    Medical History, 1992, 36: 290-305. ANTI-MALARIAL POLICY IN THE MADRAS PRESIDENCY: AN OVERVIEW OF THE EARLY DECADES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY by V. R. MURALEEDHARAN and D. VEERARAGHAVAN * The history of health care in colonial India was for long a neglected field of study. However, in recent years interest in the history of medicine and its role during the period of British rule has been growing, as is evident from the increasing number of studies published.' While some attempts have been made to draw the broad outlines of the development ofhealth policy at both an all-India level2 and at regional levels,3 the policies on specific diseases have received far less attention.4 This is particularly true of malaria. There is as yet no detailed history ofanti-malarial measures in colonial India.5 Our desire to fill this gap in the existing literature on the history of health care is the basic motive for this paper, which attempts to trace the various anti-malarial steps taken by the government of Madras during the early decades of the twentieth century. We begin with a brief background to the nature of health care policy in the Madras Presidency and a summary ofthe debate on the nature ofanti-malarial measures taken in the years following the discovery of the anopheles mosquito. We then focus our * Both Dr V. R. Muraleedharan and Dr D.

  • Catholic Shrines in Chennai, India: the Politics of Renewal and Apostolic Legacy

    Catholic Shrines in Chennai, India: the Politics of Renewal and Apostolic Legacy

    CATHOLIC SHRINES IN CHENNAI, INDIA: THE POLITICS OF RENEWAL AND APOSTOLIC LEGACY BY THOMAS CHARLES NAGY A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies Victoria University of Wellington (2014) Abstract This thesis investigates the phenomenon of Catholic renewal in India by focussing on various Roman Catholic churches and shrines located in Chennai, a large city in South India where activities concerning saintal revival and shrinal development have taken place in the recent past. The thesis tracks the changing local significance of St. Thomas the Apostle, who according to local legend, was martyred and buried in Chennai. In particular, it details the efforts of the Church hierarchy in Chennai to bring about a revival of devotion to St. Thomas. In doing this, it covers a wide range of issues pertinent to the study of contemporary Indian Christianity, such as Indian Catholic identity, Indian Christian indigeneity and Hindu nationalism, as well as the marketing of St. Thomas and Catholicism within South India. The thesis argues that the Roman Catholic renewal and ―revival‖ of St. Thomas in Chennai is largely a Church-driven hierarchal movement that was specifically initiated for the purpose of Catholic evangelization and missionization in India. Furthermore, it is clear that the local Church‘s strategy of shrinal development and marketing encompasses Catholic parishes and shrines throughout Chennai‘s metropolitan area, and thus, is not just limited to those sites associated with St. Thomas‘s Apostolic legacy. i Acknowledgements This thesis is dedicated to the memory of my father Richard M.

    Meet India's Fastest Ironman Triathlete Raghul Sankaranarayanan

    FITNESS Meet India’s fastest Ironman Triathlete Raghul Sankaranarayanan Reji Varghese JUNE 11, 2018 13:27 IST UPDATED: JUNE 12, 2018 17:36 IST An Ironman Triathlon is an extreme form of the Triathalon and consists of a 3.86-km swim, a 180-km bicycle ride and a 42.2-km marathon run, raced in that order and without a break. I It was a warm evening in Port Elizabeth, South Africa; the sun had just begun to sink over the horizon. Raghul Sankaranarayanan vaguely remembers the crowds lined up across the last kilometre cheering the weary contestants on. What’s clearly etched in his mind is the pain — the pain from having swum 3.8 kms, cycled 180 kms and run 42.2 kms without a break in the last 11 hours. With each thud of his shoes on the asphalt, he felt an electric pain shoot up from his ankles to his knees. There was a spasm on his right hamstring, which was close to locking up. He crossed the finish line and looked at his watch: it read 10 hours, 56 minutes and 59 seconds. Raghul was speechless. He had just broken the Indian record of 11 hours and 3 minutes jointly held by Kaustabh Radkar and Akshay Samel. He was now officially the fastest Indian Ironman. An Ironman Triathlon is an extreme form of the Triathalon and consists of a 3.86-km swim, a 180-km bicycle ride and a 42.2-km marathon run, raced in that order and without a break. It is widely considered one of the most gruelling one-day sporting events in the world, with a limited time of 17 hours to complete the race.
  • Ennore Port, 16 Km North of Chennai Port, Another Erosion Problem Was Emerged and Similar Issues Like Chennai Port Are on the Way

    Ennore Port, 16 Km North of Chennai Port, Another Erosion Problem Was Emerged and Similar Issues Like Chennai Port Are on the Way

    i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The coastline of Chennai with a hinterland of 20km offer a variety of environmental issues and problems, which need integrated management. These include the coastal erosion and accretion, pollution from human settlement and industries, loss of aesthetics in tourism beaches and declining fishery resources. The ICMAM Project Directorate undertook the task of analysing above problems and prepared integrated management solutions, which will help to solve these problems and also avoidance of occurrence of such problems in future. It is well known that the shoreline along Chennai coast is subjected to oscillations due to natural and man made activities. After construction of Chennai port, coast north of port is eroded and 350 hectares land is lost into sea. The river Cooum that carries domestic sewage is closed due to accretion of sand south port. State Government resorted to short term measures for protecting coastal stretch of length 6 km at Royapuram with sea wall and the erosion problem shifted to further north. Now with the construction of Ennore port, 16 km North of Chennai port, another erosion problem was emerged and similar issues like Chennai port are on the way. If, no intervention is planned, threat to ecologically sensitive Pulicat Lake is inevitable. North Ennore Coast is already experiencing increased wave action and the naturally formed protection barriers, the “Ennore Shoals”, may likely to be disturbed by construction of Port. Baseline data reveal that the Ennore creek on south of Ennore port is experiencing increased siltation. Since the available information on Ennore coast is not sufficient for working out suitable measures, a research project entitled “Shoreline management along Ennore” has been formulated to conduct detailed field and model investigations on various dynamical aspects (water level variations, currents & circulation, tides, waves, bathymetric variations, sediment transport, shoreline changes etc) of Ennore coast covering Ennore creek to Pulicat mouth.

It was the student election day! Nominated candidates from Grade XI had already delivered their campaign promises on the previous day. Students assembled at their respective spots as each of the four houses conducted its own independent voting session. The actual voting process was simulated as nails were inked, papers dropped into ballot boxes, and voices fell as teenage astrologers predicted the results. The wait was worth it as the winners were announced the following week.
