Hindi is the second most spoken language in the world following the Chinese. Geographically, people who speak Hindi are scattered all over the world including in the United States.

There are many reasons why it’s gaining popularity. These events show some evidences.

1. Edison schools get funds to add Hindi classes

The township school district has received a federal grant that will help introduce a Hindi language course in the curriculum in September 2008.

The first-year grant is $197,500 for 2007-08 to develop the curriculum. Additional grant money will be available to implement the program.

The curriculum will be modeled after courses taught in Texas schools. The Texas Hindi program, which begins in ninth grade, has been taught for the past few years.

The plan for Edison is to introduce and adapt Hindi for grades nine through 12.

Approximately 45 percent of the students in Edison are Asian. The Asian-Indian community was eager to start the less commonly taught subject.

2. Cameron University to offer Hindi class

Cameron will offer Hindi language courses for the first time in the fall, taught by a Fulbright Scholar from India.

“We are offering it because India has become an increasingly important player in a global economy, making the language useful for those in business and finance,” said Margery Kingsley, chairman of the foreign languages department. “Lawton also has a vibrant Indian community, and making the Hindi courses available will, we hope, contribute to local awareness of Indian culture, literature and films of India.”

Because many residents of India speak English well, the American business community has not been hard-pressed to learn the language. But knowing it can lead to more genial business relationships, and be helpful as a means of breaking the ice.

About 5,000 Asian Indians live in Oklahoma. Many second and third generation families only speak English but would discover more about their culture and ancestors by learning Hindi.

3. World Hindi Conference In New York – July 13 to 15, 2007

Eighth World Hindi Conference is being held in New York from July 13 to 15, 2007. It is being organized in cooperation with Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, New York.The Conference will deliberate on issues relating to the growth and presence of Hindi in the world including teaching of Hindi in foreign countries, use of information technology and necessary measures to increase its popularity.

So far seven World Hindi Conferences have been held at Nagpur (India), Port Louis (Mauritius, twice), New Delhi (India), Port of Spain (Trinidad & Tobago), London (UK) and Paramaribo (Suriname). This time the conference is being organized in the Americas where a large number of Non Resident Indians (NRIs) or People of Indian Origin (PIOs) are settled.

The conference will be inaugurated at the United Nations headquarters on 13th July. A large number of distinguished guests and senior dignitaries from various countries are expected to attend the conference along with eminent Hindi scholars, writers and poets from across the globe.

Its 275 million speakers rank it as one of the leading languages of the world but it is, nevertheless, understood by only about one third of India's population. When independence was achieved in 1947, Hindi was chosen as one of India's national language.
Like most of the languages of northern India, Hindi is a direct descendant of Sanskrit. It has been influenced and enriched by Dravidian,Turkish, Farsi, Arabic, Portuguese and English. Hindi and Urdu, the official language of Pakistan, are virtually the same language, though the former is written in the Sanskrit characters and the latter in the Perso-Arabic script. Pure Hindi derives most of its vocabulary from Sanskrit, while Urdu contains many words from Persian and Arabic. The basis of both languages is actually Hindustani, the colloquial form of speech that served as the lingua franca of much of India for more than four centuries. Hindi was originally a variety of Hindustani spoken in the area of New Delhi. Its development into a national language had its beginnings in the colonial period, when the British began to cultivate it as a standard among government officials. Later it was used for literary purposes and has since then become the vehicle for prose and poetry.

SWINE FLUE/ SWINE INFLUENZA

What is swine influenza?

It is the type of influenza that is caused by those strains of influenza virus,(swine influenza virus) that usually infect pigs.

SYNONYMS:

It is also called as: swine flu, hog flu and pig flu.

CAUSATIVE AGENT:

As of 2009 these strains are all found in Influenza C virus and the subtypes of Influenza A virus known as H1N1, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2, and H2N3. Swine influenza is common in pigs in the midwestern United States (and occasionally in other states), Mexico, Canada, South America, Europe (including the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Italy), Kenya, Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and other parts of eastern Asia.[2]

Of the three genera of influenza viruses that cause human flu, two also cause influenza in pigs, with Influenza virus A being common in pigs and Influenza virus C being rare.[7] Influenza virus B has not been reported in pigs. Within Influenza virus A and Influenza virus C, the strains found in pigs and humans are largely distinct, although due to reassortment there have been transfers of genes among strains crossing swine, avian, and human species boundaries.

 

History

Swine influenza was first proposed to be a disease related to human influenza during the 1918 flu pandemic, when pigs became sick at the same time as humans.The first identification of an influenza virus as a cause of disease in pigs occurred in 1930. For the following 60 years, swine influenza strains were almost exclusively H1N1. Then, between 1997 and 2002, new strains of three different subtypes and five different genotypes emerged as causes of influenza among pigs in North America. In 1997-1998, H3N2 strains emerged. These strains, which include genes derived by reassortment from human, swine and avian viruses, have become a major cause of swine influenza in North America. Reassortment between H1N1 and H3N2 produced H1N2. In 1999 in Canada, a strain of H4N6 crossed the species barrier from birds to pigs, but was contained on a single farm.The H1N1 form of swine flu is one of the descendants of the strain that caused the 1918 flu pandemic.As well as persisting in pigs, the descendants of the 1918 virus have also circulated in humans through the 20th century, contributing to the normal seasonal epidemics of influenza.However, direct transmission from pigs to humans is rare, with only 12 cases in the U.S. since 2005.Nevertheless, the retention of influenza strains in pigs after these strains have disappeared from the human population might make pigs a reservoir where influenza viruses could persist, later emerging to reinfect humans once human immunity to these strains has waned.

Swine flu has been reported numerous times as a zoonosis (The simplest definition of a zoonosis is a disease that can be transmitted from other vertebrate animals to humans. A slightly more technical definition is a disease that normally infects other animals, but can also infect humans). in humans, usually with limited distribution, rarely with a widespread distribution. Outbreaks in swine are common and cause significant economic losses in industry, primarily by causing stunting and extended time to market. For example, this disease costs the British meat industry about £65 million every year.

1918 pandemic in humans

The 1918 flu pandemic in humans was associated with H1N1 and influenza appearing in pigs

After 1918 several outbreaks of swine flue in different years occur but the most current is of 2009

2009 outbreak in humans

The 2009 flu outbreak is due to a new strain of subtype H1N1 not previously reported in pigs.In late April, Margaret Chan, the World Health Organization’s director-general, declared a “public health emergency of international concern” under the rules of the WHO’s new International Health Regulations when the first cases of the H1N1 virus were reported in the United States. The outbreak, on May 2, 2009, it was reported in pigs at a farm in Alberta, Canada, with a link to the outbreak in Mexico. The pigs are suspected to have caught this new strain of virus from a farm worker who recently returned from Mexico, then showed symptoms of an influenza-like illness.These are probable cases, pending confirmation by laboratory testing.

The new strain was initially described as apparent reassortment of at least four strains of influenza A virus subtype H1N1, inluding one strain endemic in humans, one endemic in birds, and two endemic in swine. Subsequent analysis suggested it was a reassortment of just two strains, both found in swine.Although initial reports identified the new strain as swine influenza (ie, a zoonosis originating in swine), its origin is unknown. Several countries took precautionary measures to reduce the chances for a global pandemic of the disease

 

 

HOW IT IS TRANSMITTED:

TRANSMISSION IN HUMAN?

Transmission of swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is not common and does not always cause human influenza, often only resulting in the production of antibodies in the blood. The meat of the animal poses no risk of transmitting the virus when properly cooked. If transmission does cause human influenza, it is called zoonotic swine flu. People who work with pigs, especially people with intense exposures, are at increased risk of catching swine flu. In the mid-20th century, identification of influenza subtypes became possible, this allows accurate diagnosis of transmission to humans. Since then, fifty confirmed transmissions have been recorded, Rarely, these strains of swine flu can pass from human to human.

HOW IT IS TRANSMITTED? (CONTINUE)

TRANSMISSION IN PIGS:

Transmission between pigs

Influenza is quite common in pigs, with about half of breeding pigs having been exposed to the virus in the US  Antibodies to the virus are also common in pigs in other countries. The main route of transmission is through direct contact between infected and uninfected animals. These close contacts are particularly common during animal transport. Intensive farming may also increase the risk of transmission, as the pigs are raised in very close proximity to each other.The direct transfer of the virus probably occurs either by pigs touching noses, or through dried mucus. Airborne transmission through the aerosols produced by pigs coughing or sneezing are also an important means of infection .The virus usually spreads quickly through a herd, infecting all the pigs within just a few days. Transmission may also occur through wild animals, such as wild boar, which can spread the disease between farms.

 

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF SWINE FLUE?

SYMPTOMS IN HUMANS:

In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever- Sudden fever above 38 degrees (100.4 degrees Fahrenheit), aching joints, nasal congestion, general fatiguesore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort

The 2009 outbreak has shown an increased percentage of patients reporting diarrhea and vomiting.[65] The 2009 H1N1 virus is not zoonotic swine flu, as it is not transmitted from pigs to humans, but from person to person.

 

 

SYMPTOMS IN SWINE:

In pigs influenza infection produces fever, lethargy, sneezing, coughing, difficulty breathing and decreased appetite.In some cases the infection can cause abortion. Although mortality is usually low (around 1-4%),the virus can produce weight loss and poor growth, causing economic loss to farmers. Infected pigs can lose up to 12 pounds of body weight over a 3 to 4 week period

 

IS THERE ANY VACCINES AVALABLE FOR SWINE INFLUENZA????

There are no any vaccine uptil now avalable which contain swine influenza virus causing disease in humans. It is not known too that current seasonal influenza vaccines provide the protection. Influenza viruses change very quikly . It is important to develop vaccine for current circulating virus strain, to provide the people maximum protection.

 

HOW THE SWINE INFLUENZA CAN BE TREATED?

If a person becomes sick with swine flu, antiviral drugs can make the illness milder and make the patient feel better faster. They may also prevent serious flu complications. For treatment, antiviral drugs work best if started soon after getting sick (within 2 days of symptoms). Beside antiviral, palliative care, at home or in hospital, focuses on controlling fevers and maintaining fluid balance. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the use of Tamiflu (oseltamivir) or Relenza (zanamivir) for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with swine influenza viruses, however, the majority of people infected with the virus make a full recovery without requiring medical attention or antiviral drugs.The virus isolates in the 2009 outbreak have been found resistant to amantadine and rimantadine.

TREATMENT In confirmed cases: Mexican authorities have provided patients with flu drugs Seltamivir or Zanamivir under strict medical supervision, and warn against side effects in misuse.

The Mexican government said that the antiviral drugs would only be administered if infection is confirmed.

 

HOW THE HUMAN CAN BE PREVENTED FROM SWINE INFLUENZA?

Prevention of pig to human transmission

 

 

Swine can be infected by both avian and human influenza strains of influenza, and therefore are hosts where the antigenic shifts can occur that create new influenza strains.

The transmission from swine to human is believed to occur mainly in swine farms where farmers are in close contact with live pigs. Although strains of swine influenza are usually not able to infect humans this may occasionally happen, so farmers and veterinarians are encouraged to use a face mask when dealing with infected animals. The use of vaccines on swine to prevent their infection is a major method of limiting swine to human transmission. Risk factors that may contribute to swine-to-human transmission include smoking and not wearing gloves when working with sick animals.

Prevention of human to human transmission

Influenza spreads between humans through coughing or sneezing and people touching something with the virus on it and then touching their own nose or mouth. Swine flu cannot be spread by pork products, since the virus is not transmitted through food. The swine flu in humans is most contagious during the first five days of the illness although some people, most commonly children, can remain contagious for up to ten days. Diagnosis can be made by sending a specimen, collected during the first five days for analysis.

