International audience ; This article examines the inter-ethnic and community relationships between the Northern Hindus and Tamil Hindus in a historical perspective. It highlights the various factors impeding and consolidating unity between the two communities. It shows that in the increasing distance between the two communities, cultural and religious factors are less important than political factors in a democracy where natural, financial and human resources are limited. While on the one hand, globalisation can reduce ethnic clientelism, there are also the risks that deteriorating economic conditions can lead to greater ethnic marginalisation. ; Cet article traite de la problématique des rapports inter-ethniques et inter-communautaires dans l'Ile Maurice du 20e siècle. Il est question des rapports existant entre les Hindous du Nord et les Tamouls dans un contexte historique donné et souligne les facteurs de rapprochement et d'éloignement entre les deux groupes mentionnés. Alors que les facteurs culturels et religieux sont de moindre importance dans la constitution des liens entre les deux groupes, les facteurs politiques donnent naissance à des rapports de force et des interêts conflctuels, surtout dans une démocratie où les ressources naturelles, financières et humaines sont limitées. Cependant, la mondialisation peut avoir d'une part une réduction dans le clientélisme politique mais d'autre part, en cas de difficultés économiques persistentes, il existe des risques pour une marginalisation sectaire.

This is an editorial discussing the Continuous Journey Law and the author--s belief that it is illogical, ineffective, and anti-Imperial in its-- application (particularly regarding a pending case against a group of South Asian immigrants being held on the point that they were delayed in Hong Kong for a month due to a delay in their connecting vessel to Vancouver) and his argument that the Natal Act was far more effective and rational. He also indicates his disagreement with the Laurier government and the law and states his preference for South Asian immigrants over Japanese. ; Research project undertaken by the University of the Fraser Valley South Asian Studies Institute, formerly the Centre for Indo-Canadian Studies in 2015

Examines some aspects of the influence of Orientalism & Christianity on the construction of a notion of Hinduism that could serve as the basis for nationalism & explores two influential claims about the uniqueness & superiority of the Hindu religion & its practitioners. (1) Hinduism is the religion of a superior race, ie, the Aryan race. (2) Hinduism is spiritually superior to other religions. These two claims are never completely separate from each other, but are differently emphasized by different Hindu movements. 19 References. Adapted from the source document.
