Indian Diaspora a Force for Good APRIL 2014 ` 50 VOLUME 2 ISSUE 7 ÁèÌð ãñ´ àææÙ âð © Indian Diaspora A FORCE FOR GOOD Feedback LETTERS MATTER BE BETTER FOCUSED ! If you intend to flatter the 'pravasi' and want him to spend on ads in your mag, it could be a non-starter I'm afraid, as the motel-owning Patels are now seeing their businesses pass into the hands of the nextgen, who are not so much obsessed with India like their parents. Alternatively, if I may suggest, you can turn it into an excellent East-West magazine, with emphasis not just on VIPs but on ordinary day-to-day people. There are many newly mar- ried Indian couples in America's West coast, for example, who would like to know how to deal with their In-laws in India. Should they send tickets when they're planning to visit ? If so, is Economy class okay, or Premium Economy as both are arthritic ? Sumit Mitra , Kolkata SOME POLITICS PLEASE !

Equations are being worked and reworked, opinion polls are doing the rounds, and hectic confabulations of political par- Dties on electoral alliances and post-electoral alignments are the talk of the day. In this milieu, most other activity that is staple for us seems to have taken on a lower key profile, with Netas and netagiri grabbing media eyeballs on most television channels, and even dominating newspaper coverage. The malaysian airline MH370 is yet to be found, even as the sighting of some debris down under holds some hope for concrete information about the lost souls who bourded that fateful airliner. On the sporting front, the mega multi-million IPL has stormclouds overhanging its fate this season, what with the Supreme Court of India coming down strongly on the BCCI while adjudicating last season's betting scam. All told, an interesting melange of matters, with sugar, spice and what have you.

  • Postnormal Imaginings in Wes Anderson's the Darjeeling Limited
    Postnormal Imaginings in Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited Perpetuating Orientalist and neocolonial representations, biases, and stereotypes as pretentious comedy is the new creed of the American New Wave Movement JOHN A. SWEENEY THE HISTORY OF THE INDIAN RAILWAY SYSTEM PRESENTS A FABLE SOME 150 YEARS old—one that helped to defne the very topography of the sub-continent and its people. Emphasizing the lasting impact of trains on India, Srinivasan observes, “Railways made India a working and recognizable structure and political and economic entity, at a time when many other forces militated against unity. Through their own internal logic, their transformation of speed and the new dynamic of the economic changes they made possible, the railways defnitively altered the Indian way of life” (Srinivasan, 2006, pxiii). While assisting in the alteration of identities, Indian railways simultaneously united and partitioned the sub-continent on a seemingly unimaginable scale. “If you dug up all the rail track in India and laid it along the equator,” writes Reeves, “you could ride around the world one-and-a- half times.” This enormous enterprise, which occurred when the idea of “India” as an integrated political unit “remained very much an imaginary notion,” originated as the fanciful legacy of British rule, which sought a material means to coalesce its occupation (Reeves, 2006, pxiii). The railway was both the cause and efect of Britain’s colonial sovereignty; the very “idea of establishing and expanding a railway system in India ofered the most vibrant excitement in colonial mind” (Iqbal, 2006, p173). The vast colonial East-West Afairs 75 project was “the work of the capitalist interest in Britain” but it “fourished and expanded frst on ground which was essentially ‘mental’” (Iqbal, 2006, p183).

  • The Battle of Sobraon*
    B.A. 1ST YEAR IIND SEMESTER Topic : *The Battle of Sobraon* The Battle of Sobraon was fought on 10 February 1846, between the forces of the East India Company and the Sikh Khalsa Army, the army of the Sikh Empire of the Punjab. The Sikhs were completely defeated, making this the decisive battle of the First Anglo-Sikh War. The First Anglo-Sikh war began in late 1845, after a combination of increasing disorder in the Sikh empire following the death of Ranjit Singh in 1839 and provocations by the British East India Company led to the Sikh Khalsa Army invading British territory. The British had won the first two major battles of the war through a combination of luck, the steadfastness of British and Bengal units and equivocal conduct bordering on deliberate treachery by Tej Singh and Lal Singh, the commanders of the Sikh Army. On the British side, the Governor General, Sir Henry Hardinge, had been dismayed by the head-on tactics of the Bengal Army's commander-in-chief, Sir Hugh Gough, and was seeking to have him removed from command. However, no commander senior enough to supersede Gough could arrive from England for several months. Then the army's spirits were revived by the victory gained by Sir Harry Smith at the Battle of Aliwal, in which he eliminated a threat to the army's lines of communication, and the arrival of reinforcements including much-needed heavy artillery and two battalions of Gurkhas. The Sikhs had been temporarily dismayed by their defeat at the Battle of Ferozeshah, and had withdrawn most of their forces across the Sutlej River.

  • The Throwback Appeal of the Santa Ynez Valley
    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | The throwback appeal of the Santa Ynez Valley Published May 26th, 2021 The throwback appeal of the Santa Ynez Valley By Fran Endicott Miller The small and very charming towns that comprise the Santa Ynez Valley are clustered together as tightly as the wine grapes from which the region's wonderful varietals are derived. Los Olivos, Solvang, Buellton, Ballard, Santa Ynez, and Los Alamos are all within easy driving (and even biking) distance from each other, making it simple to experience each within a short visit. Two to three nights is optimal, and allows for ample sampling of delicious wines, gourmet meals, and delightful hospitality. Just less than a five-hour drive from Lamorinda, the area is often overlooked in favor of the higher profile Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara. But the east and west detours off of Hwy 101 are worth a stop. Perhaps best known as home of Pea Soup Andersen's, Crown Point Vineyards Photo courtesy Crown Buellton is ready to move beyond its "Sideways" Point Vineyards notoriety. The brand new Zaca Creek Inn and Tavern provide good reason for an overnight stay. Go expressly to experience one of the Inn's six distinctive stone-walled suites to which you can retire after a gourmet meal at The Tavern where executive chef Cullen Campbell showcases the best of the Central Coast's varied purveyors in an incredibly creative menu. Featured are local caught seafood including Purple Hotchi, abalone, Grassy Bar oysters, and local spiny lobster, as well as farm fresh produce and steaks.
