Abstract:

<em>Feminism in South Asian literature is a modern trend that portrays the status and life of women in a society of close cultures. Feminist literature analyzes the social hierarchies and gender norms and redefines the present space for women in both individual and social realms. The essay highlights the state, diversity and intricacies of feminist voices in select South Asian literature from the legendary times to the present. Feminism is deeply rooted in the socio-political and cultural contexts of any region. South Asian literature portrays the state of women from the cultural and political

Abstract:

At present, little is known about best practices in mental health for cisgender South Asian women in the United States who experience domestic violence. The authors will review the diversity of South Asian communities, describe the prevalence of domestic violence and its impact on mental health, and explicate the myriad systems that serve as facilitators and barriers in help seeking within neocolonial contexts in which South Asians are minoritized and othered. We have collated the scant literature and provided concrete recommendations for best practices focused on connections, collectives, and

Background Despite a growing elderly South Asian population, little is known about the experience of diagnosis and care for those living with dementia. There have been a number of individual qualitative studies exploring the experiences of South Asian people living with dementia and their carers across different contexts. There has also been a growing interest in synthesizing qualitative research to systematically integrate qualitative evidence from multiple studies to tell us more about a topic at a more abstract level than single studies alone.

South Asian literature, with its many languages, cultures, and histories, serves as a counter-discourse to prevailing narratives of colonialism, nationalism, and globalization.South Asian literary work explores identity, power, and resistance across multiple languages and genres.

The selected novels of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Amulya Malladi, Bharti Kirchner, V.V.

I reveal in the course of this study, how these works, actively negotiate alternative modalities of belonging that celebrate the plurality of cultural identities within and outside the homeland.

Abstract:

This dissertation is a history of the idea of travel in South Asia as it found expression in Urdu travel writing of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Though travel has always been integral to social life in South Asia, it was only during this period that it became an end in itself. The imagined virtues of travel hinged on two emergent beliefs: that travel was a requisite for inner growth, and that travel experience was transferable. Consequently, Urdu travel writers endorsed travel not to reach a particular destination but to engender personal development, social advancement and communal

This thesis explores how theories and practices of literary modernism developed in Bengali, Hindi, and Indian English in the early to mid-20th century, and explores the representations and debates surrounding literary moderni

Abstract:

This project delineates a cultural history of modern Hinduism in conversation with contemporary Indian literature. Its central focus is literary adaptations of the Sanskrit epic the Mahābhārata, in English, Hindi, and Bengali. Among Hindu religious texts, this epic has been most persistently reproduced in literary and popular discourses because its scale matches the grandeur of the Indian national imagining. Further, many epic adaptations explicitly invite devotion to the nation, often emboldening conservative Hindu nationalism. This interdisciplinary project draws its methodology from literar

Folk literature is integral to all languages. Verbal and nonverbal forms of folk literature are all pervasive. Verbal forms include proverbs, riddles, lullabies, tales, and ballads, among others.

By and large, folk literature in South Indian languages is performance-oriented, and music is an essential component of the same. The written form has a greater status than the oral presentation.

This rapid evidence review collates available evidence on whether battery-operated auto rickshaws in south Asia can run profitably on solar power. The evidence on this subject is nascent, context specific and influenced by a number of factors. Given the complexity of subject matter, a broad approach to addressing this query is adopted. This draws on a range of literature on the subject including: discussions of the nature of auto rickshaw vehicle fleets, technical papers exploring the design of battery powered auto rickshaws and case studies of the deployment of battery powered vehicles (inclu

Abstract:

This research and evidence paper fills a critical gap in understanding how spatial and relationship neighbourhood dynamics contribute to and perpetuate worst forms of child labour from children’s perspectives. Most existing literature related to children’s work focuses on the determinants of child labour and the prevalence of child labour in relation to economic factors and cultural factors. Until recently, there has been little exploration of the role that neighbourhood dynamics play in child labour. This paper, based on evidence collected during five years of the CLARISSA programme (Child La

Abstract:

East Asia and Latin America have diverged in several dimensions in the past three decades. This paper compares household saving behavior in two countries in each region (Mexico, Peru, Thailand and Taiwan). We make four contributions. First, we provide the first comparisons of savings in these two regions at the micro level using synthetic cohort techniques. Second, rather than focusing only on total household saving, as is common in the literature, we disaggregate the population into education groups to determine whether there are differences in saving behavior along the distribution of income

Abstract:

This rapid review focusses on whether there is international evidence on the role of non-partisan elections as a form of decentralised local government that improves performance of local government. The review provides examples of this from Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. There are two reported examples in Sub-Saharan Africa of non-partisan elections that delink candidates from political parties during election campaigns. The use of non-partisan elections to improve performance and democratic accountability at the level of government is not common, for example, in southern Africa all local

Abstract:

Over a period of time, a tier of mostly middle-income developing countries has developed a considerable pharmaceutical and vaccine production capacity. However, outcomes have not always been positive for domestic manufacturers in developing countries. Economic and health lessons learned from vaccine manufacturing in developing countries include challenges and positive spill-over effects. Evidence for this rapid review is taken from the south and southeast Asia (India, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam), and Latin America (Brazil, Cuba, Mexico). Although data on locally manufactured drugs on the bal

Abstract:

The current COVID-19 epidemic is both a health and societal issue; therefore, groups historically excluded and marginalised in terms of healthcare will suffer if COVID-19 vaccines, tests, and treatments are to be delivered equitably. This rapid review is exploring the social and cultural challenges related to the roll-out, distribution, and access of COVID-19 vaccines, tests, and treatments. It highlights how these challenges impact certain marginalised groups. Case studies are taken from sub-Saharan Africa (the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa), with some focus on South East Asia (I
