In the first two decades of liberalization MTV has been a symbol of the complicated trajectory of transnational media in Indian public culture. A juggernaut cultural force and arguably one of the most potent dynamics in the globalization of youth culture, MTV, whose content in India is largely film-music oriented, has recently ( 2009 ) introduced a rock-centric 'making-the band' show called Kurkure Desi Beats Rock On (KDBRO) that taps into and draws from a six-decades old culture of rock music performance in urban middle-class India. Drawing from personal interviews and examining musical and discursive texts from KDBRO's first season, this article interprets how the show's producers and judges have attempted to ascertain an appropriately 'Indian' yet 'rock' sound, with musical outcomes that display tension between a desire for audible cultural nationalism and the practicalities of performing a transnational musical form. Through close reading of the show's musical and discursive negotiations I argue that the figure of the rock musician is a conduit for complicated cultural politics in which a mandate for cultural 'authenticity' is troubled by the realities of participation in a globalized media field—and that this dynamic speaks to larger social transformations in an economically globalized India.

This paper focuses on four popular UK based, desi food blogs by Anjali Pathak, Hari Ghotra, Mallika Basu, and Chintal Kakaya, who are ambassadors of the global justice charity Find Your Feet's (FYF) 'Curry for Change' (CFC) campaign. Reconfiguring and challenging geographical parameters and national boundaries, the bloggers team up with FYF to help fight hunger in African and Asian rural communities. Using the Internet as a platform to create awareness about the charity, the blogs share recipes and meal plans for dinner parties hosted in honour of the charity and invite the public to fundraising events. Concerned with human rights, these bloggers affect social change by empowering individuals and communities to participate in civic engagement, and occasionally to even challenge unfair government policies/ practices. The blogs' efficacy can also be measured through the funds raised, the public attention they receive from channels such as Indian food network and London Live, local/regional newspapers such as the London Evening Standard, and magazines like India's Complete Wellbeing Magazine. Food blogs that actively contribute to global justice movements cannot be seen as domestic reflections or exercises in nostalgia anymore. Referring to Habermas's notion of the public sphere and Nancy Fraser's concept of the transnational public sphere, I examine these food blogs as transnational public spheres. Based on textual analysis of blog entries related specifically to the CFC campaign and an examination of FYF's annual reviews, this paper examines how these food blogs have expanded in form and function by engaging in cyberactivism.

AbstractThis paper deals with the history of the two lines of reincarnated lamas of the Baruun Heid monastery in Alasha and is written by the most senior representative of this tradition. According to The Biography of the Sixth Dalai Lama, sometimes called The Secret Biography, and according to the tradition of the Alasha Mongols, the Sixth Dalai Lama did not die in 1706 in the Khökhnuur area as described in standard histories. Instead he is said to have escaped while being taken to Beijing under custody and after various travels to have settled in Alasha, where he died in 1746. His disciples founded a monastery and two complementary reincarnation lines which combined the reincarnations of the de-throned Sixth Dalai Lama and those of Sangye Gyatso (1653–1705), the Tibetan regent or desi (sde srid) who had recognised him. The author, who is at the same time Professor of Linguistics at Inner Mongolia University and the current reincarnation of Sangye Gyatso, describes this widely discussed tradition and its re-emergence in Alasha after the Cultural Revolution

Dilihat dari kaidah-kaidah perencanaan, fenomena-fenomena sosial ekonomi dan politik di tanah air yang terjadi semenjak pertengahan tahun 1997 menggambarkan bahwa perencanaan pembangunan nasional kita tidak begitu memiliki daya antisipatif yang baik. Instabilitas sosial-politik di dalam negeri tadi, ditambah dinamika perekonomian global,ternyata mampu meruntuhkan seluruh hasil jerih payah bangsa Indonesia membangun negeri selama tiga dasawarsa terakhir ini. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa paradigma dan pendekatan yang digunakan dalam proses perencanaan pembangunan nasional selama ini, ternyata memiliki berbagai kelemahan yang bersifat mendasar. Untuk itu, penyelenggaraan pembangunan nasional perlu terus-menerus dievaluasi dengan menggunakan pendekatan dan bentuk reformasi yang tepat guna mengatasi kelemahan sistem / proses pembangunan yang dihadapi dewasa ini

Perilaku birokrasi kita yang selama ini cenderung tidak efesien, boros dan minta dilayani dan sejumlah citra jelek lainnya, mempunyai hubungan yang kuat dengan perilaku individu dan masyarakat kita sendiri. Atau dalam bahasa lain perilaku birokrasi adalah cerminan dari perilaku masyarakat sekitarnya. Bagaimana melakukan transformasi perilaku birokrasi agar mampu mengubah citra tersebut tentu harus diupayakan, dalam upaya mendukung terciptanya Lembaga Pemerintahan yang demokratis.

This paper continues the authors' earlier analysis, in which we used five principle dimensions of the International Digital Economy and Social Index (I-DESI) for the 28 countries of the EU and the Russian Federation to examine how Russia's development relates to that of other EU countries. The aim of this paper is not to establish a ranking, but to determine the relationship between each dimension and the groups into which these 29 countries can be divided by multivariate statistical analysis tools and to analyze the group to which the Russian Federation belongs. We use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to map our data to a lower-dimensional space (revealing two latent dimensions), and to analyze causal relations between the principal dimensions using partial correlation coefficients, concluding that two of the five main dimensions can be explained by three independent dimensions. Thereafter, we use cluster analysis to group our objects (i. e. the 29 countries) into clusters, and multidimensional scaling (MDS) to visualize the location of these groups and countries on the plane of the two components (from the PCA), focusing on the Russian Federation. According to our results, the Russian Federation can be classified as a moderately developed country in terms of its I-DESI score, but its location on the plane of principle components differs from the group of moderately developed EU-countries, forming a separate "group" on its own, largely owing to the unique characteristics of the country's digital development.
