Anuja Chaudhury V BA.LL.B. I. Introduction The sudden boom in urbanization and globalisation in the last 50 years has resulted in the rise on the human reliance on electronic products for combating every day to day activity. The cycle of longevity of such electronic machines is shortened by speedy technological advancements, innovation, consumerism and obsolescence. It has been predicted that by 2020, India will have around 32511 metric ton of waste only from desktop personal computers and will be generating an estimated 241500 metric ton of e-waste from laptops, televisions, tablets and mobile phones.1 The government bodies as well as the active citizens concerned about achieving sustainable development are quickly learning the adverse eff ects of hazardous wastes as well as significant potential risks posed by them to life and environment. The statistics on the amount of production of e-waste in the country indicates the lack of proper structuration of the assortment, supervision and the salvaging procedure of e-waste in India. Developing countries like India and other South East Asian countries face a dual problem in the management and regulation of e-waste as they not only have a massive domestic production of such e-waste (owing to the rapid technology evolution in the huge populous country), but also because they become the illegal dumping or importation ground of the same from the developed countries.

Roll of CRG Members SECTION ONE RESEARCH PROGRAMMES 1. Social and Political Mapping of Popular Movements, Logistical Visions, Infrastructure of India I. Logistics A Social Mapping of Infrastructure, Logistics and India’s Look East Policy examined the Look and Act East Policy within the larger framework of Asian connectivity. Look East (later termed Act East) developed within multiple contexts and envisaged bridging Southeast Asian nations through Northeast India. Logistical expansion understood in this sense had three components: (a) connecting the East firmly with the Northeast; (b) opening up villages and far-flung areas through new institutions (schools, colleges, banks, offices, communication networks) in the process releasing a new set of conflicts around massive displacements, homeland demands, antimigrant measures and (c) opening up to South East Asia. Priya Singh, Anita Sengupta, Iman Mitra, Subir Bhaumik, Mithilesh Kumar, Ranabir Samaddar. Snehashish Mitra, Soma Ghoshal, Paula Banerjee, Sucharita Sengupta, Samir K.

  • Decolonizing Transgender in India Some Reflections
    TSQ Decolonizing Transgender in India Some Reflections ANIRUDDHA DUTTA and RAINA ROY Abstract This essay is a set of reflections arising out of prolonged conversations in which we compared notes on our respective experiences as activist (Raina) and ethnographer (Aniruddha) working among, and to different extents belonging to, gender/sexually marginalized communities in eastern India. As we shall argue, the attempted universalization of transgender as a transnational “umbrella term” by the development (nongovernmental) sector, the state, and their funders tends to subsume South Asian discourses and practices of gender/sexual variance as merely “local” expres- sions of transgender identity, without interrogating the conceptual baggage (such as homo-trans and cis-trans binaries) associated with the transgender category. In the Indian context, this process bolsters the long-standing and continuing (post)colonial construction of hierarchies of scale between transnational, regional, and local levels of discourse and praxis, as evidenced in the relation between the hegemonic anglophone discourse of LGBTIQ identities recognized by the state and the development sector, on one hand, and forms of gender/sexual variance that are positioned as relatively regional or local on the other. Keywords transgender; gender identity; India; South Asian studies; decolonization; LGBTQI ow does the transnational expansion of “transgender” as a rubric of identity H and activism appear when we look at the phenomenon from the vantage point of communities and social movements of gender-variant persons in the global South, specifically South Asia? This essay is a set of reflections arising out of prolonged conversations in which we compared notes on our respective experi- ences as activist (Raina) and ethnographer (Aniruddha, henceforth Ani) working among, and to different extents belonging to, gender/sexually marginalized com- munities in eastern India.

  • Letter of Solidarity with JNU Students and Faculty from Professionals, Academics, Artists in West Bengal
    Letter of Solidarity with JNU students and faculty from professionals, academics, artists in West Bengal Reclaiming Dissent The recent forceful and spectacular big-media injunction on debating and ‘intellectualizing’ issues of nationhood and its summary recommendation of the strict enforcement of executive police rule as substitute of such debate has probably been etched deep in the minds of many a primetime news-viewer in our country. We, the undersigned, are writing this note to strongly disagree with this unsolicited injunction that seeks to exorcise all oppositional opinion and thus fundamentally imperils the practice of democracy in this country. This attempt at curbing strains of opposition lies also at the heart of the recent chain of reactions of the ruling coalition and the central government to a purportedly “cultural programme” which was to be held at JNU on the 9th of February to publicly discuss the question of Kashmiri self-determination. What follows in this note hopes to vindicate our right but also our duty to hold such oppositional views and presents our claims and demands concerning the recent series of events surrounding JNU. As stated time and again, the intention of the students organising the event of 9th February was to continue the discussions and debates on Kashmir’s political character and on the morality of capital punishment in a civilized nation. We find the alarmism surrounding this event both after and before it was going to be held to be motivated by a sinister design. The sustenance of such debates in the public discourse of the nation-state is of course only to be expected as they were initiated by none other than the founding figures of the nation and the republic - Ambedkar, Gandhi, Tagore and Nehru.

  • Bethune College
    Bethune College A Presentation on ANNUAL Report 2017-18 • We take great pleasure in presenting before the august assembly a brief report of activities and achievements of the College during the session 2017-18. • As the First Women’s College in Asia, this institution began its journey in 1879 with only one student Kadambini Ganguly (nee Basu),who subsequently went ahead to become the first female physician in South Asia. • Today the College leads innumerable girl students from different social strata to being a generation of Indian women who, inspired by their glorious heritage would combine dignity with forthrightness, have minds that are truly illuminated, and can become dynamic, mature and large hearted citizens of the world in the truest sense of the term. It is our goal that the pupils of this College should not only have a deep human commitment but be able to create a space for themselves in the global scenario. • Reaccredited in 2015 with the 'A' grade again, Bethune College celebrates years of quality enhancement and sustenance. It has been our eternal endeavour to adopt novel initiatives and strategies keeping in mind the recommendations of the NAAC Peer Team. With generous help and encouragement of the Governing Body, administrative and financial assistance from the Department of Higher Education, Government of West Bengal and constant cooperation from all the stakeholders, Bethune College has played a major role in contributing to the cause of women in the country, producing empowered and enlightened individuals.

Both Bihar and West Bengal are known for radical peasant and student mobilizations during and after the struggle against the colonial rule. While Bihar has also experienced spates of identity based (chiefly along the axis of caste) political movements, which raised the issue of social justice as the core of popular politics, West Bengal is yet to witness any mass-based popular movement against caste hierarchies, while giving birth to huge popular movements on issues of refugee rights, price rise, inflation, civil liberty, land rights, workers’ rights, etc. The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung–Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group research project on Popular Movements in West Bengal and Bihar (2016-2018) highlights and explores many such differences and similarities between the forms and trajectories of some of the popular movements that had taken place between the early fifties and the early nineteen-eighties in Bihar and West Bengal.The research was formulated in keeping with a three years’ time frame in mind. In the first year (2016), the themes which were covered included the refugee movement in West Bengal, tram and teachers’ movement in West Bengal, food movement in West Bengal, J P Movement in Bihar and Marxist Literary Discourses.
