  • 'Sisters Under the Skin'
    Special articles ‘Sisters under the Skin’ Events of 2002 and Girls’ Education in Ahmedabad Even after the immediate violence has ceased, communal tension continues to exercise a vitiating influence on citizens and everyday modes of existence. This article looks at two girls’ schools in Ahmedabad, one sited in a Muslim locality and the other in a mixed dalit-Muslim populated neighbourhood, to study the impact of the events of 2002 on education. Fear and a history of violence have fostered antagonisms among different communities, while diminishing job opportunities and poverty imply that education opportunities, once available for girls, no longer exist. Denial of education, in turn, perpetuates illiteracy and trends towards an early marriage. The policies of a state government that sees communities as political votebanks have done little to restore amity between communities and faith in the state’s “secular” credentials. SUCHITRA SHETH, NINA HAEEMS he events of 2002 in Gujarat have generally perceived as is located did not directly experience violence during 2002.

Without doubt, this was the principal eyewitnesses to the events of 2002. tragedy that left scars on the entire Muslim community.

Taking a closer look at the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the authors explore the political tensions, social dynamics and economic forces thal contributed to making the state what it is today, the impact of the British policies; the process of industrialization and urbanization^ and the rise of the middle class; the emergence of the idea of '5wadeshi“; the coming £ G and hr and his attempts to transform society and politics by bringing together diverse Gujarati cultural sources; and the series of communal riots that rocked Gujarat even as the state was consumed by nationalist fervour.

The ICICI Home Finance Company team undertook a detailed city survey and presented below are the key highlights of the report. The development of residential townships, malls, office spaces and flyovers are some of the growth stimulators changing the cityscape of Ahmedabad. Maximum activity in terms of planned residential, commercial and retail development can be witnessed in this western micro market of Ahmedabad. Residential real estate of Ahmedabad is dominated by private players and the market is also heavily driven by an active investor base, with most of the participants plowing capital market profits into the real estate markets. Real estate scenario in the city has been stagnant in the near term, owing to the increased home loan rates and slowdown in the equity markets. However, in the long term, we see an appreciation of 9–10% YoY in property prices over the next 5 years, due to the inherent demand and the continued pace of infrastructure developments in the city.
