Rajas’ Journey (German Title: Rajas Reise)

by Karl Saurer

The film recounts the mysterious story of the Indian elephant Raja that journeyed through the forests of Kerala via Lisbon to Vienna in the year 1550. The reconnaissance trip made by Gandhi-activist P.V. Rajagopal on Raja’s route provokes surprising associations. The film reenacts the little elephant’s imprisonment, training and appearances at temple ceremonies – until he was ambushed as a status symbol by European rulers. It is a story of misappropriation that continues today.

The BRICS summit 2013 is scheduled to take place in Durban, South Africa on 26th and 27th March.

The BRICS grouping (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) helds annual summits since 2009, with member countries taking turns to host. Prior to South Africa’s admission, two BRIC summits were held, in 2009 and 2010.

The first five-member BRICS summit was held in 2011. The most recent summit took place in New Delhi, India, on March 29, 2012. (Wikipedia.org)

BRICS2013South Africa will host the fifth BRICS Summit from 26 to 27 March 2013 at the Durban International Convention Centre (ICC). This will complete the first cycle of BRICS summits.

These summits are convened to seek common ground on areas of importance for these major economies. Talks represent spheres of political and entrepreneurial coordination, in which member countries have identified several business opportunities, economic complementarities and areas of cooperation.

BRICS is an acronym for the powerful grouping of the world’s leading emerging economies, namely Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The first BRIC Summit took place in Yekateringburg, Russia, where the elected leaders of the four countries formally declared the membership of the BRIC economic bloc. South Africa joined the bloc in 2010, resulting in BRICS.

The BRICS mechanism aims to achieve peace, security, development and cooperation. It also seeks to contribute significantly to the development of humanity and establish a more equitable and fair world.

We remember the 91st birthday of writer, social activist and Rabindra Sangeet vocalist M. K. Binodini Devi (Febr 6, 1922 – Jan 17, 2011)

Posted by ElJay Arem (IMC OnAir) on February 6, 2013

Maharaj Kumari Binodini Dev Manipuri (source: indianetzone.com)

Maharaj Kumari Binodini Devi (February 6, 1922 – January 17, 2011) was an Indian writer from Manipur, a Southeast Himalayan state in North-east India and a member of the erstwhile royal family of Manipur. She was notable for bridging the two worlds of ancient royalty and modern art. Born as a princess into a palace life which she lovingly recalled in a series of late essays, she made her name in the wider world as a novelist and a writer of short stories, essays, plays and award-winning screenplays, lyrics and ballet scripts. She received the Padma Shri in 1976, one of India’s highest civilian awards, followed by Sahitya Akademi Awardgiven by Sahitya Akademi, India’s National Academy of letters) in 1979 for her novel Boro Saheb Ongbi Sanatombi (The Princess and the Political Agent) based on the true life story of a Manipuri princess, daughter of Maharaj Surchandra Singh. However, she returned the Padma Shri to protest the alleged rape and killing of Thangjam Manorama by 17 Assam Rifles personnel in 2004.

M. K. Binodini Devi wrote under the single name of Binodini. Her screenplays were made into award-winning feature films, directed by her long-time collaborator director Aribam Syam Sharma, such as My Son, My Precious, 1982; The Chosen One (1990), that have also been screened in the London Film Festival as well as the Museum of Modern Art, and Cannes, Toronto and Locarno Film Festivals. Her wildlife and environment themed script for a modern ballet was made into Sangai, Dancing Deer of Manipur, a performance film that won the British Film Institute’s Outstanding Film of the Year Award in 1984.

She died at 8.04 pm at her Yaiskul Police Lane residence in Imphal on January 17, 2011. She is survived by her two sons.

Arts and activism

In her writing and in her arts and social activism, M. K. Binodini is recognized as a pioneer of a non-doctrinaire thinking in Manipur that borrows little from conventional modernism and is rooted deeply in Manipur’s own traditions.

Although M. K. Binodini Devi is known best for her writing, she is an also an accomplished sculptor. While a student at Tagore’s Santiniketan, she became celebrated as the muse of the Indian sculptor and painter Ramkinkar Vaij. Portraits and sculptures of her by Vaij are in the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi.

Her vocal renditions of Rabindra Sangeet have aired over All India Radio. She is a Founder Member of Roop Raag, Manipur’s pre-eminent association of writers, poets, dancers, musicians and dramatists since 1960. This association paved the path of a lifelong immersion in the arts for her.

M.K. Binodini Devi served as the first Secretary of the Jawaharlal Nehru Manipur Dance Academy where she pioneered the incorporation of martial arts into the canon of classical Manipuri Dance and took the first all-Manipuri dance troupe on a tour of Latin America, North America and Europe in 1976.

