  • Topic of the Week for Discussion: 24 Th to 30 Th Mar Ch 201 6
    Topic of the week for discussion: 24 th to 30 th Mar ch 201 6 Topic: Uttarakhand Crisis Brazen horse-trading in the political system is a blot on our democracy. One would have thought that the BJP would be different but as Arunachal Pradesh, and now Uttarakhand , shows nothing has changed. It is surprising that even the former Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna has joined the dissident camp. It is the turn of Uttarakhand now to face the devious game being played by the Centre to dethrone a democratically elected government. In this the BJP is proving itself to be a party with “no difference” when it comes to the question of dealing with non-BJP governments. Such ugly political games bring disrepute to the system of democracy. The political crisis in Uttarakhand continued over the weekend, as Governor K.K. Paul gave Chief Minister Harish Rawat of the Congress a deadline of March 28 to prove his majority in Assembly. Congress government in Uttarakhand led by Harish Rawat plunged into a crisis with nine party MLAs turning rebels and opposition BJP approaching the Governor staking claim to form the government. The Governor's directive to Rawat came even as BJP, claiming majority with support of nine rebel Congress MLAs in the 70-member Assembly, stepped up efforts to form its government, contending that the Rawat ministry has been reduced to a minority. According to Assembly Speaker Govind Singh Kunjwal the anti-defection Topic law is in place and whoever is found guilty of violating it will have to be acted against.

  • When the Floods Came
    5 When the Floods Came Water, rock, and mud descended on Kedarnath twice, first in the evening of June 16, 2013, and then in the morning around seven on June 17, 2013. Those hours are in fundamental ways beyond discursive reach. But we can try to gather fragments, as have dozens of video documentaries, hundreds of journalist accounts, and thousands of Facebook posts. In a fragmentary way, it is possible to say that Kedarnath remained, during and after the flooding, a place that resisted human control and a place marked by a relatively high level of shared experience across diverse social, economic, and cultural subjectivities. It remained a zone of transi- tion to the beyond-human, a vanishing point relative to human frameworks of understanding and control. It remained a place characterized by the enmeshing of the divine and the natural. The floods came as a surprise and a rupture, but also, given their Himalayan location, they were not a surprise and they were not a rupture. I embark on the description of this event with the concept of “border situation” in mind as it is discussed by anthropologist Michael Jackson in his work The Palm at the End of the Mind. Jackson (2009, xii), as part of a broader engagement with the question of the putative cultural universality of something called “religious experience,” found himself focusing on “critical situations in life where we come up against the limits of language, the limits of our strength, the limits of our knowledge, yet are sometimes thrown open to new ways of understanding our being-in-the-world, news ways of connecting with others.” He was drawn to the term situation and its use in compounds like limit situation (from Karl Jaspers) and frontier situation (from Theodor Adorno) because the concept of situation is an “existential” concept that engages experiences of being-in-the-world in a way 145 146 When the Floods Came that does not reduce those experiences to either “political economy” or “religious belief or doctrine” (Jackson 2009, xii).

  • River Dialogues 9.3 Submitted July 13 2011
    Ganga is ‘Disappearing’: Women, Development, and Contentious Practice on the Ganges River Georgina Drew A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Anthropology Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: Dr. Dorothy Holland (Chair), Dr. Carole Crumley, Dr. Arturo Escobar, Dr. David Gilmartin, Dr. Charles Price © 2011 Georgina Drew ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Georgina Drew Ganga is ‘Disappearing’: Women, Development, and Contentious Practice on the Ganges River (Under the direction of Dr. Dorothy Holland) This dissertation explores conflict over development and ecological change along the upper stretch of the Ganga River in the Garhwal Himalayas, India. I focus on the circulation of competing discourses about change on the sacred Hindu river, the emergence of actors and movements that address the Ganga’s management, and the transformation of actor subjectivities. I especially emphasize the meanings that people produce about a river that some fear could ‘disappear’ due to the projected impacts of hydroelectric development and upstream glacial melt. My framing of these issues employs social practice theory to situate the past and enduring struggles that inform the conflict. In using this theoretical lens and especially its dialogic approach, I present a variety of views and discourses to elucidate the cultural or figured worlds that inform the debates about the river’s management. Through the exploration of “river dialogues”, I demonstrate how the conflict is charged with varied understandings of the Ganga’s utility, the agency of its Hindu Goddess, and the continuity of the cultural-religious practices linked with its flow.
