Depuis, maintes fois décrite comme une terre de diversité, de contrastes et de paradoxes aux richesses infinies, l’Inde n’a cessé de fasciner. Sa culture musicale, fortement imprégnée d’une ancestrale pensée religieuse, a su préserver un héritage prestigieux tout en s’enrichissant régulièrement d’apports exogènes. La musique jouée au XIIIe siècle à la cour du Sultan de Delhi était alors essentiellement importée d’Asie centrale. Par un lent processus d’intégration et d’assimilation 2 réciproques, des générations de musiciens iraniens, turcs et hindous développèrent une culture musicale syncrétique, issue des mondes persan et indien. C’est ce formidable métissage qui permit aux instruments, aux formes et aux répertoires de s’enrichir mutuellement, en donnant corps à une culture hindoustanie qui allait devenir en Occident, dans le courant du XXe siècle, l’ambassadrice des « musiques du monde ». ’Inde du Nord - Traditions hindoustanies Traditions - ’Inde du Nord L Jeudi 20 mars - 20h Salle des concerts Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, flûte bansuri Subhankar Banerjee, tabla Bhawani Shankar, pakhavaj Rupak Kulkarni, flûte bansuri 3 programme jeudi 20 mars - 20h Durée du concert : 2h Avec le soutien de l’Ambassade de France en Inde et de l’Indian Council for Cultural Relations Hariprasad Chaurasia Né en 1939, Hariprasad Chaurasia aurait dû, en bonne logique, reprendre le métier de son père, qui était lutteur.

  • Transition to Higher Education in India
    IASSI Quarterly - Contributions to Indian Social Science Vol.32, No.4 October--December 2013 pp. 1-30 Transition to Higher Education in India Jandhyala BG Tilak and K Biswal Introduction Higher education is essential for social and economic development of a nation. Today, an increasing number of countries see tertiary education as key to individual prosperity, economic security and the enduring strength of democracy. Besides the clear relationship between higher education and employment, nations are becoming conscious of the fact that there exists a deeper connection between www.IndianJournals.com higher educational attainment and the economy. For example, studies show that Members Copy, Not for Commercial Sale unemployment during recession is not caused by short-term cyclical layoffs but Downloaded From IP - 210.212.129.125 on dated 9-Apr-2015 by structural job loss. What this implies is that when structural job loss takes place in an economy with increasing skill requirements, education and training become essential to enable people to get back to work (Groshen and Potter, 2003). In other words, higher education and training play a critical role in helping economies recover from recessions; they particularly help with the issue of jobless recovery. It is, therefore, essential for countries like India that have (1) chosen the service-sector led growth path, (2) are dependent on sustainable domestic demand to minimize the impact of global recession and (3) are keen to maintain a competitive edge in the global economy, to expand their higher education systems. Widening of access to higher education is also essential for societies struggling to overcome socio-economic inequalities.

Political activist, actor, playwright and poet, Safdar had been deeply committed, like so many young men and women of his generation, to the anti-imperialist, secular and egalitarian values that were woven into the rich fabric of the nation’s liberation struggle. Safdar moved closer to the Left, eventually joining the CPI(M), to pursue his goal of being part of a social order worthy of a free people. Tragically, it would be of the manner of his death at the hands of a politically patronised mafia that would single him out. The spontaneous, nationwide wave of revulsion, grief and resistance aroused by his brutal murder transformed him into a powerful symbol of the very values that had been sought to be crushed by his death. Such a death belongs to the revolutionary martyr. 6 PUBLICATIONS Safdar was thirty-four years old when he died.