Recommendations to prevent spread of the virus among humans include using standard infection control against influenza. This includes frequent washing of hands with soap and water or with alcohol-based hand sanitizers, especially after being out in public. Chance of transmission is also reduced by disinfecting household surfaces, which can be done effectively with a diluted chlorine bleach solution

 

HOW THE SWINE INFLUENZA BE DIAGNOSED?

 

DIAGNOSIS: Clinical examination of secretions from the nose and mouth in the first 24-72 hours after presenting symptoms, and a study of blood samples to detect existence of influenza virus.

HOW LONG THE INFECTED PERSON BE THE SOURCE OF INFECTION TO OTHERS?

People with swine influenza virus infection should be considered potentially contagious as long as they are symptomatic and possible for up to 7 days following illness onset. Children, especially younger children, might potentially be contagious for longer periods.

What can I do to protect myself from getting sick?

There is no vaccine available right now to protect against swine flu. There are everyday actions that can help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses like influenza. Take these everyday steps to protect your health:

Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective. Try to avoid close contact with sick people. If you get sick with influenza, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.

FIVE TIPS TO KEEP YPURSELF AWAY FROM SWINE INFLUENZA?

1.Stay home if you’re sick.

2.Avoid close contact with people who are sick

3.Wash your hands often and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

4.Cover your mouth or nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing

5.Keep up with health information in your own community

That makes the mostly awaited film of this year ‘Sing is Kinng’.

‘Singh is Kinng’ is a fully entertaining film with comedy, romance, action and drama. All these are well coordinated in such a way that audience will never think themselves as looser after watching the film. This is a big challenge for Akshay Kumar to prove himself as the no. 1 actor of Bollywood. ‘Singh is Kinng’ can really make a platform for Akshay Kumar to prove him as the King of Bollywood. So what about SRK fans? Are they also excited the same way? Here Akshay worked together with his another successful pair Katrina Kaif.

Everything is there in the movie but still it’s not a foolproof product. It has its share of flaws, turn of events aren’t enchanting at times, but the film moves so fast and packs in so much, that there is no time to think or analyze it.

Obviously the main attraction, the big entertainer of Bollywood film industry Akshay Kumar (named Happy Singh in the movie). The success of the film in Box Office significantly depends on him. Let’s see what the output is coming in future. After all audiences are the main evaluators.

Dreaming in Hindi: Coming Awake in Another LanguageDreaming in Hindi: Coming Awake in Another Language

An eye-opening and courageous memoir that explores what learning a new language can teach us about distant worlds and, ultimately, ourselves.

 

After miraculously surviving a serious illness, Katherine Rich found herself at an impasse in her career as a magazine editor. She spontaneously accepted a freelance writing assignment to go to India, where she found herself thunderstruck by the place and the language, and before she knew it she was on her way to Udaipur, a city in the northwestern state of Rajasthan, in order to learn Hindi. Rich documents her experiences—ranging from the bizarre to the frightening to the unexpectedly exhilarating—using Hindi as the lens through which she is given a new perspective not only on India, but on the radical way the country and the language itself were changing her. Fascinated by the process, she went on to interview linguistics experts around the world, reporting back from the frontlines of the science wars on what happens in the brain when we learn a new language. She brings both of these experiences together seamlessly in Dreaming in Hindi, a remarkably unique and thoughtful account of self-discovery.

Dreaming in Hindi: Coming Awake in Another LanguageDreaming in Hindi: Coming Awake in Another LanguageAt a time when her life seemed to be crumbling, Katherine Russell Rich took on a writing assignment in India, where she was seduced by the idea of learning to speak Hindi, the language she heard swirling all around her. In a rash moment, she determined she’d go live and study in the ancient city of Udaipur. That decision lead to unexpected reclamation.  In this beautiful and spirited memoir, she documents her experiences, from the bizarre to the frightening to the full-out exhilarating. Seamlessly combining her courageous (and often hilarious) personal journey with reporting on the science of language acquisition, Dreaming in Hindi offers an eye-opening account of what learning a new tongue can teach us about distant worlds and, ultimately, about ourselves.

Sketches from My Past: Encounters with India's Oppressed (Hindi Edition)This is a translation of Mahadevi Varma's 'Ateet Ke Chalchitra' by Neera Kuckreja Sohoni. Includes case studies with poor Indians, mostly women.
Mahadevi Varma: Political Essays on Women, Culture, and NationMahadevi Varma: Political Essays on Women, Culture, and NationThis edited volume of translations covers the major political essays of India's first feminist Hindi poet. A devout follower and advocate of Gandhi, Mahadevi Varma is a household name in India and is a major woman of letters in the modern Hindi world. The essays collected in this volume represent some of Mahadevi Varma’s most famous writings on the “woman question” in India. The collection also includes an introduction to her life, with biographical notes, an analysis of her importance in the field of Hindi letters, as well as a selection of her poems – these latter because Mahadevi Varma made her mark in the world of Hindi literature through her poetry, and a volume of translations would be incomplete without a sampling of them. The introduction to the translated volume sketches Mahadevi Varma's life and work and her significance to both the development of modern standard Hindi as well as to the nascent women's movement underway in the 1920s in India. Little scholarly attention has been given in the academy outside of India to Varma’s numerous contributions to women’s education, to the development of modern standard Hindi, and to political thought during the Independence movement in late-colonial India. This volume of translations engages themes like language and nationalism, women’s roles as artists, the politics of motherhood and marriage—themes that continue to be relevant to women’s lives in contemporary India and to movements for women’s rights outside India as well. This volume of translations of Mahadevi Varma’s feminist political essays is the first of its kind. While some of these essays, especially those from Mahadevi Varma’s Hamari Shrinkhala Ki Kariyan collection have been translated by Neera K. Sohoni and published under the title Links in the Chain (Katha, 2003), there is no sustained treatment of Varma’s political thinking in one, accessible volume. While there is ample work on Varma in Hindi, scholars of feminism (and students of Hindi who are in the nascent stages of language acquisition) have nowhere to turn for a comprehensive sampling of her work. Mahadevi Varma is also one of the most difficult writers to access even for trained scholars of Hindi language and literature. Her highly Sanskritized diction and her stylized prose sketches make her work a pleasure to read in the original but daunting to translate into English. This volume has contributions from some of the most highly regarded Hindi experts. In the editor’s introduction to the volume of translations a brief biographical sketch followed by an analysis of the political climate of Northern India has been provided so that the reader unfamiliar with India of the 1920s-1940s will have the necessary historical context to place her work. The introduction to the volume also raises the issue of why she gave up writing poetry and turned solely to writing prose when she became involved with the movements for women’s rights and national independence. Finally, the volume provides feminist cultural historians a rich archive of how Indian women like Mahadevi Varma were actively negotiating their lives as women, activists, artists, teachers, and married women. This work will be of use to scholars of Hindi language and literature in the US/European academy and should be of interest to cultural and feminist historians of modern India. This volume will introduce Mahadevi Varma’s literary scope to an English-speaking audience, and will serve as a reference for feminist historians of the nationalist period in the Indian subcontinent.
Poetry, Politics and Culture: Essays on Indian Texts and ContextsPoetry, Politics and Culture: Essays on Indian Texts and Contexts

This book maps the journey of the Indian poetic imagination—in Hindi, Panjabi and Indian English—from its original quasi-spiritual longings to its activist interventions in the public domain. As Indian poetry of the post-1990s gravitates towards a non-Orientalised postcolonial nationalism, it seeks to rewrite and disseminate the shifting coordinates of nationalist imagination in terms of the dissent of the subaltern discontents of the nation.

The book is interdisciplinary: it studies Indian poetry from the new emerging imperatives of postcolonialism, new historiography (subaltern, dalit and diasporas), nationalism, and cultural studies. Covering the two major north Indian languages—Hindi and Punjabi—along with poetry in Indian English, the book is a close textual study of about 150 poetry collections in these languages. It is path-breaking in its study of secular poetry written in the so-called vernaculars, with critical attention to its participation in the political as well as cultural processes of nation-making.

This cutting-edge book should be of interest to scholars of Indian writings in English, Hindi and Panjabi, gender studies, dalit and diaspora studies, postcolonial poetry and to students reading South Asian literature and culture.
Language Versus Dialect: Linguistic and Literary Essays on Hindi, Tamil and SarnamiIndia has a multiplicity of languages and dialects. Papers in this volume present a variegated overview of the problem relative to two great literary languages,Hindi(including Sarnami) and Tamil. From a methodological point of view they represent a description of different linguistic and literacy aspects and problems.

It is the land where nature, history and culture merge harmoniously into tourism. 42 kilometers north of Munnar through the Udumalppetta route, Marayoor is the only place in Kerala that has natural sandal wood forests. Ancient dolmens and rock paintings in Marayoor tell the story of a muted history dating back to the Stone Age. In 1991 Marayoor had a population of 9,590.[1]

Name and Legend The name Marayoor is said to be derived from two words “mara” and “oor”, in Malayalam and Tamil languages. “mara” means hidden and “oor” means land. Legend has it the great Pandavas of Mahabharata epic, had stayed in the area during their exile and so the place was named as ‘Maranjirunna oor’ or the land (they) hide. Later it became the land’s name “Marayoor.” Another argument is that the name Marayoor is derived from the words “mala” and “oor”, “mala” means mountain and “oor” means land, hence it was meant to be “the land of the mountains”, as the land is surrounded by mountains. Some scholars toyed with the idea that it can be both “mara” and “mala” as the name Marayoor could be interpreted as the land hidden by the mountains. There is no reason to give any credit to the story regarding Pandavas. Mara means cover and Mala means mountain. As such the argument of equivalence of mara and mala is out of question.

The most probable meaning of the place name is the Uru (Village) of Maravars (A tribe lived in this area during the turn of Christian Era, who used to attack travelers for looting, hiding in the forest. The word meaning is ‘people who hides’, They were traditionally members of the army of tribal chiefs and the Maharajas of Chera, Chola and Pandya).

marayoor Sarkkara: Sarkkara is dark brown sugar balls made of condensed sugarcane juice. It is also known as jaggery or “gud” (Hindi). Each lump or ball of jaggery might weigh upto 1.5 kg. Sugar cane is a major crop of Marayoor and Kanthalloor. In sugarcane farms, there are small jaggery factories that manufacture jaggery. The best jaggery in India is produced in Marayoor. It is therefore of great demand in households across the country for the preparation of sweets and relishes.

Marayoor’s famous product: Sugarcane sarkkara (dark sugar balls used in cooking sweets)

Marayoor is famous for: Wildlife tourism, trekking, Megalithic dolmens, and Sandalwood forests

Main animal attractions: Elephants, Indian Bison

Endangered species of Marayoor: Aibizia lathamii (tree), Grizzled Giant Squirrel, Star tortoise.

