  • Songs from the Other Side: Listening to Pakistani Voices in India
    SONGS FROM THE OTHER SIDE: LISTENING TO PAKISTANI VOICES IN INDIA John Shields Caldwell A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music (Musicology). Chapel Hill 2021 Approved by: Michael Figueroa Jayson Beaster-Jones David Garcia Mark Katz Pavitra Sundar © 2021 John Shields Caldwell ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT John Shields Caldwell: Songs from the Other Side: Listening to Pakistani Voices in India (Under the direction of Michael Figueroa) In this dissertation I investigate how Indian listeners have listened to Pakistani songs and singing voices in the period between the 1970s and the present. Since Indian film music dominates the South Asian cultural landscape, I argue that the movement of Pakistani songs into India is both a form of resistance and a mode of cultural diplomacy. Although the two nations share a common history and an official language, cultural flows between India and Pakistan have been impeded by decades of political enmity and restrictions on trade and travel, such that Pakistani music has generally not been able to find a foothold in the Indian songscape. I chart the few historical moments of exception when Pakistani songs and voices have found particular vectors of transmission by which they have reached Indian listeners. These moments include: the vinyl invasion of the 1970s, when the Indian market for recorded ghazal was dominated by Pakistani artists; two separate periods in the 1980s and 2000s when Pakistani female and male vocalists respectively sang playback in Indian films; the first decade of the new millennium when international Sufi music festivals brought Pakistani singers to India; and the 2010s, when Pakistani artists participated extensively in television music competition shows.

  • Renunciation and Non-Renunciation in Indian Films 159 Family Early in His Life, He Remains Unsatisfied with His Ascetic Sojourns and His Colleagues
    Religion Compass 4/3 (2010): 157–165, 10.1111/j.1749-8171.2009.00198.x RenunciationandNon-RenunciationinIndianFilms Pankaj Jain* North Carolina State University Abstract Renunciation is one of the most widely studied subjects among Indic traditions. The image of a half-naked ascetic with a stick in one hand and a begging bowl in other has captured the attention of scholars more often than the mundane householder. Whereas the ascetic captured the imagina- tion with his (and sometimes her) individualistic spirit rebelling against the maligned caste hierar- chy, the householder has been seen as a poor creature living a routine life according to the rules dictated by the caste (varna) and the stage in life (ashrama). In this article, I review several films to analyze the portrayal of ascetics and householders, but cannot claim that the review is encyclope- dic because there are so many films with variations on this theme. All of the films introduced here were made by Indian filmmakers except for two Hollywood films,1 The Householder (1963) and Siddhartha (1972), that were filmed in India with an Indian cast and story. Non-Renunciation in The Householder (1963) and in Yehi Hai Zindagi (1977) T. N. Madan (1987) lists a number of medieval and contemporary movements with mil- lions of followers in India. All of them have emphasized the virtues of disciplined domes- ticity as against renunciation, for instance, Basava (1125–1270?), the founder of Lingayat sect in the South, Nanak (1469–1538), the first Sikh gurus in the North, Vallabha (1479– 1531), the promulgator of the Pushti Marga in the West, and Chaitanya (1485–1534), founder of a Vaishnava sect in the East.

The Renault Twizy Ris powered entirely by electricity. The Renault Twizy has an urban cycle range of approximately 85km. The batteries are charged via an extendible cable located behind the Renault diamond at the front of the car. A full charge takes around 3 hours using the nor- mal household 220-240v domestic supply (3-pin plug). The lithium-ion batteries which power the electric motor are mounted beneath the seats to lower the center of gravity. Peyman Karager, Renault Middle East Director said of the vehicle: “With the Renault Twizy, Renault plays the difference by being the only manufacturer in the Middle East to mar- ket a 100 percent electric vehicle.
