Covering the last mile for vaccination
BACKGROUND: Pakistan has a decent network of community-based workers including lady health workers (LHWs) and vaccinators. However, a major section of the population is not covered by LHWs/vaccinators, labeled here as hard-to-reach (HTR) areas, where immunization coverage is also considerably low. This study explored the feasibility of engagement of traditional birth attendants (TBAs) to improve EPI vaccination coverage in HTR areas in rural Sind…
Archaeology of Babel
This book locates the origins of the modern humanities in the philological practices of late 18th-century British scholars in colonial India, offering a radical reappraisal of a range of disciplines and excavating hidden pre-colonial practices that might well help the humanities move beyond their current methodological and political impasses
Thinking at the Enlightenment's Limit
The colonial intellectual
Daniel White’s and Partha Chatterjee’s studies, which describe the origins of the colonial public sphere and colonial print culture in early nineteenth-century Bengal, enable us to reconsider the h
Orientalism and the Permanent Fix of War
This chapter reiterates that the Company’s early Orientalists confound ideas about the ‘imperial project’, suggesting that 18th-century British India contained possibilities different from those of the centuries that followed. The most influential of these Orientalists was Sir William Jones, arguably the most commanding scholar whom Oriental studies has yet produced, the master of languages and the supposed origin of tendencies and even disciplin…

By systematically linking eighteenth-century European writing to the colonial history of India, The Stillbirth of Capital argues that the Enlightenment's vision of empire calls our own historical and theoretical paradigms into question, especially our premise that capitalism is the basis of modernity.
Making Beautiful
Many competing sociological debates intersect in the world of beauty parlors. There is an increasing proliferation of male or 'gents' parlors-a space where a new formation of the male self is being produced and established through new cultures of care and work. Because 'work' has always been understood as central to the lives of men, a major basis of their identity, it is often seen as being identified with masculinity. 'Beauty' and 'caring,' on …
The Theater of the Civilized Self
IN FEBRUARY 1788 EDMUND BURKE OPENED the impeachment of Warren Hastings, the East India Company's first Governor-General, for the crimes that his administration had committed in India with a four-day-long speech before the House of Lords, and London's fashionable society bought tickets as if attending theater. Referred to as ''the greatest public sensation of the seventeen-eighties, ''the impeachment brought more attention than any other contempo…
