PREFACE This subject was chosen with a view to recording the work done by women in various phases of the freedom struggle from 1857 to 1947. In the course of my study I found that women of India, when given an opportunity, did not lag behind in any field, whether political, administrative or educational. The book covers a period of ninety years. It begins with 1857 when the first attempt for freedom was made, and ends with 1947 when India attained independence. While selecting this topic I could not foresee the difficulties which subsequently had to be encountered in the way of collecting material.

    Like those in his earlier book, The Losers Shall Inherit the World, these articles too were first published in Frontier and deal with current socio-economic-cultural issues of a diverse range of topics. These include, Sanskrit, Hinduism, Bhimsen Joshi, Education Manifesto, Euthanasia, Small States, Population, Cities, Peak Oil and the Politics of Non-Violence. There are also two small articles dealing with the Passion (Christ’s suffering at the Cross) and the concept of Liberation. ‘If a political activist can be defined as a person who is not only trying to promote the interests of his own particular group or class but trying, generally speaking, to create a better world, then she must first have a good understanding of the state of the present-day world. And then Vijayendra’s article (Yugant in this book) is a must-read for her, because it is an excellent short introduction to the subject.’ Saral Sarkar, author of Eco-Socialism You can read this book online or download a copy at www.peakoilindia.org REQUIEM FOR OUR TIMES T.

  • Depicting the Indian Diaspora

    Depicting the Indian Diaspora

    THE INDIAN DIASPORA & AN INDIAN IN COWBOY COUNTRY © Pradeep Anand Harvard University, April 24, 2007 www.pradeepanand.com When the South Asian organizers at Harvard University told me that the audience was interested in discussing how authors depict the Indian Diaspora, I was confronted with a topic that I had not thought about, ever. I had not set out to create a work of fiction about the Diaspora and I had never seen my book, An Indian in Cowboy Country, through those lenses before. When forced to think about this topic, my knee-jerk reaction was to be conventional and think about the global Indian Diaspora – from India to Fiji, to West Indies, to Yuba City, to British Columbia, to the countries of the Indian Ocean, to Great Britain, Canada, and the United States. My mind immediately went to the big, macro historical picture, with all these turbid rivers of brown-skinned workforce flowing out of the country, migrating to unknown destinations. I saw these huge torrents flowing out of India and I was a particle in it. And then something made me look at my own family history. At first blush, it seemed like I was one of the seeds of the global Indian Diaspora for just one generation. But then I recognized a reality. My family uprooted itself three generations ago, when my grandfather moved to Bangalore. That’s where my father grew up and then, he, in his turn, moved to Bombay. I grew up in Bombay and then I moved from Bombay to Texas. To put this in perspective, my family moved from a Tamil- speaking region to a Kannada-speaking one, then to a Marathi/Gujarati-speaking one, and finally to an English speaking one (at least for now).

Looking at Popular Muslim Films through the Lens of Genre Asmita Das Department of Film Studies, Jadavpur University, Kolkata. ORCID: 0000-0002-7307-5818. Email: [email protected] Received February 25, 2017; Revised April 9, 2017; Accepted April 10, 2017; Published May 7, 2017. Abstract This essay engages with genre as a theory and how it can be used as a framework to determine whether Islamicate or the Muslim films can be called a genre by themselves, simply by their engagement with and representation of the Muslim culture or practice. This has been done drawing upon the influence of Hollywood in genre theory and arguments surrounding the feasibility / possibility of categorizing Hindi cinema in similar terms. The essay engages with films representing Muslim culture, and how they feed into the audience’s desires to be offered a window into another world (whether it is the past or the inner world behind the purdah). It will conclude by trying to ascertain whether the Islamicate films fall outside the categories of melodrama (which is the most prominent and an umbrella genre that is represented in Indian cinema) and forms a genre by itself or does the Islamicate form a sub-category within melodrama. Keywords: genre, Muslim socials, socials, Islamicate films, Hindi cinema, melodrama. 1. Introduction The close association between genre and popular culture (in this case cinema) ensured generic categories (structured by mass demands) to develop within cinema for its influence as a popular art.

The work tries to describe the current state of knowledge concerning socially conditioned language variation in the subcontinent. Each of five major language families contains numerous mutually intelligible and unintelligible dialects. Different dialects of a language may be required for 'written and spoken use and for different social groups. Bilingualism and multilingualism are common for communication between groups. Language choice is important for education, politics, radio and television. Chapter 2 of this book enumerates criteria used in the taxonomy of language forms, discussing a number of theories of dialect formation from the points of view of linguistic innovation and diffusion of linguistic change. Chapter 3 surveys literature on classification of South Asian languages. Chapter 4 considers South Asia as a distinct linguistic area and Chapter 5 evaluates literature on South Asian social dialects. Chapter 6 examines linguistic codes encompassing elements from more than one autonomous language.

    Special Feature RAVI VASUDEVAN The Meanings of ‘Bollywood’ One of the dominant senses of our contemporary times is a massive sense of change in Indian urban life. Several nodes of transformation have been identified as the source of these changes, especially those of economic liberalization and globalization. In the wake of the massive debt to the World Bank incurred by the Indian economy at the end of the 1980s, the Indian government undertook to start dismantling a protectionist regime initiated after Independence to shore up local industrial growth, in order to invite foreign direct investment, including non-resident Indian investment, and to open the Indian market to foreign goods and competition.1 One of the noticeable changes of this period is the rapid transformation of urban landscapes in line with this new set of compulsions. The clearing of key urban spaces of slum settlements, pavement dwellings and street vending has been inaugurated to set up new markets, malls and entertainment spaces, with a view to build a powerful consumer economy. This efflorescence of a new commodity culture and urbanism has gone hand in hand with contests of various types, specifically on issues of property right, the deployment of municipal government to take over lands, and the displacement of working populations. The new urbanism has also had a complicated intersection with urban environmentalism, as the presence of polluting small factories and workshops in residential areas has given rise to campaigns for industrial relocation, again with considerable impact on a mass of the urban working class. 2 Along with this new urbanism and consumer economy, the contemporary period has showcased new types of production centered on information and communication technology, and the high profile given by government and corporate sectors to this area on the basis of the impact made by Indian Information Technology know-how in the global market.
