Abstract:

AbstractThe decades from the 1940s to the 1960s were ones of increasing contacts between women of India and Australia. These were not built on a shared British colonial history, but on commitments to visions circulating globally of equality between races, sexes, and classes. Kapila Khandvala from Bombay and Lucy Woodcock from Sydney were two women who met during such campaigns. Interacting roughly on an equal footing, they were aware of each other's activism in the Second World War and the emerging Cold War. Khandvala and Woodcock both made major contributions to the women's movements of their

Abstract:

Abstract This essay explores two different ways by which ideas and “problems” of the “world,” “India,” “Indian literature,” and “world literature” were experienced, discussed, translated, imagined and remade in specific spaces like Bombay or journals such as The Indian PEN. I focus on one relatively formalized organization, the PEN All-India Centre, which was founded in Bombay in 1933 as the Indian branch of International PEN, and on a contemporary poet, Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, and the informal network of writers and artists close to him. Through the widely different agendas, practices, conce

Abstract:

An examination of the diverse patterns of women's migration challenges abiding stereotypes of Indian history: the urban worker as a male “peasant-proletariat” and women as inhabiting a timeless rural past. When men opted for circulation between town and country, wives and children undertook the actual labor of cultivation for the survival of “peasant-proletariat” households. Men retained their status as heads of the family and, even though absent for long periods, their proprietary interests in the village. Yet towards the end of the nineteenth century, many unhappy, deserted, and barren wives

AbstractNew finds of Indobatrachus pusillus (Owen, 1847) from the Bombay (India) region are described. Some hitherto unknown skeletal elements have been revealed which render more precise the systematic position of this species. Other recently described Indobatrachus species are shown to be synonyms of I. pusillus. The opinion of Noble (1930) and Lynch (1971) on the systematic position of Indobatrachus in the subfamily Myobatrachinae of the family Leptodactylidae is confirmed. New ideas on the paleogeography of the genus Indobatrachus and its probable spread from the supposed centre of origin

AbstractIn the last 15 years, India has witnessed the expression of a variety of new non-conformist religious practices performed by Muslim women. A range of vibrant campaigns has been pioneered by Muslim women's associations, asserting women's claims to hold and lead congregational prayers, enter and manage mosques, visit shrines, officiate Muslim marriages, and issue shari‘ah-based legal decisions. This article explores the twin questions of why these experimental remodellings of women's Islamic observance and leadership have been so pronounced in the Indian context compared with much of the

AbstractTextile manufacturing in India and the Ottoman Empire transformed fundamentally in the nineteenth century, when mass-produced goods imported from Europe permeated local markets. Faced with increasing competition from abroad, local producers changed their techniques, materials, designs, and target customers. At the same time, processing industries emerged in places with intense mercantile activity, introducing new meanings, relations, and patterns of work.

Abstract:

The inception of Women's Studies in India has a distinctive historical significance. The genesis of this phenomenon may be attributed not just to influential people but also to the historical context in which it emerged. The establishment of its site at the esteemed SNOT Women's University in Mumbai was spearheaded by Dr. Neera Desai, a distinguished Professor of Sociology at the institution above. The author's research on women's problems in her Master's thesis, together with her active participation in the women's movement, provided her with the necessary foundation to conceptualize the idea that a women's university should not only focus on teaching women various academic subjects but also participate in critical analysis of the status and experiences of women. The same objective drove the establishment of the Research Centre for Women's Studies in 1974 as the publication of the report on equality by the Government of India occurred one year later. An educationist first initiated the establishment of the institution. Shri Dhondo Keshav Karve was awarded a generous contribution by the businessman Shri Damodar Thackersey, resulting in the institution being christened SNDT Women's University in honour of his mother, ShrimathiNathibai Damodar Thackersey. This centre was established by capable and visionary executives at the university, who played a leading role in its growth. As a result, the centre has emerged as a prominent advocate for addressing women's concerns

Abstract:

