Mindscapes of Space, Power and Value in Mumbai
Island Studies Journal, Vol. 9, No. 2, 2014, pp. 277-292 The epistemology of a sea view: mindscapes of space, power and value in Mumbai Ramanathan Swaminathan Senior Fellow, Observer Research Foundation (ORF) Fellow, National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) Contributing Editor, Governance Now [email protected] ABSTRACT: Mumbai is a collection of seven islands strung together by a historically layered process of reclamation, migration and resettlement. The built landscape reflects the unique geographical characteristics of Mumbai’s archipelagic nature. This paper first explores the material, non-material and epistemological contours of space in Mumbai. It establishes that the physical contouring of space through institutional, administrative and non-institutional mechanisms are architected by complex notions of distance from the city’s coasts. Second, the paper unravels the unique discursive strands of space, spatiality and territoriality of Mumbai. It builds the case that the city’s collective imaginary of value is foundationally linked to the archipelagic nature of the city. Third, the paper deconstructs the complex power dynamics how a sea view turns into a gaze: one that is at once a point of view as it is a factor that provides physical and mental form to space. In conclusion, the paper makes the case that the mindscapes of space, value and power in Mumbai have archipelagic material foundations. Keywords : archipelago, form, island, mindscape, Mumbai, power, space, value © 2014 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction: unearthing the archipelagic historiography of Mumbai A city can best be described as a collection of spaces. Not in any ontological sense or in a physically linear form, but in an ever-changing, ever-interacting mesh of spatialities and territorialities that display the relative social relations of power existing at that particular point in time (Holstein & Appadurai, 1989).

Reconstructing Religious Tolerance in South Mumbai Mumbai, India Colby College Sarah Joseph Kurien, India, Mahindra United World College of India
In Peaces: Reconstructing Religious Tolerance in South Mumbai Mumbai, India Colby College Sarah Joseph Kurien, India, Mahindra United World College of India Ia. My Project for Peace aimed to revisit and strengthen our national ideals of tolerance and openness by educating children from economically impoverished communities about different faiths and their traditions. I chose to work with students from South Mumbai’s slums because it is in these areas that several fundamentalist organizations concentrate their recruitment resources. Ib.. I modified my project slightly in order to accommodate changed ground realities in Mumbai. The organization I had originally intended to work with, Meljol, was unable to procure local government permission to work in South Mumbai’s public schools in the time frame that I had envisioned. Faced with an indeterminate wait were I to continue partnering with Meljol, I decided to approach Akanksha, an NGO that enrolls children from slum communities in Mumbai’s public schools and provides them with after-school classes to better equip them for classroom life. Akanksha agreed to let me work with children in their South Mumbai centers. I was therefore able to work with the same population of children as proposed, albeit in their after-school programs instead of in their public schools. Given the changed circumstances and the fact that I was no longer working with public school teachers in their classrooms, I decided to use the funds originally allocated to the Teacher Awareness Training Conference to improve upon the field trip and classroom discussion aspects of my project. Due to this redistribution of project funds, I was able to take students on longer and more in-depth field trips to various sites of religious importance around the city.

Freedom of Religion and the Indian Supreme Court: The
FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND THE INDIAN SUPREME COURT: THE RELIGIOUS DENOMINATION AND ESSENTIAL PRACTICES TESTS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN RELIGION MAY 2019 By Coleman D. Williams Thesis Committee: Ramdas Lamb, Chairperson Helen Baroni Ned Bertz Abstract As a religiously diverse society and self-proclaimed secular state, India is an ideal setting to explore the complex and often controversial intersections between religion and law. The religious freedom clauses of the Indian Constitution allow for the state to regulate and restrict certain activities associated with religious practice. By interpreting the constitutional provisions for religious freedom, the judiciary plays an important role in determining the extent to which the state can lawfully regulate religious affairs. This thesis seeks to historicize the related development of two jurisprudential tests employed by the Supreme Court of India: the religious denomination test and the essential practices test. The religious denomination test gives the Court the authority to determine which groups constitute religious denominations, and therefore, qualify for legal protection. The essential practices test limits the constitutional protection of religious practices to those that are deemed ‘essential’ to the respective faith. From their origins in the 1950s up to their application in contemporary cases on religious freedom, these two tests have served to limit the scope of legal protection under the Constitution and legitimize the interventionist tendencies of the Indian state. Additionally, this thesis will discuss the principles behind the operation of the two tests, their most prominent criticisms, and the potential implications of the Court’s approach.
