The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Professor R. Scott Appleby. Abstract Simonsson, O. 2019. God Rests in Rwanda. The Role of Religion in the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda. Studia Historica Upsaliensia 264. 312 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0655-1. This study analyses the role of religion in the Rwandan genocide, providing new explanations to the complex dynamics of devaluation and victimisation processes in genocidal violence. The thesis explains how religion was used in different contexts prior to, during, and after the 1994 genocide. The following questions guide this study: What kinds of religious concepts and arguments were used in the context of the Rwandan genocide, and how? Why were they used and what did these concepts and arguments mean? Finally, did the meanings of the religious arguments change over time and between different contexts, and if so why? Texts from three sources were analysed: the Hutu extremist propaganda in Kangura magazine and in RTLM broadcasts, and testimonies from the ICTR trials. The analysis was guided by Roger Dale Petersen’s theory on Fear, Hatred, and Resentment, as well as theories on devaluation, social identity, self-victimisation, and competitive victimhood.

  • Dev.D 1 Dev.D Is an Indian Romantic Drama Film Released on 6 February
    Dev.D 1 Dev.D Dev D Theatrical release poster Directed by Anurag Kashyap Produced by Ronnie Screwvala Written by Anurag Kashyap Vikramaditya Motwane Based on Devdas by Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay Starring Abhay Deol Mahie Gill Kalki Koechlin Music by Amit Trivedi Cinematography Rajeev Ravi Edited by Aarti Bajaj Release date(s) •• 6 February 2009 Running time 144 min Budget 60 million (US$1.0 million) Box office 215.0 million (US$3.6 million) (domestic gross) Dev.D is an Indian romantic drama film released on 6 February 2009. Written and directed by Anurag Kashyap, it is a modern-day take on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's classic Bengali novel Devdas,[1] previously adapted for the screen by P.C. Barua and Bimal Roy and more recently by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.[2] Dev.D was embraced by the media, critics and public. The film is set in contemporary Punjab and Delhi, where familial ties are negotiated by the traditions of patriarchy and marriages are reduced to a game of power and "honour". Plot Dev (Abhay Deol) is the son of a rich businessman. He and Paro (Mahi Gill) are childhood sweethearts. But Dev, being an insecure narcissist, instead of acknowledging her affection and care, nudges Paro over frivolous things. Dev is sent to London for higher studies when his father senses how spoilt his son is. While separated by distance, Paro and Dev's youthful love only blossoms more. Dev arrives in Chandigarh to meet Paro. Their endeavor to make love makes for some dark comic moments. The seeds of suspicion are sown here, which the couple will never be able to weed out for a lifetime.

    Rwanda Journal ISSN 2305-2678 (Print); ISSN 2305-5944 (Online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/rj.v1i1.3A Ndorwá Famous Women J. NYIRAHABIMANA, Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Education of Kibungo & J. C. NKEJABAHIZI, University of Rwanda Abstract This article focuses on famous women of Ndorwá region in North-East of Rwanda. It aims at drawing portraits of extraordinary heroines who marked the collective memory of Ndorwa region. Lives of women portrayed in this article are unique. It is this uniqueness that we highlight. Moreover, their portraits convey important information on social, cultural, political and economic organization of Ndorwa region. Key words: Rwanda, women, heroines, Ndorwá Introduction The Kingdom of Ndorwá was located to the North of the Kingdom of Rwanda, currently the southern area of the Republic of Uganda. It was governed by the dynasty of the Abashaambo clan, from which derived the phrase Ndorwá y‘Ábashaambo. It was conquered and occupied by King Kigeli III Ndabárasa (1706- 1741). The monarch‘s long stay in this region gave rise to famous poetical battle of wits: - Mbwiiré umwaámi ukó abaándi baámi baantumyé (Let me convey to the king the message from other kings) by poet Musaáre, son of Nyakayoonga. - Baateewe n’íikí uburaké (What made them furious) by poet Kibáraké son of Bagorozi. He composed this poem on the king‘s order. - Nóone kó wamazé ubuhiínge (Now, you have completed farm work) by poet Musaáre. In 1884, during the Berlin conference when the Western colonial powers shared out Africa and set new borders for African countries, the Kingdom of Rwanda lost a big part of Ndorwá territory.

    After being abandoned for eight straight years in boarding school, Rohan returns to the small industrial town of Jamshedpur and finds himself closeted with an authoritarian father and a younger half brother who he didn’t even know existed.

He read it in an hour, gave it back to me, went back to what he was doing and told me that one day he will produce this film, that nobody else will. I wanted to smack him then. But it turned out that he was right. In March 2009, after years of trying to get a producer on board, Anurag and his friend Sanjay Singh raised enough money for me to turn that same script into a film. They packed me off to shoot and backed me all the way to make the film I always wanted to.

    1 2 3 4 UMWAMI KING KIGELI V AND THE SHATTERED KINGDOM OF RWANDA (1896-2016) Stewart Addington Saint-David 5 “My wish is that every human being should be treated equally, and as a child of God, both here and in Rwanda.” -H. M. Jean-Baptiste Kigeli V Ndahindurwa, King of Rwanda (r. 1959- 2016) © 2018 Stewart Addington Saint-David. All rights reserved. 6 FOREWORD H. M. YUHI VI BUSHAYIJA King of Rwanda I was born into a branch of the ruling dynasty of the Kingdom of Rwanda as it entered its final phase as the active central component of the country's political and cultural life, during the reign of my late uncle, King Kigeli V Ndahindurwa. The king of Rwanda, called Umwami in our Kinyarwanda language, has always been considered the “father of the nation,” and is seen as the universal patriarch of the countless family groups that constitute the vital human fabric of our country. Through decades of foreign intervention and encroachment, the institution of the monarchy withstood the test of time, and was seen as the central pillar of the Rwandan state.