Sandalwood forests

Way through the sandalwood forest

Marayoor is famous for its natural sandalwood forests. In fact, Marayoor is the only place in Kerala where natural sandalwood forest is seen. There is a sandalwood depot near Marayoor town where sandalwood is processed. Sandal wood or Santalum album is a parasitic tree having a fragrant and close-grained yellowish heartwood. Sandalwood oil, also known as ‘liquid gold,’ is extracted from the roots and wood of sandalwood. This oil is a costly item marketed at a few choosy outlets all over the state. A climate with low rainfall is suitable for the growth of choice sandalwood trees from which good quality oil can be extracted. The 93 km² Marayoor reserve forest is believed to have about sixty thousand naturally grown sandalwood tress, of which nearly 2,000 trees had been allegedly plundered in just one year since January 2004, when the last survey was conducted. The auction rate for first quality Marayoor sandal is quoted at Rs. 1100 per kg, according to forest department sources

How to reach there:

Marymoor, a rain-shadow village on the eastern slopes of the Western Ghats , is 40 kms from Munnar on the Udumalpet road. It holds a lot of natures blessing to be unfolded before its visitors.Its also a unique place where tourism meets adventure. The fresh mountain air, the mist-clad hills and panoramic view make it worthy of a visit. By travelling either from Marayoor to Munnar or from Munnar to Marayoor, one can feel the enchanting beauty of natures blessing to be remembered for a life time.

e-Choupal

Introduction

e-Choupal is an initiative of ITC Limited (a large multi business conglomerate in India) to link directly with rural farmers for procurement of agricultural / aquaculture produce like soybeans, wheat, coffee, etc. The company has initiated an e-Choupal effort that places computers with Internet access in rural farming villages; the e-Choupals serve as both a social gathering place for exchange of information (choupal means gathering place in Hindi) and an e-commerce hub.

e-Choupal is a Hindi word which means “village meeting place”. Market is a meeting place where vendors and customers come together to do transactions. e-Choupal is a virtual market place where farmers can transact directly with a processor and can realize better price for their produce. e-Choupal has the advantages of the market but spans very large varieties of vendors and customers. Geographical distances do not restrict participation in the e-Choupal. The main disadvantage of conventional market is that information asymmetry is inherent in the market where as e-Choupal provides for transparent transactions. This enables the participation of smaller as well as larger players. Elimination of some layers of intermediaries allows for larger share of profits to reach the lower end of value chain. The main attractiveness of e-Choupal is that it can be used for connecting large producers/small producers and small users/large users, thereby eliminating the need for hierarchy of brokers. Internet is used as a low transaction cost backbone for communication. Physical delivery of produce to the processor is still done through the existing intermediaries. e-Choupal does not attempt total elimination of intermediaries, as intermediaries are indispensable in economy like India where intermediaries are adding value to the every step of value chain at a low cost. Intermediaries have the expertise in storage, transportation, quality assessment and counter party risk reduction, which are difficult to replicate. e-Choupal provides farmers with all the market information and this helps them to become market oriented. In e-Choupal intermediaries are leveraged but they are disintermediated from the market information flowing to the farmers.

 

Unique Business Model: e-Choupal

The e-Choupal model has been specifically designed to tackle the challenges posed by the unique features of Indian agriculture, characterized by fragmented farms, weak infrastructure and the involvement of numerous intermediaries, who block critical market information from passing to the farmers and use that information for getting a big margin for themselves. The intermediaries capitalized on the economies of information and economies of physical things, which are tied together in a bundle. Due to this, the farmer does not get the proper price of its product & they continue to live below the poverty line. But e-Choupal sets things in order as it smoothens the flow of information to the farmers by disinter mediating intermediaries from the chain of information flow and at the same time leverages the physical transmission capabilities of the them as they deliver critical value at every link for a very low cost in a weak infrastructure environment. The structure of e-Choupal is shown in figure.

 

The project e-Choupal is ITC’s unique click & mortar initiative e-Choupal is an ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) platform for carrying out trade at a number of locations. In this, ITC sets up a back-up physical service support at the village level, called Choupal, through Sanchalak: a lead farmer, who acts as the interface between computer and the farmer. ITC accumulates information regarding weather, modern farming practices, and market prices from sources like Meteorological Department, Agri-universities, mandis (regional market) etc., and upload all information on to e-Choupal web site. All information is customized according to local farmers requirements and provided into the local language through computer set up by ITC in Sanchalak’s house. Sanchalak access this information and facilitates its dissemination to farmers. Information regarding weather and scientific farming helps farmers to select the right crop and improve the productivity of their farms. Availability of market information helps farmers to become market oriented. They know what price ITC is quoting and the price prevalent in the local market, thereby helping better price realization for farmers. If farmer decides to sell to ITC, Sanchalak works as the aggregator of small farmers produce to sell them to ITC. Sanchalak also aggregates farmers input purchase orders for various items like seeds, pesticides and places them directly with the suppliers through internet and facilitate supply of high quality farm inputs as well as purchase of farm produce at farmer’s doorstep with the help of intermediaries as shown in figure previously. It can be deciphered that e-Choupal has added critical value to the existing supply chain through innovative application of information technology. ITC-IBD has successfully reached the vastly scattered farming villages of India and facilitated the smooth flow of rich information to them by disintermediating the intermediaries in flow of information. Power of information is working as the catalyst of transformation of the life of farmers by helping them to get improved yields from their farms and better price realization. Usually it is tough to maintain the expanding scale of reach and richness into the products or services but e-Choupal is achieving it easily and we find that overall value chain has been shifted horizontally on the scale of reach and richness. e-Choupal is an ICT platform that facilitates flow of information and knowledge, and supports market transactions on line.

It transmits Information (weather, prices, news), It transfers Knowledge (farm management, risk management) It facilitates sales of Farm Inputs (screened for quality) and It offers the choice of an alternative Output-marketing channel (convenience, lower transaction costs) to the farmer right at his doorstep It is an interlocking network of partnerships (ITC + Met Dept + Universities + Input COs + Sanyojaks, the erstwhile Commission Agents) bringing the “best-inclass” in information, knowledge and inputs.

 

 

e-Choupal is, thus, distributed transaction platform that brings together sellers, buyers along with information and service providers. e-choupal is a model with a number of non-conventional characteristics namely:

customer centric capable of being used for many commodities and multiple transactions easily scalable once it is verified uses local talent and local people and develops local leaders can be extended to local as well as global procurers stimulates local entrepreneurs to extend their innovativeness uses all the existing institutions and legal frameworks and many others can join the market as transaction time is low.

Critical Success Factors

The e-Choupal experience highlights that ICT platforms can provide rural connectivity and e-commerce support. These platforms have enormous potential provided they are conceptualized for the specific needs of the community and business. Some of the elements that helped the e-Choupal to work successfully are discussed below:

Comprehensive knowledge of rural markets: Rural markets are both economic and social networks and there is a strong connection between the operation of social and economic transactions. Understanding the operations is vital before the systems are conceptualized. Use of local population, as much as possible helped the network to get the acceptance closely.

 Designing a Win-Win transaction model: The success of e-Choupal comes from the condition in which both the farmer and the processor share the benefits coming out of the elimination of middle men and hence  due to timely information availability.

Leveraging the logistics channels: The existing logistics of the rural markets are leveraged but they are not able to exploit the information asymmetry (unlike that in a conventional market). In that sense e-choupal uses the local institutions but eliminates the information asymmetry that they used previously.

Selection of Sanchalak: Both the selection of Sanchalak and the acceptance of Sanchalak by the community are very critical for the success of e-Choupal. ITC used a trial and error method for developing the procedure for selecting Sanchalaks. In the platform terminology Sanchalak is the interface for maintaining the platform. For the farmer the Sanchalak is the e-Choupal. Training and sensitizing him for the crucial role has been the main reason for the acceptance of the Sanchalak by the farmers. Sanchalak, thus, acts as the coordinator of the knowledge community, and a representative of farming community.

Evolving an appropriate user interface: The Technology interface used in rural areas has to be very simple. Interface has to be tried for rural settings and only after its validation it has to be used. Firstly, one has to understand the user pattern and secondly, it has to be tried, tested and validated. For example, farmers do not understand the concept of insurance. e-Choupal evolved a simple interfacing arrangement that a farmer can understand.

Bottom-up model for entrepreneurship: e-Choupal encourages enormous amount of creativity at the local level along with local entrepreneurship stimulation. The farmer and Sanchalak are free to use the e-choupal and develop new uses. e-Choupal unleashes the creative spirit in the rural India.

Introduction by Simon Brodbeck
The New Sciences of Religion: Exploring Spirituality from the Outside In and Bottom UpThe New Sciences of Religion: Exploring Spirituality from the Outside In and Bottom Up

The New Sciences of Religion is a critical analysis of new scientific research on religious and spiritual phenomena. William Grassie takes a two-staged phenomenological approach working from the “outside in” and the “bottom up” without privileging at the outset any religious traditions or philosophical assumptions. Using insights from economics, evolutionary psychology, the neurosciences, and medicine, Grassie develops a complex and multifaceted understanding of religion as potentially functional and dysfunctional in specific contexts, differentially so for individuals and groups. The New Sciences of Religion then asks what in religion and spirituality might also be true and profound when our received traditions are reinterpreted in light of contemporary sciences. In contrast to the New Atheists, Grassie argues for a concept of God-by-whatever-name that is fully compatible with contemporary science and the reinterpretation of traditional religions. In the end, there is no grand unified theory of religion and none of the many scientific explanations of religion preclude that religions have intuited, experienced, and discovered true and profound insights into the nature of ultimate reality and human existence. This is an original and compelling scientific interpretation of religion and also a religious interpretation of science that will challenge and delight students and scholars alike.
Revolt! The Next Great Transformation from Kleptocracy Capitalism to Libertarian Socialism through Counter Ideology, Societal Education, & Direct ActionRevolt! The Next Great Transformation from Kleptocracy Capitalism to Libertarian Socialism through Counter Ideology, Societal Education, & Direct ActionChampioning counter ideology, societal education, and direct action professor Asimakopoulos develops a theory to action model for working class movement building toward societies based on self-organization and self-direction. Revolt! begins with an analysis of the 2008 economic collapse showing how neoliberal globalization is intensifying capitalism's contradictions resulting in perpetual crises affecting workers. By looking at the labor and civil rights movements it then demonstrates meaningful working class gains were obtained through high levels of class conflict made possible by radical leaders and ideology, class-consciousness and solidarity through societal education, and even rebellion. Now, argues professor Asimakopoulos, social justice can only be achieved through a new movement which, short of the immediate overthrow of capitalism, can obtain with direct action specific working class victories that will set in motion evolutionary radical change. One strategic proposal is demanding corporate boards of directors only include community and labor representatives. Revolt! will be of most interest to workers, activists, college students, and scholars, as well as anyone interested in the practical side of radical anarchism, Marxism, and social movements.

Race and Class Matters at an Elite CollegeRace and Class Matters at an Elite College

In Race and Class Matters at an Elite College, Elizabeth Aries provides a rare glimpse into the challenges faced by black and white college students from widely different class backgrounds as they come to live together as freshmen. Based on an intensive study Aries conducted with 58 students at Amherst College during the 2005-2006 academic year, this book offers a uniquely personal look at the day-to-day thoughts and feelings of students as they experience racial and economic diversity firsthand, some for the first time.

Through online questionnaires and face-to-face interviews, Aries followed four groups of students throughout their first year of college: affluent whites, affluent blacks, less financially advantaged whites from families with more limited education, and less financially advantaged blacks from the same background. Drawing heavily on the voices of these freshmen, Aries chronicles what they learned from racial and class diversity—and what colleges might do to help their students learn more.

Dreaming in Hindi: Coming Awake in Another LanguageDreaming in Hindi: Coming Awake in Another Language

An eye-opening and courageous memoir that explores what learning a new language can teach us about distant worlds and, ultimately, ourselves.

 

After miraculously surviving a serious illness, Katherine Rich found herself at an impasse in her career as a magazine editor. She spontaneously accepted a freelance writing assignment to go to India, where she found herself thunderstruck by the place and the language, and before she knew it she was on her way to Udaipur, a city in the northwestern state of Rajasthan, in order to learn Hindi. Rich documents her experiences—ranging from the bizarre to the frightening to the unexpectedly exhilarating—using Hindi as the lens through which she is given a new perspective not only on India, but on the radical way the country and the language itself were changing her. Fascinated by the process, she went on to interview linguistics experts around the world, reporting back from the frontlines of the science wars on what happens in the brain when we learn a new language. She brings both of these experiences together seamlessly in Dreaming in Hindi, a remarkably unique and thoughtful account of self-discovery.

