  • Kenya 'Samaj': Indian Merchants, Community Life, and Urban Society
    KENYA ‘SAMAJ’: INDIAN MERCHANTS, COMMUNITY LIFE, AND URBAN SOCIETY IN COLONIAL EAST AFRICA, C. 1890-1980 By Misha A. Mintz-Roth A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May 2019 ABSTRACT Much scholarship about Indian populations in East Africa examines their histories through categories of race and class. Immigrant groups, according to these narratives, are often seen as agents of the British Empire or as a minority racial diaspora that experienced marginalization during the colonial and post-independence periods. This dissertation takes a different approach. Examining Indians as interconnected yet separate vocational populations, it argues that Indian immigrants played a central role in making Kenya’s colonial economy, urban society, and post- independence political order. Indian merchants—the focus of this dissertation—assumed positions of economic, social, and political prominence in Kenya, building up household wealth by situating themselves between African agrarian societies, the territory’s urban markets, and the colonial state. Despite the rise of anti-Indian sentiment during the colonial period and after independence, Indian merchants cultivated linkages to new political leaders and activated longer-standing communal connections to re-assimilate into Kenya’s post-independence environment. Community networks, I argue, not race or nation, became the primary mode of belonging among Indian merchants in twentieth century Kenya, as they migrated, settled, and accumulated wealth, among other goals. This dissertation examines a diversity of historical sources, including traders’ diaries, merchants’ memoirs, court records, commercial contracts, newspapers, and records from the Kenya and India National Archives.

  • FACTORS AFFECTING PROFICIENCY AMONG GUJARATI HERITAGE LANGUAGE LEARNERS on THREE CONTINENTS a Dissertation Submitted to the Facu
    FACTORS AFFECTING PROFICIENCY AMONG GUJARATI HERITAGE LANGUAGE LEARNERS ON THREE CONTINENTS A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics By Sheena Shah, M.S. Washington, DC May 14, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Sheena Shah All Rights Reserved ii FACTORS AFFECTING PROFICIENCY AMONG GUJARATI HERITAGE LANGUAGE LEARNERS ON THREE CONTINENTS Sheena Shah, M.S. Thesis Advisors: Alison Mackey, Ph.D. Natalie Schilling, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the causes behind the differences in proficiency in the North Indian language Gujarati among heritage learners of Gujarati in three diaspora locations. In particular, I focus on whether there is a relationship between heritage language ability and ethnic and cultural identity. Previous studies have reported divergent findings. Some have found a positive relationship (e.g., Cho, 2000; Kang & Kim, 2011; Phinney, Romero, Nava, & Huang, 2001; Soto, 2002), whereas others found no correlation (e.g., C. L. Brown, 2009; Jo, 2001; Smolicz, 1992), or identified only a partial relationship (e.g., Mah, 2005). Only a few studies have addressed this question by studying one community in different transnational locations (see, for example, Canagarajah, 2008, 2012a, 2012b). The current study addresses this matter by examining data from members of the same ethnic group in similar educational settings in three multi-ethnic and multilingual cities. The results of this study are based on a survey consisting of questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and proficiency tests with 135 participants. Participants are Gujarati heritage language learners from the U.K., Singapore, and South Africa, who are either current students or recent graduates of a Gujarati School.

  • The Origins and Settlement of Hindus in Nairobi, Kenya
    International Journal of Arts and Commerce Vol. 4 No. 8 October, 2015 The Origins and Settlement of Hindus in Nairobi, Kenya Dr Moywaywa Charles Kinanga Lecturer in the Department of Religious Studies, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, South Eastern Kenya University, P.O. Box. 170-90200 Kitui, Kenya Email: [email protected] Professor Stephen Akaranga Ifedha * Associate Professor of Religion in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, University of Nairobi, P.O. Box 30197 00100 Nairobi, Kenya Email: [email protected] * Corresponding Author Abstract Hinduism is one of the minority religions in Kenya whose membership is basically drawn from the Indian immigrant community. This article analyzes the historical roots of Kenyan Hinduism and how it contributes to Kenya’s religio-cultural heritage diversity. The following questions are answered in this paper: How did Hindus migrate from India to Kenya? What factors motivated Hindu migration from India to settle in Kenya and Nairobi in particular? In what ways has Hinduism contributed to the diversity of Kenya’s religio- cultural heritage? The descriptive research design was adopted and data was collected through fieldwork using a structured questionnaire and oral interviews. The target population comprised Hindus residing in Nairobi. Data analysis was done using qualitative techniques emphasizing on the Grounded theory. The article reveals that push factors (such as inter-religious conflicts, poverty and unreliable climatic conditions) in India as well as pull factors (such as reliable climatic conditions, ample land for cultivation and absence of inter-sectarian conflicts) in Kenya, are among the major motivating factors for Hindu immigration to Kenya (Pundit, 1961).

  • Sindh the Archaeological Museum of the World
    SINDH THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF THE WORLD LOCATIONS OF BRAHMANKA, PATALA, DEMETRIAS, MIN-NAGGARA, BRAHMANO, BRAHMANVA, BRAHMANABAD, DALURAI AND MANSURA I M.H. PANHWAR There have been controversies on the above sites and more so on Brahmanabad and Mansura. This started with the coming of scientific minded Europeans in the early industrial age in the mid-eighteenth century. Many noteworthy British scholar are credited with writing series of articles, notes and books on this subject, which in this way became more clear, but also more complicated with publication of originals as well as translations of Arabic and Persian works. We have to be thankful to all those, who participated in advancement of this knowledge. Archaeology came in the picture much later. These sites were examined almost superficially by early archaeologists. Henry Cousens in the first who is credited for such explorations. The issue has remained unresolved, as historians report the founding of Mansura a town 6 miles away from Brahmanabad, but Arab geographers visiting the city also assign a local name to Mansura, which according to some means Brahmanabad. Archaeology had another problem to answer; whereas the foundations Mosques are on virgin soil, some of the residential areas also show pre-Muslim phases. Its destruction is recorded historically but not burning of parts of the city. The present paper is meant to bring to light all possible information on the existence of Brahmanabad and Mansura as mentioned in various classical works i.e. Persian, Arabic and some Indian, in a chronological order and also to give opinions of various scholars since 1753 A.D.

SHAFEEQUE AHMED B. NIKHATH YASMEEN Abstract Islam means submission to God, and the one who submits himself to Almighty is a Muslim. Islam has been spread across South India much earlier than it has reached the Northern parts of India. The Muslim Arab merchants who came to India through sea route for trading purpose, brought the principles of Islam to the Southern part especially Tamil Nadu which resulted in the acceptance of Islam by the local inhabitants with their self Keywords: conviction and literally they were not enforced to get converted. It is the simplicity of this faith, not the power of sword which attracted the local Chennai Muslim, people and a number of people accepted Islam by reciting “La‟ Ilaaha Illallah” whole heartedly. Later on the missionary activities of Muslims and Social groups, the invasion of Muslim armies down to the South flourished the popularity of Communities, Islam which enabled the spreading of its principles and concepts in different parts of Tamil Nadu. As a result a number of Muslim communities spread Muslim cultures. almost in all the districts of Tamil Nadu and settled everywhere finding their means of living.
