  • The State, Democracy and Social Movements
    The Dynamics of Conflict and Peace in Contemporary South Asia This book engages with the concept, true value, and function of democracy in South Asia against the background of real social conditions for the promotion of peaceful development in the region. In the book, the issue of peaceful social development is defined as the con- ditions under which the maintenance of social order and social development is achieved – not by violent compulsion but through the negotiation of intentions or interests among members of society. The book assesses the issue of peaceful social development and demonstrates that the maintenance of such conditions for long periods is a necessary requirement for the political, economic, and cultural development of a society and state. Chapters argue that, through the post-colo- nial historical trajectory of South Asia, it has become commonly understood that democracy is the better, if not the best, political system and value for that purpose. Additionally, the book claims that, while democratization and the deepening of democracy have been broadly discussed in the region, the peace that democracy is supposed to promote has been in serious danger, especially in the 21st century. A timely survey and re-evaluation of democracy and peaceful development in South Asia, this book will be of interest to academics in the field of South Asian Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies and Asian Politics and Security.

    ST.VINCENT DE PAUL PARISH, KHAR, MUMBAI. OCTOBER 2016 BRIDGING THE GAP IN SOCIETY Dear Parishioners, Our patron saint St. Vincent de Paul, has been a guiding light that through the generations has illuminated society and made a positive impact on numerous lives. In this issue, Fr. Vianney has written an excellent article on the life of St. Vincent de Paul. I would like to point out that while the world talks about our patron saint's dedication to the poor, what often seems to be overlooked is that St. Vincent served as a bridge between society's well off and its poor. He was able to get the rich also involved in service of the poor. St. Vincent was an achiever in his own right and he used this in getting influential people to contribute both time, effort and money in helping the poor. His call to actively support the poor in society is as relevant today as it was centuries ago. We need to spare some time, energy and money for the poor and the needy. We can show our commitment to his call by adopting one poor family in our neighbourhood irrespective of caste and creed. Keep a day every week or every month to help your adopted family. Find out what their needs are beyond money. Is there a child that is educationally weak? Is there a youth that needs a job? Or just listening to them would be powerful boost in helping them deal with their situation. I am sure that there are many more ways in which we can make a positive difference to their lives.

  • Christian History of East Indians of Guyana
    Shameerudeen: Christian History of East Indians of Guyana CLIFMOND SHAMEERUDEEN Christian History of East Indians of Guyana Historical Footprints Guyana is the only English-speaking country of South America and is part of the English-speaking Caribbean, mainly because of language, culture, and religious background. The formation of this multiethnic community is a result of many historical events. These events are viewed differently, depending on one’s ideology and school of thought. However, it is unde- niably true that the mass migration orchestrated by the British colonizers separated people groups from their places of origin over a span of hun- dreds of years and many generations. The British colonizers are responsible for transporting and settling la- borers from India to the West Indies. These individuals, known as East Indians, were recruited mainly for indentureship, to replace the freed African slaves on the sugar plantations. The indenture system began in 1838 in Guyana and ended in 1917 in the southern Caribbean region. It is estimated that 240,000 East Indians came to Guyana and 144,000 to Trinidad during the indentureship period (Barrow 1996:342). In Trinidad, sixty-eight percent of the East Indians brought during this period were males, while only thirty-eight percent were females (Vertovec 1992:101). A similar gender disparity was found in Guyana, where males were also in the majority (Singh 1993: 223).

  • Goans on the Move
    Goans on the Move Paul Melo e Castro University of Glasgow Cielo G. Festino Paulista University Hélder Garmes University of São Paulo Robert Newman Independent Scholar Goa has long been a place of transit. Since time immemorial people from across the Indian subcontinent have passed in and out of the territory. Europeans, including the Portuguese who gave Goa the epithet, ‘Rome of the East’, have come, gone and returned again, as have visitors from further afield, along the old Bahia-Lisbon-Goa route of the caravels or down the Hippie trail of the 1970s. Goans themselves have migrated over the ages, whether in flight, forced by economic circumstances, or for personal advancement. Whatever the particular push-and-pull factors in each case might be, these migrations often had common destinations, leading in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries to the formation of diaspora communities in the main cities of India, principally Mumbai, as well as in the former English and Portuguese colonies of East Africa. After the independence of these colonies in the 1960s and 1970s, many Goan Africans would find themselves again on the move, to Lisbon or Brazil, or to Anglophone countries in the Americas, Europe, Oceania and beyond. The various movements of these Goan subjects, the preservation or deliquescence of ties to home, identity and language, in short, the ever-changing fate of those in diaspora, have given rise to a large body of poems, novels, short stories and personal narratives that represent these experiences as a process of what Leela Gandhi terms “mutual transformation” (129), one affecting destination and origin, host community and migrant, family and society.