Dreaming in Hindi: Coming Awake in Another LanguageDreaming in Hindi: Coming Awake in Another LanguageAt a time when her life seemed to be crumbling, Katherine Russell Rich took on a writing assignment in India, where she was seduced by the idea of learning to speak Hindi, the language she heard swirling all around her. In a rash moment, she determined she’d go live and study in the ancient city of Udaipur. That decision lead to unexpected reclamation.  In this beautiful and spirited memoir, she documents her experiences, from the bizarre to the frightening to the full-out exhilarating. Seamlessly combining her courageous (and often hilarious) personal journey with reporting on the science of language acquisition, Dreaming in Hindi offers an eye-opening account of what learning a new tongue can teach us about distant worlds and, ultimately, about ourselves.

Sketches from My Past: Encounters with India's Oppressed (Hindi Edition)This is a translation of Mahadevi Varma's 'Ateet Ke Chalchitra' by Neera Kuckreja Sohoni. Includes case studies with poor Indians, mostly women.
Mahadevi Varma: Political Essays on Women, Culture, and NationMahadevi Varma: Political Essays on Women, Culture, and NationThis edited volume of translations covers the major political essays of India's first feminist Hindi poet. A devout follower and advocate of Gandhi, Mahadevi Varma is a household name in India and is a major woman of letters in the modern Hindi world. The essays collected in this volume represent some of Mahadevi Varma’s most famous writings on the “woman question” in India. The collection also includes an introduction to her life, with biographical notes, an analysis of her importance in the field of Hindi letters, as well as a selection of her poems – these latter because Mahadevi Varma made her mark in the world of Hindi literature through her poetry, and a volume of translations would be incomplete without a sampling of them. The introduction to the translated volume sketches Mahadevi Varma's life and work and her significance to both the development of modern standard Hindi as well as to the nascent women's movement underway in the 1920s in India. Little scholarly attention has been given in the academy outside of India to Varma’s numerous contributions to women’s education, to the development of modern standard Hindi, and to political thought during the Independence movement in late-colonial India. This volume of translations engages themes like language and nationalism, women’s roles as artists, the politics of motherhood and marriage—themes that continue to be relevant to women’s lives in contemporary India and to movements for women’s rights outside India as well. This volume of translations of Mahadevi Varma’s feminist political essays is the first of its kind. While some of these essays, especially those from Mahadevi Varma’s Hamari Shrinkhala Ki Kariyan collection have been translated by Neera K. Sohoni and published under the title Links in the Chain (Katha, 2003), there is no sustained treatment of Varma’s political thinking in one, accessible volume. While there is ample work on Varma in Hindi, scholars of feminism (and students of Hindi who are in the nascent stages of language acquisition) have nowhere to turn for a comprehensive sampling of her work. Mahadevi Varma is also one of the most difficult writers to access even for trained scholars of Hindi language and literature. Her highly Sanskritized diction and her stylized prose sketches make her work a pleasure to read in the original but daunting to translate into English. This volume has contributions from some of the most highly regarded Hindi experts. In the editor’s introduction to the volume of translations a brief biographical sketch followed by an analysis of the political climate of Northern India has been provided so that the reader unfamiliar with India of the 1920s-1940s will have the necessary historical context to place her work. The introduction to the volume also raises the issue of why she gave up writing poetry and turned solely to writing prose when she became involved with the movements for women’s rights and national independence. Finally, the volume provides feminist cultural historians a rich archive of how Indian women like Mahadevi Varma were actively negotiating their lives as women, activists, artists, teachers, and married women. This work will be of use to scholars of Hindi language and literature in the US/European academy and should be of interest to cultural and feminist historians of modern India. This volume will introduce Mahadevi Varma’s literary scope to an English-speaking audience, and will serve as a reference for feminist historians of the nationalist period in the Indian subcontinent.
Poetry, Politics and Culture: Essays on Indian Texts and ContextsPoetry, Politics and Culture: Essays on Indian Texts and Contexts

This book maps the journey of the Indian poetic imagination—in Hindi, Panjabi and Indian English—from its original quasi-spiritual longings to its activist interventions in the public domain. As Indian poetry of the post-1990s gravitates towards a non-Orientalised postcolonial nationalism, it seeks to rewrite and disseminate the shifting coordinates of nationalist imagination in terms of the dissent of the subaltern discontents of the nation.

The book is interdisciplinary: it studies Indian poetry from the new emerging imperatives of postcolonialism, new historiography (subaltern, dalit and diasporas), nationalism, and cultural studies. Covering the two major north Indian languages—Hindi and Punjabi—along with poetry in Indian English, the book is a close textual study of about 150 poetry collections in these languages. It is path-breaking in its study of secular poetry written in the so-called vernaculars, with critical attention to its participation in the political as well as cultural processes of nation-making.

This cutting-edge book should be of interest to scholars of Indian writings in English, Hindi and Panjabi, gender studies, dalit and diaspora studies, postcolonial poetry and to students reading South Asian literature and culture.
Language Versus Dialect: Linguistic and Literary Essays on Hindi, Tamil and SarnamiIndia has a multiplicity of languages and dialects. Papers in this volume present a variegated overview of the problem relative to two great literary languages,Hindi(including Sarnami) and Tamil. From a methodological point of view they represent a description of different linguistic and literacy aspects and problems.

Arindam Chaudhuri (interview) : the Last Lear

Posted on 08 September 2009. Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hindi Hub Articles


“Amitabh suited the role of the ageing theatre actor perfectly. I don’t think anyone would have fitted the bill so well. He is so eccentric, performs so brilliantly and the way he speaks English is so impeccable and clear. I feel he is the crowning glory of the film.”

“The Last Lear”, directed by award-winning filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh, highlights the different acting skills required for theatre and cinema.

Based on Utpal Dutt’s play “Aajker Shahjahan”, the film also stars Preity Zinta, Arjun Rampal, Shefali Shah and Divya Dutta. It is slated for a Sep 12 release.

Besides Amitabh, Chaudhuri is also all praise for director Ghosh, who has earlier made critically acclaimed films like “Chokher Bali” and “Raincoat”.

He said: “Rituparno Ghosh creates magic out of relationship based cinema. I don’t think anyone would have treated the script the way he has done it.”

The producer currently has no plans to release this Rs.8.5 million film in Hindi and feels it is meant for a niche audience.

“This film is in English and anyone who understands the language can enjoy it. It imparts undertones of various messages and talks in particular of the conflict between theatre and cinema.

“I love watching a film like ‘Om Shanti Om’, but I know there are better people who are making such masala and romantic films. Now more intelligent and meaningful stories need to be told. Even ‘Mithya’ was such a film,” he said.

The producer says that he intentionally delayed the film’s release in India. “The Last Lear” was ready for release last year and was screened at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI).

“‘The Last Lear’ is a niche film and so it was required to be shown internationally before being brought it to India. It has already travelled to film festivals in Toronto, Rome and London.

“When we thought of releasing the film around the summer vacations this year, the IPL (Indian Premier League) matches were on and there were also a lot of big films packed till now. We wanted to release it at a decent time when there won’t be many commercial films to compete with,” explained Chaudhuri, who is also a management guru.

The theatrical trailers of “The Last Lear” were added to Akshay Kumar-starrer “Singh Is Kinng”, which has created waves at the box office.

” ‘Singh Is Kinng’ has turned out to be a huge success. I think it will also help our film as seeing a trailer in a theatre is very different from seeing it on TV. The theatrical trailer definitely has more impact and also generates more curiosity in the audience,” he said.

“The Last Lear”, shot in Kolkata, Mussoorie and Uttarakhand, will be distributed by PVR across all multiplexes,” Chaudhuri added.

She spontaneously accepted a freelance writing assignment to go to India, where she found herself thunderstruck by the place and the language, and before she knew it she was on her way to Udaipur, a city in the northwestern state of Rajasthan, in order to learn Hindi. Rich documents her experiences—ranging from the bizarre to the frightening to the unexpectedly exhilarating—using Hindi as the lens through which she is given a new perspective not only on India, but on the radical way the country and the language itself were changing her. Fascinated by the process, she went on to interview linguistics experts around the world, reporting back from the frontlines of the science wars on what happens in the brain when we learn a new language. She brings both of these experiences together seamlessly in Dreaming in Hindi, a remarkably unique and thoughtful account of self-discovery.

Dreaming in Hindi: Coming Awake in Another LanguageDreaming in Hindi: Coming Awake in Another LanguageAt a time when her life seemed to be crumbling, Katherine Russell Rich took on a writing assignment in India, where she was seduced by the idea of learning to speak Hindi, the language she heard swirling all around her. In a rash moment, she determined she’d go live and study in the ancient city of Udaipur. That decision lead to unexpected reclamation.  In this beautiful and spirited memoir, she documents her experiences, from the bizarre to the frightening to the full-out exhilarating. Seamlessly combining her courageous (and often hilarious) personal journey with reporting on the science of language acquisition, Dreaming in Hindi offers an eye-opening account of what learning a new tongue can teach us about distant worlds and, ultimately, about ourselves.

Sketches from My Past: Encounters with India's Oppressed (Hindi Edition)This is a translation of Mahadevi Varma's 'Ateet Ke Chalchitra' by Neera Kuckreja Sohoni. Includes case studies with poor Indians, mostly women.
Mahadevi Varma: Political Essays on Women, Culture, and NationMahadevi Varma: Political Essays on Women, Culture, and NationThis edited volume of translations covers the major political essays of India's first feminist Hindi poet. A devout follower and advocate of Gandhi, Mahadevi Varma is a household name in India and is a major woman of letters in the modern Hindi world. The essays collected in this volume represent some of Mahadevi Varma’s most famous writings on the “woman question” in India. The collection also includes an introduction to her life, with biographical notes, an analysis of her importance in the field of Hindi letters, as well as a selection of her poems – these latter because Mahadevi Varma made her mark in the world of Hindi literature through her poetry, and a volume of translations would be incomplete without a sampling of them. The introduction to the translated volume sketches Mahadevi Varma's life and work and her significance to both the development of modern standard Hindi as well as to the nascent women's movement underway in the 1920s in India. Little scholarly attention has been given in the academy outside of India to Varma’s numerous contributions to women’s education, to the development of modern standard Hindi, and to political thought during the Independence movement in late-colonial India. This volume of translations engages themes like language and nationalism, women’s roles as artists, the politics of motherhood and marriage—themes that continue to be relevant to women’s lives in contemporary India and to movements for women’s rights outside India as well. This volume of translations of Mahadevi Varma’s feminist political essays is the first of its kind. While some of these essays, especially those from Mahadevi Varma’s Hamari Shrinkhala Ki Kariyan collection have been translated by Neera K. Sohoni and published under the title Links in the Chain (Katha, 2003), there is no sustained treatment of Varma’s political thinking in one, accessible volume. While there is ample work on Varma in Hindi, scholars of feminism (and students of Hindi who are in the nascent stages of language acquisition) have nowhere to turn for a comprehensive sampling of her work. Mahadevi Varma is also one of the most difficult writers to access even for trained scholars of Hindi language and literature. Her highly Sanskritized diction and her stylized prose sketches make her work a pleasure to read in the original but daunting to translate into English. This volume has contributions from some of the most highly regarded Hindi experts. In the editor’s introduction to the volume of translations a brief biographical sketch followed by an analysis of the political climate of Northern India has been provided so that the reader unfamiliar with India of the 1920s-1940s will have the necessary historical context to place her work. The introduction to the volume also raises the issue of why she gave up writing poetry and turned solely to writing prose when she became involved with the movements for women’s rights and national independence. Finally, the volume provides feminist cultural historians a rich archive of how Indian women like Mahadevi Varma were actively negotiating their lives as women, activists, artists, teachers, and married women. This work will be of use to scholars of Hindi language and literature in the US/European academy and should be of interest to cultural and feminist historians of modern India. This volume will introduce Mahadevi Varma’s literary scope to an English-speaking audience, and will serve as a reference for feminist historians of the nationalist period in the Indian subcontinent.
Poetry, Politics and Culture: Essays on Indian Texts and ContextsPoetry, Politics and Culture: Essays on Indian Texts and Contexts

This book maps the journey of the Indian poetic imagination—in Hindi, Panjabi and Indian English—from its original quasi-spiritual longings to its activist interventions in the public domain. As Indian poetry of the post-1990s gravitates towards a non-Orientalised postcolonial nationalism, it seeks to rewrite and disseminate the shifting coordinates of nationalist imagination in terms of the dissent of the subaltern discontents of the nation.