She ignited environmental awareness in Manipur with Thoibidu Warou’houee, her 1972 essay on the state’s wetlands and wildlife. An elegy to the brow-antlered deer, the essay was the basis for her script for Thoibi (1972), an environmental ballet she wrote during the time she ran the Jawaharlal Nehru Manipuri Dance Academy. Other contemporary Manipuri Dance ballet scripts with an environmental message include Keibul Lamjao (1984) and Loktak Isei (1991) a ballet on the wetlands of Manipur. Her environmentalism often takes on an active aspect as with The Nong’goubi Project, a series of community actions taken in 2002 to clean up the Nambul River.

She has also held elected office as was a Member of the Legislative Assembly of Manipur and founded micro-financing for women in Manipur with the formation of Manipur’s first women’s cooperative bank in 1973.

Awards

M. K. Binodini Devi was honored with India’s National Book Award (the Sahitya Akademi Award given by Sahitya Akademi, India’s national arts and letters academy) in 1979 for her novel Boro Saheb Ongbi Sanatombi (The Princess and the Political Agent). The Sahitya Akademi also commissionedBinodini: A Writer’s Life (2001), a documentary film on her literary career, directed by Aribam Syam Sharma. In 2007, the Sahitya Akademi selected her for their Eminent Senior Writer Award.

Other awards include the Jamini Sunder Guha Gold Medal in 1966 by the Manipuri Sahitya Parishad for Nung’gairakta Chandramukhi, her collection of stories; and the 2002 Kumari Barooah Foundation Award for Culture.

In 1976 she was awarded the Padma Shri (India’s national honors list) by the President of India for her contribution to music, drama, dance, film and literature, She subsequently returned the award in 2001 in protest to India’s plans to alter Manipur’s historical boundaries.

The Funeral Ceremony…

M. K.Binodini Cremation and Ashes Retrieval Ceremony in Jan 2011…

The funeral pyre included a special construct called the keiren keijao in recognition of her status as the youngest daughter and princess born to Maharaja Churachand Singh and Maharani Dhanamanjuri Devi of Manipur.

For the Vaishnav Hindu ceremony called Asti, her older son retrieved her ashes and her younger son took it to the Palace Temple and to her residence in Yaiskul. The procession was led by polo ponies and a sankirtan pala (choir of classical Manipuri music). The contingent consisted of close friends and family and community members.

These two rituals precede the funeral in Manipuri tradition. The slideshow was based on photographs by Oinam Doren.

‘India needs to prioritise research infrastructure’

Posted by ElJay Arem (IMC OnAir) on January 25, 2013

FRIDAY, 25 JANUARY 2013 00:06 – NITINDRA BANDYOPADHYAY | CHANDIGARH

India needs to prioritise research infrastructure and improve the human resource and bring in policy changes in the field of medicinal research to make an impact at the global arena, said VM Katoch, Director General, Indian Council of Medical Reserch (ICMR).

Delivering a lecture on the topic “Creating and Strengthening Partnerships in Health Research” at the Institute of Microbial Technology on its foundation day here on Thursday, he said more than 60 per cent researches in India only exist on papers and are not implemented.

India is a success story when it comes to innovation and implementation but the impact of the same is not visible at the grassroots levels. India is still enslaved when it comes to health policies and its implementation. Joseph Bhore implemented the public health care architecture just before independence. But as a country we lack local agenda which is need of the hour, he said.

Katoch said, “Scientists have bloated egos, and the different organizations which are funding for research in India are more self centered. There are scientists who present their obsolete paper dating back to 1992 to get promotions which has pushed our country in a sorry state and has made it a subject of mockery in the west.”

The ICMR Director General said, emphasis should be laid on establishing regional, state and district level laboratory for a holistic development of medicinal research. “In last two years ICMR has funded 22 laboratories to diversify research on viral and infectious diseases in the country,” he added.

People in India is also hooked to the technologies from the west and the scientist are more into importing ideas than innovating something keeping in mind the local needs. Government and enlightened people within the civil society will have to work together for this kind of attitudinal changes. Inter sectoral cooperation and coordination between the various agencies is needed to facilitate it.

He added that our researches in medicinal and medical field should reach the market and once it happens market forces will drive the market and people will change their thinking about indigenous therapeutic products.”Instead of following the west and waiting for them to recognize our work we should start working for our country ,” he said.

History

Mahatma GandhiThough India became a free nation on August 15, 1947, it declared itself a Sovereign, Democratic and Republic state with the adoption of the Constitution on January 26, 1950.

