  • Issues of Culture and Identity
    ANGLO-INDIAN COMMUNITY IN RANCHI1: ISSUES OF CULTURE AND IDENTITY Afrinul Haque Khan ABSTRACT The Anglo-Indian community in Ranchi comprises a small group of 40 families2, the majority of which is occupied in the profession of teaching and settled at different locales, mostly on the outskirts of the city. Contributing extensively to the growth and prosperity of the state and constituting an integral part of Jharkhand’s population, culturally this micro minority community can be identified as a distinctive minority group on account of its exclusivity in terms of lifestyle, food habits, dress and performance of rituals associated with Christianity. While memories of the past, for them, continue to be a source of nostalgia and revive their fondness for ‘the good old days/ways’, their present is, undoubtedly marked by their sense of belonging to and identification with their land of birth. In recent years, the city of Ranchi has witnessed remarkable growth and urbanization, having been accorded the status of the capital of the newly created state of Jharkhand. This rapid change in the social, cultural and political status of Ranchi has caused a perceptible change in the position and status of the Anglo-Indian community in Ranchi leading to issues and concerns relating to their identity and culture. In this paper I explore these issues in this paper, based primarily on the analysis and findings derived from interviews with the members of three different generations of Anglo-Indians in Ranchi. INTRODUCTION Dotted with hills, waterfalls, and lush green flora, Ranchi, the capital of the present state of Jharkhand and the summer capital of the erstwhile state of Bihar is now home to 40 Anglo-Indian families.

  • Copyright 2018 Debojoy Chanda
    Copyright 2018 Debojoy Chanda RACIALIZING WHITE RESIDUES: SEDITIOUS ANGLO-INDIANS AND OTHERS BY DEBOJOY CHANDA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Anustup Basu, Chair Associate Professor Susan Koshy Associate Professor Manisha Basu Associate Professor James Hansen ii ABSTRACT My dissertation interrogates the discursive residues of the notorious colonially instituted Anglo-Indian question in decolonized India. To problematize these residues, I structure my dissertation as a fragmented genealogy of default colonial and post-colonial perceptions of Anglo-Indians as sexually and racially ‘fallen.’ Via this piecemeal genealogy, I ultimately argue that Anglo-Indians inhabit what Anglo-Indian anti-racism activist Cedric Dover would call mongrel bodies. These bodies, given their infinite and indeterminate racial intermixture, are in a state of continual flux, thus defying reduction to a question in firmly delineable terms of race. Complicating the Anglo-Indian question further, I read into some figurations of ‘fallen’ Anglo-Indians from the genealogy, retrieving traces of acts by which these figurations protested their condensation into a racial question. As I show, these figurations did so by performing the intermixed character of their mongrel bodies at levels that included biopolitics, law, gender, citizenship, literature, censorship, and language. Examining these performances of intermixture, I suggest that in the final reckoning, the unavoidable factor of racial indeterminacy should be perceived as straddling not only Anglo-Indians but all groups. The end of the decolonized Indian nation-state, I accordingly gesture, is to recognize mongrelism as an inevitable phenomenon— one that fractures closed categories of race and community.

  • IIMC Alumni Association 2021 Artwork Part a Low
    DIRECTOR GENERAL'S MESSAGE Let us strive towards Constructive Journalism I am pleased to know that the Indian Institute of Mass Communication Alumni Association (IIMCAA) is organising Annual Alumni Meet ‘Connections 2021’. I extend heartiest congratulations to the entire team of IIMCAA for keeping the tradition thriving from the last eight years. I expect the team IIMCA to be the harbinger of excellence for the present and future students of the IIMC. Alumni are the brand ambassador of any institution and the IIMC is the institution that has a big army of such ambassadors. They are today leading dierent media houses including print, television, radio, advertisement, public relations, new media, and even beyond that. What extremely satises me is the fact that they have left their imprints across the world. They are media leaders today. Surely, such entitlements bring a sense of responsibility and that the IIMC alumni have proved time and again. I believe that youth have the power to change the world. Swami Vivekananda always stressed on education, the power of youth, and nation-building. He said, “Youth is the best time. The way in which you utilise this period will decide the nature of coming years that lie ahead of you.” I also reiterate his message and advise the youth to channelise their collective energy towards education, empowerment of youth, and nation-building. On this occasion, I would also like to remember the words of Mahatma Gandhi for his idea of constructive contribution to society and the nation. He set an agenda before the countrymen in 1941 to bring constructive change in society.

