I fondly remember my mother Rema Devi P.K,for her silent motivation, and also my brother Vishnu .S and family, for their affectionate encouragement. I am indebted to my in-law, Lekha .G.

Finally, I extend a very special gratitude to my grandmother Rajamma T M who has taught me the value of women education. I bow before her knowledge and powerful vision in life. I would like to dedicate my PhD thesis to my beloved grandmother. Aparns.

  • A Case-Study of NFSC's Project, Digital Community Archiving
    Understanding global knowledge-dynamics: A case-study of NFSC’s project, Digital Community Archiving - does it ‘protect or plunder’ the indigenous knowledge of the Nari Kuravar community? Padini Nirmal 1 1 Masters in International Development and Social Change, Clark University, Massachusetts Abstract Conference Sub-theme: New Commons Understanding global knowledge-dynamics: A case-study of NFSC’s project, Digital Community Archiving - does it ‘protect or plunder’ the indigenous knowledge of the Nari Kuravar community? Padini Nirmal [email protected] The relationship between indigenous knowledge (IK) and intellectual property rights (IPR) is currently mired in violence and abuse. Whether the marriage of two antithetical worldviews- the one of global capitalism and therefore IPR, and that of the ‘commons’ and therefore the IK- is sustainable, given the monolithic power of the former, is a critical question in many minds today. Looking into the particular case of the Digital Community Archiving project that chronicles the IK of the Nari Kuravar , allows an understanding of the global knowledge dynamic created when oral, local knowledge is made available publicly for the world on the internet. That this material is freely available without copyright/patents etc., brings in the IPR dimension, and asks whether IPR is at all relevant or necessary to protect this knowledge. In this paper, I try to understand the global power dynamics that accompany the commercialization of indigenous knowledge, the impact on the intellectual commons where

India was at the fore- front in condemning racial discrimination particularly apartheid and also the influence of super powers) on the internal affairs of independent nations. Her commitment to secure its citizens' free- dom, justice, equality and fraternity is reflected in the very preamble of the Indian Constitution. Towards achieving these challenging goals, special provisions have also been made in the Constitu- tion to protect and promote the interests of the most oppressed section of Indian society - tradition- ally known as Untouchables and Constitutionally as the Scheduled Castes. These provisions are ex- pected to alter the given unjust distribution of power (political and economic)

  • TRAFFIC Post, India Office Newsletter
    Alarm bells over rising pet trade in wild animals in India INFOCUS feature..... TRAFFIC Post TRAFFIC Post is TRAFFIC’s newsletter on wildlife trade in India. It was started in September 2007 with a primary aim to create awareness on rampant poaching and illegal wildlife trade in India and how it affects the endangered flora and fauna. Since then it has covered not only issues related to illegal wildlife trade but also highlighted policies and trends related to legitimate wildlife trade especially in timber and medicinal plants. The newsletter began as a quarterly e-newsletter available only for online distribution. However after a few issues it was converted into a printed edition with three issues coming out every year. The response to the newsletter over the years has been overwhelming and the subscribers continue to increase with every issue. Besides carrying updates on TRAFFIC’s work in India in a given period, the newsletter focuses on the plight of various species in illegal wildlife trade. It also provides early warning through its various sections on illegal wildlife trade trends. The CITES section and the OUTPOST section especially is meant to keep its readers updated on global news related to wildlife trade. Managing Editor: Dilpreet B.
