  • Anglo-Indian Identity, Knowledge, and Power
    Anglo-Indian Identity, Knowledge, and Power Western Ballroom Music in Lucknow Bradley Shope Beginning in the first half of the 20th century, Western ballroom and dance music began to make its way into Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, as well as other cities in North India. It was imported via gramophone disks, radio broadcasts, and sheet music coming from Europe and America. In the 1930s, an increasing number of dance halls, railway social institutes, auditoriums, and cafe´s were built to cater to a growing number of British and Americans in India, satisfying their nostalgia for the live performance of the foxtrot, the tango, the waltz, the rumba, big-band music, and Dixieland. Influenced by sound and broadcast technology, sheet music, instrument availability, the railway system, and con- vent schools teaching music, an appreciation for these styles of music was found in other communities. Especially involved were Portuguese Goans and Anglo-Indians, defined here as those of European and Indian descent who were born and raised in India.1 For these two groups, it served to assert their identities as distinct from other South Asians and highlighted that their taste for music reached beyond the geographical boundaries of India. Numerous types of media, institutions, and venues contributed to this vibrant Western music performance culture in Lucknow in the early 20th century. James Perry, an elderly Goan musician, and Mr. John Sebastian and Mr. Jonathan Taylor,2 two elderly Anglo-Indian ex-railway workers, were involved in its perfor- mance and appreciation.3 By drawing from multiple field interviews in North India conducted with these individuals between 1999 and 2001, and by de- scribing the character of the performance culture, I will highlight the role of music in creating socioeconomic mobility and a distinct identity among Anglo-Indians in Lucknow, and address issues of power relations and coloni- alism with reference to the consumption of the music.

  • SALZMAN-DISSERTATION-2016.Pdf
    BRICS IN RUSSIAN FOREIGN POLICY BEFORE AND AFTER THE ONSET OF THE CRISIS IN UKRAINE by Rachel S. Salzman A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland December 11, 2015 © Rachel S. Salzman All Rights Reserved Abstract The focus of this dissertation is the evolution of BRICS in Russian foreign policy. It tells this overarching story through the lens of three overlapping narratives. The first is the evolution of Russian elite rhetoric about the West, and the increasing antagonism of that rhetoric, since the turn of the millennium. The second is how Russian leaders have framed the idea of the BRICS group in the narrative they created about Russian relations with the West and Russia’s role in the international system. The third is the story of BRICS itself: its development as a group in the international arena, its past achievements and future prospects, and its broader impact on global governance. The main argument is as follows: BRICS has become more important to Russia as a result of the rupture in relations with the West following the onset of the crisis in Ukraine in February 2014. Simultaneously, BRICS itself has begun to constitute an important part of a changing world order, primarily because the imbalances in global economic governance it originally sought to address remain unresolved. These two phenomena, combined with the silence of the BRICS countries in the face of Russian violations of international norms during the Ukraine crisis, are evidence of an accelerating fragmentation of the current international order.

    Columbia University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Liberal Studies Master of Arts South Asian Studies The Indian and Pakistani Diaspora in the U.S.: Interest Groups, American Politics and Policy Process a final paper by Britt Roels Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts February 2005 Introduction The United States has always been a nation of immigrants where people from every region of the world have come to begin a new life. Who are these immigrants? Why did they decide to come? How well have they adjusted to this new land? What has been the general reaction to these immigrants? Numerous studies about earlier waves of immigrants, i.e. the Irish, Germans, Jews, Italians and Poles have assiduously been published, but relatively little has been written about those arriving since the passage of the 1965-Immigration Act. 1 The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the Asian Indian 2 and Pakistani American community has asserted itself over the last 50 years and how the coming of age of both diaspora communities has contributed to its infiltration in mainstream American politics. Moreover, to what extent have these diaspora communities been able to steer and guide U.S. foreign policy as to favor India or Pakistan? Do Indian and Pakistani Americans play a role in improving respectively India-U.S. or Pakistan-U.S. relations? Have these minority groups been able to 'capture' foreign policy, i.e. control policy toward a foreign nation such that the result is variance with the policy preferences of the majority of the Americans? As we advance into the 21st century more people will be on the move.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Nancy F. Cott Emily Louise Conroy-Krutz The Conversion of the World in the Early Republic: Race, Gender, and Imperialism in the Early American Foreign Mission Movement Abstract This is a transnational history of the early republic that focuses on religious actors. The early American foreign mission movement was an outward-looking expression of the benevolent network of the early republic. Building on transatlantic connections that predated the American Revolution, it represented American evangelicals’ attempt to transform the “heathen world” into part of God’s kingdom. Using ABCFM missions to in India, the Cherokee Nation, and Liberia as case studies, this dissertation examines the relationship between the church and imperial politics. In the 1800s, Americans, who had focused their evangelism on Native Americans, joined British evangelicals in the work of world mission.

