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. On similar grounds, we as part of the media fraternity should endeavour to focus more on constructive journalism. The collective strength of the countrymen would lead India to the path of becoming a global leader. Traditionally, ‘Bharat’ has been the ‘Vishav Guru’ in terms of disseminating knowledge to the whole world. We all have to attempt to create that type environment in which India lead the world. To our dearest alumni, I urge them to be the leaders and the icons for the existing students. I expect them to maintain the brand value and the legacy of the IIMC. In whatsoever profession they are they should be helping hands for the future students. I am aware of the eorts of the IIMCAA and appreciate its hard work to help alma maters of IIMC in providing scholarships for the needy students, recognition of professional work through awards and felicitation and personal support to the students of IIMC. I believe alma maters of IIMC greet each other as the member of the family during their interactions outside the premise as well. IIMC is striving for ‘Centre of Excellence’ and this excellence is unimaginable without the support from alma maters. As a human being, you should not think about where life will take you. You should only think about where you want to take it. That will lead you to the path of a meaningful life. Prof. Sanjay Dwivedi Director General, IIMC Patron, IIMC Alumni Association EDITOR’S MESSAGE I am pleased to present another successful edition of the IIMCAA souvenir. The occasion is all the more satisfying as we have been through a year when the pandemic COVID took a severe toll of the nation. It is indeed an achievement that IIMCAA has been able to stage its marque event at all. IIMCAA has worked hard, reaching out to members in India and in Nepal, Bangladesh, Dubai, and Singapore where connections meets were held. We continue to have active chapters in Australia, Canada, Germany (other European nations as well), China and Ghana. The IFFCO IIMCAA Awards has seen the jury model being changed to members voting this year, in what was considered to be a useful experiment. We also pressed ahead with IIMCAA scholarships and reached out to members in need, particularly in the context of COVID. There were Silver Jubilee Batch and Golden Jubilee Batch felicitations. It is a remarkable moment to recognise alums who are completing 25 and 50 years after nishing their study at IIMC. The 1995-96 is Silver and 1970-71 is the Golden batch. The events would not have materialised without a tireless and dedicated team that works hard to make connections, sponsorship, logistics, content and design come together. A special mention here to Puja Mishra who looks after design, content, coordination from agency to the printer stage. I wish all current students and alums of IIMC the very best. Rajeev Deshpande EJ, Delhi 1986-1987 Batch Chief of National Bureau, The Times of India PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE 2020 has been an unprecedented year. A global pandemic that forced us to make choices and changes that were hitherto unheard of. Work from home is now the ‘new’ normal as are masks and sanitizers. It was also a very trying time for business and industry and the lockdown across the world hit media businesses harder than some others. It is these unprecedented and trying times that I have has the opportunity to serve an extended term as the President of the IIMC Alumni Association and welcome you to the 9th edition of Connections. As we come out of what undoubtedly is one of the darkest years in modern times, things are looking up and India and the world are ghting back with vaccines and safety standards. It is with hope and renewed vigour that I welcome all the alumni to IIMCAA Connections 2021. Two decades ago, I began my professional journey after securing admission to the course in Radio and TV Journalism. Over the next two decades, the lessons learned inside these red brick walls have served me well. And many of the friends made on campus continue to be partners in crime professionally and personally. Over the last 7-8 years, my memories have been refreshed and the connection rekindled through the alumni association. It has been my privilege to serve as the President of the IIMC Alumni Association since 2018 and as my term comes to end, I am humbled by the experience. I am also grateful to my small but extremely dedicated team — a bunch of alumni who have been driving all initiatives and, this year, have surpassed themselves in putting this event together. While we reach out to the widest possible network of communicators, there remains a question of sustaining not just this event but the alumni association itself. As the organisation grows year on year and expands beyond the borders of India, we nd ourselves increasingly constrained by the demands of nances and time. I urge all alumni gathered here, or those reading this message, to extend a helping hand in making your association successful. I take this opportunity to wish all IIMC alum godspeed and the best of health.

In a way, my association with the alma mater is unique. I had the fortune of being a part of the rst batch of the Dhenkanal campus. It was also here that I met my better half Mitali. Both of us started our careers as journalists, and I must say that the baby steps we took at the institute helped us build a fruitful career in the media sector over the years.

    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 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.

    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.

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.
