    Expectant Urbanism Time, Space and Rhythm in A

    EXPECTANT URBANISM TIME, SPACE AND RHYTHM IN A SMALLER SOUTH INDIAN CITY by Ian M. Cook Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Professor Daniel Monterescu CEU eTD Collection Professor Vlad Naumescu Budapest, Hungary 2015 Statement I hereby state that the thesis contains no material accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. The thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgment is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Budapest, November, 2015 CEU eTD Collection Abstract Even more intense than India's ongoing urbanisation is the expectancy surrounding it. Freed from exploitative colonial rule and failed 'socialist' development, it is loudly proclaimed that India is having an 'urban awakening' that coincides with its 'unbound' and 'shining' 'arrival to the global stage'. This expectancy is keenly felt in Mangaluru (formerly Mangalore) – a city of around half a million people in coastal south Karnataka – a city framed as small, but with metropolitan ambitions. This dissertation analyses how Mangaluru's culture of expectancy structures and destructures everyday urban life. Starting from a movement and experience based understanding of the urban, and drawing on 18 months ethnographic research amongst housing brokers, moving street vendors and auto rickshaw drivers, the dissertation interrogates the interplay between the city's regularities and irregularities through the analytical lens of rhythm. Expectancy not only engenders violent land grabs, slum clearances and the creation of exclusive residential enclaves, but also myriad individual and collective aspirations in, with, and through the city – future wants for which people engage in often hard routinised labour in the present.

According to one view “ Kannur” is the variation of Kanathur, an ancient village, the name of which survive even today in ont! of the wards of Canna­ nore MunicipaUty. Perhaps, like several other ancient towns of Kerala, Cannanore also is named after one of the deities of the Hindu Pantheon. Thus “ Kannur” is the compound of the two words ‘Kannan’ meaning Lord Kris;hna, and TJr’ meaning place, the place of Lord Krishna, Short history of Cannanore Cannanore, the northernmost district of Kerala State, is constituted of territories which formed part of the erst­ while district ol' Malabar and South Ganara, prior to the rc-organisation of the States in 1956. Cannanore district was formed on January 1, 1957 by trifurcating the erstwhile Malabar district of the former Madras State. The district has a distinct history of its own which is in many rcspects independent of the history of other regions oi the State.
  • Does Medieval Political System of Tulunadu Represents Lower Feudalism…?

    Does Medieval Political System of Tulunadu Represents Lower Feudalism…?

    DOES MEDIEVAL POLITICAL SYSTEM OF TULUNADU REPRESENTS LOWER FEUDALISM…? Dr. SURESH RAI K. Associate Professor of History Historically, Tulunadu, is the undivided district of Dakshina Kannada in Karnataka and Kasaragod district in Kerala State. The nomenclature ‘Dakshina Kannada’ is used here to refer to the present Dakshina Kannada district together with Udupi district separated in 1998, which were jointly referred to as ‘South Canara’ earlier. ‘South Canara’ was an extensively used term during colonial time, and it has been retained in special circumstances and while mentioning colonial records. The name ‘Kanara’, which was formerly spelt as ‘Canara’ is derived from Kannada, the name of the regional language of the State. It appears that the Portuguese, who, on arrival in this part of India, found the common linguistic medium of the people to be Kannada, and accordingly called the area ‘Canara’; ‘d’ being not much in use in Portuguese. This name applied to the whole coastal belt of Karnataka and was continued to be used as such by the British. It is therefore necessary to deploy Tulunadu to refer to the ‘cultural zone’ that included Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, and Kasaragod districts. The present districts of Karnataka like North Canara, South Canara, Udupi and Kasaragod of Kerala were known as the Canara and Soonda Province, which was under the Madras Presidency. In 1799 AD, after the fall of Tippu Sultan, Tulunadu was brought under the new Canara province. The northern region of Canara province was called North Canara. The same names continued as North and South Kanara after the unification of Karnataka State.

As a result, Kerala now has some of the Third World's highest levels of health, education, and social justice. Originally published in 1989, this book traces the role that movements of social justice played in Kerala's successful struggle to redistribute wealth and power. A 21-page introduction updates the earlier edition. This book underlines the following positive lessons that the Kerala experience offers to developing countries: Radical reforms deliver benefits to the poor even when per capita incomes remain low. Popular movements and militant progressive organizations with dedicated leaders are necessary to initiate and sustain reform. Despite their other benefits, radical reforms cannot necessarily create employment or raise per capita income.
  • Shaping of the 'Modern Islamic Woman' in Coastal Karnataka, India

    Shaping of the 'Modern Islamic Woman' in Coastal Karnataka, India

    Shaping of the ‘Modern Islamic Woman’ in Coastal Karnataka, India: Transnational Experiences and English Education amongst the Beary Muslim Community SULAGNA MUSTAFI NIAS and AISSR Paper to be presented at the First Annual Muslim South Asia Graduate Research Conference SOAS, London 28th October 2013 Conference organised by The Muslim South Asia Research Forum (MUSA), SOAS Centre for South Asian Studies (CSAS) and Centre for the Study of Pakistan (CSP) Abstract: Women are a central focus of ideas about identity that circulate within the transnational spaces formed by migration of Beary Muslims from the coastal Karnataka region to the Gulf countries. New ideas about Beary womanhood have emerged from these migration experiences, and circulated via transnational flows through several conduits, especially migrant-sponsored English-medium schools aimed at Beary women. Based on the responses gathered from female students of these schools, women from the community and other Beary informants, during an extensive fieldwork carried out in the region in 2011-2012, it appears that at the core of this concept of womanhood is the idea of the ‘Modern Islamic Women’. This narrative of womanhood wishes to expose the Beary woman to modern forces of transformation such as education and (appropriate) employment, but at the same time draw boundaries around their functional space by imposing ‘pure Islamic’ guidelines of behaviour. The paper will trace the growth and proliferation of the transnational channels, especially NRI (Non-Resident Indian) sponsored educational institutions, through which these ideas about the modern Islamic woman are being transmitted. It will show how practices of raising religious awareness have worked together with impulses towards modernisation to give rise to a new sense of modernity as well.

    The Native Ruler's Policy About the Christians of South Canara

    The native ruler’s policy about the Christians of South Canara depicted in the European writings Satish Gatti Research Scholar,Department of History,Bangalore University,Jnanabharathi, Bengaluru, Karnataka,Email: [email protected] , Mobile: 9480369138 Abstract: This article tries to show how thee European writings depicted the native rulers policy towards the Christians of South Canara. The European travelogues, missionary and colonial official documents were utilized as primary sources for the article. The rulers of Viajayanagara portrayed as tolerant and supportive towards Christians and even the attempt of conversion by the Portuguese missionary tolerated by them. The European writings considers it was under Keladi rulers the large number of Christians settled in South Canara. About Mysore Sultans, the European writings in general consider that the policy of Hyder towards Christians was liberal while Tipu followed the policy of suppression. Even there were difference among the European writings about the policy followed by Tipu Sultan towards the Christians of South Canara. Key Words: Rulers, Christians, European Writings Christianity entered India within a century of its establishment to the western coasts of Kerala. On the basis of St. Barthlomey tradition it was argued that the Christian settlement was established in Barkur and Kalllianpura and it was also stated the Syrian Christians settled in South Canara in the early stages of Christianity. But lack of historical evidence poses a problem to argue it vehemently.1 Vasanth
