Reflections on the State of the World
If the world is in a moment of upheaval, what that upheaval looks and feels like depends a lot on where you are. In this collection of Dispatches, we invited writers, scholars, and thinkers from Oslo, Guatemala City, Cape Town, Canberra, Moscow, Chennai, and Jerusalem to reflect on what the state of the world looks like from where they are sitting. What are the most defining issues? What is the mood where you live? And what might the future hold
Managing Tourism and Hospitality Sectors for Sustainable Global Transformation
"The tourism and hospitality sectors face significant challenges in balancing economic growth with environmental preservation and socio-cultural integrity. The rapid growth of global travel, exacerbated by phenomena like "revenge travel" following the pandemic, has highlighted the urgent need for sustainable practices. However, implementing such practices is often needed due to comprehensive guidance and understanding of effective strategies.Mana…

Tibetan Exiles in India Face Urgent Questions
India has hosted Tibetan’s government-in-exile for decades, but the disadvantages of stateless status have led to growing migration to other countries, adding to questions about the future of the Tibetan cause
Between Narratives of Solidarity and Othering in Indo-Tibetan Borderlands
Tibetan refugee rehabilitation in Arunachal Pradesh, India, has become a site of contention, with strident local identity narratives agitating against refugee presence in this Himalayan borderland state. This paper maps the processes of state-making, citizenship and identity that produce a collision between encompassing notions of citizenship/identity and territorialized discourses of belonging premised on ethnicity in the West Kameng and Tawang …
Psychological characteristics associated with Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy and resistance in Ireland and the United Kingdom
Identifying and understanding COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy within distinct populations may aid future public health messaging. Using nationally representative data from the general adult populations of Ireland ( N = 1041) and the United Kingdom (UK; N = 2025), we found that vaccine hesitancy/resistance was evident for 35% and 31% of these populations respectively. Vaccine hesitant/resistant respondents in Ireland and the UK differed on a number of …
Disciplining Statelessness
Tibetan settlements in India house the largest population of Tibetan exiles and are crucial repositories of Tibetan culture and nationalism in the political struggle for Tibet. The settlements privilege the moral narrative of statelessness as an integral part of the Tibetan struggle. However, given the precarity of land tenure, these settlements are steadily hollowing out, with an increasing number of Tibetans choosing to migrate out of India. In…
Frontiers in Flux
On the eve of Indian Independence, as Britain prepared to devolve the Crown’s treaties with Tibet to the Indian government, the Tibetan government was debating its future treaty relationship with India under the 1914 Simla Convention and associated Indo-Tibetan Trade Regulations. Soon after Indian independence, Tibetan government made an expansive demand for return of Tibetan territory along the McMahon Line and beyond. This led to a long diploma…
Enduring liminality
This paper examines the location and production of liminality with regard to voting rights of Tibetan exile community in India. Liminality is related here to the legal and bureaucratic ‘inbetweenness’ that characterises and orders the life of the Tibetan exiles in India. Tibetans born in India have been registered as voters in India’s electoral list albeit without an accompanying claim or path to citizenship. The paper argues that these voting ri…
From Refuge to Rights
This article explores the history of collective claims made over the land in Majnu ka Tilla (MT), an informal colony of exiled Tibetans in New Delhi.Tibetans have now lived in India as stateless people for 60 years.This protracted exile has produced simultaneous narratives of refugeehood and citizen-like claims over land in MT.The article focuses on the role of the Residents Welfare Association (RWA) of MT in negotiating precarities of urban info…

Bilingual Education in Xinjiang in the Post-2009 Period
This article analyses strategies of minority education currently in place in Xinjiang in the context of the second generation ethnic policy debate in China. The article argues that the 2009 ethnic riots in Xinjiang coupled with the change of leadership in China has significantly hardened the state’s approach to aggressively promoting Putonghua (standard Chinese). This policy is facing significant structural and political challenges in its impleme…
Chinese Strategies for Resolution of the Taiwan and South China Sea Disputes
The Taiwan and the South China Sea disputes have seen the application of multi-pronged military, political and economic strategies by China. This became possible with the declining influence of the communist ideology in China's foreign policy and the consequential “thickening of the elite”. It would be erroneous to characterize China's policy as aggressive based on its declaration to reserve its right to use force to resolve these disputes. The t…

USE of aquatic plants for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater
The biomass yield, efficiency to uptake heavy metals and metal concentration factor (MCF) were calculated for Salvinia and Spirodela. These plants were used for the removal of lead and zinc, from their synthetic solutions of single and mixed groups in laboratory conditions in two different seasons (August‐November ‘90 and April‐July ‘91). In both seasons the maximum yield was observed for Spirodela in lead solutions, while in case of zinc solutio…

Parents' and Teachers' Attitudes and Reactions toward Participation in Sports by Young Athletes of a University in an Indian State
Research interest in the study of sociology of sport in India is very recent. Data for the study were collected through a pretested questionnaire distributed to 200 sports participants (100 male and 100 female) coming from the student population of the University of the Punjab State in India in 1984. The hypothesis that parents encourage their sons more than their daughters to participate in sports was not verified. The study revealed that it was…

Tata Institute Radiocarbon Date List IX
The C 14 dates given below are in years b . p . calculated on the basis of τ 1/2 = 5568 years. For converting to a . d ./ b . c scale, 1950 was used as reference year. Ninety-five per cent activity of NBS oxalic acid was used as a modern standard
Tata Institute Radiocarbon Date List VIII
Given below are the dates of archaeologic and Quaternary samples measured by the proportional counting of methane gas. Details of the techniques used were published earlier (Agrawal et al. , 1965)
Tata Institute Radiocarbon Date List VII
We continue to give dates based on the half-life of 5568 years according to the decision of the Sixth Pullman Conference (Internatl. Conf., Pullman, 1965). The year 1950 has been used as a reference year for converting the dates to A.D./B.C. scale. A value corresponding to 95% net counting rate of the NBS oxalic acid has been used as the modern reference standard
