Conserving the Intangible This paper addresses the task of conserving the intangible – in this case, the identity of a community. The setting is within national history and the national heritage; the task itself always as affirmation of Kenya’s pluralistic heritage. It records the steps taken by the Asian African community in Kenya in this regard. The experience may provide a template for other individual communities. The Asian Africans are originally from Asia’s Sub-continent (now India and Pakistan), settled in East Africa for over two hundred years. “Travelling individuals and cosmopolitan encounters”1 are part of what brought about the Asian African presence. References in texts, speech, records or debates refer to them variously as coolies, indentured labourers, Asiatics, Indians, Asians or South Asians, among other labels. But now, with the passing of these centuries, individuals and homes have become filled with a new social identity, simultaneously Asian and African – Asian African in fact. -

Global India Dialogue Series
Global India Dialogue Series “INDIA AND INDIAN DIASPORA IN EAST AFRICA: PAST EXPERIENCES AND FUTURE CHALLENGES” Lecture discussion by: Dr. Gijsbert Oonk Erasmus University, Netherlands Organised by: Organisation for Diaspora Initiatives (ODI) 5-Dakshinapuram, Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi- 110067 (www.odi.in) Supported by: 1 | Global India Dialogue Series EDITOR’S MESSAGE In global India, Diaspora is a major visible Indian entity. When India is reorganizing its global engagement as an emergent power, its dialogue with Indian Diaspora is its major foreign policy strategy. However, since its Diaspora is diverse- old (which went as indentured workers and traders), new (as in the west), high skilled (as in Europe and North America) and low skilled (as in the Persian Gulf), the potential role of its Diaspora as a partner in engagement of India is diverse. Indian Diaspora in East Africa is largely a business community and is an old Diaspora in the region. This Diaspora is African in its economic and political identity, through it still has cultural Indianness left. They are integrated African citizen, still they are like ‘heritage resources’ for the host and home countries. They are a ‘cultural capital’ in bilateral relations of India with East African countries. Though the experiences of Indian Diaspora and Indian policy in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania had been diverse, it is important to understand and asses their potential as a ‘heritage resource’ in bilateral relations of India and East African countries. The Diaspora is a non-governmental resource and organizes itself as a civil society. This programme intends to engage Indian think tanks and civil society to make them aware of these emerging engagements and understand its impact on India and the host societies. -

Women Novelists in Indian English Literature
WOMEN NOVELISTS IN INDIAN ENGLISH LITERATURE DR D. RAJANI DEIVASAHAYAM S. HIMA BINDU Associate Professor in English Assistant Professor in English Ch. S. D. St. Theresa’s Autonomous College Ch. S. D. St. Theresa’s Autonomous for Women College for Women Eluru, W.G. DT. (AP) INDIA Eluru, W.G. DT., (AP) INDIA Woman has been the focal point of the writers of all ages. On one hand, he glorifies and deifies woman, and on the other hand, he crushes her with an iron hand by presenting her in the image of Sita, the epitome of suffering. In the wake of the changes that have taken place in the society in the post-independence period, many novelists emerged on the scene projecting the multi-faceted aspects of woman. The voice of new Indian woman is heard from 1970s with the emergence of Indian English women novelists like Nayantara Sehgal, Anitha Desai, Kamala Markandaya, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Arundhati Roy, Shashi Deshpande, Gita Mehta, Bharathi Mukherjee, and Jhumpha Lahiri.. These Feminist writers tried to stamp their authority in a male dominated environment as best as it is possible to them. This paper focuses on the way these women writers present the voice of the Indian woman who was hitherto suppressed by the patriarchal authority. Key words: suppression, identity, individuality, resistance, assertion. INTRODUCTION Indian writers have contributed much for the overall development of world literature with their powerful literary expression and immense depth in characterization. In providing global recognition to Indian writing in English, the novel plays a significant role as they portray the multi-faceted problems of Indian life and the reactions of common men and women in the society. -
Chapter-Ii Journey of Women Novelists in India
