Are Indian Universities Decolonizing Their Curricula? Investigating Reasons for the Slow(er) Development of Decolonizing the Curriculum (DTC) in India
There is growing recognition that many university curricula are not necessarily fully fit for purpose in the twenty-first century, being elitist, narrow, and unrepresentative; lacking relevance to the students, lacking diversity, lacking inclusivity. However, ironically, given that Decolonizing the Curriculum (DTC) work is supposed to give prominence to othered knowledges, particularly that from the Global South, much DTC work is still being led …

Global crisis management and higher education
Campus crisis management remains an understudied topic in the context of COVID‐affected higher education. In this paper, we contrasted the ability to tame the wicked problems brought by the pandemic of COVID‐19 in private and public universities in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Colombia, India, Kazakhstan, Uganda, and Ukraine. The cross‐country analysis and diversity of institutional types allowed us to consider a wide range of challenges faced by academ…
Marginality and Traumatic Realism
This article examines the intersectionality of caste and marginality in postcolonial India with reference to T. G. Gnanavel’s directed Bollywood movie Jai Bhim (2021). Using Pramod K. Nayar’s theoretical framework of “knowing subalternity,” the article argues that the first step toward a cognitive understanding of caste oppression and the denial of fundamental human rights lies in the mapping of traumatic realism. The sociocultural transformation…
Introduction
Within academic disciplines, the category of Global South is highly contested with no agreements on the definition of the term. One cannot deny the amorphous nature of the term, yet its gravitational pull can be potentially effective in connecting the different forms of ongoing exploitation – both of humans and more-than-humans. This special issue aims to focus on how to think of the episteme of the Global South in ways that could be enabling, li…
Bioprecarity, Disposability, and the Poetics of Hope in Swarga
This article conceptualizes the everyday existential crisis of man, nature, including the planetary life as bioprecarity. It looks at the neoliberal capitalist economy that renders bios precarious. The bios incudes humans, more-than-humans, and natural resources in the Global South, available for value-generation of a select few. The article argues that disposability of bios triggers and expands neoliberal economy, thus turning entire life forms …

The intellectual legacy of J.E. Hodgetts
J.E. (Ted) Hodgetts was influenced by both the political economy approach that he learned at the University of Toronto and by the comprehensive historical method developed by Leonard White, under whom he studied at Chicago. His first great project, Pioneer Public Service, convinced him that responsible government was impossible without responsible public administration. The authors examine how his response to management theories and practices evo…
Hindu Religion and Environmental Well-being
A society's cultural and spiritual underpinnings of environmental stewardship can be a solid source of strength as well as a benefit to that society. One does not have to go too far to locate such underpinnings, because each society's spiritual heritage can be used to provide new ways of valuing, thinking, and acting that are necessary to nurture the respect for nature and to be prepared to avert future ecological disasters. Hinduism (as well as …

Vedic Heritage for Environmental Stewardship
An ethic of environmental stewardship can find valuable support in the world's existing cultural and spiritual traditions. This paper emphasises the Vedic heritage for eco-care, citing as examples numerous passages from Hindu sacred writings, including the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. These scriptures demonstrate an early understanding of the need to temper our material appetites, and most importantly, to treat the earth with care…

Moral Dimensions of Statecraft
The issue of moral dimensions of the state and its statecraft is the focus of this article. The issue is premised on two questions: how do we secure moral responsibility of the state and its functionaries; and what can be done to enhance the sense of mission, dedication and service which used to be the hallmarks of the public service? The concept of “administrative theology” is suggested as a possible answer in our search for a moral government a…

Bureaucratic Morality
During the past three decades there has been an enormous increase in the scope of governmental activity and in the range of its objectives. This expansion has deposited immense power and authority in the hands of public officials, thereby increasing opportunities for abuse of power and authority, as well as incidents of unethical activities. This paper examines these aspects, particularly in the context of expected standards of performance of pub…
Bureaucratic Morality
The manner in which public officials conduct themselves when relating to the public has always attracted the attention of both students and practitioners of the science of politics. Almost all the major political thinkers from Plato to Weber have given serious thought to the subject (Smith, 1959; Nelson, 1982; French, 1983). Yet, amongst scholars of public administration, bureaucratic morality has become a subject of interest only within the last…

The Canadian Government Response to Environmental Concern
The changing attitudes in the 1960s are reflected in the universal public demand for government action to control environmental pollution. The problem of pollution also commanded national attention during the 1968 federal election. When the 28th Parliament was convened, the Liberal government indicated that it would be bringing forward legislation to deal with environmental questions. As the Speech from the Throne stated: 'Of broader importance i…
