  • Jingoism Will Not Be Able to Surmount the Deep Discontent, Says Manish Tewari
    Interview Jingoism will not be able to surmount the deep discontent, says Manish Tewari SMITA GUPTA Former Union Minister Manish Tewari. FIle photo: K. Murali Kumar The Balakot bombings that followed the terror strike in Pulwama have given an edge to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP)’s election plank of muscular nationalism and has, for the moment, at least, taken the spotlight off the failures of the Narendra Modi government. In this interview, former Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari — who is also a Distinguished Senior Fellow at The Atlantic Council’s South Asia Centre — talks to Smita Gupta, Senior Fellow, The Hindu Centre for Politics and Public Policy, New Delhi,about the impact of the BJP’s nationalism card in the upcoming general elections, the role of the media in amplifying the BJP’s message, why the Congress has been circumspect on the subject and whether it is appropriate to use national security as an election issue. He also points out that while the Balakot bombings appeased public opinion to some extent, it has also created a new strategic dynamic on the sub-continent that will make it tougher for future governments to deal with incidents of terror. Excerpts: ill the Pulwama attack, the opposition’s narrative of unemployment being at a 45-year high, rural distress, the negative impact of T demonetisation, etc appeared to be gaining ground in the public discourse. But after the Balakot air strikes, that narrative appears to have changed. Pakistan, war, terrorism appear to be the preferred subjects. Does this not give the advantage back to the BJP? There are two parallel discourses: there is a discourse in the ether which is about Pakistan, Kashmir and war hanging low over the subcontinent.

  • Negotiating Masculinity in Yogyakarta's Pool Centers
    Negotiating masculinity in Yogyakarta’s pool centers A game of skill, contesting and respecting values, and possessions Pepijn de Wit Thesis for Master of Arts degree Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology Leiden University, Faculty of Social Sciences Supervised By Jasmijn Rana, Msc. Second reader Dr. Ratna Saptari OctoBer 2016 The front page photograph was taken by Mas Neyo in Pool World, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The sociologist Ned Polsky argued the American pool room to be “the greatest and most determinedly all-male institution in American social life” (Polsky 1967: 32). “Until very recently, billiards was completely dominated by men. The atmosphere of the poolroom was very forbidding and a woman would have had trouble being accepted there” (Shamos 1995). “It is very difficult for a woman to develop billiard skill because male players, her family, and friends usually do not support her efforts and it is not easy to find experienced women instructors or coaches” (Shamos 1995). Abstract Pool is a well-known sport in Indonesia. The sport is being perceived as masculine and male dominated (Polsky 1967: 32). In this research I explore why that is and what factors play a role in the negotiation of masculinity in pool centers in Yogyakarta. I will argue that the negotiation of masculinity in Yogyakarta’s pool centers is a game of skill, contesting and respecting cultural values, and material possessions that represent social status and wealth. In addition, I will argue that pool in itself in Yogyakarta is a masculine activity because of its historical image. Women still often experience obstacles, coming forth from cultural values, that prevent them from going to pool centers, and from becoming a professional pool player.

  • Election Campaigning in a Transformed India
    TIF - Election Campaigning in a Transformed India MANJARI KATJU June 7, 2019 Waiting in line to vote | Al Jazeera English/Flickr (CC BY-SA 2.0) The Lok Sabha elections of 2019 are being held in a country that is very different from what it was in 2009 and 2014. What are political parties offering the new electorate? What will the outcome reveal of the transformation that has taken place? A Changed Context The general elections of 2019 are being held in an India which has been transformed in multifarious ways. To state the obvious, India has undergone a big change over the past three decades. Stating this fact and noting its specificities is important to understand the nature of electoral campaigning today. This is an India where more than half of the population is below 25 years and two-thirds is less than 35 (Sharma 2017); the middle class is growing, though the estimates of the size of the middle class vary, ranging from 5% - 6% to 25% - 30% of India’s population (Jodhka and Prakash 2016: 7); Census data (2011) shows that more than 30% of India’s population lives in urban areas, the number could be much higher if one were to look at satellite data and relax the official definition of an urban settlement (Sreevatsan 2017); the number of smart- phone users is expected to double from 404.1 million in 2017 to 829 million in 2022 (IANS 2018); agriculture’s share in GDP has declined to as little as 15% (Statistics Times 2019); and the number of people drawing sustenance from agriculture and allied activities has come down to about 56% (Census data 2011), this would be even lower if one only looks at those with agriculture as their primary occupation in 2018-19.
