PREFACE There is growing consciousness to recognize women's autonomy, and their capacity to act as full citizens. They have to be looked as change agents and important contributors to the national development. Their role in social, political and economic context has to be understood in right earnest. The forces operating in the society which ghettoized women need to be recognized and refuted, and not camouflaged. This study is an attempt to understand the role played by women in political arena in Goa. It is observed that there are inter-regional as well as intra-regional variations in the position and role of women. Various factors such as class, caste, religious affiliations, cultural milieu, the existing patriarchal practices and their diverse histories play crucial role in determining the position of women in a given region. It is therefore necessary to have specific studies on women in different regions in order to build up an adequate theoretical basis. Such an attempt would also assist in developing strategies for combating the forces operating against participation of women. The political and social life in Goa has given rise to various questions regarding the existence and nature of patriarchal system in a post-colonial society. The pervasive influence of Portuguese rule which by and large showed a positive attitude towards women is noteworthy. Further, the small size of the state has reduced the asymmetries between the representatives and represented, compelling the former to heed the needs of women. This has improved the standard of living of women in Goa, especially in the fields of health and education. However a puzzling paradox is observed where the lot of women is changed due to the welfare provisions and progressive legislation, yet the things have remained the same. This is because the traditional institutions, family, community and the state, are entrapped into the hierarchy of power relations. Though patriarchy has to be deconstructed, it should not be viewed as a ghost that cannot be fought back. Much depends on the forces operating against patriarchy in a given society. These forces include education, legal safeguards, development of scientific outlook, enlightenment of men, and awareness of their own potentials and capacities by women. Has the Goan society progressed in this terms and to what extent women are benefited by this progress, what role they ascribe for themselves, are they able to play effective role at different levels and actively participate in different spheres of life, these and such other questions forms the major concern of this study. It looks at women as freedom fighters, voters, leaders and activists. It also studies the role played by the state to promote the well-being of women in Goa. Does the state strive to fight back the forces of patriarchy, does it extend its role beyond merely removing the barriers of equality, and comply to provide 'special' treatment to women, forms an important part of this study. The completion of this work is made possible only through the help and inspiration of various people. I express my heartfelt gratitude to my Guide, Dr. Peter Ronald de Souza, who time and again gave critical comments on my work. His attitude was encouraging, and he always made me believe that I could do better. Without his co-operation, encouragement and supervision, it would have been impossible on my part to complete this work. I take this opportunity to thank the staff members of Goa University Library, Central Library - Panaji, Secretariat Library- Panaji, Jawaharlal Nehru University - Delhi, and Teen Murti Nehru Momorial- Delhi. I am also thankful to the staff of B.D.O Office of Bardez and Tiswadi Taluka, staff of Mamlatdar Office-Quepem, staff of Directorate of Women and Child Development - Panaji, State Social Welfare Advisory Board, Provedoria, Rural Development Agency, and State Commission for Women. I also extend sincere thanks to Ms Kiran Saxena- Associate Professor, JNU, Dr Adi Doctor, and Dr. D.K. Singh, who helped me with their invaluable suggestions. My special thanks goes to my respondents, the women freedom fighters, women voters from Quepem Taluka, women Panchas and Sarpanches in Bardez Taluka, members of Bailancho Saad, and the beneficiaries of the Financial Assistance to Widows Scheme from Tiswadi Taluka, who were co-operative and helpful. I am indebted to my Appa, who kept me alert with constant inquiry about my work. It is not possible to name all, but I am grateful to all those who directly or indirectly, assisted me in completing this work. This work could not have seen the light of the day, if Pradeep was not next to me in all my odd times. He blended in him the role of a friend, a staunch critic, and an emotional supporter. I dedicate my work to Pradeep. Sterna P.

