  • Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India

    Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India

    Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India Gyanendra Pandey CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Remembering Partition Violence, Nationalism and History in India Through an investigation of the violence that marked the partition of British India in 1947, this book analyses questions of history and mem- ory, the nationalisation of populations and their pasts, and the ways in which violent events are remembered (or forgotten) in order to en- sure the unity of the collective subject – community or nation. Stressing the continuous entanglement of ‘event’ and ‘interpretation’, the author emphasises both the enormity of the violence of 1947 and its shifting meanings and contours. The book provides a sustained critique of the procedures of history-writing and nationalist myth-making on the ques- tion of violence, and examines how local forms of sociality are consti- tuted and reconstituted by the experience and representation of violent events. It concludes with a comment on the different kinds of political community that may still be imagined even in the wake of Partition and events like it. GYANENDRA PANDEY is Professor of Anthropology and History at Johns Hopkins University. He was a founder member of the Subaltern Studies group and is the author of many publications including The Con- struction of Communalism in Colonial North India (1990) and, as editor, Hindus and Others: the Question of Identity in India Today (1993).

    Banalities Turned Viral: Narendra Modi and the Political Tweet

    TVNXXX10.1177/1527476415573956Television & New MediaPal 573956research-article2015 Article Television & New Media 1 –10 Banalities Turned Viral: © The Author(s) 2015 Reprints and permissions: Narendra Modi and the sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1527476415573956 Political Tweet tvn.sagepub.com Joyojeet Pal1 Abstract Narendra Modi’s social media presence is among the most extensive for any politician in the world, including on Twitter where he currently stands second in following only to Barack Obama. With a mix of “feel good” messages, shout-outs to other celebrities, and well-timed ritualized responses, as well as a careful strategy of “followbacks” for a small selection of his most active followers, Modi has been able to grow his following dramatically especially since 2013. Twitter helps Modi directly reach a significant constituency of listeners, and use it as a channel to talk to the main stream media. In addition, the very appearance of his using social media effectively is in itself valuable in reshaping his public image as a technology-savvy leader, aligned with the aspirations of a new Indian modernity. Keywords Narendra Modi, Twitter, social media, politics, India, BJP, campaign, followback, new media, Facebook, NaMo, RSS The most “retweeted” and “favorited” message in India’s social media history came on May 15, 2014, when the handle @narendramodi tweeted “India has Won.” The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had come to power in elections with the biggest mandate in three decades, and Narendra Modi would be the next prime minister. The carefully phrased victory tweet congratulated the social media supporters who had for months been his online foot soldiers.

    Address by the President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee to Members of Both Houses of Parliament

    ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA, SHRI PRANAB MUKHERJEE TO MEMBERS OF BOTH HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT January 31, 2017 Central Hall, Parliament House Honourable Members, 1. In this Basant season of renewal and resurgence, I welcome you all to this Joint Session of both Houses of Parliament. This is a historic session heralding the advancement of the Budget cycle and merger of the Railway Budget with the General Budget for the first time in independent India. We gather once again to celebrate democracy, a cherished value and culture that has prospered throughout the long history of our nation. Indeed, a culture that guides my government towards Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas. 2. The ideal of saha na vavatu, saha nau bhunaktu - May we be protected together and blessed together with bliss - has inspired our civilisation from time immemorial. This year marks the 350th birth anniversary of the great Sikh Guru - Guru Gobind Singhji. We are also observing the one thousandth birth anniversary of the great saint-philosopher Ramanujacharya. The luminous path of social transformation and reform shown by them serves as a beacon for all, and is an inspiration to my government. Page 1 of 27 3. This year marks the Centenary year of Champaran Satyagraha, which gave a new direction to our freedom struggle and channelised janashakti in the fight against colonial power. Mahatma Gandhi's ideals of Satyagraha instilled in every Indian an indomitable self-belief, and spirit of sacrifice for the larger good. This janashakti is today our greatest strength. 4. The resilience and forbearance demonstrated by our countrymen, particularly the poor, recently in the fight against black money and corruption, is remarkable.

    Occupational Health & Safety in the Informal Sector

    2010 Occupational Health & Safety in the Informal Sector Sustainable Textiles for Sustainable Development Occupational Health & Safety in the Informal Sector Panel Discussion on Occupational Health & Safety of Non‐Agricultural Workers: Need for a Comprehensive Legislation 8 June 2010 India International Centre, New Delhi Background of the workshop The All India Artisans & Craftworkers Welfare Association (AIACA), in partnership with Traidcraft, UK's leading fair trade organization & Consortium of Textile Exporters (COTEX) is working on a four year Switch Asia project to explore environmental and health and safety issues relating to the crafts and textile sector in India. The project is supported by a grant from the European Union. The project seeks to promote sustainable production (i.e. development of less polluting and more resource efficient products, processes and services) and sustainable consumption patterns in the crafts and textile industry in India and ensure occupational health and safety of workers in India. A baseline study (http://aiacaonline.org/researchr.html) was commissioned under the project, looking at environmental and health impacts of various production processes in six craft clusters across India. Taking this initiative forward, a policy brief was prepared looking at occupational health and safety issues for non‐agricultural workers in the informal sector. A consultative workshop was held on Occupational Health and Safety in the Informal Sector on 8th June, 2010 at the India International Centre. Two panel discussions were put together to respond to this and discuss strategies to develop a comprehensive legislation for occupational health and safety for informal workers. Participants at the workshop included policymakers, leading businesses in the sector and representatives from various government departments and civil society organizations.