The book is interdisciplinary: it studies Indian poetry from the new emerging imperatives of postcolonialism, new historiography (subaltern, dalit and diasporas), nationalism, and cultural studies. Covering the two major north Indian languages—Hindi and Punjabi—along with poetry in Indian English, the book is a close textual study of about 150 poetry collections in these languages. It is path-breaking in its study of secular poetry written in the so-called vernaculars, with critical attention to its participation in the political as well as cultural processes of nation-making.

This cutting-edge book should be of interest to scholars of Indian writings in English, Hindi and Panjabi, gender studies, dalit and diaspora studies, postcolonial poetry and to students reading South Asian literature and culture.

The Journey of Film in Southall

Posted on 08 September 2009. Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hindi Hub Articles


Shooting “The Winter of Love” (formally ‘A Quiet Desperation’) in Southall was paramount to its manifestation.

Without Southall – the film would be meaningless. It was not just the question of the story being played out in the streets of Southall – but enmeshed in it was my long standing relationship with the town.

My connection with films in Southall goes back to the heady days of the three cinema’s on South Road, leading up to the Green starting with Liberty Cinema, with Century in the middle and the Dominion Cinema towards the end. Our journeys to these cinemas were with our parents – larger than life images of Hindi film stars; great movies such as Sholay, Hanste Zakham, and Amar Akbar Anthony played havoc on our imaginations as children. Southall like many small Asian communities throughout Britain created a hub and buzz around Hindi Cinema and made it popular outside of India and brought it to its present day success in Britain and generally in the West – a success that British Asians should be given a full credit for.

With the demise of the cinemas and the rise of video’s that collective viewing soon disappeared along with the closures of the three cinemas – the Dominion Cinema was bought by the Indian Workers Association who renamed it The Dominion Centre. An act of pure charity, the cinema was bought by the IWA with a view that the centre would be funded by the local council and service the entire community regardless of race or gender. As part of the purchase, the IWA in their wisdom demolished a state of the art building and replaced with a monstrosity designed by what can only be described as a creatively deprived architect who created a building without a heart and soul as well as acoustics! But the users and the people of Southall embraced the building as their own and now it operates as the only secular community building in Southall.

Many creative individuals since have emerged from Southall. A key inspirational figure in making a marking on the film and theatre scene was Harwant Bains. And film for a brief moment seemed to have returned to Southall. His ‘Wild West’, shot in 1992 caused a stir amongst the local community as well as nationally. The story is set in Southall where a young Pakistani sees himself as a cowboy and has ambitions of fronting a country and western music band – his dream is to go to Nashville. A zany caper, ‘Wild West’ gave many of us inspiration to create and produce our own films.

Since then a number of documentaries have appeared on television covering various issues around Southall; “A Fearful Silence”, about the work of Southall Black Sisters on domestic violence in Asian communities produced by Azad Productions; Acting our age directed by Gurinder Chadha and a powerful and moving search by Melanie Sykes for a sense of belonging in her Melanie Sykes Southall Stories directed by Fatima Salaria.

Deeply inspirational, Southall has been an example to British Asian communities through out the British Isles and many communities in Europe. My decision to shoot and locate ‘The Winter of Love’ (formally ‘A Quiet Desperation’) in Southall stems directly from a sense of deep belonging to a place that has influenced and shaped my outlook on life.

Southall means many things to many people. Acting as a town near a point of entry Heathrow it has traditionally sheltered all immigrants coming into its borders; Jewish refuges from the second world war; West Indian settlers from the Windrush; Pakistani and Indian settlers in the 50’s and 60’s; Ugandan Asian’s escaping Idi Amin’s regime along with Kenyan’s and Asians and most recently Somalian’s.

Southall’s ability to absorb a diversity of life is a testament to its openness and embracing nature. Perhaps we will see many more stories coming from Southall with a Somalian; Polish, Jewish or Irish slant nestled within universal themes.

Visiting Bill Cooke & Terry Tkachuk website, the Southall Film Studios History Project confirmed its place in the creative history of British film making.

The Bhagavad Gita (Penguin Classics)The Bhagavad Gita (Penguin Classics)The eighteen chapters of The Bhagavad Gita (c. 500 b.c.), the glory of Sanskrit literature, encompass the whole spiritual struggle of a human soul. Its three central themes-love, light, and life-arise from the symphonic vision of God in all things and of all things in God.

Introduction by Simon Brodbeck
The New Sciences of Religion: Exploring Spirituality from the Outside In and Bottom UpThe New Sciences of Religion: Exploring Spirituality from the Outside In and Bottom Up

The New Sciences of Religion is a critical analysis of new scientific research on religious and spiritual phenomena. William Grassie takes a two-staged phenomenological approach working from the “outside in” and the “bottom up” without privileging at the outset any religious traditions or philosophical assumptions. Using insights from economics, evolutionary psychology, the neurosciences, and medicine, Grassie develops a complex and multifaceted understanding of religion as potentially functional and dysfunctional in specific contexts, differentially so for individuals and groups. The New Sciences of Religion then asks what in religion and spirituality might also be true and profound when our received traditions are reinterpreted in light of contemporary sciences. In contrast to the New Atheists, Grassie argues for a concept of God-by-whatever-name that is fully compatible with contemporary science and the reinterpretation of traditional religions. In the end, there is no grand unified theory of religion and none of the many scientific explanations of religion preclude that religions have intuited, experienced, and discovered true and profound insights into the nature of ultimate reality and human existence. This is an original and compelling scientific interpretation of religion and also a religious interpretation of science that will challenge and delight students and scholars alike.
Revolt! The Next Great Transformation from Kleptocracy Capitalism to Libertarian Socialism through Counter Ideology, Societal Education, & Direct ActionRevolt! The Next Great Transformation from Kleptocracy Capitalism to Libertarian Socialism through Counter Ideology, Societal Education, & Direct ActionChampioning counter ideology, societal education, and direct action professor Asimakopoulos develops a theory to action model for working class movement building toward societies based on self-organization and self-direction. Revolt! begins with an analysis of the 2008 economic collapse showing how neoliberal globalization is intensifying capitalism's contradictions resulting in perpetual crises affecting workers. By looking at the labor and civil rights movements it then demonstrates meaningful working class gains were obtained through high levels of class conflict made possible by radical leaders and ideology, class-consciousness and solidarity through societal education, and even rebellion. Now, argues professor Asimakopoulos, social justice can only be achieved through a new movement which, short of the immediate overthrow of capitalism, can obtain with direct action specific working class victories that will set in motion evolutionary radical change. One strategic proposal is demanding corporate boards of directors only include community and labor representatives. Revolt! will be of most interest to workers, activists, college students, and scholars, as well as anyone interested in the practical side of radical anarchism, Marxism, and social movements.

Race and Class Matters at an Elite CollegeRace and Class Matters at an Elite College

In Race and Class Matters at an Elite College, Elizabeth Aries provides a rare glimpse into the challenges faced by black and white college students from widely different class backgrounds as they come to live together as freshmen. Based on an intensive study Aries conducted with 58 students at Amherst College during the 2005-2006 academic year, this book offers a uniquely personal look at the day-to-day thoughts and feelings of students as they experience racial and economic diversity firsthand, some for the first time.

Through online questionnaires and face-to-face interviews, Aries followed four groups of students throughout their first year of college: affluent whites, affluent blacks, less financially advantaged whites from families with more limited education, and less financially advantaged blacks from the same background. Drawing heavily on the voices of these freshmen, Aries chronicles what they learned from racial and class diversity—and what colleges might do to help their students learn more.

Mohandas the movie- A Kafkaesque tale of corruption and trafficking in India

Hindi Hub Articles


Mazhar kamran, the renowned cinematographer who is infamous for his radical ideas as SATYA has teamed up with Vertika Films, in his directorial debut, to present you ‘MOHANDAS- A man lost in his own nation’. It is a Kafkaesque tale of the plight of Indian people struck in between the corruption and trafficking plagued in the entire nation. MOHANDAS the movie is a warning that the essence of humanism is not crushed out by the macabre forces of technological progress- as described by eminent Hindi poet of India, Kunwar Narain. It is a classic cinema with a bold political theme all molded flawlessly in the traditional Indian style cinematography with dance, drama and songs.

MOHANDAS the movie

Beyond the glitz and shines of the metros: exists a world where you can be sure of nothing! Nakul Vaid as Mohandas beautifully portrays the real life plight of a man who is robbed away of his own identity and is thrown away. He fights back against the gruesome world for proving his actual identity in front of the entire nation. Whereas Kasturi- Sharbani Mukherji is seen standing strong behind her husband Mohandas as a pillar of support during the time of crisis. Sonali Kulkarni as Meghna Sengupta is the key to solving the mystery of identity crisis of Mohandas. Being a strong headed woman who believes in following her own instincts in pursuit of her objectives, she doggly runs behind the trail of answers to solve this nerve wrecking puzzle of life of common man in between total corruption and crime. Along with her in this mission of justice is Harshvardhan Soni- Aditya Srivastava who is the fiery committed lawyer and a fighter till the end whose heart burns for desire of justice and forces him to pursuit the truth at all cost.

Mohandas the movie- parts and parcels of the contemporary cinema

Portrayed in the backgrounds of the typical rural base of India, Mohandas the movie drags you to the actual location so that you feel yourself face to face with the common man who struggles from morning to night against simply everything to live a decent life on the basis of truth and genuineness. With a creative and ideal team comprising some of the veterans of Indian cinema who have dedicated their entire lives and carriers towards portraying the creative themes- so real, that they always make a mark in the heart of the Indian audience “Mohandas” has already made marked acclamations in the various film festivals worldwide. The movie as a whole has a very strong theme, all soaked in the lives of common man of India living in between the patches of crime, politics, hatred, cheat, rising prices and personal problems above all. It is releasing in India in 17th of April. Go watch the movie to join hands and souls against this never ending fight of all against all evils.

Juliette Torrez’ Poetry Channel & Information Network lived at About.com Poetry from November 1997 through March 1999, archived on the Web site with live links. When the Poetry Channel went dead in 1999, Poetry Guides Bob Holman and Margery Snyder put together a new network of correspondents from every part of the U.S. and around the world and created its successor, the About.com Poetry Museletter.