College of Design and Social Context. RMIT University June 2016 2 DECLARATION I certify that except where due acknowledgement has been made, the work is that of the author alone; the work has not been submitted previously, in whole or in part, to qualify for any other academic award; the content of the dissertation is the result of work which has been carried out since the official commencement date of the approved research program; any editorial work, paid or unpaid, carried out by a third party is acknowledged; and, ethics procedures and guidelines have been followed. Rhett Jude D’Costa August 2016 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Over my long PhD journey, help, support and expertise has been forthcoming from family, friends and colleagues. Too many to mention here and in fear I may miss someone—print is so unforgiving—I extend my appreciation to this wonderful group of individuals. However, specific acknowledgement is required for my terrific supervisors, who, for different reasons came and went during my candidature: Dr Sophie Errey, Dr Kirsten Sharp, and Dr Laresa Kosloff. Assoc. Prof. Keely Macarow came on board nearing the final stages and stayed until my completion. I would particularly like to thank Dr Robin Kingston who has been with me throughout the journey. As my friend, colleague and supervisor I will always be grateful for her wisdom and the trust she showed in me, but most importantly for giving me permission to find, loose, pause and accelerate as fitted the moment.

    AN INTERACTIVE EVENING WITH WRITERS IRWIN ALLAN SEALY, KEITH BUTLER & FILMMAKER PAUL HARRIS Date: 28th December 2014 Time: 3.00-5.00 p.m. Venue: SN Bose Auditorium IIT Kharagpur BOOK RELEASES AND MEET THE AUTHOR A social and cultural history of 433 square yards of India written in the form of an almanac The Small Wild Goose Pagoda is a natural and social history of 433 square yards of India. On this piece of land in the foothills of the Himalaya, the Sealy family have a small brick house with one-and-a-half bedrooms, two-and-a-half gardens, front, back and side, an old Fiat, an internet link with the world and a terrace roof for walking on under the sky. Here surrounded by trees: litchi, rosewood, magnolia, silk cotton, jacaranda, a reluctant pear, a profusely flowering peach Allan Sealy looks back on his life as he turns sixty and goes from Householder to Forest Dweller (the two middle stages in the life of a man - as set out in Indian philosophical tradition). Lending depth and texture to a narrative written in the form of an almanac is his experience of building, after a visit to China, a pagoda on his roof. As the pagoda takes shape we are introduced to a host of extraordinary characters who drift in and out of the 433 square yards: Dhani, family retainer and mali, bent in half by age; Habilis, master brick-layer and contractor with a roving eye; Beauty, part of Habilis' s crew, who may or may not be his lover; Victor, stoic assistant to Habilis.

Their Stories, Their Voices: The Orphans of the British Raj An Essay, to accompany the documentary short, “Their Stories, Their Voices: Orphans of the British Raj” https://youtu.be/s0oM7-jEvu8 By Sayan Dey1 Abstract The global evolution of the postcolonial era across diverse spatio-temporal zones generated a highly debatable paradigm: did postcoloniality generate a new epistemological and ontological framework that disentangled from the colonial patterns or did these patterns continue with the pre- existing colonial ideologies? With the end of colonization in India, the physically visible colonial empires of patriarchy were replaced by what we can refer to as “metaphysical empires”, which are physically invisible, but which operate ideologically in a very systematic and convincing manner, reproducing many of the hierarchies entrenched during the colonial period.
