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).

What Does the Haryana Election Results Mean for the BJP and the Congress? 
What does the Haryana Election results mean for the BJP and the Congress? This is a Suno India Production and you are listening to The Suno India Show. Padma Priya(Host)- On Thursday, Haryana ended with a hung assembly with the ruling party BJP emerging with 40 seats but still six short of the halfway mark needed to form the next government. The split verdict triggered hectic political activity with two independents, the infamous Gopal Kanda and Ranjeet Singh boarding flights to Delhi for a meeting with the BJP leadership. By Friday afternoon, things had progressed quite a bit with the independents pledging their support to BJP thereby paving way for Khattar-led BJP party to stake claim to form the government again. The Congress won 31 seats, the Jannayak Janata Party won 10 seats in its maiden elections and the Indian National Lok Dal and Haryana Lokhit party one each. Aam Aadmi Party which contested 46 seats was completely decimated. Eight ministers of the state cabinet lost the elections and only 2 out of 10 ministers who were fielded by the BJP will be returning to the state assembly. The Suno India Show reached out to Ajoy Ashirwad, Deputy Editor of The Wire who has extensive political reporting experience to understand more what the Haryana results mean for the BJP and for the future of Congress party led by Bhupinder Hooda in Haryana. Hi I am Padma Priya, your host for this episode of The Suno India Show and you are listening to this on the one and only podcast platform for issues that matter Suno India.

Rahul Gandhi by : INVC Team Published on : 27 Sep, 2013 07:54 PM IST
Ordinance passed to shield convicted Lawmakers from disqualification should be torn up and thrown away: Rahul Gandhi By : INVC Team Published On : 27 Sep, 2013 07:54 PM IST INVC, Delhi, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi dropped a bombshell on Friday by saying that the ordinance passed by his cabinet to shield convicted lawmakers from disqualification "is a complete nonsense" and that "it should be torn up and thrown away."His statement comes after reports of a growing unease in the Congress over the ordinance started doing the rounds. Union minister Milind Deora and Congress leader Anil Shastri have already gone public with their reservations on the ordinance. Even senior Congress leaders Digvijaya Singh has called for a consensus. Gandhi made his statement after making a surprise brief appearance at a meet-the-press programme of his party's general secretary Ajay Maken at the Press Club in the national capital. "Now, I will tell you what is my opinion on the ordinance. It is complete nonsense, it should be torn up and thrown away. It is my personal opinion," he said. Rahul also stated that the argument given in "my organisation" is that "we need to do this because of political considerations. Everybody is doing this. The Congress does this, the BJP does this, the Samajwadi Party, the JD(U) does this.""It is time to stop this nonsense, political parties, mine and all others....If you want to fight corruption in the country whether it is Congress Party or BJP, we cannot continue making these small compromises. Because if we make these small compromises, then we compromise everywhere.

PM Exhorts Telecom Industry to Scale up Production to Meet Challenges Post 2020
PM Exhorts Telecom Industry to Scale Up Production to Meet Challenges Post 2020 NEW DELHI, December 5, 2013. The Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh has asked domestic telecom industry to gear up to build huge manufacturing base in India by 2020 that will require investments of $300 billion to supplying electronic equipment and relevant inputs to telecom manufacturers and restrict and contain its future imports and balance of payment (BOP) situation. The Department of Telecom (DOT) is working on an eco-system for electronics manufacturing activities to ensure its inclusive development, said the Prime Minister. “The Telecom Commission (TC) is engaged with expansion of telecom services in rural areas to achieve 70 per cent and 100 per cent teledensity by 2017 and 2020 respectively,” he added. Inaugurating INDIA TELECOM 2013 under aegis of the Department of Telecommunications and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) here today, Dr Singh also informed that efforts are on to install 2200 mobile towers with estimated investments of Rs 5300 crore, funds for which would be generated out of USO fund. Dr Singh emphasised that the government was committed to provide reliable and affordable telecom and broadband services to rural India and called upon private telecom players to come forward to network it with state owned players with telecom and broadband services as India’s vast part is yet to be connected with such services as to equip it with internet services. Rural India which has so far been restricted with mere 40 per cent teledensity, needs urgent attention of telecom service providers in a spirit of partnership as close to 56,000 villages still await to be connected with internet facilities though a vast part of India access net services through mobile phone, pointed out Dr Singh.

Mumbai Infrastructure: What Is and What Will Be?
MUMBAI INFRASTRUCTURE: WHAT IS AND WHAT WILL BE? Infrastructure development acts as a cornerstone for any city in order to determine the growth trajectory and to become an economic and real estate powerhouse. While Mumbai is the financial capital of India, its infrastructure has not been able to keep pace with the sharp rise in its demographic and economic profile. The city’s road and rail infrastructure is under tremendous pressure from serving a population of more than 25 million people. This report outlines major upcoming infrastructure projects and analyses their impact on the Mumbai real estate market. This report is interactive CBRE RESEARCH DECEMBER 2018 Bhiwandi Dahisar Towards Nasik What is Mumbai’s Virar Towards Sanjay Borivali Gandhi Thane Dombivli National current infrastructure Park framework like? Andheri Mumbai not only has a thriving commercial segment, but the residential real estate development has spread rapidly to the peripheral areas of Thane, Navi Mumbai, Vasai-Virar, Dombivli, Kalyan, Versova Ghatkopar etc. due to their affordability quotient. Commuting is an inevitable pain for most Mumbai citizens and on an average, a Mumbai resident Vashi spends at least 4 hours a day in commuting.
