Let a Billion Readers Bloom: Same Language Subtitling (SLS) on Television for Mass Literacy
Reading Out of the "Idiot Box": Same-Language Subtitling on Television in India
Same Language Subtitling (SLS) is the idea of subtitling the lyrics of songbased television programs (e.g., music videos), in the same language as the audio. Situated in a literature review of subtitling, this article describes the first-ever implementation of SLS on a TV program of film songs, specifically for first-language literacy. Chitrageet, a weekly 30-minute TV program of Gujarati film songs, was telecast across Gujarat state in India, wi…

Same language subtitling: A butterfly for literacy
Same language subtitling (SLS) refers to the idea of subtitling motion media programmes (television and film) in the ‘same’ language as the audio.

Song videos are watched with great passion all over India, in every state and majo…
Savouring Rajasthan's Shiksha Karmi in a remote village: The prospect of dismantling the student-teacher divide

Rights to the Benefits of Research: Compensating Indigenous Peoples for their Intellectual Contribution
Research on indigenous knowledge has resulted in innumerable benefits to the Outsider(s). Indigenous peoples should be compensated in return. This article argues for integrating compensation and empowerment into the heart of the research process itself rather than viewing them as post-project undertakings. "Rights to the Benefits of Research" (RBR) is proposed as a unifying term to coalesce ideas of compensation for benefits to the Outsider(s) ob…
Strands of The Ecuadorian Indian Movement: The Case of Fici and Ficapi in Imbabura Province
The literature tends to present an essentialized view of the Indian movement in Ecuador. This article identifies two distinct strands of the Ecuadorian Indian movement(s). The “indigenous” strand, which primarily constructs an “ethnic” (indigenous) identity, is usually taken to embody the whole Indian movement. This belies the existence of a “campesino-indigenous” strand that has witnessed a significant shift from an original emphasis on “class” …