  • Remembering Goa Liberation Movement
    Remembering Goa Liberation movement What is Goa liberation movement? \n\n \n The Portuguese colonised India in 1510, conquering many parts of the western coast and establishing several colonies in the east. \n By the end of the 19th century, Portuguese colonies in India were limited to Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra, and Nagar Haveli which were collectively known as Estado da India. \n After Indian independence the Britain and Francewhich colonised India started to decolonise and agreed to move back to their respective nations, but Portugal refused to leave its territories. \n To end the Portuguese rule a movement was started which was built on the small scale revolts and uprisings and later grew powerful, the moment happened during 1940-1961. \n The movement was conducted both inside and outside Goa, and was characterised by a range of tactics including nonviolent demonstrations, revolutionary methods and diplomatic efforts. \n \n\n Why Portuguese was reluctant to move? \n\n \n Portugal emphasised that it had been around 450 years in Goa and found Arabian coasts as economic gateways for its global trade. \n It also concerned about Goan Catholics who would not be safe if it left. \n The nation conveniently overlooked the fact over 60% of Goans were Hindus, and many Goan Christians, had a place of honour in Indian public life. \n \n\n How India annexed Goa? \n\n \n In 1961 an armed action code named Operation Vijay by the Indian Armed Forces was carried out to remove Portuguese administration from Goa. \n The operation involved air, sea and land strikes for over 36 hours, and was a decisive victory for the Republic of India, ending 451 years of rule of Portugal over its remaining exclaves in India.

  • Justifying Occupation?
    Justifying Occupation? A strategic frame-analysis of the way India & Israel have rhetorically justified their military annexations (1961-1981) Abstract: Besides using military power to attain new territories, framing plays an important part in holding onto them, as it enables the occupier to ‘sell’ the idea of a new post- conflict reality. Using postcolonialism as background theory, this thesis researches what historical frames were used, and what the effect of these frames were on (1) the domestic audience of the occupying country, (2) the audience of the occupied territories, and (3) the international community. It looks at the annexation of Goa (1961) and the Golan Heights (1981) as similar design case studies, where the former was accepted by more audiences. Frames that refer to national identity and safeguarding the existential safety of the occupying country, proved to be most successful across the audiences to gather support, or avoid serious sanctions from the international community, during 1961-1981. Abdul Abdelaziz S 4211766 Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands. Master thesis International Relations Supervisor: prof. dr. Bertjan Verbeek 0 Date: June 28, 2020 Wordcount (excl. sources): 27661 “Occupation, curfew, settlements, closed military zone, administrative detention, siege, preventive strike, terrorist infrastructure, transfer. Their WAR destroys language. Speaks genocide with the words of a quiet technician. Occupation means that you cannot trust the OPEN SKY, or any open street near to the gates of a sniper’s tower. It means that you cannot trust the future or have faith that the past will always be there. Occupation means you live out your live under military rule, and the constant threat of death, a quick death from a sniper’s bullet or a rocket attack from an M16.

  • Indo-Mozambican Interactions with the State (1947-1992): Civic and Religious Institutions in Lourenço Marques/ Maputo As Sites
    Indo-Mozambican Interactions with the State (1947 - 1992): ... – 186 Campinas-SP, v. 38, n. 1, pp. 186-219, jan./jun. 2018 Indo-Mozambican Interactions with the State (1947-1992): Civic and Religious Institutions in Lourenço Marques/ Maputo as Sites of Ethnic Identity Affirmation and Migratory Contestation Nafeesah Allen1 Abstract: Using in-depth ethnographic and archival data, this study argues that over the late 20th century religious and civic institutions in Lourenço Marques/Maputo served as spaces of transnational identity contestation for Mozambican residents of Indian and Pakistani origin (herein referred to as “Indo-Mozambicans”). During this period, Indo- --Mozambicans absorbed the aftershocks of four particular geo-political shifts in the Indian Ocean and the Lusophone world: Indian independence from Britain in 1947, the annexation of Portuguese India in 1961, Mozambican independence in 1975, and the Mozambican civil war from 1977 to 1992. This study explores how representative organizations changed their name, membership, and purpose over this period to ensure their institutional survival and to solidify their value as a transnational site of cultural significance. Institutional resilience is contrasted across Indo-Mozambican associations of varying faiths with special attention given to the institution of the Comunidade Hindu (herein referred to as “Comunidade”). In light of forced migration, successive decolonization movements, and fluctuating citizenship rights, the Comunidade’s continued existence today presents a valuable case study in the survival tactics employed by ethno-religious organizations to overcome pervasive vulnerability and to support members through serial insecurity. Individual members’ oral narratives articulate how ethnic sub-identity was defined and divided as political and social shifts in the Indian Ocean and Lusophone worlds collided in the late 20th century.
