Ghazi Commodities Limited Whole Red Lentils - Bangladesh prefers extra small lentils size. - Consumers buy football only, and splits are used by HoReCa segment. - The local origin lentil has a big premium over imported lentils due to small size and preferred taste. - Main origins are Australia (nipper / nipper type) & Canada (crimson / crimson type), but Russia & CIS are origins showing future potential. - Millers are generally willing to pay premium $15 - $20 for Australian Nippers. Any higher and they switch over to Crimson. Ghazi Commodities Limited Conclusion - Kaspa Peas – South Australian Origin – is a niche demand. - Bangladesh will always have demand for pulses, unlike India & Pakistan, where self sufficiency is possible. Demand expected to grow proportionally to income and population growth. - Business is conducted through Letter of Credit. This is a mandatory rule set by the Government of Bangladesh. Thank you!.

  • Dreaming of Diasporas: Urban Developments and Transnational Identities in Contemporary Kolkata
    TOPIA 17 |111 Pablo S. Bose Dreaming of Diasporas: Urban Developments and Transnational Identities in Contemporary Kolkata ABSTRACT This paper examines the contested nature of diasporas and their complex involvement in dynamics of international development by focusing on the recent construction of luxury condominiums on the fringes of the Indian metropolis of Kolkata. These new housing projects are built and marketed with a self-consciously global aesthetic in mind and are actively promoted to both overseas Indian communities and local elites as spaces in which one can take up an explicitly “international” identity. This paper argues that these discourses and developments regarding life-space and lifestyle are part of a broader project intended to help Kolkata regain its past glory as a “world city.” Furthermore, it is suggested that the deployment of the heavily mythologized figure of the global Indian is a crucial element for mobilizing key actors and constituting material transformations in the postcolonial city. RÉSUMÉ Ce texte examine la nature contestée des diasporas et leur implication complexe dans les dynamiques de développement international en se concentrant sur les récentes constructions de condominiums luxueux en bordure de la métropole indienne de Kolkata. Ces constructions nouvelles sont bâties et mises sur le marché en valorisant un esthétisme consciemment global. Elles sont activement promues, à la fois aux communautés Indiennes outre-mer et aux élites locales, comme étant des espaces dans lesquels un individu peut acquérir une identité « internationale » explicite. Ce texte argumente que ces discours et ces développements au sujet de l’espace de vie, et de style de vie, font partie d’un projet plus large visant à soutenir Kolkata pour regagner sa gloire passée comme « ville du monde » .

  • Guilt, Shame and Model Minorities: How South Asian Youth in Toronto Navigate the Canadian Educational System
    GUILT, SHAME AND MODEL MINORITIES: HOW SOUTH ASIAN YOUTH IN TORONTO NAVIGATE THE CANADIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM by Sangeetha Navaratnam A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education © Copyright by Sangeetha Navaratnam 2011 GUILT, SHAME AND MODEL MINORITIES: HOW SOUTH ASIAN YOUTH IN TORONTO NAVIGATE THE CANADIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM Masters of Arts 2011 Sangeetha Navaratnam Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract The present study examines issues that South Asian youth face as members of a model minority group. Using 14 semi-structured interviews, South Asian youth (aged 18-26) discussed issues they encountered as they navigated educational institutions in Canada. The study found that participants were not aware of the term model minority. Furthermore, participants received input, either directly or indirectly, from family and community members regarding their career choices. Lastly, participants experienced guilt and shame during decision-making processes, but ultimately chose their own path with [eventual] acceptance from parents. Results indicate that schools in the GTA are not attuned to the needs of South Asian students which often left students at a disadvantage when making future career and educational choices. There is a need for educators, administrators, and policymakers to develop more specialized programs toward helping South Asian youth navigate the Canadian educational institutions. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank all of the South Asian youth who agreed to participant in this study. I would like to express my appreciation for your willingness to share your stories with me.