A salute of 21 guns and the unfurling of the Indian National Flag by Dr. Rajendra Prasad heralded the historic birth of the Indian Republic on that day. Thereafter 26th of January was decreed a national holiday and was recognised as the Republic Day of India.

The Constitution gave the citizens of India the power to choose their own government and paved the way for democracy. Dr. Rajendra Prasad took oath as the first President of India at the Durbar Hall in Government House and this was followed by the Presidential drive along a five-mile route to the Irwin Stadium, where he unfurled the National Flag.

University Hamburg: 10th South Asia Day 2012 – 10. Südasientag 2012 (10th November)

Posted by ElJay Arem (IMC OnAir) on October 15, 2012

This year’s South Asia Day at the University of Hamburg is already the 10th in the series. Having established itself as a traditional yearly event, it offers Hamburg’s public the opportunity to gain information regarding not only the perspectives of South Asia but also regarding the increasing relevance of this dynamically developing region for Germany and Europe as a whole.

10. Südasientag an der Universität Hamburg

Termin: am Samstag, 10. November 2012, 13:00 bis 21:30 Uhr
Ort: Asien-Afrika-Institut der Universität Hamburg
Edmund-Siemers-Allee 1, Flügel Ost, 20146 Hamburg

Ob Energieversorgung, Klimawandel, Gewaltentrennung oder die Rolle der Mittelschicht – seit dem Jahr 2002 bietet der Südasientag an der Universität Hamburg der Öffentlichkeit die Möglichkeit, sich über wirtschaftliche, politische, soziale und kulturelle Perspektiven des Subkontinents und die für Deutschland und Europa wachsende Bedeutung dieser sich dynamisch entwickelnden Region zu informieren. Am 10. November 2012 begeht der Südasientag sein 10-jähriges Jubiläum. Es ist eine der Veranstaltungen des Indien-Jahres in Deutschland – Days of India in Germany -, mit denen das 60jährige Bestehen diplomatischer Beziehungen zwischen Deutschland und Indien gewürdigt wird. So ist auch Indien das Hauptland des 10. Südasien-Tages. Anlässlich des runden Datums organisiert der Arbeitskreis Neuzeitliches Südasien am Vortag, 9.November, und Vormittag 10. November eine akademische Tagung, deren Thema “Stadtentwicklung in Südasien” mit dem thematischen Schwerpunkt des 10. Südasien-Tages zusammenfällt. Im ersten Programmteil des 10. Südasien-Tages erörtern diplomatische Vertreter der Mitgliedstaaten der Südasiatischen Assoziation für Regionale Zusammenarbeit (SAARC) und Wissenschaftler in einer Podiumsdiskussion Probleme und Perspektiven der Stadtentwicklung auf dem Indischen Subkontinent, vor allem in den zu explodieren drohenden Mega-Cities. Das anschließende Programmteil beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung der Filmindustrie in den Ländern Südasiens. Den Besuchern südasiatische Spezialitäten angeboten und am Abend erwartet sie ein buntes Programm mit Tanz, Musik und Gesang.

Stadtentwicklung in Südasien

In keinem Teil der Welt wächst die Einwohnerzahl der Megastädte so schnell wie auf dem indischen Subkontinent. Droht eine soziale Katastrophe? Oder werden Empfehlungen des McKinsey-Berichts aus dem Jahre 2004 mit dem Ziel in die Wirklichkeit umgesetzt, das bisherige entwicklungspolitische Durchwursteln in der urbanen Entwicklung durch langfristige Planungen zu ersetzen, die eine urban verankerte Wirtschafts- und Bevölkerungszone entstehen lassen kann? Die Zentral- und Landesregierungen haben sich für die strukturierte Stadtentwicklung entschieden. Der Wettlauf mit der Zeit hat begonnen, sein Ausgang ist offen.

Die Perspektiven des weiteren Bevölkerungszuwachses sind besorgniserregend:

Land/Stadt: in 2000 und 2015
________________________________________
Dhaka/Bangladesch: 10,2 Mio. und 18,0 Mio.
Kolkata/Indien: 13,1 Mio. und 16,8 Mio.
New Delhi/Indien: 12,4 Mio. und 21,0 Mio.
Mumbai/Indien: 16,1 Mio. und 22,6 Mio.
Karachi/Pakistan: 10,0 Mio. und 16,2 Mio.

