President and Editor ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ VOL. 2, # 3 MARCH, 2020 NFIA LAUNCHES A NEW INTERNSHIP PROGRAM NATIONALLY DURING SUMMER SCHOOL BREAK: In an effort to involve youth to work during summer with NFIA, when school is out, and also with elected officials, an internship program is planned. Program’s goal is to cultivate promising and interested youth through innovative leadership opportunities to help build a pipeline of future leaders for NFIA and or the community at large – a pipeline of great and innovative minds who may help in getting the message of NFIA out – a message of civic leadership and community engagement. In order to test-drive the program, a small batch of students, between the ages of 18- 29, will be selected in four to five locations. NFIA hopes that internship program and its benefits to students may bring new interest from parents and students and they may try to look for NFIA’s mission and its interest in community building. A service to the community that has provided the Indian immigrants to build a career here in the United States of America and now these individuals are capable and willing in helping the community first by being good citizens of this land of opportunity, also by being successful as entrepreneurs who are capable of creating employment opportunities for others, and are interested in paying back to the community that has helped them to climb the professional, educational, and career ladder. Students identified in different areas will have coordinators who will help them succeed during their internship period, counsel them, and at the end of their internship officially and publicly award a certificate of completion from NFIA. A stipend will also be provided so that they stay motivated and shadow the staff of an elected official. This opportunity may open their minds to all the fields that can become open for them once they are exposed to the field of civic engagement. Page 1 of 11 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ For criteria to qualify for internship in New York/New Jersey, Washington Metro, Boston Massachusetts, and Los Angeles CA, are some of the areas who have expressed interest in hosting an intern with an elected official and more are likely to join. More information will be forthcoming.

Page 3 of 11 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ TWO NFIA STALWARTS WERE DISTINGUISHED FOR THEIR EXEMPLARY LONG SERVICE TO NFIA AND COMMUNITY: NFIA was established in 1980 and its leaders have given years of service to the association. Present leadership has benefitted from the work and the sacrifices the leaders of those days made to have a large membership base as well as the name recognition for the projects that they undertook. On March 8, 2020, two stalwarts were felicitated for their exemplary contributions to community by NFIA publicly. Dr. Parthasarathy Pillai Dr. Parthasarathy Pillai came from a village in Alleppey district of Kerala. After completing high school in the village, he earned his Bachelor ’s degree from Madras University and his master’s from Anand Agricultural University in Gujarat and Ph.D. from Benares Hindu University. In between he also taught at a high school. During his student period in Gujarat he met Ann Vazhapealli, a Malayalee student of nursing. In the mid1960s Dr. Pillai came as a postdoctoral fellow to the Auburn University in Alabama. Later, Ann arrived in Boston as a student. They were married in Boston in 1970. Dr. Pillai, after getting a job in the Federal Government, moved to Washington and Ann followed. After retirement Dr. Pillai participated in the Democratic Party and was elected as a Committee Member. He is a former president of NFIA and has been involved in the organization from the beginning. He is passionately involved in building an India Community Center for the Indian American community in the Metropolitan Washington area. The Government of India bestowed upon Dr. Pillai the prestigious Pravashi Bharatiya Dibas Award in 2014. Dr. Joydeb Roy Dr. Joydeb Roy is one of the most senior members of the Indian- American Community in the Washington metropolitan area. Before immigrating to the US in 1968 Dr Roy had already lived here as a Fulbright scholar from India in different parts of the country. While in California he met a beautiful, brilliant scientist named Y. V. Sathyabhama Devi from Mysore, India. They were married in 1964.

This paper attempts to examine and analyze a stand-up comedy and two sitcoms respectively, by focusing on two specific questions: How do their performances construct a sense of their own identity as Canadians or as Americans? What role does the genre of ethnic comedy or humor play in creating an anti-racist discourse? Meera Ashar, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Show or Tell? Performance as Instruction in Govardhanram’s Saraswatichandra This paper argues that the use of the literary form of the novel and the idiom of Reform are impelled by a similar drive towards re-presentation and pedagogy and away from an understanding of instruction that has its roots in action-knowledge.

July 2018 Number of words: 94,887 Abstract My dissertation develops a new perspective on Arab American cultural histories during the early to mid-20th century in the US. I focus mostly on Syrian and Lebanese American women in the Northeast and their strategies of self-representation. Archival traces of these women’s public visibility are scarce and distributed across a wide range of media: photography, reader comments, correspondence, club minutes or unpublished memoirs. Through adaptive agency women select and incorporate widely legible elements of hegemonic, racialized tropes of womanhood in their cultural, narrative or embodied forms of self-representation. These adaptive choices can be traced across different kinds of archival material and thus reveal how Arab American women positioned themselves in the US cultural sphere.

  • 1 South Asian Migration to the U.S. Syllabus the Center for Asian American Studies, the University of Texas at Austin AAS325 (
    South Asian Migration to the U.S. Syllabus The Center for Asian American Studies, The University of Texas at Austin AAS325 (35865) /ANS372 (31540) /HIS365G (39545) Fall 2011 Instructor: Amber H. Abbas Course Description: This course will introduce students to the major themes in Asian American Studies including Migration, Assimilation, Acculturation, Multiculturalism, Discrimination, Gender and Sexuality. The course begins with an examination of the push-pull factors of migration by looking at the broader world of South Asian migration worldwide. Our study quickly narrows in on the early Sikh migration to the American West Coast. The liberalization of American immigration law in the 1960s provides the platform for continuing the discussion of push-pull factors of migration and sets the stage for a thorough examination of the 1960s migration of South Asian Americans from various states in the subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal). These migrants and their offspring populate the remainder of our study as we examine the particulars of their experience. Our study will break these problems down into thematic units: family, youth, the elderly, labor and work, depictions in popular culture, gender and sexuality and faith. In several final sessions of the class, we will look beyond America’s effect on South Asian emigrants to the effect of South Asians on American culture. Ultimately, we will consider the implications and possibilities of the new trend of Return wherein South Asian Americans consider pursuing careers in the land of their parents’ or grandparents’ birth. This course carries the flag for Cultural Diversity in the United States. Cultural Diversity courses are designed to increase your familiarity with the variety and richness of the American cultural experience.
