The success of the project lied in freeing the craftsman and the artisan from the stranglehold of the middlemen and bringing them into direct contact with buyers both within the country and outside. Dilli Haat offers the visiting tourist not only the arts and handicrafts of the country at one place, but also the cuisine and performing arts from different parts of the country. While developing the concept, it was kept in mind that when a 'Haat' comes to the city, it has to adjust to urban contemporary needs while retaining the cultural ambience familiar to rural crafts people. The Dilli Haat Food and Craft Bazaar is a joint project of Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation (DTTDC) and New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC). The project has received technical and financial support from the Ministry of Textiles. See http://www.india-crafts.com/crafts_village/dilli_hat/ 7:30 pm Optional Dinner/Show/Free Day 6 Fri.

In the 1930s Mahatma Gandhi re-named it the Harijan ashram, as he foreswore his followers to continue his battle against untouchability. "Satyagraha" means insistence and adherence to truth, in a non-violent manner. Initially the term "passive resistance" was used to describe non-violent protest but Gandhi insisted that Satyagraha was more than that. Satyagraha was a way of life, an evolving technique to bring change without violence. "Ahimsa" (non-violence) to Gandhi was imperative as a search for truth involved fighting injustice. Fighting injustice required one to love fellow beings and this love demanded non- violence. Gandhi believed it was necessary to first feel for the oppressed then fight for justice, thus making Satyagraha a "truth" and "justice" seeking force.. http://www.mkgandhi.org/museum/Sabarmati.htm 4pm: Visit to Gujarat University Tour of University and Discussion with Dr. Sudarshan Iyengar, Vice-Chancellor 5:30-7 pm: Shopping 7:00: Back at hotel 8:00: Dinner / discussion Day 10 Tues.

  • Conquest of Knowledge: the British in India
    MRHD: Scheme on Global Initiative on Academic Network (GIAN) Conquest of Knowledge: The British in India Faculty: Vinay Lal | Professor of History | University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Email: [email protected] Avishek Ray | Assistant Professor | Dept. of Humanities & Social Sciences | NIT Silchar Email: [email protected] Course Overview: What colonialism has done to the world -- the postcolonial democracies in particular -- during the last two centuries is astonishing in terms of the scale of social change it has ‘engineered’, and devastating in terms of its impact on depleting the diversity of ‘knowledge production’ that existed outside the (West) European frames of ‘modernity’. This course examines the transformations wrought in India by the British, principally in the intellectual technologies of governance, rather than focusing, as was common for many decades, on histories riveted upon military conquests, the lives of proconsuls, or imperial policies and nationalist responses. It ventures into a sustained critique of the colonial systems of knowledge and the pervasive categories they furnish through which the world is sought to be understood, whether in the erstwhile colonies or beyond. This course can reasonably be described as being grounded in the philosophical and political insights that are to be derived from the work of Bernard Cohn, Michel Foucault, Edward Said, and Ashis Nandy, among others, and will invite the participants to reflect on a set of pressing questions: What were the forms of knowledge produced

  • How Family Planning Changed Under Indira Gandhi's Emergency
    Questions of Ethics: How Family Planning Changed Under Indira Gandhi’s Emergency Hannah Johnson The Indian Emergency years of 1975-1977 were a period in which Indira Gandhi ruled with an iron fist. Family planning laws were something that was not new to India during this complicated period, however. The history of population issues in India is longer than the country’s independence, so why is this particular era remembered specifically for its family planning initiatives? The ways in which the policies that were created during this period were more aggressive, unethical, and debatable will be examined in this paper. The first section will look at a brief history of family planning in India in order to be able to compare it to that of the Emergency. The next section will examine the methods used to get Indian people to participate in the family planning drives and efforts – specifically the unethical methods used on lower caste Indians. The following section will observe the influence that Indira Gandhi’s son Sanjay Gandhi had on the movement and arguably crafted it into what we know it as today. The final section will look at the idea that family planning efforts completely took over everyday life for Indians, and the idea that one could not escape sterilization. As previously stated, family planning initiatives were by no means new to India during the Emergency under Indira Gandhi; we can however argue that the drives that occurred during this period were the most aggressive through unethical practices and controversial means, created by the central government.
