Book Synopsis Redefining the Immigrant South by : Uzma Quraishi
Download or read book Redefining the Immigrant South written by Uzma Quraishi and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early years of the Cold War, the United States mounted expansive public diplomacy programs in the Global South, including initiatives with the recently partitioned states of India and Pakistan. U.S. operations in these two countries became the second- and fourth-largest in the world, creating migration links that resulted in the emergence of American universities, such as the University of Houston, as immigration hubs for the highly selective, student-led South Asian migration stream starting in the 1950s. By the late twentieth century, Houston's South Asian community had become one of the most prosperous in the metropolitan area and one of the largest in the country. Mining archives and using new oral histories, Uzma Quraishi traces this pioneering community from its midcentury roots to the early twenty-first century, arguing that South Asian immigrants appealed to class conformity and endorsed the model minority myth to navigate the complexities of a shifting Sunbelt South. By examining Indian and Pakistani immigration to a major city transitioning out of Jim Crow, Quraishi reframes our understanding of twentieth-century migration, the changing character of the South, and the tangled politics of race, class, and ethnicity in the United States.

Download or read book Sustainable India written by Palash Tayal and published by Clever Fox Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embark on a journey into the future with "Sustainable India," a revolutionary blueprint that charts the course for India's transformation into a sustainable superpower in 50 years. In this pioneering work, the author unveils a novel strategy that places sustainability at the forefront of India's national objectives, ultimately leading to the creation of the world's first sustainable economy and ecosystem. Central to the book's proposal is the establishment of 130-150 equal high-rise, mixed-use blue-green cities as the linchpin of India's sustainability journey. The move enables large scale natural farming ( 100 Mha), dense forests over 55% of land area and an extensive network of rivers, lakes, and canals. It also triggers a reversal to natural products, materials, and supply chains while nurturing a culture of minimalism. Simultaneously, it lays the foundation for a green transportation system and revitalization of the countryside. As India urbanizes, the book envisions a systematic dissemination of family planning, progressive asset ownership, minimum wages, healthy work policies, and social security. The book provides detailed strategies and transformation plans for each sector within industrials, manufacturing and services. By reorienting towards sustainability, the author demonstrates how production requirements can be minimized, domestic enterprises can gain a competitive edge, and the power of the people can be harnessed. Furthermore, "Sustainable India" illuminates the path towards a future with sustainable energy balance. The transformation is meticulously outlined in four phases, detailing government investments, industrial consolidation and expansion, infrastructure development and relocation, changes in trade, employment and wages. Based on the bottom up interlinked country model, India emerges as an independent economy with a real GDP of $28 trillion (2020 prices) by 2075. A high quality of life becomes a reality for every citizen, and India stands in perfect harmony with its environment. The book presents the World's First Comprehensive and Empirical Model of Sustainability, defining the frontier of human knowledge & capabilities, altruism, health & environmental consciousness. The model has been developed using leading research, data and methodologies.

Book Synopsis Religion, Heritage and the Sustainable City by : Yamini Narayanan
Download or read book Religion, Heritage and the Sustainable City written by Yamini Narayanan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The speed and scale of urbanisation in India is unprecedented almost anywhere in the world and has tremendous global implications. The religious influence on the urban experience has resonances for all aspects of urban sustainability in India and yet it remains a blind spot while articulating sustainable urban policy. This book explores the historical and on-going influence of religion on urban planning, design, space utilisation, urban identities and communities. It argues that the conceptual and empirical approaches to planning sustainable cities in India need to be developed out of analytical concepts that define local sense of place and identity. Examining how Hindu religious heritage, beliefs and religiously influenced planning practices have impacted on sustainable urbanisation development in Jaipur and Indian cities in general, the book identifies the challenges and opportunities that ritualistic and belief resources pose for sustainability. It focuses on three key aspects: spatial segregation and ghettoisation; gender-inclusive urban development; and the nexus between religion, nature and urban development. This cutting-edge book is one of the first case studies linking Hindu religion, heritage, urban development, women and the environment in a way that responds to the realities of Indian cities. It opens up discussion on the nexus of religion and development, drawing out insightful policy implications for the sustainable urban planning of many cities in India and elsewhere in South Asia and the developing world.

Book Synopsis Sustainability and Resilience in the Indian Health System by : Oommen C Kurian
Download or read book Sustainability and Resilience in the Indian Health System written by Oommen C Kurian and published by Observer Research Foundation. This book was released on 2024-02-16 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light the importance of not only improving the resilience of health systems to crises but also of ensuring their long-term sustainability. The Partnership for Health System Sustainability and Resilience (PHSSR) was established in 2020 with the goal of building more sustainable and resilient health systems around the world. One of the key objectives of PHSSR is to build knowledge, understanding, and consensus on the dimensions of health system sustainability and resilience, and how they can be improved. To achieve this goal, PHSSR focuses on seven key domains: Governance: the wide range of steering and rule-making related functions carried out by governments and decision-makers as they seek to achieve national health policy objectives. Financing: how health systems generate, pool, and allocate financial resources and pay for health services. Workforce: how health systems plan for, train, recruit, reward, and deploy their workforce, and shape the conditions in which health professionals work. Medicines and Technology: how health systems make use of medicines and (information) technologies in the delivery of health services. Service Delivery: how health services are organised and delivered, including ambulatory and hospital care, and public health. Population Health: how health systems address the social determinants of health and meet the needs and demands of the population. Environmental Sustainability: how health systems prevent and minimise their carbon footprint and the impacts of pollution on the population’s health. By examining each of these domains, PHSSR seeks to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to health systems and to generate evidence-informed solutions and policy recommendations to improve sustainability and resilience.