Every week for four years, Museletter brought news of local poetry scenes from our correspondents, announcements and notes submitted by our readers, poetry articles from all over the About.com network, and highlights of new feature stories at the About.com Poetry Web site to our subscribers’ emailboxes. Our correspondents’ guides to local poetry performance venues, profiles of poets in their areas, and interviews with local movers and shakers on the poetry scene were archived at About.com Poetry with live links that made those pages the best reference for traveling poets and poetry lovers seeking readings, poets or publications in a new place. But by the end of 2003, most of our original Museletter correspondents had moved on to other writing projects, having pretty well covered the poetry-reporting possibilities in their local regions.

Too many of the links in those old newsletters have died over the course of the years since then—so many that we found it impossible to maintain the archives, and we made the difficult decision to close them. You can still keep up with what’s going on in the poetry world and at About.com Poetry by signing up for our weekly email newsletter (no longer called “Museletter”—now it’s simply called the Poetry newsletter from About.com), but the old newsletters are no longer archived on the site. If you want to browse through past postings of poetry news, we’d suggest you visit our blog archives.

The introduction to the translated volume sketches Mahadevi Varma's life and work and her significance to both the development of modern standard Hindi as well as to the nascent women's movement underway in the 1920s in India. Little scholarly attention has been given in the academy outside of India to Varma’s numerous contributions to women’s education, to the development of modern standard Hindi, and to political thought during the Independence movement in late-colonial India. This volume of translations engages themes like language and nationalism, women’s roles as artists, the politics of motherhood and marriage—themes that continue to be relevant to women’s lives in contemporary India and to movements for women’s rights outside India as well. This volume of translations of Mahadevi Varma’s feminist political essays is the first of its kind. While some of these essays, especially those from Mahadevi Varma’s Hamari Shrinkhala Ki Kariyan collection have been translated by Neera K. Sohoni and published under the title Links in the Chain (Katha, 2003), there is no sustained treatment of Varma’s political thinking in one, accessible volume. While there is ample work on Varma in Hindi, scholars of feminism (and students of Hindi who are in the nascent stages of language acquisition) have nowhere to turn for a comprehensive sampling of her work. Mahadevi Varma is also one of the most difficult writers to access even for trained scholars of Hindi language and literature. Her highly Sanskritized diction and her stylized prose sketches make her work a pleasure to read in the original but daunting to translate into English. This volume has contributions from some of the most highly regarded Hindi experts. In the editor’s introduction to the volume of translations a brief biographical sketch followed by an analysis of the political climate of Northern India has been provided so that the reader unfamiliar with India of the 1920s-1940s will have the necessary historical context to place her work. The introduction to the volume also raises the issue of why she gave up writing poetry and turned solely to writing prose when she became involved with the movements for women’s rights and national independence. Finally, the volume provides feminist cultural historians a rich archive of how Indian women like Mahadevi Varma were actively negotiating their lives as women, activists, artists, teachers, and married women. This work will be of use to scholars of Hindi language and literature in the US/European academy and should be of interest to cultural and feminist historians of modern India. This volume will introduce Mahadevi Varma’s literary scope to an English-speaking audience, and will serve as a reference for feminist historians of the nationalist period in the Indian subcontinent.
Poetry, Politics and Culture: Essays on Indian Texts and ContextsPoetry, Politics and Culture: Essays on Indian Texts and Contexts

This book maps the journey of the Indian poetic imagination—in Hindi, Panjabi and Indian English—from its original quasi-spiritual longings to its activist interventions in the public domain. As Indian poetry of the post-1990s gravitates towards a non-Orientalised postcolonial nationalism, it seeks to rewrite and disseminate the shifting coordinates of nationalist imagination in terms of the dissent of the subaltern discontents of the nation.

The book is interdisciplinary: it studies Indian poetry from the new emerging imperatives of postcolonialism, new historiography (subaltern, dalit and diasporas), nationalism, and cultural studies. Covering the two major north Indian languages—Hindi and Punjabi—along with poetry in Indian English, the book is a close textual study of about 150 poetry collections in these languages. It is path-breaking in its study of secular poetry written in the so-called vernaculars, with critical attention to its participation in the political as well as cultural processes of nation-making.

This cutting-edge book should be of interest to scholars of Indian writings in English, Hindi and Panjabi, gender studies, dalit and diaspora studies, postcolonial poetry and to students reading South Asian literature and culture.

Patiala-Punjab-India-147003.

I adjusted myself ?

It is on record that my school record had got mention in so many registers maintained by he school and even the district administration had given so many certificates and testimonials. Some news papers had given reports that in spite of all the hurdles in my way, I could make my positions. And similar had been my record in college and then in the training institute from where I completed my B.Ed. and then M.Ed. I had got interest in teaching and even my parents realized that I have got my aptitude in teaching, they tried that I should get the line in which I was interested.

It was obligatory for me to shift from the house of my parents to the house of my in laws and therefore, my parents were also preparing me for the house of my in laws and they had been telling me that I shall not be getting the same atmosphere in that house and there are chances that they all may not recognize my qualifications, my achievements and my further desires and they may ask me to work at the house like a domestic servant. Even some of my friends who had been married were not having a good experience of the house of their in laws and they had been telling me that the people in the house of their in laws are not realizing that they are educated girls and therefore, she must be given due place in the house. They told me that the people in the house of in laws are not giving any respect nor they realize that their brides are also like their own daughters.

I myself had seen so many Hindi films and I had noted that the mother in law in each house is the first lady to create all the troubles. She had got her own place and position in the house and she would not like that another lady should come and may take the place which had been occupied by this old lady. She does not want that the love and affection which had been available to her should be divided or shared by some one else. Similarly the sisters in law are also not willing to see that their own brother may be having attraction and devotion towards a new comer in the house. Similar had been the position in each film where the brides already present would not tolerate that some new comer may have a better place in the house. They are protecting their own rights and positions which they could attain because of their own struggle and suffering.

All these situations were very strange for me, but this was a reality of life that every Indian girl shall have to face, because after marriage, it is compulsory here that the bride should join the house of her husband and should spend the remaining part of her life there. I could also understand that after marriage, this house of her parents shall become a strange house for her and she may come here as a guest for some days, but none in the house shall like or tolerate that she may stay here permanently.

I had got relations with so many boys, but none could attain the status of my ‘boy friend’. I was desiring a boy who should be from our religion, from our caste, from our known people, and I was also desiring that the boy should be having proper education, proper training and proper adjustment at work from where he is carrying proper income which he should be able to establish a family and may be able to carry on further responsibilities in life. I wanted to create and establish love affairs, but I did not because, I had got a fear in my mind that ultimately the will of my parents shall function and therefore, the boy should be of their liking and not of my liking.

My friends had been suggesting me some of their relatives and even Meena suggested the name of her own brother who had done MBA and was with an established organization having income in four figures. But I could not like him and I still do not know why I could not like him. From amongst my boy friends, one Rajesh was very near to me and once he had suggested for marriage too. I could not give him suitable answer, because he was not from our caste. The people at my house were not willing to have relations with those who had been declared as backward class by the state itself. I had not got such restrictions, but as I have already stated, I was not in a position to say ‘no’ to my parents.

I was lucky enough when my parents searched a boy who was in the army having the rank of captain. When I utilized my own resources, I came to know that the boy in question had been with me in my college for a year and during this period he had been having some relations with me. When we met to have a talk on the subject, we both met as friends and all present were surprised to note our old relations and contacts. I told that the boy is Rohit and he had been with me in college in the last year of graduation and we both had been having tuition with one lecturer in the subject of Chemistry. Parents from both the sides were happy to note that the new would be couple have relations and they shall be having no difficulty in life.

I informed Rajesh and he tolerated all this because he was having all information about his own caste and about my caste and came out with a conclusion that this relation shall be good and better for me. He wished me good luck and after that date, he never came near to me nor I ever tried to meet him.

On my marriage, the parents of my husband were demanding some dowry, but my husband Rohit was against this dowry system and therefore, he declared that the marriage shall be simple and there shall be no transfer of dowry from the side of my parents. This was a very simple marriage and all present were happy to note this change and all were appreciating my husband Rohit and his parents who accepted the command of their son and did not demand dowry.

In the house I found that Rohit had got one elder brother and one younger brother. The elder brother rattan Chand was running a confectionery shop and was married having one small son. The younger brother Mohit was in college in T.D.C.III year. He had got one sister Meenakshi who was married at another station. My mother in law Parbati was about sixty years and my father in law Khushhal Chan had already retired as Tehsildar. So the family was well set up. I did not care what was in the mind of my mother in law. But she had accepted me without dowry, I had got great respect and regard for this lady. I came to know that she was a graduate from Punjab University and was in service prior to her marriage. I started creating friendship with this old lady because she was the centre around whom the whole family was functioning. I had been showing her all my certificates and testimonials. I had been telling her all my achievements while in school, in college and while in the training institute. I told her that my parents had been handing over all their earnings to me and I had been running the house. I told her that I had been teaching all my younger brothers and sisters at my house and we never engaged a tuition for them. And actually I stated giving tuition to the son of my brother in law. Wife of my brother in law was happy that her son could get a teacher at the house. I started serving all the three elders. I had been taking all care of my mother in law, my father in law, my brother in law and the younger brother in law could come to me and discuss his problems in the college and in his study work.

My sister in law had been with us for some days and now she had gone back to her own in laws. As and when she came here, I started creating friendship with her. I had been taking her to the market and to all her friends whom she wanted to meet. We had been having some purchases and I never forgot that all in her family should get one item each. Once my sister in law said,” Bhabiji, why you are so sweet?” My simple reply was,” You all are very sweet. You all are having all love and regard for me. I am feeling that I am living in my own parents’ house. My father in law is like my own father and he is taking complete care and is always looking at my face noticing that I am happy and I have got no trouble.” My sister in law was not having such days with her in laws, but she wanted to keep his troubles far away from me. Somehow I could initiate talks with her,” Every bride is not lucky like myself. I am thankful to God who selected for me such a family. Your people present in the house have taken me as their own daughter and that is the reason I could adjust myself here without any difficulty. I am nobody to advise your. But still I should tell you something to act upon. You should try to come close to each one and you should make it sure that you would never make a complaint about the behaviour of any one in the house with you. You should start appreciating each one and when your husband comes back from his work place, you should allow him to have talks with his mother, with his father or with any member with whom he wants to have a talk. You should never try to establish that this man who was their man yesterday has become your man and now this man has got no concern with any member in the family. Such a course is the main cause of all the disturbances in the joint family system/” I noticed that my sister in law was listening to all what I had said and I also noticed that she had accepted my advice.

This time I wanted to accompany my sister in law, when she was going back to the house of her in laws. I stayed with her for two days and I noticed her mother in law, her father in law, her brother in law and sister in law, all were happy with me and they thanked me that I had brought back their bride. They offered me so many things when I was coming back and her mother in law passed the last remarks, “ I think you belong to a very good family. I hope you would turn this family like one as your family is. I hope this Meenakshi shall learn a lesson from you and she would remain with us like a permanent member of this family.”

When I was back at my home, all were happy. All received me with open hands and my mother in law took me in her arms and had been giving sweet kisses to me for at least five minutes and then said,” The people who could get a daughter in law like you are the most lucky people. The problems which we had been facing for the last three years has been solved by you.”

My husband was proud of me and said,” For the first time in my life I could see a girl who can act like men in the family. I had got one worry in my mind and now I can believe that my wife shall be solving all the problems attached with my sister. We had been suffering for the last three years because my sister Meenakshi was not well and now we are receiving phone calls from her and she is happy there.” He took me in his arms and we both had been in our bed room and had been having pleasant talks which we never had shared before.

My father in law and my elder brother in law both were happy with me and they decided to give me a new entry in the house and we celebrated new welcome for me on that day. I was given a cake to cut on that date and we all were present to celebrate this occasion. My father in law had a special phone to my father and remained talking to him for five minutes and whatever he said, gave booster to me and such words had been giving me courage to live on and help this family. In fact, I do not know that I belong to another family.

