Indian nationalist discourses in Portuguese India have a direct relation with the political developments in British India. I use the terms 'British India' instead of 'India' and 'Portuguese India' instead of 'Goa' (and the territories of Daman and Diu on the coast of Gujarat), in order to critically re-think the writing of history from an Indian nationalist and post-colonialist perspectives. The post-colonial reality of Portuguese India under the Indian nation-state after 1961 does not readily fit into the imagination of Indian nationhood. Nor does it fit easily into the theoretical perspective emerging out of a reading of the British colonial archive. This is due to the fact that modes of colonialism of the Portuguese and the British differed from each other. Since the perspective of British India ultimately became the norm, there have been attempts to fit the ill-fitting history of Portuguese India into the British Indian mold. This has serious repercussions for understanding the history of Portuguese colonialism. It also has repercussions for understanding the political representation and identities of the various communities living in Portuguese India under Indian nationalism and the Indian nation-state. ; Os discursos nacionalistas indianos na Índia portuguesa têm relação directa com os desenvolvimentos políticos na Índia britânica. Uso termos como 'Índia britânica' em vez de 'Índia' ou 'Índia portuguesa' em vez de 'Goa' (e os territórios de Damão e Diu, na costa de Gujarat), de forma a repensar criticamente a escrita da História segundo as perspectivas nacionalista indiana e pós colonial. A realidade pós-colonial da Índia portuguesa sob o Estado-nação indiano depois de 1961 não se encaixa de forma imediata no imaginário da nacionalidade indiana. Também não se encaixa facilmente na perspectiva teórica que emerge de uma leitura do arquivo colonial britânico. Isto deve-se ao facto de os tipos de colonialismo britânico e português diferirem um do outro. Desde o momento em que a perspectiva da Índia britânica ...

INTRODUCTION: Maternal anaemia is a major public health issue in India. The government of India recommends parenteral iron to manage moderate and severe grades of anaemia. In contrast to its clinical efficacy, the cost-effectiveness of intravenous iron sucrose and ferric carboxymaltose is not yet established in Indian context. This article illustrates the protocol of health technology assessment to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of intravenous therapy on the improvement of haemoglobin concentration over oral therapy. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The study will be carried out in two districts of Gujarat state. The study participants will be selected by a proportionate sampling method from the rural, tribal, desert and coastal region of the districts. Data will be collected over 1 year on key outcome indicators using a mixed-method approach. Key informant interviews will be conducted, and cost data will be gathered to perform cost-effectiveness analysis. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study is approved by the Technical Appraisal Committee of Health Technology Assessment India, Department of Health Research and Institutional Ethics Committee of the Indian Institute of Public Health, Gandhinagar.

This article argues that though communal riots bring different experiences for men and women, yet this reality does not seem to be recognized by post-riot justice mechanisms. Justice post-riots is viewed as a 'blanket' term for all the victims irrespective of their gender. In so doing, women's everyday experiences seem to get pushed under the carpet. Drawing from feminist critique of the legalistic approach to justice, this article problematizes the understanding that there is only one singular, official version of truth in post-riot situations. The article critically examines post-riot judicial commissions that were constituted to inquire into the Mumbai (1992–1993) and Gujarat (2002) riots from a feminist perspective. I argue that the judicial inquiry commissions in their current format are underequipped to deal with gender concerns that emerge after communal riots. And that there is a need for feminist security studies to venture into critically analyzing judicial inquiry commissions.

This book investigates the less-explored dimensions of how industries in different Indian subnational spaces or states have responded to the growing phenomenon of internationalization. What factors have influenced firms participating in global business? Have state (both central and provincial) policies acted as catalyst for local firms? Not only does this study delve into these issues; it also painstakingly develops a comprehensive database that remains unique in the absence of reliable official statistics on this subject to date. Efforts have been made to establish a reasonably consistent dataset for the period 1990-2008 derived from the CMIE-PROWESS database. Care has been taken to condense the data and classify it by sector, location, size and ownership. The study delineates export patterns by firm and state and explores factors influencing export decisions according to sector, size and location. A further interesting aspect is the book's critical examination of industrial and trade promotion policies at the state/regional level that might have contributed to or hindered exporting by firms. The states considered for detailed policy discussions are highly diverse and include Gujarat, Odisha and Karnataka. To address the glaring absence of literature on the role of subnational factors in enterprises' export performance, a preliminary state-by-state analysis of the spatial determinants of firms' export activities is also provided.

This article intends to showcase that land grabbing of gauchar (pastureland) at the village level affects women and men in differing ways, along the variables of gender and caste. The article uncovers the notion that the link among gender, caste and access to common property resources (CPRs) are deeply rooted in the power dynamics of the caste-based operating system at the informal level. Drawing on intersectionality perspective, the article explains through ethnographic data collected over a period of time, in a small rural community in Gujarat, India, that women's social location/standing leads them to have multiple identities, which defines and alters their gender relations, norms, negotiations and access to resources, in context to land grab of CPRs. Consequently, the article argues that group-based social differences and power structures ultimately determine access to natural resources and institutional base for women from different strata of society wherein the governance structure may fall short of addressing these issues.

Smart city is a concept created to manage urban systems. The system is integrated into local government information systems, schools, campuses, transportation systems, hospitals, businesses, commerce, power plants, water supply networks, law enforcement, job vacancies and other community services. The concept of smart city itself has actually been applied in several countries such as Turkey, Malta, Stockholm (Sweden), Gujarat (India), Kuching (Malaysia) to several cities in Indonesia such as Bandung, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Magelang, and Denpasar (Bali). This concept essentially emphasizes on the utilization of information technology (IT) ie internet, social media (medsos) in the life of society. In the local governance (local government) of Denpasar, the concept of 'smart city' is not a new item. Several agencies such as the Office of Communications and Informatics, BPBD Denpasar, Health Office (Diskes), Samsat Office, Immigration Office, Denpasar City Licensing Agency, Kesbangpol Denpasar City and other government agencies have applied this Smart City concept. Benefits with the implementation of online-based system (smart city) is a faster service, easy and efficient.
