Facebook news feeds and Twitter timelines are constantly flooded with photos, videos and articles concerning both local and global issues. UNC Monsoon aims to ride this wave and produce marketable online and print content that brings South Asian voices to the forefront. Prior to Monsoon, UNC Sangam sponsored Diaspora, a campus magazine devoted to South Asian affairs. However, we felt that Diaspora was in need of a rebranding in its mission and name. Monsoon’s mission is to creatively foster dialogue about all eight South Asian countries: Ban- gladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, Maldives, Afghanistan, and Bhutan. It seeks to fight both the misrepresentation and underrepresentation of South Asia in mainstream media by producing original content that informs, entertains, and also fosters discussion. The problem UNC Monsoon addresses is the symbolic annihilation of South Asians by the mainstream media.

  • Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India
    Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India Gyanendra Pandey CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Remembering Partition Violence, Nationalism and History in India Through an investigation of the violence that marked the partition of British India in 1947, this book analyses questions of history and mem- ory, the nationalisation of populations and their pasts, and the ways in which violent events are remembered (or forgotten) in order to en- sure the unity of the collective subject – community or nation. Stressing the continuous entanglement of ‘event’ and ‘interpretation’, the author emphasises both the enormity of the violence of 1947 and its shifting meanings and contours. The book provides a sustained critique of the procedures of history-writing and nationalist myth-making on the ques- tion of violence, and examines how local forms of sociality are consti- tuted and reconstituted by the experience and representation of violent events. It concludes with a comment on the different kinds of political community that may still be imagined even in the wake of Partition and events like it. GYANENDRA PANDEY is Professor of Anthropology and History at Johns Hopkins University. He was a founder member of the Subaltern Studies group and is the author of many publications including The Con- struction of Communalism in Colonial North India (1990) and, as editor, Hindus and Others: the Question of Identity in India Today (1993).

MALIK* The Core and the Periphery: A Contribution to the Debate on the Eighteenth Century** There is a general unanimity among modern historians on seeing the dissolution of Mughal empire as a notable phenomenon cf the eighteenth century. The discord of views relates to the classification and explanation of historical processes behind it, and also to the interpretation and articulation of its impact on political and socio- economic conditions of the country. Most historians sought to explain the imperial crisis from the angle of medieval society in general, relating it to the character and quality of people, and the roles of the diverse classes.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 ABSTRACT Certain recent studies of South Asian entrepreneurial acti­ vity have suggested that customary social and cultural const­ raints have prevented positive response to economic develop­ ment programmes. Constraints including the conservative mentality of the traditional merchant castes, over-attention to custom, ritual and status and the prevalence of the joint family in management structures have been regarded as the main inhibitors of rational economic behaviour, leading to the conclusion that externally-directed development pro­ grammes cannot be successful without changes in ideology and behaviour. A focus upon the indigenous concepts of the traditional merchant castes of a market town in Rajasthan and their role in organising business behaviour, suggests that the social and cultural factors inhibiting positivejto a presen­ ted economic opportunity, stimulated in part by external, public sector agencies, are conversely responsible for the dynamism of private enterprise which attracted the attention of the concerned authorities.

  • Azad Kashmir
    Azad Kashmir The home of British Kashmiris Waving flags of their countries of origin by some members of diaspora (overseas) communities in public space is one of the most common and visible expressions of their ‘other’ or ‘homeland’ identity or identities. In Britain, the South Asian diaspora communities are usually perceived as Indian, Pakistani, (since 1971) Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans. However, there is another flag that is sometimes sighted on such public gatherings as Eid festivals, Pakistani/Indian Cricket Matches or political protests across Britain. 1 This is the official flag of the government of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. 'Azad Kashmir' is a part of the divided state of Jammu Kashmir. Its future is yet to be determined along with rest of the state. As explained below in detail, Azad Kashmir is administered by Pakistan but it is not part of Pakistan like Punjab, Sindh, Pakhtoon Khuwa and Baluchistan. However, as a result of the invasion of India and Pakistan to capture Kashmir in October 1947 and the subsequent involvement of United Nations, Pakistan is responsible for the development and service provision including passports for the people of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan, another part of Kashmir that is not part of, but is controlled by, Pakistan. Under the same UN resolutions India is responsible for the Indian controlled part of Kashmir. In all parts of the divided Kashmir there are political movements of different intensity striving for greater rights and autonomy, self-rule and/or independence. The focus of this chapter, however, is primarily on Azad Kashmir, the home of nearly a million strong British Kashmiri community.

