    IMPAR Indian Muslims for Progress and Reforms Booklet on Walking Together Through Covid 19 www.impar.in www.impar.in Overview When the lockdown was announced earlier this year, it came along with multiple uncertainties of health, livelihood, inances, mental and emotional wellbeing. Any prospect of tomorrow became vague, for we had no examples from recent history and memory where something like COVID 19 had happened. While the world was trying to make sense of the new realities, certain areas of concern were resolved just by the ability of being human. Charity groups, voluntary organisations, and concerned individuals quickly offered whatever was needed to overcome the crisis. Muslim charity groups, help organisations, and individuals also participated generously, ensuring the poor are attended, stranded are provided with food, water, and other essentials. This was reported widely by the national and regional media. This booklet tries explicitly to bring to fore contributions of the Muslim community through the COVID 19 crisis. Apart from the descriptive details of the charity work undertaken by the Muslim community, this booklet also takes our attention to the concept of charity for Muslims and how it should be understood in the current socio- political situation. Islam ordains followers to help those in need. Quran and Hadith are proliferated with examples of charity that Muslims are required to oblige. However, the concept of charity is to be understood beyond the requirements of quantitative data as x kgs of ration and food packets were distributed. It is crucial to comprehend charity through the sociological lens and understanding how the idea of charity stretches on the notion of reciprocity, solidarity, and equality.

  • Exploring the Popular Culture of Street Food: CASS a Journey Into the World of Taste
    UGC Approval No:40934 CASS-ISSN:2581-6403 Exploring the Popular Culture of Street food: CASS A Journey into the World of Taste Amritha Vydoori S P Research Scholar, Dept. of English, University of Calicut Address for Correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Food, one of the most essential necessities of human life often tells the story of human history, its culture, economic and social conditions. Food is a marker of class and an instrument of socialization. Eating together plays a great role in building up human relations and spreading the culture of taste. Street food that are usually sold on the streets by hawkers and vendors in portable stalls and carts is one of the much sought after choice among the current generation. Street food culture is closely linked with road travels and has become a fashion statement for the riders who are on a mission to discover new tastes and to get in touch with unfamiliar places. India with its rich culinary tradition and diverse cuisine offers a wide range of tastes that stirs the appetite of a food lover. Arevival of the traditional food that caters to the needs of the modern taste is noticeable in such small streetshops and this enables the passing on of dietary wisdom from generation to generation. However, the migratory flows in this globalized era has brought about a mixing of cuisines and tastes too. A coexistence of tastes; old and new is the highlight of such food points.The finger-licking good food provided in the streets are often a mélange of exotic spices and ingredients that satisfy our olfactory senses too.

  • I:\GR Sharma\IJMRT Awadjesh
    IJMRT • Volume 12 • Number 2 • July-December 2018: 145-153 CULINARY TOURISM IN AWADH REGION OF UTTAR PRADESH Manish Rai* and Anupama Srivastava** Abstract: Tourism is regarded as a positive force for the preservation of nature and culture. Heritage Tourism is regarded as a conceptual and operative basis that allows for a sustainable use of heritage assets. Heritage has been conceived as the identifying set of natural and cultural assets of a society with great potential for local tourist development. The concept of sustainability is based on three main goals: social, economic and ecological. Heritage tourism is a way of development intended to improve the quality of life of host communities and preservation of the environment. Heritage tourism has the potential to improve the economic vitality of numerous communities. The primary benefit of heritage tourism is its long-term economic value with high sustainable growth rates. It generates investment in the development of heritage product, complements and engages other tourism product, rejuvenates communities. It provides considerable non-economic benefits such as promoting, protecting and sustaining the heritage base; addressing traditions and values which define nations and communities; recognizing multicultural legacies linking nations; engaging local and regional governments; and furthering important educational functions. INTRODUCTION Culture and tourism have a mutually beneficial relationship which can strengthen the attractiveness and competitiveness of tourism destinations. Culture is increasingly an important element of the tourism product, which creates distinctiveness. The tourism provides an important means of enhancing culture and creating income which can support and strengthen cultural heritage, cultural production and creativity. Creating a strong relationship between tourism and culture can therefore help tourism destinations to become more attractive as well as more competitive (OCED, 2009).

  • Food Diplomacy
    FOOD DIPLOMACY Indian cuisine reflects a 5000-year history of intermingling of various communities and cultures, leading to diverse flavours and regional cuisines. The arrival of the Mughals, the British, and Portuguese further added variety to Indian cuisine. The consequent fusion in cuisines resulted in what is today known as ‘Indian Cuisine’. Indian cuisine also means a wide variety of cooking styles. Sometimes it seems referring to it as Indian cuisine is a misnomer, since regional dishes vary tremendously from region to region. Indian cuisine has also shaped the history of international relations; the spice trade between India and Europe is often cited by historians as the primary catalyst for Europe's Age of Discovery. Spices were bought from India and traded around Europe and Asia. It has also influenced other cuisines across the world, especially those from Southeast Asia, the British Isles and the Caribbean. As food influences travelled to India, so has Indian cuisine travelled abroad. Particular dishes have gained popularity or subtle influences through spices have seeped into cuisines the worldover. History of Food There is no concrete record of the food habits of the Indus civilization. With the coming of the Aryans around 1500 BC, literary sources reveal distinct dietary behaviour. The food was simple as the early Aryans were semi-agriculturist, semi-nomadic people. As they began around 1000 BC to settle down in the fertile Gangetic plains their food became more complex and elaborate. Barley and wheat seem to have been the chief produce of the field, and consequently the principal articles of food.