The Bhagavad Gita (Penguin Classics)The Bhagavad Gita (Penguin Classics)The eighteen chapters of The Bhagavad Gita (c. 500 b.c.), the glory of Sanskrit literature, encompass the whole spiritual struggle of a human soul. Its three central themes-love, light, and life-arise from the symphonic vision of God in all things and of all things in God.

Introduction by Simon Brodbeck
The New Sciences of Religion: Exploring Spirituality from the Outside In and Bottom UpThe New Sciences of Religion: Exploring Spirituality from the Outside In and Bottom Up

The New Sciences of Religion is a critical analysis of new scientific research on religious and spiritual phenomena. William Grassie takes a two-staged phenomenological approach working from the “outside in” and the “bottom up” without privileging at the outset any religious traditions or philosophical assumptions. Using insights from economics, evolutionary psychology, the neurosciences, and medicine, Grassie develops a complex and multifaceted understanding of religion as potentially functional and dysfunctional in specific contexts, differentially so for individuals and groups. The New Sciences of Religion then asks what in religion and spirituality might also be true and profound when our received traditions are reinterpreted in light of contemporary sciences. In contrast to the New Atheists, Grassie argues for a concept of God-by-whatever-name that is fully compatible with contemporary science and the reinterpretation of traditional religions. In the end, there is no grand unified theory of religion and none of the many scientific explanations of religion preclude that religions have intuited, experienced, and discovered true and profound insights into the nature of ultimate reality and human existence. This is an original and compelling scientific interpretation of religion and also a religious interpretation of science that will challenge and delight students and scholars alike.
Revolt! The Next Great Transformation from Kleptocracy Capitalism to Libertarian Socialism through Counter Ideology, Societal Education, & Direct ActionRevolt! The Next Great Transformation from Kleptocracy Capitalism to Libertarian Socialism through Counter Ideology, Societal Education, & Direct ActionChampioning counter ideology, societal education, and direct action professor Asimakopoulos develops a theory to action model for working class movement building toward societies based on self-organization and self-direction. Revolt! begins with an analysis of the 2008 economic collapse showing how neoliberal globalization is intensifying capitalism's contradictions resulting in perpetual crises affecting workers. By looking at the labor and civil rights movements it then demonstrates meaningful working class gains were obtained through high levels of class conflict made possible by radical leaders and ideology, class-consciousness and solidarity through societal education, and even rebellion. Now, argues professor Asimakopoulos, social justice can only be achieved through a new movement which, short of the immediate overthrow of capitalism, can obtain with direct action specific working class victories that will set in motion evolutionary radical change. One strategic proposal is demanding corporate boards of directors only include community and labor representatives. Revolt! will be of most interest to workers, activists, college students, and scholars, as well as anyone interested in the practical side of radical anarchism, Marxism, and social movements.

Race and Class Matters at an Elite CollegeRace and Class Matters at an Elite College

In Race and Class Matters at an Elite College, Elizabeth Aries provides a rare glimpse into the challenges faced by black and white college students from widely different class backgrounds as they come to live together as freshmen. Based on an intensive study Aries conducted with 58 students at Amherst College during the 2005-2006 academic year, this book offers a uniquely personal look at the day-to-day thoughts and feelings of students as they experience racial and economic diversity firsthand, some for the first time.

Through online questionnaires and face-to-face interviews, Aries followed four groups of students throughout their first year of college: affluent whites, affluent blacks, less financially advantaged whites from families with more limited education, and less financially advantaged blacks from the same background. Drawing heavily on the voices of these freshmen, Aries chronicles what they learned from racial and class diversity—and what colleges might do to help their students learn more.

North and South India Tours – An Ultimate Tour Experiance

Posted on 08 September 2009. Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hindi Hub Articles


According to the current estimates tourism represents 6.5 percent of the global workforce, employing 112 million people throughout the world. It plays a major role in the global economy and represents a significant global gross national product (GNP). Tourism is a highly fragmented industry with many different participants including tour operators, the transport and hotel industry, and of course, the tourists themselves. At the start of the 90’s decade, several trends were observed at the global level. According to the report of the World Tourism Organisation,1990, Asia/Oceania was expected to receive more international tourists than any other region in the world. At the same time tourists were diversifying into highly specialised groups from among a broad range of activities. Increased interest in travel to natural and less disturbed areas due to a rapidly growing interest in environmental matters and nature was perceived as one of the trends. This was expected to result in an increased interest in Asia and tropical America, areas which still contained large tracts of wilderness (WWF-UK, 1992).

Although in India tourism has been a part of the country’s ethos for a long time, it had predominantly been restricted to religious, archeological and recreational sites. Nature tourism, predominantly in the form of shooting and hunting trips, has gradually given way to photographic and nature oriented tours. Today, in the parks, sanctuaries and unprotected wilderness of India, nature based tourism has increased in scope, and is understood to, include nature trails, trekking , mountaineering, rock climbing , safaris, adventure sports and bird watching , in addition to photography expeditions. Most of these activities take place in forest and mountain terrain rich in wildlife and local ambience.

Such nature based tourism has either been species oriented or ecosystem oriented. Species oriented tourism in India has been confined to a few flagship species such as the tiger, which draws tourists to parks that are its natural habitat; or the Siberian crane, which is a major draw for tourists to the well-known Keoladeo National Park. In fact, most of India’s popular parks and sanctuaries are the natural habitat for one or another flagship species. The problem here is that if the flagship species is not sighted often enough, tourist flow may stem. Its dependence on a single species thus makes species oriented tourism rather precarious.

About one sixth of all the human beings on Earth live in India, the world’s most populous democracy. Its borders encompass a vast variety of peoples, practicing most of the world’s major religions, speaking scores of different languages, and divided into thousands of socially exclusive castes. A civilized, urban society has existed in India for well over 4,000 years, and there have been periods when its culture was as brilliant and creative as any in history. The country is also known by its ancient Hindi name, Bharat.

India’s leaders have played a prominent role in world affairs since the country became independent in 1947. Nevertheless, the standard of living of most of its citizens is low. The huge population strains the nation’s limited resources. Fertile, cultivable land is scarce, yet about two thirds of the people depend directly on agriculture for their livelihood. Many millions of Indians are inadequately nourished, poorly housed, and lacking in basic educational, medical, and sanitary services.

Although the modern nation of India encompasses the greater part of South Asia, it is smaller than the Indian Empire formerly ruled by Britain. Burma (now Myanmar), a mainly Buddhist country lying to the east, was administratively detached from India in 1937. Ten years later, when Britain granted independence to the peoples of the Indian subcontinent, two regions with Muslim majorities a large one in the northwest (West Pakistan) and a smaller one in the northeast (East Pakistan) were partitioned from the predominantly Hindu areas and became the separate nation of Pakistan. East Pakistan broke away from Pakistan in 1971 to form the independent nation of Bangladesh. Also bordering India on its long northern frontier are the People’s Republic of China and the relatively small kingdoms of Nepal and Bhutan. The island republic of Sri Lanka lies just off India’s southern tip. India’s capital is New Delhi.

Learn HindiLearn HindiHindi belongs to the Indo-European family, Indic branche of the Indo-Iranian group.Hindi is the most widely spoken language of the Republic of India, centered principally in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh in the north-central part of the country. Its 275 million speakers rank it as one of the leading languages of the world but it is, nevertheless, understood by only about one third of India's population. When independence was achieved in 1947, Hindi was chosen as one of India's national language.
Like most of the languages of northern India, Hindi is a direct descendant of Sanskrit. It has been influenced and enriched by Dravidian,Turkish, Farsi, Arabic, Portuguese and English. Hindi and Urdu, the official language of Pakistan, are virtually the same language, though the former is written in the Sanskrit characters and the latter in the Perso-Arabic script. Pure Hindi derives most of its vocabulary from Sanskrit, while Urdu contains many words from Persian and Arabic. The basis of both languages is actually Hindustani, the colloquial form of speech that served as the lingua franca of much of India for more than four centuries. Hindi was originally a variety of Hindustani spoken in the area of New Delhi. Its development into a national language had its beginnings in the colonial period, when the British began to cultivate it as a standard among government officials. Later it was used for literary purposes and has since then become the vehicle for prose and poetry.

It especially in the countries like India and Thailand are facing worst problems of negligence and lack of awareness. Because of poverty and ignorance, children are becoming more prone to physical and psychological disorders “children growing up in chronic poverty. There are more likely than other children to experience physical impairments (e.g., low birth weight or “stunting”), cognitive delays and lower IQ, diminished school achievement and higher dropout rates, heightened risk of delinquency, and a greater likelihood of unintended teenage childbearing. The literature on adolescent development is both voluminous and troubling” quoted by (Amato & Booth, 1997 & J. Brian Brown, & Daniel T. Lichter, 2005). Moreover, many of them physically stunted, suffer psychologically from undue family pressures and abuses and are neglected at home, hence, “parenting factors have consistently been related to problematic adolescent behavior too” reported by (Frick, Christian, & Wootton, 1999; Rose, Glaser, Calhoun, & Bates, 2004).

Thus, as they tend to develop low self-esteem from poor families, broken families, and single-headed households, as a result by (Bianchi, 1999; Lichter, 1997), “that, a large share of young adults grew up in single-parent families, with step-parents, or with other co-residential adults”. Moreover, they live in slums and squatter communities, sub-human conditions. Some of there are susceptible to crime syndicates and gang conflicts, substance/drug abuse, and gambling, that is should given the importance of educational adjustment is widely considered an important goal, these experiences have often been linked to problematic adolescent development and a variety of negative adult outcomes”, (Duncan & Brooks-Gunn, 1999 and Guo & Harris, 2000).

Hence, a large number of young adolescents are showing the symptoms of physical and psychological deviation. Such adolescents who profess difficulties in educational and cultural adjustment are at a disadvantaged status and experience school adjustment problems. The individual experiences an upsurge of psychological changes, emotional upheavals and behavioral deviations. It has been reported, Levels of academic achievement during adolescence and educational attainment later in life are strong predictors of a variety of indicators of well-being in adulthood. Including, but not limited to, indicators of economic functioning such as socioeconomic status and income and for instance, adolescents who achieve academically are more likely to graduate from high school and to attend college. Further, academic and cognitive achievement, as indicated by test scores, is predictive of adult wages. Higher educated people are found to be healthier and report to have higher levels of socio-emotional well-being, family-level outcomes, such as marital disruption, and outcomes of children, such as academic and cognitive skills, are predicted by the level of education completed by individuals, (Blau and Kahn, 2000; Zakia Redd, Jennifer Brooks, Ayelish M. McGarvey, 2001).

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The study was conducted with the objective of investigating the extent of educational adjustment and problems associated with achievement of disadvantaged adolescents in India and Thailand.

The psychological changes were then used to explore the demographic variables associated with education adjustment. Following statistical techniques were applied in the present project: Paired Samples “T”-test and “F”-test.

FINDINGS

The profiles of the 250 Northern Indian and Thai respondent questionnaires are analyzed to find out the relationship between demographic characteristics of the sample population. It was found that Thai boys (56%) have scored more than Indian boys (54.40%) and Indian girls (45.60%) more than Thai girls (44%) have. In the same age group of 15 years old, and the same of Standard: 9 (India) and Thai from the secondary school (Grades 3), is shown in Table 1.

