Holi Festival, Providence, RI
Not sure what to expect, I accepted an invitation to participate in the celebration of Holi: the Indian festival of colors; a welcoming of Spring and the triumph of good over evil. I joined a diverse group of about 50 great folks - young and old - who came from around New England and beyond. This intimate evening gathering was at the temporary address of the India Museum and Heritage Society in Providence.

Congressman Jim McDermott speaks to Sohena Patel, a NETIP conference co-chair. Photo by Ajay Goel By Ajay Goel A mecca for Indian American twenty- and thirty-somethings, the conference covered a breadth of topics, from Indo-American politics to professional and personal development. Founded 10 years ago in Chicago, NETIP seeks to promote professional development, community service, cultural and political awareness, and the overall advancement of South Asians. The conference kicked off on Friday night with an icebreaker and mixer, followed by a midnight cruise on Lake Michigan. After a few hours of sleep, the attendees were treated to a high-energy motivational speech given by Krish Dhanam of the Zig Ziglar Corporation on Saturday morning. Dhanam talked about the driving forces in his own life and what factors should inspire young Indian Americans to achieve greatness. Rep. Jim McDermott, D-WA, who played an instrumental role in convincing former President Clinton to visit India, talked about how difficult it was to get his congressional colleagues to look at India as a potential ally.

    • The geography of the subcontinent fostered development of many early civilizations of great importance and vitality. Successive contacts and conquests changed the face of the subcontinent.
    Materials Performance Objectives
    • Students will identify and discuss early South Asian empires and societies. Students will be engaged in a case study of contact and conquest on the subcontinent. Students will evaluate the degree to which successive contacts and conquests brought about change on the subcontinent.
    Teacher Background Early South Asian civilization, specifically the Indus Valley civilization, is contemporary with the civilization of ancient Egypt, the civilization of ancient Mesopotamia and early Chinese civilization located in the Yellow River Valley. All of these regions shared the geographic characteristic as major river valleys. The abundance of water allowed for irrigation even in terms of scarce rainfall. The two most important sites in the Indus Valley were Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa, an area which today is in northwestern India and Pakistan. The two capitals Of the Indus spread over 1000 miles along the floor of the valley.

    LIT 100 Fall 1989
    T TH 10:00-11:47 A.M.
    124 Wilson
    Instructor: Carlo Coppola
    Description : This course is an introduction to the four great literary traditions of Asia: the Indian, the Chinese, the Japanese and the Middle Eastern. It is, first and foremost, a course in literature not one in area studies. Students will be introduced to the tools of literary analysis common to both the western and eastern literary traditions, and then will read, discuss, and analyze literature according to genre: epic, scripture, drama, lyric poetry and fiction (short story and novel). Such analysis will elucidate the universality of the problems of the human condition, which are viewed in these various texts by Asia's foremost literary figures.
    Discussion within the genre rubric will be roughly chronological, moving from the ancient period to the modern. When required, students will also receive an appropriate amount of cultural and historical context in which to place the works. As a part of the Oakland University General Education Program, the course will develop analytical skills, especially in the comparison-contrast mode, for the instructor will, when germane, discuss comparisons, analogues, and contrasts with western literature and attitudes.
    Class Format : The basic format of the course will be one of lecture and discussion. Lectures at the start of each section of the course (viz., The Epic Tradition, The Scriptural Tradition, The Dramatic Tradition, The Lyric Tradition, and the Fictive Tradition) will broadly define the terms required for understanding the various genres. Discussion will accompany each work read. The class will make extensive use of audio-visual materials, including slides, phonograph recordings, video tapes, and films, a number of which are already owned by Oakland University. In addition, several guest lecturers will make specialized presentations.

    Cultural pluralism, political institutions and socio-economic processes A course given in co-operation between departments of the Domain of Humanities and Social Sciences at Uppsala University Course description Instruction is in English South Asia consists of seven countries: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldive Islands, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, but can still be said to constitute a geographical unit. The region has a homogeneous civilisation with a shared historical background and culture. Today’s political boundaries cut across ethnic and social groupings. People move between countries in a way that further complicates the political and religious demography. Alongside smaller religions such as Buddhism and Jainism, there are two major religions in the area, Hinduism and Islam, which have often been antagonistic towards each other. Despite great conflicts within and between states, there is a trend towards bilateral as well as regional collaboration. The government structures are mainly a product of the region’s history, not least reflecting the transition from colonial to postcolonial conditions. Aim of the course
    The aim of the course is to give students such an advanced knowledge of South Asia that they will be able to achieve an overall understanding of the region’s multifaceted, multicultural society with its changing tendencies, great potential for development and well-documented, deeply rooted culture. An additional aim is to provide students with such proficiency in at least one of the region’s languages that they will be able to move about without difficulty within various realms of activities in the region and communicate with people on different levels of ability.