  • HISTORY ANCIENT PERIOD in the Epic Period, the Region Covered By
    HISTORY ANCIENT PERIOD In the epic period, the region covered by the present district of Gorakhpur, known as Karapatha, which formed part of the kingdom of Kosala, an important centre of Aryan culture and civilization. The renowned ascetic Gorakh Nath gave name and fame to this district by practicing austerities on the spot where the famous temple named after him stands. It appears that the earliest known monarch ruling over this region with his capital at Ayodhya, was Iksvaku, who founded the solar dynasty of Ksatriyas. It produced a number of illustrious kings till the accession of Ram, who was the greatest ruler of this dynasty. Ram had divided the kingdom, during his lifetime, into small principalities. He coronated his eldest son Kusa as the king of Kusavati present Kushinagar which lay in the Gorakhpur district till 1946. After Ram's renunciation of the world Kusa left Kusawati (Kushinagar) and repaired to Ayodhya. His cousin, Chandraketu, son of Lakshmana, even the epithet of malla (valiant) in the Ramayan, thereupon took possession of this region. The Mahabharata mentions that at the Rajasuya (imperial) sacrifice performed by Yudhisthira, a behest to conquer the east was given to Bhimasena who in turn subjugated the principality of Gopalak (identified with Gopalpur of Bansgaon tahsil). Close to Gopalpur at Bhimtola, Bhimasena is said to have reposed after his victory. The discovery of a series of enormous mounds at Gopalpur and around it suggests that the places has been old sites of extensive cities. A few development in the political history of the district during the post- Mahabharata period is the functioning of a number of republics under the sovereignty of the kingdom of Kosala.

  • Perempuan Nan Bercinta
    PEREMPUAN NAN BERCINTA Dedikasi Untuk Zahra, perempuan yang aku cintai sepenuh hatiku 1 '' or, cari perempuan mulia yang menentang sehingga D mati, cari perempuan yang menentang meskipun sudah mati." Barangkali itu suara bonda yang clidengar Idora. Dia tidak pasti apakah benar itu suara bondanya, atau bisik halus nenda. Dia tidak sepenuhnya mengerti. Apakah pagi itu tatkala clia menatap langit cli Jalan Ipoh, pada jendela yang memapar sebahagian puncak Genting, ada separuh pula panorama Setapak clan bangunan tinggi yang bersaing cli celah KLCC; apakah bondanya yang benar-benar haclir menyapa? Apakah bonda wujud cli wajah langit? Atau itu hanya fantasi pagi hujung minggu? Bonda sudah tiada, nenda juga sudah lama tiada. Tetapi clia seakan-akan berada antara dunia khayal clan alam nyata. Dia merasai, kewujudan ibunya. Roh ibu meliputi merata­ rata. Bonda terlalu banyak menderita. Terlalu banyak menahan sengsara. Masih terkerlip cli ruang mata, wajah bengis ayah. "Tengku seperti apa engkau ini, Melor?" herclik ayah, clan tempik lelaki tersebut bergema dalam telinga. PEREMPUAN NAN BERCINTA Wajah ayahnya yang bermata bulat besar dengan kening lebat, dan bau mulut nan mengasak hidung; terlakar kasar di hadapan ma ta. Idora memejamkan mata. Bayangan itu pergi. Benar, tidak ada suara bonda lagi. Hanya dia mengkhayalkan seorang diri. Pagi Ahad begini mungkin dia terlalu terbawa-bawa dengan resah sendiri. "Dor, cari perempuan mulia yang menentang sehingga mati, cari perempuan yang menentang meskipun sudah mati." suara itu masuk menyelinap lagi. Idora memejamkan mata, bermalas-malas di sofa. Matanya terkunci kepada catan "Woman" yang rapi tergantung pada dinding utama rumah. Catan, wanita yang tidak berpakaian itu dirasai sarat bentuk dan warna.

Of Englishmen – natives of a country renowned for its justice and humanity.

The purpose of this paper is to explain who the “Fanatics” were, their tribal connection, and their links to both Islamic extremism and Deobandism.
