Dr. Kawarjit Kaur S. Vikramjit Singh Sahney, Padma Shri Chairman Officiating Principal Mata Sundri College for Women 4 5 From Souvenir Committee From the Window of History Going through the maze of history is an arduous task but well worth it. While reading the old records of Gurudwara Parbhandhak Committee Delhi State I came across valuable facts that have now become a historical treasure of Mata Sundri College for Women. The facts shed a scintillating light on the noble idea of starting a Womens' College in Delhi. Mata Sundri College for Women since its inception has passed through three distinct phases. First Phase : The saga started in the March of 1961 when a team of leading eminent Sikh personalities – Jathedar Santokh Singh Ji, S. Gian Singh Vohra, S. Kirpa Singh, Principal Gurbachan Singh Bal took the initiative and thought of starting B.Ed. Classes in Girls Higher Secondary School located in Gurdwara Bangla Sahib. The Gurudwara Parbhandhak Committee Delhi State passed and adopted a resolution on 19.9.1961 to this effect and sought permission of University of Delhi for starting B.Ed. Classes for 200 girl students in Girls Higher Secondary School Bangla Sahib. The application was considered by Academic Council of Delhi University in its meeting held on 2nd November, 1961. The Academic Council then forwarded it to the Faculty of Education for consideration. After getting feedback from Faculty of Education it was denied by Academic Council of Delhi University in its meeting held on 6th Feburary, 1962. Though it was a setback, the leading There are times in the histories of institutions, when the glory is dedicated Gurudwara Parbhandhak Committee team continued on thinking various options for celebrated, when milestones are revisited and past is commemorated as education of girls. an inspiration for a better future.

  • Mission to India
    Prime Minister’s Council & King David Society MISSION TO INDIA Main Mission March 3 - March 10, 2019 New Delhi u Agra u Mumbai You’ve seen the world. Traveled virtually everywhere. But whether you’ve already been to India or not — there’s one thing we can guarantee — you’ve never experienced it like you will with Federation. Traveling with us, you’ll go beyond tourism to an India that will capture your heart. It may happen while joining locals for dinner or holding the hand of a woman who weaves pashminas. But when you meet the child in the slums looking at you with the future in his eyes, when you listen to the young woman who says ‘thank you’ for giving her a chance — you’ll know that these moments are imprinted on your heart and will be with you forever. $7,750 Per Person (Double Occupancy) $1,945 Single Supplement Day 1 Arrive and Get Acclimated Sunday, March 3 New Delhi is home to a history of various kingdoms and empires; it’s been captured, ransacked and rebuilt several times — a story we, as Jews, are all too familiar with. Day 2 Cycle, Walk and Drive Your Way Through New Dehli Monday, March 4 Cycle through tree-lined Chandi Chowk market, filled with bustling shops, temples, silk traders and embroiderers. Visit two centuries-old UNESCO World Heritage sites. Revel in the magnificence of Humayun’s Tomb, constructed in honor of the 16th century Mughal emperor. Set amongst four imperial gardens, it was said to have inspired the design of the Taj Mahal.

  • Bollywood Lens Syllabus
    Bollywood's Lens on Indian Society Professor Anita Weiss INTL 448/548, Spring 2018 [email protected] Mondays, 4-7:20 pm 307 PLC; 541 346-3245 Course Syllabus Film has the ability to project powerful images of a society in ways conventional academic mediums cannot. This is particularly true in learning about India, which is home to the largest film industries in the world. This course explores images of Indian society that emerge through the medium of film. Our attention will be focused on the ways in which Indian society and history is depicted in film, critical social issues being explored through film; the depicted reality vs. the historical reality; and the powerful role of the Indian film industry in affecting social orientations and values. Course Objectives: 1. To gain an awareness of the historical background of the subcontinent and of contemporary Indian society; 2. To understand the sociocultural similarities yet significant diversity within this culture area; 3. To learn about the political and economic realities and challenges facing contemporary India and the rapid social changes the country is experiencing; 4. To learn about the Indian film industry, the largest in the world, and specifically Bollywood. Class format Professor Weiss will open each class with a short lecture on the issues which are raised in the film to be screened for that day. We will then view the selected film, followed by a short break, and then extensive in- class discussion. Given the length of most Bollywood films, we will need to fast-forward through much of the song/dance and/or fighting sequences.