  • Russian Politics and Society, Fourth Edition
    Russian Politics and Society Having been fully revised and updated to reflect the considerable changes in Russia over the last decade, the fourth edition of this classic text builds on the strengths of the previous editions to provide a comprehensive and sophisticated analysis on Russian politics and society. In this edition, Richard Sakwa seeks to evaluate the evidence in a balanced and informed way, denying simplistic assumptions about the inevitable failure of the democratic exper- iment in Russia while avoiding facile generalisations on the inevitable triumph of global integration and democratisation. New to this edition: • Extended coverage of electoral laws, party development and regional politics • New chapter on the ‘phoney democracy’ period, 1991–3 • Historical evaluation of Yeltsin’s leadership • Full coverage of Putin’s presidency • Discussion of the development of civil society and the problems of democratic consolidation • Latest developments in the Chechnya conflict • More on foreign policy issues such as Russia’s relationship with NATO and the EU after enlargement, Russia’s relations with other post-Soviet states and the problem of competing ‘near abroads’ for Russia and the West • The re-introduction of the Russian constitution as an appendix • An updated select bibliography • More focus on the challenges facing Russia in the twenty-first century Written in an accessible and lively style, this book is packed with detailed information on the central debates and issues in Russia’s difficult transformation. This makes it the best available textbook on the subject and essential reading for all those concerned with the fate of Russia, and with the future of international society.

  • Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India at A
    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks With Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India at a "Howdy, Modi: Shared Dreams, Bright Futures" Rally in Houston, Texas September 22, 2019 Prime Minister Modi. Good morning, Houston. Good morning, Texas. Good morning, America. Greetings to my fellow Indians in India and around the world. Friends, this morning we have a very special person with us. He needs no introduction. His name is familiar to every person on the planet. His name comes up in almost every conversation in the world on global politics. His every word is followed by tens of millions. He was a household name and very popular even before he went on to occupy the highest office in this great country. From CEO to Commander in Chief, from boardrooms to the Oval Office, from studios to global stage, from politics to the economy and to security, he has left a deep and lasting impact everywhere. Today he is here with us. It is my honor and privilege to welcome here, in this magnificent stadium and magnificent gathering—and I can say I had a chance to meet him often, and every time, I found the friendliness, warmth, energy—the President of the United States of America, Mr. Donald Trump. This is extraordinary. This is unprecedented. Friends, as I told you, we have met a few times. And every time, he has been the same warm, friendly, accessible, energetic, and full of wit. I admire him for something more: his sense of leadership, a passion for America, a concern for every American, a belief in American future, and a strong resolve to make America great again.

  • 19 India-Pakistan
    India-Pakistan War-1971 Module - V Major Wars Post Independence 19 INDIA-PAKISTAN WAR - 1971 Note The 1971 Indo-Pak war was the third war that India fought with Pakistan after independence. However, this time the reasons for the war were different as compared to the previous ones. You may recall here that on the eve of partition of India there were two wings of Pakistan - the West and the East - separated by 1000 miles with India being sandwiched between the two. The Western wing is the present day Pakistan and where the government and capital of the country Islamabad is located while the capital for East Pakistan was Dhaka. The people of East Pakistan were dissatisfied with the treatment given to them by the West Pakistani Government. Hence they revolted against them. India helped the Mukti Bahini of East Pakistanis to get freedom. This was the major reason why the 1971 war took place. It was also the first war where Indian Army, Navy and Air Force took part collectivals. Each of these wings of the Armed Forces played a major part in Indian victory. Because of Indian help a new nation called Bangladesh was born. Objectives After studying this lesson, you will be able to: identify the reasons for the 1971 war and explain the major operations of the war. 19.1 Why did India and Pakistan fight a war in 1971? It is important to understand the reasons behind India’s involvement in the 1971 war. East Pakistanis were basically Bengali Muslims. Development in Pakistan was concentrated in the Western part while the Eastern side was neglected.
