known author of several books on art and other subjects, closely interwoven with UNESCO’s programmes, principles and ideals. During Mahatma Gandhi’s ‘Quit India’ movement in 1942 against colonial rule, Madanjeet Singh was imprisoned. He later migrated to newly partitioned India in 1947 and worked in a refugee camp. He joined the Indian Foreign Service in 1953 and served as Ambassador of India in Asia, South America, Africa and Europe before joining UNESCO in1982, based in Paris. South Asia Foundation At the inaugural ceremony of the Institute of Kashmir Studies on 26 May 2008, Madanjeet Singh presented President Pratibha In 1995, in recognition of his lifelong devotion to the cause of Patil with a copy of his book, This My People, to which Prime communal harmony and peace, the UNESCO Executive Board Minister Jawaharlal Nehru handwrote a preface, shortly after created the biennial ‘UNESCO-Madanjeet Singh Prize for the India’s Partition in 1947.