This chapter examines the origins of a distinctive system of organizing military conquest in the final quarter of the eighteenth century. It seeks to de-centre the study of politics and military contestation by looking at the war against the Marathas (1778–82) from the vantage point of the region most directly affected by it—the western peninsular territory of the Bombay presidency. The advantage in shifting the focus away from the politically dominant Bengal presidency allows identification of a critical component in the political economy of conquest—the transfer of political authority from a civilian council to the commander of a military force. This shift in political power was essential to the success of the EIC regime of conquest even as it became a perennial source of conflict within the governing structures of the Company state. The debate and dissension that accompanied the deployment of military force both enabled the success of the machine of war and characterized the creation of a distinctive early colonial ideology of rule that subverted civilian control of the military.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the global governance of sexuality from the 1930s to the 1950s through a close textual reading of the discussions on female orgasms in the International Journal of Sexology (IJS), issued from Bombay between August 1947 and August 1955, with A. P. Pillay as editor in chief. The IJS featured views by contributors from India, Europe, and the United States about the “authenticity, normality, abnormality, of women's orgasms.” While some participants were sexual scientists, the public, especially women themselves, also shared their opinions in the form of letters and commentary. The chapter considers some of the issues addressed in the IJS in relation to female orgasm, including women's frigidity, pregnancy, female sterility, and miscarriage. It shows that the story of sexology was a global rather than an exclusively modern “Western” scientific enterprise.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the main eastern Ottoman province: the pashalik of Baghdad. Its capital city was the centre of road and river communications to the Persian Gulf, Persia, Syria, and Kurdistan, and a great Asian commercial mart. The chapter argues that no Ottoman town east of the Levant could match Baghdad's strategic, political, and economic importance. The chapter also assesses how British officials in Bombay valued the Gulf for its extensive trade, on which their revenues relied. It then introduces Samuel Manesty, son of a Liverpool slave trader, who became the dominant British figure in the Gulf by building extensive trade networks with Bombay. The chapter then jumps to recount the concerns of the Indian government in Calcutta about the region, especially the potential role of Persia in any European attack on India—by France or by Russia, which was manifestly extending its informal influence in northern Persia. Ultimately, the chapter considers the idea of possessing an island in the Gulf—Qishm, or Hormuz, or Kharaq further north, near Bushehr. Though this island strategy was always contentious, the underlying argument for a strong British naval presence in the Gulf was not.

Abstract The original MIT India Project team consisted of only three members: George Rosen, who was already working closely with the Reserve Bank in Bombay, and Trevor Swan and myself, who were established with an office in New Delhi. Our terms of reference agreed with the Government (that is, the Planning Commission) were very vague, but I think we were supposed to galvanize empir¬ical economic research in liaison with four existing institutions: the National Council of Applied Economic Research under Dr Lokanathan, the Economic Growth Centre of the Delhi School of Economics under V. K. R. V. Rao (both in Delhi), the Indian Statistical Institute in Calcutta under P. C. Mahalanobis, and the Gokhale Institute in Poona under Dr Gadgil. These terms of reference were totally unrealistic for reasons of time, distance, personality, and lack of any research material. Outside government there were almost no up-to-date figures for anything, and we had neither the time (Swan and I were in India for only nine months) nor the resources to create data. Nor was this what we were sup¬ posed to do.

Abstract:

Abstract In the summer of 1793 William Roxburgh was summoned to Calcutta to be considered for the post of the first salaried Superintendent of its botanical garden. The English flag had been hoisted over a small settlement on the banks of the River Hooghly in Bengal in 1690 and within a century Calcutta’s population had swollen to half a million. Its trade had outstripped the ports of the Coromandel coast and when Surat, once the dominant commercial centre of all India, was weakened by internal wars, its position became unassailable. The East India Company created a Georgian city on a former malarial swamp. The Victorians, admiring its broad roads fronting large mansions with classical facades, stuccoed and whitewashed, and set in smooth lawns with shrubberies and shadegiving trees, called it the City of Palaces. But it was also a city of contrasts: European elegance was surrounded by open drains, mud huts, and the stench and filth of narrow streets in crowded bazaars. Parliament’s Regulating Act of 1773 elevated the Governor of Bengal, Warren Hastings, to Governor-General with authority over the Presidencies of Madras and Bombay. Calcutta became the seat of the Government of British India and the location of the new Supreme Court of Judicature. It boasted theatres, an orchestra and choir that performed Handel’s Messiah to home-sick Britons, a race-course, and a learned society presided over by (Sir) William Jones (1746-94).

Abstract:

According to Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) data, the average employment for January 2019-March 2020 was 403 million, which declined to 282 million in April 2020 and recovered steadily thereafter to reach 393million by August 2020. In India, female labour force participation is abysmally poor and has declined over the years, despite a rise in education. The causes for this are complex and, aside from objective factors, include a whole variety of social and cultural aspects. One of the factors causing this is the social mentality of women becoming homemakers. Furthermore, the scarcity of schooling and work-oriented courses, the lack of mobility, and sexism in the workplace have been deterrents to women's access to the public workspace. Therefore, initiatives that aim to fix this void need to be holistic. Legislation alone is not enough, and to close this gap, all stakeholders should join hands. The chapter attempts to analyse facets of the gender gap in labour force participation and economic empowerment disruption through the pandemic.
