Ini menjadi motivasi di balik perubahan-perubahan yang kami buat terhadap isi dan tampilan India Perspectives. Lingkungan di sekitar kita berubah dengan cepat dan kami merasa bahwa majalah ini juga harus beradaptasi dengan zaman dan tetap seperti apa yang Anda inginkan. Dengan ini kami kembali ke majalah bulanan, tetapi Kdengan tampilan masa kini dan dengan isi yang lebih mencerminkan masyarakat plural yang bersemangat lebih dari sebelumnya. Untuk membantu merealisasikan visi majalah ini kami bekerja sama dengan Media Translasia, sebuah rumah penerbit yang terkenal yang telah mempunyai lebih dari 26 penghargaan sedunia. Perusahaan ini akan menggunakan pengalamannya yang sangat banyak dan membantu kami mempersembahkan India Perspectives dalam avatar yang baru dan maju untuk Anda. Isunya bisa jadi lebih ringkas, karena sekarang ini adalah majalah bulanan, tapi kami tetap menjamin kualitasnya. Kami juga menyajikan majalah ini dalam 18 bahasa, jadi di mana saja Anda berada dan bahasa apa saja yang anda gunakan, rasanya seperti majalah ini memang dibuat secara khusus untuk Anda. Sekarang ICC World Cup sedang berlangsung di sub-benua – kejuaraan tersebut berlangsung di India pada tahun 1996 – dan demam kriket sedang mencapai puncaknya. Di artikel ini kami membahas mengapa negara kami tergila-gila akan permainan kriket dan mengapa Sachin Tendulkar seperti Tuhan bagi banyak masyarakat India. Dan juga Sekretaris Luar Negeri kami Nirupama Rao menulis tentang visi Tagore mengenai India dan Cina. Tahun ini, di sebuah Summit di Davos, negara kami membuat kehadirannya begitu terasa dengan kampanye ‘India Inclusive’ dan kami akan membawakan Anda se- jumlah potret dari acara tersebut dan campuran gaya dan substansinya yang unik. Untuk membantu Anda memahami kisah India dengan baik, kami telah memperkenalkan rangkaian pengembangan kemitraan kami; yang pertama adalah tentang pelatihan yang diselenggarakan di bawah program Indian Technical and Economic Coorperation. Untuk membuat majalah ini lebih cocok dan bersahabat dengan pembaca kami telah menyertakan artikel-artikel tentang kebudayaan, petualangan dan kesenian, ditambah ulasan film, buku dan banyak lagi. Kami menantikan masukan dari Anda mengenai prakarsa baru kami, oleh karena itu kirimkan saran anda ke [email protected].

  • Abstract Kamaladevi Chattopadhyaya, Anti
    ABSTRACT KAMALADEVI CHATTOPADHYAYA, ANTI-IMPERIALIST AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS ACTIVIST, 1939-41 by Julie Laut Barbieri This paper utilizes biographies, correspondence, and newspapers to document and analyze the Indian socialist and women’s rights activist Kamaladevi Chattopadhyaya’s (1903-1986) June 1939-November 1941 world tour. Kamaladevi’s radical stance on the nationalist cause, birth control, and women’s rights led Gandhi to block her ascension within the Indian National Congress leadership, partially contributing to her decision to leave in 1939. In Europe to attend several international women’s conferences, Kamaladevi then spent eighteen months in the U.S. visiting luminaries such as Eleanor Roosevelt and Margaret Sanger, lecturing on politics in India, and observing numerous social reform programs. This paper argues that Kamaladevi’s experience within Congress throughout the 1930s demonstrates the importance of gender in Indian nationalist politics; that her critique of Western “international” women’s organizations must be acknowledged as a precursor to the politics of modern third world feminism; and finally, Kamaladevi is one of the twentieth century’s truly global historical agents. KAMALADEVI CHATTOPADHYAYA, ANTI-IMPERIALIST AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS ACTIVIST, 1939-41 A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of History By Julie Laut Barbieri Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2008 Advisor____________________________ (Judith P.

    ThE Crafts COuncil Of India “...ensuring sustainability of artisans and their craft...” AUGUST 2011 VARANASI – A TAPESTRY IN BROCADE Kasturi Gupta Menon Kashi, Benaras, Varanasi _ “older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together”. This, according to the Eicher Guide is how Mark Twain described this holiest of cities. My own exposure to Varanasi had been limited only to the films of Satyajit Ray, to “Aparajito” and its magnificent black and white images of the ghats, to the boy Apu aimlessly wandering around the old haveli where his widowed mother worked, to “Joy Baba Felunath” _ which captured the atmosphere of its winding “gullies”, and of course the river Ganga, whose meandering presence permeated virtually every frame. “I’d like to visit Varanasi”, I had casually mentioned to Purnima towards the beginning of May, “to check out if a new range of cotton and silk saris can be sourced for “Kamala” Kolkata’s Puja exhibition. I’ll ask Gulshan to give me some names of master weavers and craftsmen.” “If you are travelling alone I can accompany you if you like”, Purnima had responded and that is how the two of us set out on our Varanasi pilgrimage in the last week of May, oblivious of how scorching the summer heat could be. Gulshan had armed us with a list containing the names of several master weavers whom we should contact. We had called most of them before we had set out, and so were able to meet each of them over the following three days.

  • THE CRAFTS COUNCIL of INDIA “...Ensuring Sustainability of Artisans and Their Craft...”
    THE CRAFTS COUNCIL OF INDIA “...ensuring sustainability of artisans and their craft...” September 2014 A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR REFLECTION: Finally, What Does It Take to Value the Artisan? Ashoke Chatterjee The last two years have been a watershed in the way the Crafts Council of India and its partners understand and advocate the value of our sector. In CCI’s Golden Jubilee year, two stark realities face the future of Indian artisans. Their economic importance to the nation is yet to be established. Their social, cultural, and political significance can be brushed aside in mistaken notions of what constitutes progress and development. Fifty years after Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay established the Council to help foster and protect India’s heritage, the lesson for all of us is that we can never take that heritage for granted. Economic impact The watershed is marked by at least two milestones. One is the ground-breaking Craft Economics and Impact Study (CEIS) completed by CCI in 2012 with the support of the Tata Trust. Approaching its 50th anniversary, the Council took its first plunge into the economics of the sector it has served with such commitment. The move was in response to a wake-up call: decision-makers at the highest levels were heard dismissing Indian craft as a ‘sunset’ occupation. No reliable data could be found to establish its importance as India’s second largest source of livelihood. This, so soon after New Delhi had decided not long ago to celebrate its own golden jubilee of ’50 Years of India’s Craft Renaissance’. Schizophrenia was in the air.
