And as a teacher of the Afro,Asian Wbrld (Social Studies 9), now renamed, as we have the want to do, Global Studies 1, I read, travelled, and studied in all the areas of the course except for India. This was to be my jewel in the academic crowri. Upon acceptance in early April of 1989, the United States Department of Education and USEFI (United States Educational Foundation in India), in particular, began inundat- ing me with pamphlets, suggested reading lists, articles, travel tips. This all culminated with a 2-plus day orientation program in Ifbshington, D.C. just prior to departure. Four former Indian FUlbrighters tried to further sensitize us to India by sharing their thoughts and experiences (slides, music, incense, remembrances). Visits to Indian restaurants and a collective greeting at the Indian Etbassy capped it off. D.C. to Delhi is a real "schlep" as they say in Yiddish. arrived at 3 A.M. the day after we left - add 91 hours of time zones (I still don't understand that time aberration), 15 hours +/- flight time, and a two-hour layover in Frankfurt, W. Germany. As much as I read about India, viewed videos and TV productions, spoke to my Indian students (Elmont Memorial High School is blessed with a growing population from the Sub, Continent, and several of my students offered me their orientation program to their forme; home), listenedto,gueried, heard from former FUlbrighters - nothing totally prepared me for the immensity of what is India. Indira Gandhi International Airport is like and unlike any airport in the world be it JFK, O'Hare, Or Dulles. Multitudes of humanity at 3 A.M.; a whirling endless movertent, but amidst that are people sleeping on the pavement. And, of course, the heat and humidity - it is instant (and a constant state of) meltdown. The difference between 3 A.M. and 3 P.M. (on that July day) is only a matter of a few degrees and a few percentage points; the temperature and humidity race each other towards 100. The smell of incense (by the end of the trip my olfactory (or is it old factory) could distinguish between jasmine, saffron, etc.) and the smell of urine reached my nostrils as we left the airport. Yes it's all there - beggars on the streets, pUblic defecation, the occasional lepers outside public monuments, the "holy" cows, ladies in saris with their forehead dot (bundis), saffron robed religious figures (sadhus) saying prayers, chanting mantras. One must not dwell on the negatives or what we have stereotyped India to be. Tb often our media, and we share the guilt by internalizing and accepting these short vignettes or terse commentaries as being universal, portray India as a land of beggars with immense poverty; but there is beauty, wealth, productivity, and industry. Wb look at India as India during the Raj, or the MLIghal dynasties- that faraway place in a faraway time, those bejeweled, bygcne days that mystify and captivate our imaginations. In a way India straddles time zones for much of rural India, village India as Oscar Lewis said, lives in an age gone by. But the urban India, Bombay, Delhi, Calcutta are like Paris, D.C., and New York. So India stands with one foot in the distant past and another in the 20th century. Arranged marriages, dowry deaths, caste obligations, exist side by side with Ntbel Prize experiments in light refraction, nuclear technology, and satellites being orbited around the earth. One aeasure of a society is to read its daily newspapers; India's newspapers range in quality from my favorites (the New York Times andNewsday) to the lower end of the journalistic spectrum (the pap one can scan while waiting at the super- market checkout line). There is no lack of choice and more encouraging is that there is freedom of the press. There is a vocal, verbal, loyal and otherwise, opposition with a full sociopolitical spectrum of viewpoints. As I read the daily papers (Indian Express, The Times of India, The Hindustan Times, TheHindu, The Statesman et al), I felt I was beginning to grasp the vitality, the dynamism of this wonderful nation. Yes, there is poverty aplenty. Yes, it's a land of 500,000 plus villages of mud brick homes. Yes marriages are still arranged and some girls are married in their early teens - don't harbor cn the negative. Sense it, feel it, experience it and you'll love it as I did. I've collected newspaper articles over the 40 plus days I sojourned on the sub, continent. They come fram all over - from Srinigar in the Vale of Kashmir to the bone white sands of Madras beaches; ±ram the urbane streets of Boirbay to the Ghats on the Ganga in Varanasi; from Agra and its marblemagnificance, the Taj Mahal, to Calcutta,theCity of Joyiand Mother Teresa, bless her soul. I've divideu them into severalcategories with catchy Madison Avenue titles???; and I've added some comments to each section including same possible uses for some of the articles in the classroom.

