  • Androcentrism in Indian Sports
    Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology Issn No : 1006-7930 Androcentrism in Indian sports Bijit Das [email protected] Ph.D. Research Scholar, Department of Sociology Dibrugarh University Dibrugarh, Assam, India 786004 Abstract The personality of every individual concerning caste, creed, religion, gender in India depends on the structures of society. The society acts as a ladder in diffusing stereotypes from generation to generation which becomes a fundamental constructed ideal type for generalizing ideas on what is masculine or feminine. The gynocentric and androcentric division of labor in terms of work gives more potential for females in household works but not as the position of males. This paper is more concentrated on the biases of women in terms of sports and games which are male- dominated throughout the globe. The researcher looks at the growing stereotypes upon Indian sports as portrayed in various Indian cinemas. Content analysis is carried out on the movies Dangal and Chak de India to portray the prejudices shown by the Indian media. A total of five non-fictional sports movies are made in India in the name of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013), Paan Singh Tomar(2012), MS Dhoni: An untold story(2016), Azhar(2016), Sachin: A billion dreams(26 May 2017) are on male sportsperson whereas only two movies are on women, namely Mary Kom (2014), Dangal(2017). This indicates that male preference is more than female in Indian media concerning any sports. The acquaintance of males in every sphere of life is being carried out from ancient to modern societies. This paper will widen the perspectives of not viewing society per media but to the independence and equity of both the sex in every sphere of life.

It is a study depicting arrival of a young man full of immense potential, his technique of stewardship leading into staggering success with some share of controversies along the stunning journey. Dhoni was handed over the captaincy of the team in 2007 and he took the cricketing world by storm with his unique style of leading the team. The case elucidates the journey of a small town boy who emerged as a stellar performer for Indian team. Under his leadership, Indian team went on the scale tall mountains courtesy his sheer grit and determination. The entire team had great belief in him and he as a skipper was liked and adored in the cricketing circles. His attributes of being mentally tough and leading from the front inspired players to put their best foot forward in every match in tricolors. Without an iota of doubt, Team India blossomed under his leadership and continues to do so as he passed the baton to young sensation and virtually the king of batting Virat Kohli. Keywords: Captain, Leadership, Great, Enigmatic, Performer Introduction Leadership, the quality of changing the attitude and behavior of your co- workers and instills in them the trait of zeal and confidence.

  • The History of Political Independence and Its Future
    The Time of Sovereignty: The History of Political Independence and its Future Dr. Richard Drayton Monday, November 28, 2016 Frank Collymore Hall Tom Adams Financial Centre It is a great honour, pleasure and privilege to give the Sir Winston Scott Memorial Lecture of the Central Bank of Barbados. It is particularly moving to me to look out at this crowd of 500 and see so many people I have known for over forty years, and in particular so many of the elders who formed me. I am conscious that my predecessors include such senior figures in the history of economics as Ernst Schumacher and the Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz and such deans of Caribbean intellectual life as Rex Nettleford and Gordon Rohlehr. I am particularly humbled, as a Barbadian, to give this 41st Lecture as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the independence of Barbados. (Clearly, Rihanna was unavailable). I came to this island from Guyana only as a boy of 8. So it was not from hazard of birth but mature choice that I joined you in citizenship. I take no second place to the birth right Bajan in my love for this rock in which my roots are tangled with yours for all time. Our 50th anniversary is a joyful occasion. It is at the same time as a sobering one, when one reflects on the generations of ancestors, living and dying under conditions of the most extraordinary inhumanity, who made our presence today possible. If this Golden Jubilee celebration has any meaning, we need to remember why we sought political sovereignty.

  • Non-State Actors Reparations Commission Inc
    Non-State Actors Reparations Commission Inc. A Chronology of reparations, racial justice, and equality: by Rev. Buddy A. Larrier Introduction This paper is my contribution in response to the request for submissions to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and related intolerance. It is written not from an established historian, an educator or an intellectual perspective; simply as a person who is convinced that he has been commissioned either by God or the ancestors to assist in the search for truth, justice, peace, healing, and reconciliation towards the world becoming a better place. The paper does not seek to address history prior to the 14th century; its primary objective is to assist in the understanding of history from the 15th century - 1492 to present. This chronology is one aspect of the claim for reparatory justice and is based on my life’s experiences and research from 1977, which has led me to the understanding that there are two dates that are of major importance to every person living in the world today and will continue to be of importance for the rest of our lives. The first is the date on which that person is born, and the second is October 12. This being a fact of life my proposal to Her Excellency Ms. E. Tendayi Achiume, Special Repporteur is that in her report to the United Nations General Assembly for 2019 the date October 12 be recommended to be observed as the International Day for Reparations, for truth, justice, peace, healing, and reconciliation.
