I would like at the outset to extend my thanks to Shri Justice Jeevana Reddy, Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court. and his predecessors who originally extended this invitation to me, for giving me an opportunity to do so. Purity and nobility of character marked Sri Gopal Swarup Pathak's life. He maintained the highest standards of integrity in both his personal and his professional transactions. He was, in other words, a complete man who lived a life that was fully integrated in its inner and outer dimensions. As all those who came in contact with Sri Pathak would testify, integrity was his watchword and he sought to maintain the highest ethical standards in his individual, professional and public life. Sri G.S. Pathak's father was a humble employee of the North-Western Railway's accounts department. Gopal Swarupji, therefore, had very modest beginnings: -'Due to the financial circumstances of the family, he was urged by his father to set up a small business immediately after finishing High School. But young Gopal Swarup was disinclined to do so. He had rendered a very good account of himself and had achieved excellence at school.

Wehdat! Al-Quds Arabiya!”: Football, Nationalism and the Chants of Palestinian Resistance in Jordan Examining Committee: Chair: Mary-Ellen Kelm Associate Professor Paul Sedra Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Thomas Kuehn Supervisor Associate Professor Derryl MacLean Supervisor Associate Professor Adel Iskandar External Examiner Assistant Professor School of Communication Simon Fraser University Date Defended/Approved: November 27, 2015 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract After the Jordanian Civil War in 1970—which saw the Jordanian army defeat Palestinian guerrillas, the death of thousands of Palestinians living in Jordan and the exile of Palestinian political organizations and leaders from refugee camps—Palestinians in Jordan became politically and socially marginalized. Despite these marginalizations, Palestinians in Jordan always had access to sport. This thesis will examine how the football club, al-Wehdat, plays a role in creating and establishing identity and nationalism for Palestinians in Jordan. By using oral history, I move beyond the narrative of a homogenous Palestinian identity and demonstrate the complexities of Palestinian identities. Moreover, utilizing oral history in my thesis challenges the notion of football being cathartic, and demonstrates how al-Wehdat fans are able to: A) manoeuvre within the stadium, despite being under constant surveillance, B) to continue to use al-Wehdat as a political platform, predominantly through their chants, and C) to develop Palestinian identity and nationalism in Jordan.