CHAPTER-II JOURNEY OF WOMEN NOVELISTS IN INDIA 2.1 Preliminaries This chapter deals with the study of „novel‟ as a popular literary genre. It traces the advent of the novel in India which is a product of colonial encounter. Essentially dominated by male writers, women‟s writings in the past were looked down upon as inconsequential. Literary contributions by Indian women writers were undervalued on account of patriarchal assumptions which prioritized the works of male experiences. For many women writers, who are products of strong patriarchal cultures, ability to write and communicate in the language of the colonizers represents power. Since English is the language of British-ruled colonies, literature written in English has often been used to marginalize and thwart female point of view. But in the post-colonial era, however, the ability to use language, read, write, speak and publish has become an enabling tool to question the absence of female authorial representation from the literary canon. Post-colonial studies sparks off questions related to identity, race, gender and ethnicity. Since one of the objectives of the post-colonial discourse is aimed at re- instating the marginalized in the face of the dominant some of the aspects it seeks to address through its fictions are those related to women‟s status in society, gender bias, quest for identity among others. As Rosalind Miles remarks, The task of interpretation of women‟s experience cannot be left to male writers alone, however sympathetic they might be. The female perspective expressed through women‟s writings of all kinds is more than a valuable corrective to an all-male view of the universe.1 Taking this argument into consideration, the present chapter will very briefly study the works of women novelists in India. -
Differences in Sleep Duration Among Four Different Population Groups of Older Adults in South Africa
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Differences in Sleep Duration among Four Different Population Groups of Older Adults in South Africa Karl Peltzer 1,2 1 HIV/AIDS/STIs and TB (HAST), Human Sciences Research Council, Pretoria 0001, South Africa; [email protected]; Tel.: +27-(0)12-302-2000 2 Department of Research and Innovation, University of Limpopo, Sovenga 0727, South Africa Academic Editors: Girardin Jean-Louis and Azizi Seixas Received: 21 March 2017; Accepted: 4 May 2017; Published: 9 May 2017 Abstract: The study aims to investigate sleep duration in four different population groups in a national probability sample of older South Africans who participated in the Study of Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) Wave 1. A national population-based cross-sectional study with a sample of 3284 aged 50 years or older in South Africa was conducted in 2008. The questionnaire included socio-demographic characteristics, health variables, and self-reported sleep duration. Results indicate that White Africans compared to other population groups had the lowest mean sleep duration (7.88 h among men and 7.46 h among women). The prevalence of short sleep (6 h or less) was the highest among both men and women among the White African (18.8% in men and 16.9% in women) and Indian or Asian African population groups (14.5% in men and 17.1% in women), and lowest among both men and women in the Black African (7.0% in men and 6.5% in women) and multi-ancestry population groups (15.6% in men and 12.7% in women). -
Introduction
I INTRODUCTION The objective of the thesis has been to explore the rootlessness in the major fictional works of V.S. Naipaul, the-Trinidad-born English author. The emphasis has been on the analysis of his writings, in which he has depicted the images of home, family and association. Inevitably, in this research work on V.S. Naipaul’s fiction, multiculturalism, homelessness (home away from home) and cultural hybridity has been explored. Naipaul has lost his roots no doubt, but he writes for his homeland. He is an expatriate author. He gives vent to his struggle to cope with the loss of tradition and makes efforts to cling to the reassurance of a homeland. Thepresent work captures the nuances of the afore-said reality. A writer of Indian origin writing in English seems to have an object, that is his and her imagination has to be there for his/her mother country. At the core of diaspora literature, the idea of the nation-state is a living reality. The diaspora literature, however, focuses on cultural states that are defined by immigration counters and stamps on one’s passport. The diaspora community in world literature is quite complex. It has shown a great mobility and adaptability as it has often been involved in a double act of migration from India to West Indies and Africa to Europe or America on account of social and political resources. Writers like Salman Rushdie, RohingtonMistry, Bahrain Mukherjee, and V.S. Naipaul write from their own experience of hanging in limbo between two identities: non-Indian and Indian.