  • Community Radio Journalism in India
    News by any other name: community radio journalism in India Bridget Backhaus* Griffith University, Australia Abstract Community radio journalism is a cultural resource that offers a voice to local communities and works to democratise media landscapes. Despite its indisputable value, community radio journalism in India faces a unique set of challenges: the foremost being that, officially, it does not exist. According to government policy, community radio stations are prohibited from broadcasting any news and current affairs content. The situation is further complicated by the presence of a development discourse underpinning the entire rationale for the sector. Instead of serving their listeners, community radio stations are beholden to a nebulous ‘development’ agenda. Under such circumstances, it is unsurprising that community radio journalism in India is relatively unexplored in the literature. This paper aims to address this gap by exploring how community radio practitioners in India source content and work around their restrictions in order to provide their listeners with relevant information and news. Keywords Community radio, India, news, journalism, development, social change Introduction Community radio is considered to be a voice for the voiceless and a stronghold of alternative views. Similarly, community radio journalism also has a tradition of democratising the media and acting as a cultural resource to provide communities with a local voice (Forde, Meadows & Foxwell-Norton, 2002). In India however, community radio journalism faces a unique set of challenges: the foremost of which being that, officially, it does not exist. Government policy prevents community radio stations in India from broadcasting any news or current affairs coverage. Employing the concept of community radio as rhizome as a theoretical framework, this article explores the fluid and contingent nature of community radio news and journalism in an environment where it officially does not exist.

  • Festivals of the Sikh Faith
    FESTIVALS OF THE SIKH FAITH Introduction Sikhism is the youngest of the great world faiths. There are 20-22 million Sikhs in the world, tracing the origin of their religion to Punjab, located in present-day Pakistan and northern India. Now the fifth largest in the world, the Sikh religion is strictly monotheistic, believing in one supreme God, free of gender, absolute, all pervading, eternal Creator. This universal God of love is obtained through grace, sought by service to mankind. Sikhism is a belief system that teaches justice, social harmony, peace and equality of all humanity regardless of religion, creed, and race. Sikhism places great value on human life as an opportunity to live the highest spiritual life through their religious commitment to honest living and hard work. Sikhs are students and followers of Guru Nanak (b.1469), the founder of the Sikh religious tradition, and the nine prophet-teachers – called Gurus – who succeeded him. Sikhs have their own divine scriptures collected in the Guru Granth Sahib, written by the Gurus themselves, which today serves as the eternal spiritual guide of the Sikhs. Besides the compositions of the Gurus, it also contains the writings of Hindu and Muslim saints. Sikh Festivals Sikh festivals are called gurpurabhs or days connected with important events in the lives of the Gurus. They are occasions for the re-dedication and revival of the Faith and are celebrated in a spirit of fellowship and devotion. They are usually celebrated at gurdwaras (Sikh place of worship), open to all men and women without distinction of caste, creed or colour.

  • Silence and Memory: Violence Against Women During the Partition of 1947
    SILENCE AND MEMORY: VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN DURING THE PARTITION OF 1947 Pronoma Debnath TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin December 2016 __________________________________________ Syed Akbar Hyder Department of South Asian Studies Supervising Professor __________________________________________ Michael Anderson Department of International Relations Second Reader 1 2 ABSTRACT Author: Pronoma Debnath Title: Silence and Memory: Violence Against Women During the Partition of 1947 Supervising Professors: Syed Akbar Hyder, Michael Anderson For my thesis, I am focusing on the abduction, dissimulation, and recovery of women during the Partition of India in 1947. Women were used as political tools between various religious groups during the tumultuous violence of Partition, and one of the ways this manipulation manifested itself was through the abduction of women from one religious community by men from another community. Women often assimilated into the new community, dissimulating from their previous identity and adopting a new culture. Later, the governments of both India and Pakistan attempted to reclaim the women as a way of creating a national identity. Women were also violated by men from their own communities, a violence that has traditionally been overlooked. The threads of sexuality and identity make talking about this period and these particular events very difficult, and many women who lived through these experiences have remained quiet, a silence that is important to discuss. This silence also affects the collective and individual memory of Partition. Narratives are created to emphasize or erase violence in the midst of this silence, and this affects our perceptions of Partition. This thesis will present the abduction of women during Partition in the context of a legacy of British colonialism, as well as the ramifications of the event for South Asia today.
