Postsocialist Ethics and Energy Consumption in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
|
| Author: |
|
| Description: |
As part of a broader trend of post-socialist reform, the Tanzanian state has turned to market-oriented strategies for basic service delivery of electricity. This project examines how urban residents incorporate these new claims into their own practical understandings of state/society relations, shaped by Tanzania's political and cultural history of socialism, and the exigencies of an energy-scarce urban landscape.

Hindu Nationalism Beyond Electoral Politics: Social Control and Cultural Policing, with Special reference to Gujarat
|
| Author: |
|
| Description: |
While the BJP is loosing ground electorally - at least in some of its North Indian strongholds -, the Sangh parivar continues its work at the grassroots level. This groundwork is changing though, since the creation of the Bajrang Dal. The RSS complex has indeed acquired an additional dimension, the BD targeting in a rather violent manner not only Muslims and Christians, but also "deviant" Hindus who do not observe the "traditions" of the majoritarity community. Such developments are especially evident in Gujarat, but can be seen in other states where the BJP is in office, such as Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka.
