Book Synopsis Success Stories of Indo-Australians by : Harmohan Walia, 1st
Download or read book Success Stories of Indo-Australians written by Harmohan Walia, 1st and published by . This book was released on 2020-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success stories of Indo-Australians is the first major study of the post second world war migration from India to Australia. Although Indians have been travelling to Australia since Settlement anecdotal evidence suggests that they may have been arriving on Australian shores long before that time and DNA testing supports this circumstantial evidence.However, the British Navies, both military and civilian employed Indians called Lascars to work on their ships which visited Australia from the earliest of times. Indians also accompanied Army Officers and wealthy business people as domestics, these early Indian arrivals were followed in the 1860s by Indian Cameleers who serviced outback Australia. They were followed in the 1880s by Labourers, Indian Hawkers and Sugarcane Cutters, these migrations continued until the introduction of the Immigration Restriction Act 1901 known as the White Australia Policy which restricted the entry into Australia of people who were not of European descent. On the other hand, Indian Students entered Australia under the Colombo Plan from the 1950s onwards. The personal story of Dr Gurcharan Singh Sidhu elucidates his experience. Here 50 success stories will include the lives of some of the most prominent Indians who migrated to Australia since 1950.The main aims and objectives of writing this book are to present in a plausible, critical way the history of Indians who migrated to Australia since 1950. It will be a communicative learning process for future generations and will help them and others understand society and their place within it, so that they develop a sense of their culture, skills, contribution and presentation.You will read how India and Australia share much in common as vibrant, functioning, multicultural democracies. At the most fundamental level, Australia and India are both liberal democracies, which share a commitment to the rule of law, fundamental human rights and the peaceful resolution of disputes. As a result of British Colonisation, the relationship between the two countries was based on the three "C's" - Cricket, Curry and the Commonwealth and also in most cases the use of the English language.
Book Synopsis Indo-Australian Relations by : Phillip Darby
Download or read book Indo-Australian Relations written by Phillip Darby and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores a range of connections between India and Australia that fall outside the formal diplomacy of the two states. It examines how race, class and gender shape conceptions of the two nations, whose voices are heard and whose are not, and the politics that emerge from sport, culture, the drive for development as well as from language and the poetic. The book seeks to challenge the primacy of the state in determining the character of the nation and its monopoly of relations with other peoples. To this end, it looks to everyday life to find linkages not only between India and Australia but also extending through the South and Southeast Asian regions. This book was published as a special issue of Postcolonial Studies.

The nation's first female winemaker. These women were all trailblazers, but they have something else in common - every one of them was South Australian.

Now they can inspire a whole new generation.
Download or read book Feminism written by June Hannam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sheer number of publications on Feminism make it difficult for students who approach the subject for the first time to gain a sense of what the main issues and interpretations are. This book addresses this by offering students an overview of feminism and its history across several countries and time periods, along with an annotated guide to direct them in their further reading. Feminism by June Hannam provides comprehensive coverage right from how feminists began to write the history of their movement as early as the late nineteenth century to the impact feminism has had on higher education. The text also looks in depth at propaganda and the cult of the heroine in suffrage campaigning and how ‘first wave’ feminists constructed their own history which then affected future generations of historians, and activists.
Book Synopsis Buddhism in Australia by : Cristina Rocha
Download or read book Buddhism in Australia written by Cristina Rocha and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-12-07 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of Buddhists in Australia has grown dramatically in recent years. In 2006, Buddhists accounted for 2.1 per cent of Australia's population, almost doubling the 1996 figures, and making it the fastest growing religion in the country. This book analyses the arrival and localisation of Buddhism in Australia in the context of the globalisation of Buddhism. Australia's close geographical proximity to Asia has encouraged an intense flow of people, ideas, practices and commodities from its neighbouring countries, while at the same time allowing the development of the religion to be somewhat different to its growth in other Western countries. The book seeks to explore the Buddhist experience in Australia, looking at the similarities and particularities of this experience in relation to other Western countries. The inception of Buddhism in Australia is investigated, and a voice is provided to people on the ground who have been fundamental in making this process possible. For the first time, academic analysis and practitioners' experience are juxtaposed to show the adaptations and challenges of Buddhism in Australia from above and below. This book is a unique and valuable contribution to the study of Buddhism in the West, globalization of religion, and studies in Asian Religion.