  • Entire Issue 1
    Bollyville, U.S.A: The Commodification of the Other and MTV’s Construction of the “Ideal Type” Desi Murali Balaji When the Music Television Network launched MTV Desi in 2005, it promised to bridge the divide between South Asian Americans and their counterparts in the Indian subcontinent.1 This study looks at how MTV Desi tried to create an “ideal type” South Asian American through its programming, presenting an image of South Asian Americans as loving “Bhangra but also Shakira… MTV but also Bollywood.” The author seeks to articulate the political economy of identity by describing MTV’s attempts to define and commodify “Desi-ness.” The author also attempts to explain why MTV Desi ultimately failed and how marginalized audiences can resist commodification by rejecting corporate- defined identity. n its 25-plus years of existence, the Music Television Network has been one of the primary forces in shaping global youth culture and cultivating youth identity.2 The Viacom-owned network’s influence has been so expansive that MTV programs are now a staple of youth consumption in every corner of the Iworld. 3 MTV, in many ways, is popular culture, indulging its viewers with the lav- ishness of consumerism and breeding a loyal following among an age group that varies from impressionable pre-teens to middle-age voyeurs. MTV in the United States has traditionally targeted white, suburban teenagers, and as its content para- digm has shifted away from music videos and into new “reality”-based program- ming, the network has expanded its reach into movies and even books. In many ways, the network has evolved into an “all-encompassing ‘lifestyle’ channel for its young targeted audience.”4 MTV’s success in shaping culture has been so prevalent that the network itself is synonymous with cool.

  • An Overview of Indian Alcohol Industry
    IJCBM International Journal of Commerce and Business Management DOI: 10.15740/HAS/IJCBM/9.1/80-86 e ISSN–0976–7940 Volume 9 | Issue 1 | April, 2016 | 80-86 Visit us : www.researchjournal.co.in A REVIEW An overview of Indian alcohol industry K. L. SOWMYA SHREE, C. KAVYA AND G. N. NAGARAJA Received : 28.09.2015; Accepted : 20.03.2016 ABSTRACT India is the third largest global spirits market by volume in the world, just behind China and Russia. In some states, certain alcoholic beverages like wine and beer can be sold in supermarkets that further increase the availability. The Indian alcohol industry is a high-risk industry, on account of the high taxes and innumerable regulations governing it. The Indian liquor industry comprises the Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), country liquor, foreign Liquor Bottled in Origin (BIO), illicit alcohol, beer and wine segments. The overall IMFL market is increasing at the rate of 9 to 10 per cent annually and growth rate of 11.9 per cent in the last financial year (2011-12). Country liquor produced in local licensed distilleries and is made of cheap raw material, primarily rectified spirits of grains or molasses. The production cost for country liquor is low; the excise duties are also lower than they are for other liquor. Beer has become a popular beverage in the country only over the last two decades and it’s growing at a rate of about 17 per cent per year. Imported liquor forms a very small part of alcohol consumption in India and growing at the rate of 25 per cent annually.

Through a close reading of Ghalib Shiraz Dhalla’s first novel Ode to Lata, I underscore the significance of disputing logics of suppressing female sexual subjectivity in queer discourses and concurrently challenge the entrenched racial hierarchies in South Asian diasporic populations. Placing the (male) queer diasporic subject at the centre of debates on home, race and queerness extends the critical span of queer and diaspora studies.

  • Negotiating South Asian Identities in Toronto
    Replacing the nation in the age of migration: negotiating South Asian identities in Toronto ISHAN ASHUTOSH Ashutosh, Ishan. (2015). Replacing the nation in the age of migration: negotiat- ing South Asian identities in Toronto. Fennia 193: 2, 212–226. ISSN 1798-5617. This essay examines the role of the national in shaping the geo-political divides and connections of the South Asian diaspora in Toronto. South Asian diaspora identities are explored through two contrasting political projects that reveal the ambivalent role of the nation in producing diasporic subjectivities and their shifting borders. First, by discussing the perceptions of South Asians in Toronto, it is contended that national and religious divides are reproduced in the dias- pora as a means of national belonging to the society of settlement. Diasporic geo-political divides are not merely transposed from societies of origin to settle- ment, but rather lie at the intersection of transnational and multicultural politics that encompass societies of origin and settlement. The reproduction of national divides in the South Asian diaspora is situated in the neighbourhoods of immi- grant settlement that are positioned as the objects of multicultural efficacy. The second political project reconstitutes the national through cross-national soli- darities. Through a discussion of South Asian organizations and political initia- tives in Toronto and other cities in North America, this section illuminates di- asporic politics predicated on new understandings of history and connection that rejuvenate and politicize multicultural politics. The argument presented finds that national boundaries are re-inscribed in the diaspora at the intersection of the multiple claims of membership.

India Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), Country Liquor, Illicit liquor and Beer are the types of alcoholic beverages available in India.
