  • The Intersection of Racial and Sexual Marginalisation and Repression in Rex Vs Singh (2008) and Seeking Single White Male (2010) by Yilong (Louie) Liu
    Confronting Ambiguity: The Intersection of Racial and Sexual Marginalisation and Repression in Rex vs Singh (2008) and Seeking Single White Male (2010) By Yilong (Louie) Liu A major research paper presented to OCAD University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Contemporary Art, Design, and New Media Art Histories Toronto, Ontario, Canada, April 2018 ©Yilong Liu, 2018 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this major research paper.

I further authorise OCAD University to reproduce this major research paper by photocopying or by other means, in total or in part, at the request of other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. Signature___________ ii Abstract This MRP examines how Canadian filmmakers and artists explore racial and sexual marginalisation in Canada. Two films in particular exemplify different forms of racism towards South Asian immigrants. The first, Rex vs Singh (2008), an experimental documentary produced by John Greyson, Richard Fung, and Ali Kazimi, showcases the ambiguous application of immigration policies to repress South Asian immigration. Through different reconstructed montages, the film confronts these ambiguities in relation to the court case. The second, Seeking Single White Male (2010), a performance-video work by Toronto-based artist Vivek Shraya—South Asian descent, demonstrates not only the dominant racial norms and white normativity in queer communities in Toronto, but also the ambivalence in performing racial identification.

  • Nationalism in India Lesson
    DC-1 SEM-2 Paper: Nationalism in India Lesson: Beginning of constitutionalism in India Lesson Developer: Anushka Singh Research scholar, Political Science, University of Delhi 1 Institute of Lifelog learning, University of Delhi Content: Introducing the chapter What is the idea of constitutionalism A brief history of the idea in the West and its introduction in the colony The early nationalists and Indian Councils Act of 1861 and 1892 More promises and fewer deliveries: Government of India Acts, 1909 and 1919 Post 1919 developments and India’s first attempt at constitution writing Government of India Act 1935 and the building blocks to a future constitution The road leading to the transfer of power The theory of constitutionalism at work Conclusion 2 Institute of Lifelog learning, University of Delhi Introduction: The idea of constitutionalism is part of the basic idea of liberalism based on the notion of individual’s right to liberty. Along with other liberal notions,constitutionalism also travelled to India through British colonialism. However, on the one hand, the ideology of liberalism guaranteed the liberal rightsbut one the other hand it denied the same basic right to the colony. The justification to why an advanced liberal nation like England must colonize the ‘not yet’ liberal nation like India was also found within the ideology of liberalism itself. The rationale was that British colonialism in India was like a ‘civilization mission’ to train the colony how to tread the path of liberty.1 However, soon the English educated Indian intellectual class realised the gap between the claim that British Rule made and the oppressive and exploitative reality of colonialism.Consequently,there started the movement towards autonomy and self-governance by Indians.

  • The Ghadar Movement: Why Socialists Should Learn About It
    Socialist Studies / Études socialistes 13 (2) Fall 2018 Copyright © 2018 The Author(s) Article THE GHADAR MOVEMENT: WHY SOCIALISTS SHOULD LEARN ABOUT IT RADHA D’SOUZA University of Westminster KASIM ALI TIRMIZEY York University Exile did not suit me, I took it for my homeland When the noose of my net tightened, I called it my nest. Mirza Asadullah Khan “Ghalib” [b. December 1797, Agra, India, d. February 1869, Delhi, India]1 I In May 2016 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau formally apologized on behalf of the Government of Canada for the 1914 Komagata Maru incident, a singular event in the anti-colonial struggle against the British Empire launched by the newly formed Ghadar Party in North America. The apology came even as the anti-migrant vitriol in the wider society amplified. In late 2013 and again in early 2014, a memorial for the Ghadar martyrs in Harbour Green Park in Vancouver was vandalised twice within months. Notwithstanding the antagonism against immigrants in the public domain, Trudeau’s apology had settled Canada’s accounts with history and able to “move on.” The Trudeau government appointed Harjit Sajjan, a retired Lieutenant Colonel and war veteran in the Canadian Army as the defence minister, the first South Asian to hold the position. In 2011, Harjit Singh was interestingly made the commanding officer of one of the Canadian Army regiments that was historically involved in preventing passengers aboard the Komagata Maru from disembarking. Harjit Sajjan was deployed in Afghanistan where he used his familiarity with language, culture and traditions of the region in favour of imperialist agendas in the region, the very Afghanistan where the Ghadarites from his home state were instrumental in establishing the first government-in-exile of free India a hundred years ago.

