Nonie Tuxen December 2018 iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank all of the students who took part in the study, for their generosity, time and openness. Without their willingness to reveal their hopes, dreams and experiences this study would not have been possible. Further, I would like to thank all of the parents, agents, counsellors, industry representatives and Australian government staff who took time out of their busy schedules to provide invaluable insights that shaped this study. In Australia, I extend my heartfelt thanks to my supervisors, Dr Margaret Kiley (Australian National University), Dr Shanthi Robertson (Western Sydney University) and Dr Amanda Gilbertson (University of Melbourne). I have been incredibly fortunate to work with a supportive, dedicated and astute group of women who have been tirelessly enthusiastic for the past few years. This thesis has truly been a multilateral enterprise. I am especially grateful to my external supervisors, Shanthi and Amanda, who undertook the heavy-lifting of my supervision and have continuously encouraged (and challenged!) my intellectual curiosity. In Mumbai, I would like to thank the Tata Institute of Social Sciences and Professor Padma Velaskar for hosting me during fieldwork, which was generously funded by an Endeavour Postgraduate Scholarship from the Australian Government. I would also like to thank Professor Debjani Ganguly who oversaw this research project for 18 months before she relocated to the USA, and Associate Professor Ernest Koh at Monash University for his friendship and mentorship. At various times, I was also fortunate to be supported by means of desk space and access to resources at the Asia Research Institute at the National University of Singapore and the Australia India Institute at the University of Melbourne. This research is also supported by an Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarship. At ANU I would also like to extend my gratitude to Emeritus Fellow Dr Linda Hort for her friendship and tough love, as well as Diane Humphrey and Candida Spence at the ANU Library for their help with accessing resources and formatting my thesis. This project would not have been possible without the love and support of my family and friends, particularly my parents, Loris and Jeremy, and my brother, Vaughan. I am especially grateful for my partner Monaal’s unending patience and for his encouragement while we spent many months apart during the writing-up phase. I am also particularly indebted to Stephanie Jacobs and James Pollalis who provided me with accommodation and delicious food in Canberra, and to Amanda Michael and Diego Ayala who often put me up in Melbourne. I dedicate this thesis to my grandparents, Grammie and Grannan, who still ask what my thesis is about but are proud nonetheless. v ABSTRACT International education is an increasingly popular life choice for young, urban Indians. Academic scholarship has shown growing interest in where, how and why Indians study overseas. However, many of these studies overlook the role that class status plays in shaping how students from India imagine and experience international education and its outcomes as they transition into adulthood. Studies of India’s middle classes, on the other hand, have tended to omit the importance of transnational mobility in producing class status. This thesis therefore explores the complex relationships between how international education is imagined and experienced, and how class status is (re)produced in Mumbai, India. Using data gathered from 80 in-depth interviews in Mumbai in which participants discussed their perceptions of international education, its value and its outcomes, I argue that there are significant nuances in how the value of international education is perceived, embodied and made distinct within the granular class hierarchies that constitute the urban upper-middle class and elite. I focus on prospective and returned students situated at ‘home’, which provides a unique perspective given international student mobility literature’s tendency to focus on the experiences of existing students. Using Bourdieu’s (1984, 1986) theory of class reproduction as a starting point, I discuss how various forms of capital – especially cosmopolitan cultural capital (Igarashi & Saito, 2014) – are accumulated both prior to and during international education, and how capital informs experiences of return to India. Specifically, I argue that there are two distinct imaginaries and experiences of international education in the Mumbai context which correspond to the localised class identity of the individual seeking international education. On one hand, the South Bombay or ‘SoBo’ elite seek to maintain their existing privilege by engaging with international education in order to acquire ‘the stamp’ of having spent time overseas, which ‘finishes’ them as young adults and poises them as ‘ready’ to engage in adult life in the same elite context in India in which they were raised. On the other hand, ‘suburban strivers’ engage with international education with a desire to seek upward mobility but they do not seek to mimic the lifestyles or behaviours of the SoBo elite. Rather, suburban strivers pursue a transformative experience that promises to change the trajectories of their lives, especially in relation to career options but also in terms of their lived experiences. These divergent approaches to engaging with international education permeate the way that individuals imagine and experience international education, impacting their mobility trajectories, career aspirations and decisions about when and who to marry. Ultimately, this thesis highlights the importance of examining class in relation to international student mobilities, and transnational mobility in relation to the study of class in India, especially in relation to the urban upper-middle class and elite. vii PUBLICATIONS ARISING FROM THIS THESIS Tuxen, N., & Robertson, S.

Acknowledgments Notes Index About the Author Copyright INTRODUCTION In the months before starting this book, I was writing and talking about the concept that I called Per Capita Hope. In my short lifetime, it seemed as if the world’s largest democracy would alter beyond recognition and finally take that lumbering leap into modernity promised when its first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, spoke of its “tryst with destiny” in his midnight speech at independence in 1947. While economists and politicians were content to debate infinitely the rise of gross domestic product (GDP) that, since India’s economic liberalization began in 1991, has pulled the nation out of everlasting penury, it seemed to me that this narrow focus on GDP hid a more powerful phenomenon: the newfound freedom from anxiety and a constant sense of being held back, the paranoia of failure and the humiliation of class that millions of Indians have been freed from.

  • As Summer Begins NHRC Asks Govt to Ensure Potable Drinking Water
    ANI, Online, 30.3.2021 Page No. 0, Size:(0)cms X (0)cms. As summer begins NHRC asks govt to ensure potable drinking water across country https://www.aninews.in/news/national/general-news/as-summer-begins-nhrc-asks-govt- to-ensure-potable-drinking-water-across-country20210329141912 The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) asked the Central Ministry of Jal Shakti to constitute a committee to look into the supply of potable drinking water to all the citizens of India. RadhakantaTripathy, a Supreme Court advocate and social activist in his plea before the NHRC raised the issue of fluorosis, water-borne diseases caused due to excessive fluoride in drinking water, which is not only a medical problem but a socio-economic issue. "A person affected by it becomes weak and his earning capacity goes down. The issue of fluorosis is not confined to one part of India, but prevalent all over India," said Tripathy. The Commission in its recently passed order termed the issue as "gross, grave and gigantic". Looking into the significance of the issue involved, the Commission had directed the Secretary, Water Resources of Union, States and Union Territories, Secretary, Science and Technology, Government of India, Director General, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and Director General, Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), to submit their response on the subject as to what is the status of drinking water across the country. Upon perusal of the response received from all these authorities, the Commission has observed that the present complaint is in regard to the problem of excessive fluoride in drinking water, which is not only a medical problem but also a socio-economic issue as the person affected by it becomes weak and his earning capacity goes down, where the effected person is engaged in manual work and labour.