  • Communism and Religion in North India, 1920–47
    "To the Masses." Communism and Religion in North India, 1920–47 Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades doctor philosophiae (Dr. phil.) eingereicht an der Kultur-, Sozial- und Bildungswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin von Patrick Hesse Präsident der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Prof. Dr. Jan-Hendrik Olbertz Dekanin der Kultur-, Sozial- und Bildungswissenschaftlichen Fakultät Prof. Dr. Julia von Blumenthal Gutachter: 1. Michael Mann 2. Dietrich Reetz Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 20. Juli 2015 Abstract Among the eldest of its kind in Asia, the Communist Party of India (CPI) pioneered the spread of Marxist politics beyond the European arena. Influenced by both Soviet revolutionary practice and radical nationalism in British India, it operated under conditions not provided for in Marxist theory—foremost the prominence of religion and community in social and political life. The thesis analyzes, first, the theoretical and organizational ‘overhead’ of the CPI in terms of the position of religion in a party communist hierarchy of emancipation. It will therefore question the works of Marx, Engels, and Lenin on the one hand, and Comintern doctrines on the other. Secondly, it scrutinizes the approaches and strategies of the CPI and individual members, often biographically biased, to come to grips with the subcontinental environment under the primacy of mass politics. Thirdly, I discuss communist vistas on revolution on concrete instances including (but not limited to) the Gandhian non-cooperation movement, the Moplah rebellion, the subcontinental proletariat, the problem of communalism, and assertion of minority identities. I argue that the CPI established a pattern of vacillation between qualified rejection and conditional appropriation of religion that loosely constituted two diverging revolutionary paradigms characterizing communist practice from the Soviet outset: Western and Eastern.

S k w ....l:\ShO.- . )y^~. ^ L , J l . )Vy. 0 ‘.At U . i L f t X Abstract This thesis examines the hypothesis that a pioneering group of Luso Indian medical doctors played a role in legitimating western medicine among indigenous elites in nineteenth century Bombay. The term Luso Indian is used here to refer specifically to indigenous Portuguese speaking Indians primarily from the populations known today as being East Indian and Goan. Chapter 1 of the thesis discusses definitions of ‘community’ and ‘identity’ in relationship to ‘caste,’ ‘race’ and ‘religion.’ The notion that our community formed a single and segregated entity is explored, using both official categories derived from the Census reports and ethnographical accounts and unofficial categories examined through an analysis of the popular Catholic press. Chapter 2 examines the role of Grant Medical College in providing a springboard for entry into the medical services of colonial Bombay. While the majority Hindu and Muslim population were constrained from embarking on a career in medicine by cultural and religious taboos, a number of Luso Indians availed themselves of opportunities offered at the college. The chapter also explores the medical groups and associations which attempted to create a professional medical community. The third chapter provides a study of the intellectual milieu in Bombay during the nineteenth century and a case study often prominent Luso Indians involved in the medical profession.

The teachers must speak latin, and report directly to the Pope. • 1215, Rome : The IV Lateran Council forbids priests to shed blood. It leads to the distinction between the roles of physician and surgeon. • 1220, in France : foundation of the brotherhood of Saint-Côme, the mother idea of which is "Work and prayer" • Until 1452 in France doctors are bound to celibacy, except in Montpellier, where - since 1309 - teachers and students are authorized by Pope Clement V to marry. • Confraternities of Catholic physicians and/or surgeons are created in France, Spain... Most of them disappear during the wave of de-Christianization of the XVIII and XIX centuries, despite some attempts at restoration (e.g : France 1801 and 1840).
