  • APPENDIX-V FOREIGN CONTRIBUTION (REGULATION) ACT, 1976 During the Emergency Regime in the Mid-1970S, Voluntary Organizations
    APPENDIX-V FOREIGN CONTRIBUTION (REGULATION) ACT, 1976 During the Emergency Regime in the mid-1970s, voluntary organizations played a significant role in Jayaprakash Narayan's (JP) movement against Mrs. Indira Gandhi. With the intervention of voluntary organizations, JP movement received funds from external sources. The government became suspicious of the N GOs as mentioned in the previous chapter and thus appointed a few prominent people in establishing the Kudal Commission to investigate the ways in which JP movement functioned. Interestingly, the findings of the investigating team prompted the passage of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act during the Emergency Period. The government prepared a Bill and put it up for approval in 1973 to regulate or control the use of foreign aid which arrived in India in the form of donations or charity but it did not pass as an Act in the same year due to certain reasons undisclosed. However, in 1976, Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act was introduced to basically monitor the inflow of funds from foreign countries by philanthropists, individuals, groups, society or organization. Basically, this Act was enacted with a view to ensure that Parliamentary, political or academic institutions, voluntary organizations and individuals who are working in significant areas of national life may function in a direction consistent with the values of a sovereign democratic republic. Any organizations that seek foreign funds have to register with the Ministry of Home Affairs, FCRA, and New Delhi. This Act is applicable to every state in India including organizations, societies, companies or corporations in the country. NGOs can apply through the FC-8 Form for a permanent number.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Beck Sociolinguistic Profile Herero
    SOCIOLINGUISTIC PROFILE OTJIHERERO IN NAMIBIA AND IN OMATJETE ROSE MARIE BECK Sociolinguistic profiles vary in scope, depth, differentiation etc. For the following pro- file I have chosen 11 aspects, of which it will not be possible to answer all of them with information pertaining to the Omatjete area (see map on p. 3). Much of what I write here is based on Rajmund Ohly‘s excellent sociolinguistic history of Herero (—The destabilization of the Herero language, 1987). Where it was possible I have in- cluded information specific to Omatjete. Aspects of a sociolinguistic profile 1. Classification, dialectal variation and differentiation, regional distribution, num- ber of speakers 2. Linguistic features: phonolgoy, morphology, syntax, lexicon (often with special reference to loanwords) 3. Who speaks it? 4. With which proficiency (L1, L2, L3 …) Grammatical, functional, cultural, ora- ture/literature? 5. Literacy 6. Domains (i.e. ”socio-culturally recognized spheres of activity‘ in which a lan- guage is used, a —social nexus which brings people together primarily for a cluster of purposes - … and primarily for a certain set of role-relations“ (Fishman 1965:72; 75). Spheres of activities may be: home, village, church, school, shop/market, recreation, wider communication, government and ad- ministration, work 7. Language attitudes and choice 8. Multilingualism and polyglossia 9. Language policy 10. Language development: - promotion and publication - codification - standardisation and education - foreign scholar involvement 11. Language vitality: positive, negative, and key factors 1 1. Classification, dialectal variation and differentiation, regional distribution, number of speakers Herero is a Bantu language (Niger Congo œ Benue-Kongo œ Bantoid œ Southern œ Narrow Bantu œ Central), classified according to Guthrie (1948) as R30.