Zum Vergleich: In Indonesien wachsen die Megastädte in einem Zeitraum von fünfzehn Jahren um ein bis zwei Drittel der Bevölkerung. Demgegenüber registrieren wir in derselben Periode in China und Japan ein Wachstum in moderatem Tempo, z.B. Beijing von 10,8 auf 11 Millionen Bewohner und Tokyo von 34 auf 36 Millionen Bewohner. Das überdurchschnittliche Wachstum der Megastädte auf dem indischen Subkontinent geht auf die kontinuierlichen Wanderungsbewegungen aus den übervölkerten rückständigen, also stagnierenden Landstrichen in die urbanen Zentren zurück, die bald Heimstatt für die Hälfte der Bevölkerung sein werden. Die Umsetzung der Stadtplanung mit Satellitenzentren, Infrastruktur für Wasser, Strom, Verkehr, Gesundheit, Schule und Gewerbe/Industrie sowie umweltverträglicher Technologie kommt dem rasanten Zuwachs der Bevölkerung nicht nach. Immer noch droht der Kollaps. Komplizierte Naturbedingungen und lauernde Naturkatastrophen bedürfen besondere Baumaterialien und architektonische Qualitäten. Die internationale Studie “Mega-Cities and Global Change” vom April 2007 unterscheidet mit guten Gründen zwischen “armen” und “wohlhabenden” Mega-Cities – letztere zeichnen sich wie Tokyo durch eine angemessene eigene Produktionsbasis aus. Zukunftweisende Stadtplanung muss durch produktive ländliche Entwicklung ergänzt werden, um die gewaltigen Migrationsprozesse abzuschwächen. Die von Mahatma Gandhi ins Leben gerufenen Dorfbetriebe – “cottage industries” wiesen zu damaliger Zeit den Weg, reichen aber angesichts der zwischenzeitlichen Bevölkerungszunahme und Produktionswandel nicht aus. Neue Lösungen müssen gefunden und umgesetzt werden. Diplomatische Vertreter der am südasiatischen Staatenverband für regionale wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit beteiligten Staaten (SAARC) werden auf dem 10. Südasientag mit Wissenschaftlern die Überlebensfrage des Subkontinents und deren Bewältigung diskutieren.

Der Film in Südasien

Auf dem 10. Südasientag steht die beeindruckende und vielfältige Entwicklung der Filmindustrie auf dem Subkontinent, insbesondere von Bollywood, der größten filmproduzierenden Struktur der Welt auf der Tagesordnung. Die soziale Bedeutung des in mehr als einem Dutzend Sprachen des Subkontinents produzierten Films für den Zusammenhalt der Gesellschaft auf dem Subkontinent und ihre Entwicklung kann gar nicht hoch genug eingestuft werden. Die indische Filmproduktion geht auf den im Jahre 1912 und 1913 ur-aufgeführten Films “Raja Harishchandra” von Dhundiraj Govind Pahlke zurück. Die Filmindustrie hat wichtige, vielleicht entscheidende Impulse durch die im Jahre 1925 begonnene Zusammenarbeit mit dem Filmemacher Franz Osten von der Münchner Filmproduktionsgesellschaft Emelka sowie dem Rechtsanwalt und Hobbyschauspieler Himansu Rai erhalten, der auch in Bombay die ersten Filmstudios mit deutscher Technologie unter dem Firmennamen “Bombay Talkies” errichtete. Zum ersten Mal wurde 1937 ein indischer Film auf dem internationalen Filmfestival in Venedig gezeigt. Inzwischen ist der indische Film aus den Filmkinos in allen Teilen der Welt – auch im sogenannten Westen – nicht mehr weg zu denken. Sachverständige werden auf dem 10. Südasientag die kulturellen und künstlerischen Besonderheiten des Films in den SAARC-Ländern und seine Bedeutung für den Zusammenhalt der Gesellschaften, aber auch für die Verständigung zwischen den Völkern diskutieren.

Die Tagung “Stadtentwicklung in Südasien” findet am 9. November (Beginn 10:30 Uhr) und am 10. November 10:00 bis 12:00 Uhr statt.

RAUM am 09. November: Universität Hamburg, Excellenzcluster LiMA, Konferenzraum (R. 4028), Mittelweg 177, 20148 Hamburg, Eingang von Klein Fontenay, 4. Et.

RAUM am 10. November: Universität Hamburg, Asien-Afrika-Institut, Raum 222, Edmund-Siemers-Allee 1, Flügel Ost (rechts vom Universitätshauptgebäude )

Organisation: Abteilung für Kultur und Geschichte Indiens und Tibets in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Arbeitskreis Neuzeitliches Südasien, DGA, Koordinatorin: Prof. Dr. Tatiana Oranskaia.

Die Tagung wird gefördert durch den Deutschen Akademischen  Austauschdienst