Download or read book Maiden Innings written by Kapil Pathare and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2023-04-20 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women’s Cricket has come a long way, with many people still unaware of its progress. Primarily male-dominated in India, the game has often been associated with names like Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and off-late, the swashbuckling Virat Kohli. Amidst all this, the mantle of taking Indian women’s cricket forward has been quietly shouldered by a very committed team of young women who made it big on the international cricket scene by making it to the finals of the Women’s Cricket World Cup in 2017. The gusto with which the India eves brought India to the anvil victory, once again only reconfirms the growing, maturing capabilities of Indian women in an erstwhile male-dominated sport. Each woman in the team has a specific character that appears louder in their performance than in their personality while giving their best for the country. Most of them come from humble, poor backgrounds but with far much richer dreams to make their country proud. Their effort should not be looked upon merely as a performance but should be seen in the light of an excruciating struggle from a tender age to the highest level of the game. The book emphasizes displaying these strong characters as great role models for women in other sports, industries and even the least privileged section of society to follow and improve their lives.
Book Synopsis Education in Indonesia by : Daniel Suryadarma
Download or read book Education in Indonesia written by Daniel Suryadarma and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 2013 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Indonesia, as elsewhere in Asia, education will inevitably play a key role in the national development experience as the twenty-first century unfolds. Not much international attention is paid to how the education sector is faring in Indonesia, but that is not because nothing is happening. The past decade has seen major changes in the structure of the education system and in the schooling trajectories of Indonesian children and adolescents. The administration of primary and secondary education has been decentralized to the regions. A new paradigm of school-based management has been introduced. Public spending on education has finally reached one-fifth of total government spending, as required by law. But although enrolment rates at all levels continue to increase, the quality of education remains low and has not improved, and the tertiary sector continues to experience problems of autonomy and unsatisfactory performance.
Book Synopsis Impact of Christianity on Indian and Australian Societies by : Ashok Rathore
Download or read book Impact of Christianity on Indian and Australian Societies written by Ashok Rathore and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book by Professor (Dr.) Ashok Rathore compares influence of Christianity on Australian Dreamtime belief and Indian Hinduism (Sanatan Dharm) religion. This is innovative work of theology and sociology with mature understanding of Christianity in two Indian subcontinents and Australian continent. The author has worked in America, Australia, and the Philippines and interacted with people of various faiths and religions (Jews, Christians, freemasons, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Buddhists, Unitarians, atheists, and numerous movements). Being a skeptic, the author always asked this question: where and why do we differ and have different religions, and where do we converge? In the world, with over two billion Christians, why is Christianity so popular worldwide? Why does Christianity remained stagnant at 2.3 percent in India? Whereas Christianity arrived in Australia only 227 years ago from Britain and over 70 percent Aborigines were converted to Christianity. The book evince There is no relative superiority of one religion over another. The world needs is a fellowship of faiths for a common goals for a global ethic which rejects conflict, revenge, aggression and retaliation with the foundation of love. The book is expected to serve as an important component to improve relationship for theologians, biblical scholars of different religions at an international level in both countries so that a common set of core values is found in the teachings and understanding of different religions and this will form the basis of a global ethic as recommended by the 1993 Parliament of the World. India is called the Land of Faith and Religion. One can witness the Indians practicing almost all the religions prevalent in the present world - Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Sikhism and many others (including many movements and cults). Christianity's greatest contribution to our understanding of God is, Jesus of Nazareth.

Book Synopsis Health Care in Bombay Presidency, 1896-1930 by : Mridula Ramanna
Download or read book Health Care in Bombay Presidency, 1896-1930 written by Mridula Ramanna and published by Primus Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of aspects of public health in Bombay Presidency from 1896 to 1930, and is asked upon extensive primary data. It charts both the changes in the colonial plague policy, from the deadly epidemic of 1896 to the frequent epidemics that appeared in the 1900s, as well as the changes in Indian responses to that policy in different regions of the Presidency. Through a survey of unique local initiatives by activist health officials, civic leaders, and Indian doctors, efforts to bring sanitary consciousness into the public sphere, to promote preventive measures, and to tackle public health challenges like tuberculosis become apparent. The twentieth century witnessed an increasing acceptance of the idea of hospitalization and thus gave rise to the expansion of hospital facilities. This work therefore elucidates these developments through an analysis of both the funding of these expanding institutions and the classification system of admissions, as well as by providing a detailed review of maternity and mission hospitals. With these issues in mind, this work examines a range of perceptions including those of British and Indian physicians regarding the causes of high maternal and infant mortality and their suggestions to tackle it, as well as semi-official and non-official efforts to promote maternal and infant welfare. Specifically, issues such as the health of female mill workers, and the training of nurses, dais, and midwives is addressed. There was a close link between the attempts to improve the health of women and the growing number of female Indian doctors. Some of the career paths of these doctors, including their activities in the All India Women's Conference, the Association of Medical Women in India, and the National Planning Committee, are traced in this work. Through such analyses, the relative place of Western and Indian medicine in the Presidency can also be explored to reveal the manifold and complex dimensions of this encounter. This study will contribute to an understanding of the all India public health scenario of the pre-independence years, and will be of interest to scholars of history, sociology, community health, gender studies, and South Asian studies, as well as to health workers and NGOs.
