An investigation of the existing heritage materialities is intersected with an ethnographic study of life stories from the Vanza community, once dedicated to weaving. Following other local social groups, the Vanza started migrating to Mozambique at the turn of the twentieth century. The ethnographic findings suggest that crossing different layers of heritages and remains that these circulations left in Diu with life narratives draws us to alternative cartographies of the Indian Ocean world and to a constellation of experiences and sensory worlds that constitute this region.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Textile Society of America Symposium Proceedings by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Decoding the Divine: Kathi Embroideries of Saurashtra Professor Victoria Z. Rivers This paper focuses on nineteenth and early twentieth century textiles produced by the Kathi people of Saurashtra in northwest India, and motifs similar to the Kathi's repertoire. The purpose is to stimulate new thinking about archaic embroidered images and how they relate to the larger world of ancient solar/astral worship and the regenerative principles of nature. To understand this complex construct, let's start with the Kathi background, a brief history of the region, an analysis of some ancient motifs, and geographical heritage. Visually, Kathi textiles contrast bright against dark. The silky untwisted floss called heer, also adds luster through elongated darning stitches called adiya-fatiya, some chain stitch and bavaliya or thorn stitch, long herringbone stitches, and some surface satin stitches. (l) Touches of yellow, white and green, along with small mirror rounds accent the predominantly red stitches worked into deep indigo cotton grounds.

  • FACTORS AFFECTING PROFICIENCY AMONG GUJARATI HERITAGE LANGUAGE LEARNERS on THREE CONTINENTS a Dissertation Submitted to the Facu
    FACTORS AFFECTING PROFICIENCY AMONG GUJARATI HERITAGE LANGUAGE LEARNERS ON THREE CONTINENTS A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics By Sheena Shah, M.S. Washington, DC May 14, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Sheena Shah All Rights Reserved ii FACTORS AFFECTING PROFICIENCY AMONG GUJARATI HERITAGE LANGUAGE LEARNERS ON THREE CONTINENTS Sheena Shah, M.S. Thesis Advisors: Alison Mackey, Ph.D. Natalie Schilling, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the causes behind the differences in proficiency in the North Indian language Gujarati among heritage learners of Gujarati in three diaspora locations. In particular, I focus on whether there is a relationship between heritage language ability and ethnic and cultural identity. Previous studies have reported divergent findings. Some have found a positive relationship (e.g., Cho, 2000; Kang & Kim, 2011; Phinney, Romero, Nava, & Huang, 2001; Soto, 2002), whereas others found no correlation (e.g., C. L. Brown, 2009; Jo, 2001; Smolicz, 1992), or identified only a partial relationship (e.g., Mah, 2005). Only a few studies have addressed this question by studying one community in different transnational locations (see, for example, Canagarajah, 2008, 2012a, 2012b). The current study addresses this matter by examining data from members of the same ethnic group in similar educational settings in three multi-ethnic and multilingual cities. The results of this study are based on a survey consisting of questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and proficiency tests with 135 participants. Participants are Gujarati heritage language learners from the U.K., Singapore, and South Africa, who are either current students or recent graduates of a Gujarati School.

  • History of Bhavnagar Division
    HISTORY OF BHAVNAGAR DIVISION Bhavnagar Division occupies an important position in the history of the Indian Railways. Bhavnagar was the third princely State in the country after Baroda and Hyderabad to begin construction of Railway line with its own funds. In Saurashtra, Bhavnagar was the first and Gondal the second state to build a Railway network. Railways in this region began in December 1880 with inauguration of the line from Bhavnagar Terminus to Wadhwan City. Sir James Fergusson, Governor of Bombay inaugurated the line in the presence of Sir Takhtasinhji, the ruler of Bhavnagar. The first train was run from Bhavnagar to Limbdi carrying the Governor’s entourage and guests. I t returned the same evening well in time for a State Bouquet in the King’s palace at Neelambaug. Soon after this the line from Dhola to Dhoraji was also completed with Bhavnagar and Gondal states sharing the cost of the same. Construction of Railway line from Bhavnagar to Wadhwan, which was initially opposed by the British, was taken up primarily as a relief measure due to extreme famine in the year 1877. Railway lines in other States were built to connect their important cities. These States were Junagadh, Porbandar, Morbi and Jamnagar. Independence saw integration of the princely states in the Indian Union. Bhavnagar was the first princely state in the entire country to accede to India. After integration, all these State Railways became the property of the then State Government of Saurashtra operating as “Saurashtra Railways”. They were later taken over by the Government of India and merged with Western Railway at the time of regrouping of Railways in early 1952.
