I see the Australia India Institute as playing a vital role in cementing the relations between these two important players in the international system. In the next three years, we hope that the Australia India Institute will be recognised as a leading centre of intellectual dialogue and research partnerships between thinkers, scholars, analysts and practitioners from India and their counterparts in Australia. This will almost surely contribute to greater sensitivity, understanding and cooperation for the mutual benefit of the two countries. The key words here are dialogue, partnership, understanding and mutual benefit. At the Australia India Institute we will encourage and facilitate meaningful and creative intellectual exchanges, conversations and dialogue between leaders from the two countries on cutting edge issues across a range of disciplines. We hope to promote research partnerships in emerging areas of mutual interest ranging from global commons, governance, economic development and the environment to public health, education and peace and regional stability. We will do so by identifying key institutional partners in both countries. We will make an effort to ensure that these dialogues and partnerships can create better understanding of Australia in India and India in Australia and greater appreciation of each other’s concerns and sensitivities. Finally, we hope that this understanding will form the basis of greater cooperation in areas of mutual interest for the mutual benefit of the people and societies of both the countries. I consider my appointment to be a great honour as well as a great responsibility. But I am confident that we can meet the challenge of building a world class institute in Melbourne with a focus on India. Professor Amitabh Mattoo Director, Australia India Institute 2 As Chair of the Board of the Australia India Institute, I am delighted to write on the occasion of this, the first Annual Report of the Institute. The Institute is a critical initiative Reports of the University of Melbourne in its aim to engage strategically with India, a country which has received far Chairman of the Board – too little attention in the hearts and minds of Australia. The Institute is funded both by the University of The Hon Alex Chernov Melbourne and a grant from the Australian Government’s Department of Education, Employment and Workplace AO QC Relations (DEEWR). The Institute’s independent Board includes representatives from the University of Melbourne, the University of New South Wales and La Trobe University as well as DEEWR and Asialink.

Since its inception, the Institute has made substantial progress in the implementation of its strategic aims and, with the arrival of the Director, Professor Amitabh Mattoo, is well positioned to achieve its strategic goal as an internationally recognised centre of excellence for intellectual dialogue and research partnerships between Australia and India. In so doing, it will play a key role in strengthening and deepening the relationship between Australia and India. Hon.

  • 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).

Tehelka investigators had captured on spy camera the president of the BJP, Bangaru Laxman, the Samata Party president, Jaya Jaitly (described as the ‘Second Defence Minister’ by one of the middlemen interviewed on videotape), and several top Defence Ministry officials accepting money, or showing willingness to accept money for defence deals. · This they had managed to do through a sting operation named Operation West End, posing as representatives of a fictitious UK based arms manufacturing firm. · Tehelka claims it paid out Rs. 10,80,000 in bribes to a cast of 34 characters. · Among the shots forming part of the four-and-a-half hour documentary are those of Bangaru Laxman accepting one lakh and asking for the promised five lakhs in dollars! He did not deny accepting the money. Bangaru Laxman resigns as BJP president. · Even before screening of the tapes at a press conference at a leading hotel here was over, the issue rocked both Houses of Parliament forcing their adjournment with the opposition demanding an immediate government statement on the issue. · The Union government says it is prepared for an inquiry into the tehelka.com expose of the alleged involvement of top politicians and government officials in corrupt defence deals.

  • The Gist and Drift of God of Small Things
    www.ijcrt.org © 2021 IJCRT | Volume 9, Issue 3 March 2021 | ISSN: 2320-2882 The Gist and Drift of God of Small Things Anjali Research Scholar, Department of English & Foreign Languages M.D.U. Rohtak (Haryana) House No. 1191 sector 3 Rohtak (Haryana) Abstract: This paper aims to research on diaspora, hybridity and mistreatment of women in The God of Small Things. The writer and the character of Ammu are women. And they belong to diasporic community, the researcher wants to work on the role of women in Indian society. Other concepts are resistance and orientalism. Arundhati Roy portrays the predicament of women through her female characters belonging to three generations in this novel. In the novel, a sense of antagonism and division also infuse the difference senses of identity among the different generation of women. It also generates a line of the clash between the older and the younger generation. Family and political customs play a key role in disadvantaging women. Social constrains are so built up as to sanctify the persecution of women. This is because, in most of the civilizations, social structures are basically patriarchal. Arundhati’s novel challenges this position, though her avowed feminist stance. Keywords: Diaspora, Hybridity, Patriarchy , Political Activist, Homecoming, Feminism, Emotional, Masterful, Rebellious About the author: Indian author, actress, and political activist, Arundhati Roy, full name Suzanna Arundhati Roy, got glory with her first novel The God of Small Things which won the Man Booker Prize for Fiction. Also known for her involvement in environmental and human rights causes. She emerged an extraordinary writer of this present era possessing genuine, rebellious, reformative voice.

Eight of these essays were published (or republished) as chapters within my monograph Bombay Before Bollywood: Film City Fantasies, which aimed to outline the contours of an alternative history of twentieth-century Bombay cinema. The ninth, which complements these, was published in an annual reader. This project eschews the conventional focus on India’s more respectable genres, the so-called ‘socials’ and ‘mythologicals’, and foregrounds instead the ‘magic and fighting films’ – the fantasy and stunt genres – of the B- and C-circuits in the decades before and immediately after India’s independence.

Under such circumstances, the continuation of existing methods in rock fragmentation in such applications is questionable due to the proven adverse environmental impacts associated with them. In this regard; the possibility of using more environmentally friendly options as Soundless Chemical Demolition Agents (SCDAs) play a vital role in replacing harmful conventional rock fragmentation techniques for gas; oil and mineral recovery. This study reviews up to date research on soundless cracking demolition agent (SCDA) application on rock fracturing including its limitations and strengths, possible applications in the petroleum industry and the possibility of using existing rock fragmentation models for SCDA-based rock fragmentation; also known as fracking. Though the expansive properties of SCDAs are currently used in some demolition works, the poor usage guidelines available reflect the insufficient research carried out on its material’s behavior.