Book Synopsis A Mission Divided by : Dr Kirstie Close-Barry
Download or read book A Mission Divided written by Dr Kirstie Close-Barry and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2015-12-02 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides insight into the long process of decolonisation within the Methodist Overseas Missions of Australasia, a colonial institution that operated in the British colony of Fiji. The mission was a site of work for Europeans, Fijians and Indo-Fijians, but each community operated separately, as the mission was divided along ethnic lines in 1901. This book outlines the colonial concepts of race and culture, as well as antagonism over land and labour, that were used to justify this separation. Recounting the stories told by the mission’s leadership, including missionaries and ministers, to its grassroots membership, this book draws on archival and ethnographic research to reveal the emergence of ethno-nationalisms in Fiji, the legacies of which are still being managed in the post-colonial state today. ‘Analysing in part the story of her own ancestors, Kirstie Barry develops a fascinating account of the relationship between Christian proselytization and Pacific nationalism, showing how missionaries reinforced racial divisions between Fijian and Indo-Fijian even as they deplored them. Negotiating the intersections between evangelisation, anthropology and colonial governance, this is a book with resonance well beyond its Fijian setting.’ – Professor Alan Lester, University of Sussex ‘This thoroughly researched and finely crafted book unwraps and finely illustrates the interwoven layers of evolving complexity in different interpretations of ideals and debates on race, culture, colonialism and independence that informed the way the Methodist Mission was run in Fiji. It describes the human personalities and practicalities, interconnected at local, regional and global levels, which influenced the shaping of the Mission and the independent Methodist Church in Fiji. It documents the influence of evolving anthropological theories and ecumenical theological understandings of culture on mission practice. The book’s rich sources enhance our understanding of the complex history of ethnic relations in Fiji, helping to explain why ethnic divisive thinking remains a challenge.’– Jacqueline Ryle, University of the South Pacific ‘A beautifully researched study of the transnational impact of South Asian bodies on nationalisms and church devolution in Fiji, and an important resource for empire studies as a whole.’ – Professor Jane Samson, University of Alberta, Canada
Book Synopsis Inequality, Crisis and Social Change in Indonesia by : Thomas Reuter
Download or read book Inequality, Crisis and Social Change in Indonesia written by Thomas Reuter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indonesia has experienced a quick succession of new governments and fundamental reforms since the collapse of Suharto's dictatorial regime in 1998. Established patterns in the distribution of wealth, power and knowledge have been disrupted, altered and re-asserted. The contributors to this volume have taken the unique opportunity this upheaval presents to uncover social tensions and fault lines in this society. Focusing in particular on disadvantaged sectors of Balinese society, the contributors describe how the effects of a national economic and political crisis combined with a variety of social aspirations at a grass roots level to elicit shifts in local and regional configurations of power and knowledge. This is the first time that many of them have been able to disseminate their controversial research findings without endangering their informants since the demise of the New Order regime.
Book Synopsis Encounters across Difference by : Natalia Bloch
Download or read book Encounters across Difference written by Natalia Bloch and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Encounters across Difference, Natalia Bloch examines tourism encounters in the informal sector in India and their potential to empower subaltern communities. Drawing from ethnographic evidence in Hampi and Dharamshala, Bloch explores the potential of tourism to promote political engagement, volunteering, sponsorship, local entrepreneurship, and women’s empowerment. Contrary to the frequent criticism of tourism to the Global South as a colonial practice, Bloch argues that workers and small entrepreneurs in displaced communities see tourists as allies in their political struggles and, on a more individual level, as an opportunity to build better lives.