  • The Komagata Maru Incident and the Hope Slide As Historiographie Metadrama
    INVESTIGATING BRITISH COLUMBIA'S PAST: The Komagata Maru Incident and The Hope Slide as Historiographie Metadrama GEORGE BELLIVEAU N HISTORICAL DRAMA Herbert Lindenberger admits "that by a strict definition one cannot categorize historical dramas as a genre I at all, though one can speak of specific forms of historical plays which prevailed at certain moments in history" (1975, ix). In an important essay on Canadian historical drama, Richard Knowles notes that since the early 1970s, Canadian playwrights have been making use of a specific form of historical play- historiographie metadrama. He adapts this term from Linda Hutcheon's idea of historiographie metafiction, which she discusses in The Canadian Postmodern, and suggests that this genre of drama incorporates "self-reflexive, metadramatic forms to highlight the instability both of history and dramatic texts" (Knowles 1987, 228). Knowles mentions that Canadian playwrights and collectives have been making use of historiographie metadrama for years - Rick Salutin and Theatre Passe Muraille's i8jy: The Farmers' Revolt (1973), Sharon Pollock's Walsh (1973), James Reaney's Sticks and Stones (1973), among others - yet, despite the "ripe and rewarding object of critical inquiry" (241) these plays offer, "Canadian drama and theatre critics ... have been slow to respond to deconstructionist Canadian plays on historical subjects" (229). This essay, which examines Sharon Pollock's The Komagata Maru Incident (1976) and Joan MacLeod's The Hope Slide (1992), takes up Knowles's invitation to study Canadian plays on historical subjects as historiographie metadramas. The Komagata Maru Incident and The Hope Slide reexamine specific moments in British Columbia's history by using metadramatic devices, and my investigation focuses on uncovering how, and, more importantly, why Pollock and MacLeod examine British Columbia's past using this particular dramatic form.

  • Shaheed Diwas
    Shaheed Diwas drishtiias.com/printpdf/shaheed-diwas Why in News Prime Minister of India paid tributes to Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Rajguru on Shaheed Diwas (23rd March). The Day is also known as Martyrs’ Day or Sarvodaya Day. This Day should not be confused with the Martyrs’ Day observed on 30th January, the day Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated. Key Points About: Every year on 23rd March, Shaheed Diwas is observed. It was on this day that Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were executed by the British government in 1931. They were hanged to death for assassinating John Saunders, a British police officer in 1928. They had mistook him for British police superintendent James Scott. It was Scott who had ordered lathi charge, which eventually led to the death of Lala Lajpat Rai. While Singh, who had publicly announced avenging Rai’s death, went into hiding for many months after this shootout, he resurfaced along with an associate Batukeshwar Dutt, and the two, in April 1929, set off two explosive devices inside the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi. Allowed themselves to be arrested, while shouting the famous slogan: “Inquilab Zindabad“, or “Long live the revolution”. Their lives inspired countless youth and in their death, they set an example. They carved out their own path for independence, where individual heroism and their aggressive need to do something for the nation stood out, departing from the path followed by the Congress leaders then. 1/3 Bhagat Singh: Born as Bhaganwala on the 26th September, 1907, Bhagat Singh grew up in a petty-bourgeois family of Sandhu Jats settled in the Jullundur Doab district of the Punjab.

  • Separating the Wheat from the Chaff Meerut and the Creation of “Official” Communism in India
    Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East Separating the Wheat from the Chaff Meerut and the Creation of “Official” Communism in India Ali Raza ew events have been as significant for the leftist movement in colonial India as the Meerut Conspir- acy Case. At the time, the case captured the imagination of virtually all political sections in British India as well as left- leaning organizations around the globe. It also defined the way in which the FLeft viewed itself and conducted its politics. Since then, the case has continued to attract the attention of historians working on the Indian Left. Indeed, it is difficult to come across any work on the Left that does not accord a prominent place to Meerut. Despite this, the case has been viewed mostly in terms that tend to diminish its larger significance. For one, within the rather substantial body of literature devoted to the Indian Left, there have been very few works that examine the case with any degree of depth. Most of those have been authored by the Left itself or by political activists who were defendants in the case. Whether authored by the Left or by academ- ics, the literature generally contends that the Raj failed in its objective to administer a fatal blow to “com- munism” in India. Instead, it’s commonly thought that the trial actually provided a fillip to communist politics in India.1 Not only did the courtroom provide an unprecedented opportunity to the accused to openly articulate their political beliefs, but it also generated public sympathy for communism.

Nagpur Session (1920) of the Indian National Congress December 1920 At the Nagpur session of the Indian National Congress • The programme of non-cooperation was endorsed. • An important change was made in the Congress creed: now, instead of having the attainment of self- government through constitutional means as its goal, the Congress decided to have the attainment of Swaraj through peaceful and legitimate means, thus committing itself to an extraconstitutional mass struggle. • Some important organizational changes were made: ✓ a Congress Working Committee (CWC) of 15 members was set up to lead the Congress from now onwards; ✓ Provincial Congress Committees on linguistic basis were organized; ✓ Ward Committees was organized; and entry fee was reduced to four annas. • Gandhiji declared that if the non-cooperation programme was implemented completely, swaraj would be ushered in within a year.
