The pandemic nearly brought the world to a standstill. Those of us who lived during the pandemic witnessed unknown times. The fear of getting infected of a very contagious disease that could even cause death was writ large on people’s faces. People were confined to their homes. They stepped out only when absolutely necessary, e.g. to buy provisions or to access medical services; or if they were serving in essential services like hospitals, security and police, etc. Economic activities were down to minimum. Means of public transportation were halted, all educational institutions, industries and work establishments were closed.

The ‘MSME Bank of Ideas, Innovation and Research’ portal was launched via videoconference. Registered users on the portal can share ideas, innovation and research, which will be reviewed by the officer concerned and published for public view. The users can rate these ideas for crowd sourcing and venture capitalists can also connect with the users. Besides, while interacting with members of the Maharashtra Economic Development Council, the minister said initiatives will have to be taken to locally produce all goods that are imported from China. Gadkari also said he believes the global sentiment against China in the wake of COVID-19 crisis was a “blessing in disguise” for India and presents an excellent opportunity for the country to boost its exports and attract more foreign direct investment. He also inaugurated the ‘Ayush Entrepreneurship Development Program’ via video conference. Business Line, April 30, 2020 2.

  • Dalit Cosmopolitans: Institutionally Developmental Global Citizenship in Struggles Against Caste Discrimination
    Dalit Cosmopolitans: Institutionally Developmental Global Citizenship in Struggles against Caste Discrimination Luis Cabrera1 Published in Review of International Studies 43, no. 2 (2017): 280-301. Abstract. Besides charging that global or cosmopolitan citizenship is an incoherent concept in the absence of a global state, some critics assert that it represents a form of Western-centric moral neo-imperialism. This article develops some responses to such objections through examining the efforts of Indian activists who have undertaken intensive international engagement in their struggles against caste discrimination. The National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights has sought to close domestic rights-implementation gaps for Dalits (formerly called untouchables) in part through vertical outreach to United Nations human rights bodies. This mode of outreach is shown to represent an important practice of global citizenship, and to challenge a view of South agent as primarily passive recipients of moral goods within a global citizenship frame. Further, the Dalit activists’ global citizenship practice is shown to be significantly ‘institutionally developmental’, in that it highlights implementation gaps in the global human rights regime and can contribute to pressures for suprastate institutional transformation and development to address them. NCDHR actions are, for example, highly salient to the recently renewed dialogue on creating a World Court of Human Rights. Keywords: global citizenship, Dalit rights, B.R. Ambedkar, human rights, cosmopolitanism Foreigners of course know of the existence of untouchability. But not being next door to it, so to say, they are unable to realise how oppressive it is in its actuality. … The problem is how best to give an idea of the way the untouchables are treated by the caste Hindus.
