  • The Relevance and Potential of Buddhist Pedagogy in Mauritius
    ================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 21:8 August 2021 ================================================================ The Relevance and Potential of Buddhist Pedagogy in Mauritius Roshan Boodnah, Ph.D. Scholar Lecturer & Head, Department of Philosophy School of Indological Studies Mahatma Gandhi Institute Mauritius Contact No: +230 57722844 [email protected] ==================================================================== Abstract Mauritius, situated in the Indian Ocean and in the East coast of Africa, is a multi-cultural island, often called as the “rainbow” island. As a vibrant part of the Indian Diaspora, Mauritius shares strong cultural, educational, religious, and economical lineage with India. The triumph of the indentured labourers from India who settled in the island in the mid-18th century is to a great extent attributed to their spirit of tolerance and endurance, set of values, and wisdom that they carried from the Mother land, India. Along with the Rāmacaritamānasa, they also carried along the intangible Buddhist values and ethos that were instrumental in developing their settlements amidst colonial suppression. It is against this backdrop that this paper intends to analyse as to how Buddhist teachings found expression as way of life in a multicultural and multiracial set up. It proposes to survey the teaching and learning of Buddhist Philosophy in the Mauritian Educational Curriculum and to propose the centrality of Buddhist ethics as a strong pillar of Buddhist Pedagogy and Didactics for a sustainable future with disciplined and confident youth. Youth should be inspired to become accomplished in virtue by following the moral guidelines spelled out by the Five Precepts (pañca-śīla) by strong vectors. Therefore, to be able to propagate the ethical teachings of Buddha, educational reforms should be brought in the pre- primary and primary curricula.

  • Life on Sugar Estates in Colonial Mauritius

Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jaa.v6n2a1 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jaa.v6n2a1 Life on Sugar Estates in Colonial Mauritius Mrs Rashila Vigneshwari Ramchurn1 Abstract This research paper seeks to examine life of descendants of indentured labourers on sugar estates in Mauritius. Attempt will be made to unravel gender disparity in all its forms. This study demonstrates how the bourgeoisie exploited and dominated the proletariat and preserved the status quo from the Marxist perspective as well as other theoretical approaches. Empirical data has been collected by conducting qualitative research using the face to face unstructured interview with elders aged 70 years to 108 years in the Republic of Mauritius and critical analysis of speeches of the leader of the Mauritius Labour Party. Secondary data has also been employed through qualitative research. The interviews were recorded in the year 2016,2018 and 2018 on digital recorder, transcribed and translated in English. All of the researches have been carried out objectively in a systematic manner so as to erase any bias in the study conducted. 70% of modern Mauritians are descendants of the indentured labourers. 1.1. Introduction Mauritius is an island in the South West Indian Ocean. Four hundred years ago there was no indigenous population on the island. All the people in Mauritius are immigrants. Mauritius has known three waves of immigrants namely the Dutch, the French and the British.

Slavery and Post Slavery in the Indian Ocean World. Alessandro Stanziani 2. Summary (150-300 words). Unlike the Atlantic, slavery and slave trade in the Indian Ocean lasted over a very long term – since the 8th century at least down to our days- involved many actors which cannot be resumed to the tensions between the “West and the rest”. Multiple forms of bondage, debt dependence, and slavery persisted and coexisted. This chapter follows the emergence and evolution of slavery and forms of bondage in the Indian Ocean World in pre-colonial, then colonial and post-colonial time. Routes, social origins, labor and other activities, and forms of emancipation will be detailed. 3 Keywords (5-10) Debt bondage; servitude; caste; legal statute; domestic slavery; women; children; recruitment, abolitionism; indentured labor; runaways. 4 Essay: Slavery and bondage in the IOW (5000-8000 words) The Indian Ocean World is a vast region running, from Africa to the Far East in its wider interpretation, from Africa to India in a more narrow identification.