Learn HindiLearn HindiHindi belongs to the Indo-European family, Indic branche of the Indo-Iranian group.Hindi is the most widely spoken language of the Republic of India, centered principally in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh in the north-central part of the country. Its 275 million speakers rank it as one of the leading languages of the world but it is, nevertheless, understood by only about one third of India's population. When independence was achieved in 1947, Hindi was chosen as one of India's national language.
Like most of the languages of northern India, Hindi is a direct descendant of Sanskrit. It has been influenced and enriched by Dravidian,Turkish, Farsi, Arabic, Portuguese and English. Hindi and Urdu, the official language of Pakistan, are virtually the same language, though the former is written in the Sanskrit characters and the latter in the Perso-Arabic script. Pure Hindi derives most of its vocabulary from Sanskrit, while Urdu contains many words from Persian and Arabic. The basis of both languages is actually Hindustani, the colloquial form of speech that served as the lingua franca of much of India for more than four centuries. Hindi was originally a variety of Hindustani spoken in the area of New Delhi. Its development into a national language had its beginnings in the colonial period, when the British began to cultivate it as a standard among government officials. Later it was used for literary purposes and has since then become the vehicle for prose and poetry.

Short Story-reputation of a Woman

Posted on 08 September 2009. Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Reputation of a woman

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

When I was a child, my mother had been telling me that a woman should keep herself neat and clean and she must earn a good reputation. She also told me that once a woman loses her reputation, she would not be able to re-earn that reputation once again and she would be branded a bad woman around the society in which she is living. She further told me that a woman must marry so that she should get a man to protect her and if her husband dies, she must try to have another man or she should return to the house of her own parents or should live with her sons and she must get their protection. She told me that the men living around the woman are not good people and they shall always be ready to destroy her reputation. Therefore, a woman must try to see that she is not exposed to men.

I had been hearing such speeches from the side of my mother and even my grand mother confirmed these teachings. I had been in school, then in college and I remained in the University for about four years. I joined there as a research scholar and had been doing Ph.D. there. I had been associated with so many boys and some of them were very close to me. Here I could understand the real meaning of the speeches my mother had been delivering to me. I noted that some of the boys were trying to come near to me and when they were near to me they started suggesting to me that we should go out and stay in some hotel for a few days. They were offering that they shall be meeting all the expenses and they shall be keeping everything secret and none shall know about this tour. At this stage I could recall all what my mother had been telling me. If I actually leave the station with some boy and remain absent from the house for some days, the people in the house, her mother, her father, her brothers and sisters shall not tolerate all this and my sisters in law shall be exposing me before the neighbours and even they shall be communicating all these happenings to their parents. And once all this shall come out, I shall be losing all respect and honour in the society in which I live.

In spite of all this I was having a desire in my mind that I should go with one of my boy friends and enjoy life. I was considering myself a modern girl and therefore, I wanted to ignore all the honour of my family and my parents.

I had been seeing Hindi films in which boys and girls had been meeting each other and had been having *** and then the girl had been turning pregnant and then she had been deciding that she would give birth to the child and shall not conduct abortion. But my friend Suneeta was not accepting all my suggestions and she had been telling me, “ It is very easy to look at a Hindi Film and see the girl suffering. But it is very difficult to live such a life. Your father is the Superintending Engineer in the Public Works department, your brother is the District Treasury Officer, your sisters in law are teachers and your mother is still the principal of a higher secondary school. They people have their own status in the society around them and therefore, they shall not be at ease when they shall hear that their daughter had been absent from the house for a few days and had been roaming with a boy at Shimla. So many people from this town shall be present at Shimla and so many people shall be recognizing you and then shall be spreading the whole news to the people who were not present at Shimla. Therefore, you may be modern, but you should not venture on these paths because our society is not so advanced.”

I was not happy with my friend Suneeta and therefore, I ignored her advice. I was reading a news paper in which there had been a news about a divorce. When I read the news, it was about one of my class fellows Ranjana. She had been with a boy friend out of the station for some days and turned pregnant. When she approached that boy to have marriage with her, he had said, “ I shall not marry a pregnant girl. What the people would say. You are a girl and you should be clean. If you could not keep your reputation intact, you are no more member of this respected society. People would not be happy to see that I have married a pregnant girl.” It was in the news paper that she approached the Court and even the court could not direct the boy to have marriage with that girl. Her counsel had suggested that she can claim damages from the boy and when the child is out, he or she would be in a position to get maintenance and the child shall also be eligible to get share in the properties left by the father of the child. This was the news in the paper which brought a clear picture in my mind and therefore, I got that paper and went straight to the boy who was very eager to take me to a hill station and said, “ If at all you are very much interested in me, you should arrange your marriage with me and only then we shall be able to visit a hill station all alone. Otherwise, I would not take such a risk.” On this his simple reply was, “ I was having in my mind only enjoyment which every young man wants at this stage. Marriage is a different question which needs so many aspects to be examined and I am not in a position to decide finally about my marriage.” And this answer from the side of the boy was enough for me to confirm what my mother had been telling me .

Introduction by Simon Brodbeck
The New Sciences of Religion: Exploring Spirituality from the Outside In and Bottom UpThe New Sciences of Religion: Exploring Spirituality from the Outside In and Bottom Up

The New Sciences of Religion is a critical analysis of new scientific research on religious and spiritual phenomena. William Grassie takes a two-staged phenomenological approach working from the “outside in” and the “bottom up” without privileging at the outset any religious traditions or philosophical assumptions. Using insights from economics, evolutionary psychology, the neurosciences, and medicine, Grassie develops a complex and multifaceted understanding of religion as potentially functional and dysfunctional in specific contexts, differentially so for individuals and groups. The New Sciences of Religion then asks what in religion and spirituality might also be true and profound when our received traditions are reinterpreted in light of contemporary sciences. In contrast to the New Atheists, Grassie argues for a concept of God-by-whatever-name that is fully compatible with contemporary science and the reinterpretation of traditional religions. In the end, there is no grand unified theory of religion and none of the many scientific explanations of religion preclude that religions have intuited, experienced, and discovered true and profound insights into the nature of ultimate reality and human existence. This is an original and compelling scientific interpretation of religion and also a religious interpretation of science that will challenge and delight students and scholars alike.
Revolt! The Next Great Transformation from Kleptocracy Capitalism to Libertarian Socialism through Counter Ideology, Societal Education, & Direct ActionRevolt! The Next Great Transformation from Kleptocracy Capitalism to Libertarian Socialism through Counter Ideology, Societal Education, & Direct ActionChampioning counter ideology, societal education, and direct action professor Asimakopoulos develops a theory to action model for working class movement building toward societies based on self-organization and self-direction. Revolt! begins with an analysis of the 2008 economic collapse showing how neoliberal globalization is intensifying capitalism's contradictions resulting in perpetual crises affecting workers. By looking at the labor and civil rights movements it then demonstrates meaningful working class gains were obtained through high levels of class conflict made possible by radical leaders and ideology, class-consciousness and solidarity through societal education, and even rebellion. Now, argues professor Asimakopoulos, social justice can only be achieved through a new movement which, short of the immediate overthrow of capitalism, can obtain with direct action specific working class victories that will set in motion evolutionary radical change. One strategic proposal is demanding corporate boards of directors only include community and labor representatives. Revolt! will be of most interest to workers, activists, college students, and scholars, as well as anyone interested in the practical side of radical anarchism, Marxism, and social movements.

Race and Class Matters at an Elite CollegeRace and Class Matters at an Elite College

In Race and Class Matters at an Elite College, Elizabeth Aries provides a rare glimpse into the challenges faced by black and white college students from widely different class backgrounds as they come to live together as freshmen. Based on an intensive study Aries conducted with 58 students at Amherst College during the 2005-2006 academic year, this book offers a uniquely personal look at the day-to-day thoughts and feelings of students as they experience racial and economic diversity firsthand, some for the first time.

Through online questionnaires and face-to-face interviews, Aries followed four groups of students throughout their first year of college: affluent whites, affluent blacks, less financially advantaged whites from families with more limited education, and less financially advantaged blacks from the same background. Drawing heavily on the voices of these freshmen, Aries chronicles what they learned from racial and class diversity—and what colleges might do to help their students learn more.

Remember the particular scene from the Hindi movie Munnabhai M.B.B.S (2003), where the Japanese tourist was demanding to see poor and hungry people, whom he would have liked to click on his camera. May be that Japanese tourist was not able to locate them, but for any one coming to or anyone living in India the sight of poor, destitute people is a common sight. Near every religious place, traffic signals, roadside stalls etc. one can see destitute people, especially poor children, either begging or peddling small stuffs. Sometimes one wonders how this is possible. Isn’t the economic prosperity, as reported, percolating down social ladder? Probably our economy is still not married to our society which would have led to the welfare of entire nation and not just of few people who are benefiting from the economic boom. But whatever is the reason or circumstance, a society needs to come up with solution to alleviate the problems of those who are not fortunate enough.

Have anyone noticed the rising number of poor children running about begging, peddling stuffs, working at construction sites or roadside stalls. Why so many children in India meet such fate? Isn’t our government is working and spending enough on child development programs. There are pure economic factors that decide the fate of the children coming from poor families, especially those who are below-the –poverty-line. Like the recent inflation is also forcing the poor parents to take the child out of the school and put them to work, so that little more money could be earned to make the both the ends meet. The children of such families are the most deprived because they are not offered any opportunity to choose about what they have to do.

The state administration as well as the society needs to design child development programs and work for welfare of poor children. The administration is working towards that goal, but in a country like India with over a billion populations, need for social service is required to a greater extent.

Education is the key for future success. If the drop-out rate of students from schools keeps increasing, it would be bad for the future the country. So there is urgent need for setting-up more education societies that would provide free education and other facilities like food, clothes, medicine to the children coming from poor families, so that their families don’t feel the burden of their education. Along with education if some vocational training is provided, these children can have a decent living after their education is complete or they can simultaneously work if the skills that they will develop as result of the provided training. Thus school will sound lucrative option to parents of the poor children to ensure a good future for their kids.

Keeping all these ideas in mind Baba Amar Singh Ji founded Guru Nanak Garib Niwaz Education Society in 2006 for the children of the poor. Here the children coming from poor families are provided free education, food, and study kits which include books, copy, and pen. They are also provided with free medical and transport facilities, and vocational training, thus providing the entire infrastructure needed for child development. The success of the school can be noticed by the rise in the number of students coming to enroll themselves. In 2006 there were just a dozen of students registered which have increased to over 300.

Guru Nanak Garib Niwaz Education Society is a charitable organization. It is an initiative of Nanaksar Thath Isher Darbar, a Global Charitable Organization, initiated by Baba Amar Singh Ji in 1972. Do contribute in this honest work of ours, to make this world a better place.

Learn HindiLearn HindiHindi belongs to the Indo-European family, Indic branche of the Indo-Iranian group.Hindi is the most widely spoken language of the Republic of India, centered principally in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh in the north-central part of the country. Its 275 million speakers rank it as one of the leading languages of the world but it is, nevertheless, understood by only about one third of India's population. When independence was achieved in 1947, Hindi was chosen as one of India's national language.
Like most of the languages of northern India, Hindi is a direct descendant of Sanskrit. It has been influenced and enriched by Dravidian,Turkish, Farsi, Arabic, Portuguese and English. Hindi and Urdu, the official language of Pakistan, are virtually the same language, though the former is written in the Sanskrit characters and the latter in the Perso-Arabic script. Pure Hindi derives most of its vocabulary from Sanskrit, while Urdu contains many words from Persian and Arabic. The basis of both languages is actually Hindustani, the colloquial form of speech that served as the lingua franca of much of India for more than four centuries. Hindi was originally a variety of Hindustani spoken in the area of New Delhi. Its development into a national language had its beginnings in the colonial period, when the British began to cultivate it as a standard among government officials. Later it was used for literary purposes and has since then become the vehicle for prose and poetry.