He was preceded up the local streetsby a marching band fully attired in what I saw as disheveled high school banduniforms. Members of the groom's family, males mostly, walked on all sides of the groam in aless than military march. The musical fanfare was accompanied by a lightshow of sorts; men carrying same neon lights in a triangular shape (10 of them) walked ahead of theband. This gaudy, loyal column approached the Claridge at a funeral pace,adding passersby, me included, along their route. In the hotel the bride's family and female membersof the groam's entouraae awaited the groam's dramtic entrance. The women wore beautiful saris, each one morebeautiful than the other - silk mostly w_th some cotton ones, most sewnwith gold or silver thread. It was a stunning, beautiful assemblage ofstunningly beautiful women of all ages. This was an upper-class affair, and although many Indiansperceive all Americans as affluent, virtually every member ofthe wedding party could have bought and sold this Long Island teacher. The sheer joy that this event produced overflowed on tothe foreign guests staying at the hotel. Many of my fella,/ Fulbrighters were invited to join in the wedding. So here I am Chicago CUb t-shirt, a pair of beige khakis and my Reeboks - I felt like an cutcast albeit a most welcomed one.

  • Politics of Genocide
    I THE BACKGROUND 2 1 WHY PUNJAB? Exit British, Enter Congress In 1849 the Sikh empire fell to the British army; it was the last of their conquests. Nearly a hundred years later when the British were about to relinquish India they were negotiating with three parties; namely the Congress Party largely supported by Hindus, the Muslim League representing the Muslims and the Akali Dal representing the Sikhs. Before 1849, the Satluj was the boundary between the kingdom of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and other Sikh states, such as Patiala (the largest and most influential), Nabha and Jind, Kapurthala, Faridkot, Kulcheter, Kalsia, Buria, Malerkotla (a Muslim state under Sikh protection). Territory under Sikh rulers stretched from the Peshawar to the Jamuna. Those below the Satluj were known as the Cis-Satluj states. 3 In these pre-independence negotiations, the Akalis, led by Master Tara Singh, represented the Sikhs residing in the territory which had once been Ranjit Singh’s kingdom; Yadavindra Singh, Maharaja of Patiala, spoke for the Cis- Satluj states. Because the Sikh population was thinly dispersed all over these areas, the Sikhs felt it was not possible to carve out an entirely separate Sikh state and had allied themselves with the Congress whose policy proclaimed its commitment to the concept of unilingual states with a federal structure and assured the Sikhs that “no future Constitution would be acceptable to the Congress that did not give full satisfaction to the Sikhs.” Gandhi supplemented this assurance by saying: “I ask you to accept my word and the resolution of the Congress that it will not betray a single individual, much less a community ..

  • NICEF Sponsored Conference on Children in South Asia Which
    NICEF sponsored Conference on Children in South Asia which highlighted the plight of the girl-child and led to the SAARC Heads of Government declaring 1987 as "The Year of Girl- Child". In 1989, she presided over a core group appointed by the Government of India to draft a Perspective Plan for Women to detail development strategies for Women, which has since served as the blue print for policies adopted by the Central and State Governments. She has represented India at all the major UN Conferences during the Decade for Women. Elected President of the World Women Parliamentarians for Peace (WWPP) in 1986, she was part of the delegation that petitioned Disarmament at the historic Reagan- Gorbachev Summit in Washington. In 1989, she was invited by the UN Women's Division to chair the Group of Experts Meeting to assess the impact of the Decade for Women in decision making and again in 1989 on Violence against Women.
