Full textAbstract:
The Inheritance of Loss requires background information on two major historical movements in India. The first is British colonial rule in India and eventual Indian independence. At the end of the 16th century, the British aimed to challenge the Portuguese monopoly of trade with Asia. The British East India Company was chartered to carry on the spice trade. In the mid18th century, the British forces, whose duty until then consisted of protecting Company property, teamed up with the commander in chief of the Bengali army, Mir Jafar, to overthrow the leader of Bengal. Jafar was then installed on the throne as a British subservient ruler. The British then realized their strength and potential for conquering smaller Indian kingdoms, and by the mid-19th century, they had gained direct or indirect control over all of present-day India. In 1857, the Indian Rebellion of 1857 took place in an attempt to resist the company’s control of India. The British defeated the rebellion, and the British crown formally took over India and it came under direct British rule and the Indian Civil Service (ICS). The ICS was originally headed by British state officials, but these were gradually replaced by Indian officials in order to appease the public.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article explores the role of Indian petitioning in the process of consolidating British power after the East India Company's military conquest of Bengal in the late eighteenth century. The presentation of written petitions (often termed‘arziin Persian) was a pervasive form of state-subject interaction in early modern South Asia that carried over, in modified forms, into the colonial era. The article examines the varied uses of petitioning as a technology of colonial state-formation that worked to establish the East India Company's headquarters in Calcutta as the political capital of Bengal and the Company as a sovereign source of authority and justice. It also shows how petitioning became a site of anxiety for both colonial rulers and Indian subjects, as British officials struggled to respond to a mass of Indian ‘complaints’ and to satisfy the expectations and norms of justice expressed by petitioners. It suggests that British rulers tried to defuse the perceived political threat of Indian petitioning by redirecting petitioners into the newly regulated spaces of an emergent colonial judiciary.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the application of merit system in the implementation of open selection for high leadership positions in the context of a local socio-cultural setting. The merit system policy in this open selection in this research refers to the Regulation of the Minister of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (Permenpanrb) Number 15 of 2019. This research was conducted in the East Manggarai Regency Government utilizing a post-positivist research approach with qualitative data collection techniques. The findings showed that the implementation of open selection for filling JPT in East Manggarai Regency was not based on succession planning, there were differences in administrative requirements with relevant regulations; the addition of several administrative files. The background checking process is only carried out based document-driven and conducted indirectly to the participants’ work environment. The process of monitoring and evaluation or re-mapping for elected officials is carried out periodically. The limited number of elected officials with different socio-cultural backgrounds is due to the composition of employees and selection participants who mostly come from the East Manggarai Regency area and share the same socio-cultural background. Keywords: Civil Service, Merit System, Open Selection, Primordialism.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTThis article analyses the reception and understanding of the Indian village council (panchayat) among East India Company officials, British politicians, and Indian intellectuals during the first third of the nineteenth century. One of the several ways in which the panchayat was imagined was as an institution analogous to the English jury. As such, the panchayat took on significant meaning, especially for those influenced by the Scottish Orientalist tradition and who were serving in India. The issue became especially salient during the 1820s and 1830s as the jury system was debated and reformed in England. In this context, there was a transnational interplay of both ideas and policies that shaped both Company rule in India as well as the first generation of Indian nationalists.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractBetween 1759 and 1800, Surat, still an important trade and financial centre, was under the ultimate rule of the East India Company. Although the EIC justified this as necessary for protecting Surat's inhabitants and, most particularly, the local merchant class, the Company failed not only to protect the Surat merchants against the depredations of Great Britain's European enemies, but also to safeguard the merchants from extortion by local EIC top officials. In fact, the latter imposed what was essentially a protection racket on trade from Surat to the Middle East. This article focuses on the Surat merchants’ long-drawn out and ultimately unsuccessful struggle against what, in the official documents, was dubbed the [British] monopoly of the trade to the “Gulphs”. The episode demonstrates two theses: the first is that the interests of the Surat merchants held little importance to the EIC or its officials, and the second is that, during the period under examination, no mutually beneficial partnership tied the British to the Surat merchants — rather, the relationship was one of naked exploitation by the former of the latter.

Full textAbstract:
The activity of officials in the creation of public organizations and objects of socio-cultural infrastructure of the Primorsky region in the last quarter of the 19th — early 20th centuries is considered. Based on the analysis of archival office materials, reports of public organizations and sources of personal origin, the composition of participants, motives, areas of activity, forms and content of the contribution of Primorye employees are revealed. It is concluded that socio-cultural activities are widespread among officials, including representatives of the regional and district administrations, as well as officials of the Main Directorate of the Amur Governorate General. The author established the main motives for the participation of representatives of the administration in the formation of new societies and socio-cultural objects: official duty, imitation of fashion, personal interest, social significance. The key areas of socio-cultural activities are identified — charity, care and science, as well as individual initiatives in the areas of education, creativity and art, leisure. The main forms of contribution are determined: participation, assistance in the development and approval of statutory documents, financial and material donations, personal guidance, search for like-minded people. The importance of activities to create societies and socio-cultural objects for building a dialogue between the administration and the population and strengthening the connection of officials with the region is noted.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of work-family conflicts (WFC) on job stress and its subsequent impact on job satisfaction among the police officials. It also examined the moderating effect of the social support from organisations between employees’ job stress and satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach – The authors conducted a survey on 599 police officials associated with 20 police stations in New Delhi, India. The study involved a hierarchical regression analysis to examine the relationship between independent (WFC) and dependent (satisfaction) variable with the mediator (stress) as well as the moderator (social support). Findings – The findings revealed that stress mediated the relationship between WFC and satisfaction of the police officials. Further, social support acted as a moderator between their job stress and satisfaction. Practical implications – The study findings added a new chapter in the existing literature by developing a comprehensive framework that considers different dimensions, i.e. WFC and job stress in Indian context. Originality/value – The study has originality and offers value to police organisation as it focuses on police officials, and explores their WFC and job stress and its subsequent effect on their job satisfaction.

This report is the result of a literature study and questionnaire which gave insight on the role of officials in the rehabilitation process. Correctional Services has adopted a new approach, where offenders need to change their negative behaviour and be rehabilitated. Corrections have a societal responsibility towards the community to guide the offender on his rehabilitation path. This study was conducted to give a better understanding of rehabilitation to offenders The purpose of this research is to determine if the Department of Correctional Services delivers on its legal and social responsibility towards the rehabilitation of offenders. In this study the researcher gathered information on the department policies, training of officials, the programmes currently available in Correctional Services, and also the involvement of the community in this process. Corrections cannot work alone, and needs the help of the community and leaders in the community to assist it in this process. Correctional Services faces many challenges in order to succeed in the rehabilitation of offenders. Currently there is a shortage of officials in the Department of Correctional Services, and the Department cannot, therefore, fully succeed in its rehabilitative role. Another aspect is that rehabilitation programmes are voluntary, and offenders can decide if they want to become involved or not.

Full textAbstract:
Anti-corruption measures are put forward as a panacea to effective procurement system, among other things, which ultimately improve service delivery. Corruption has demonstrated remarkable durability and flexibility to survive in all socio-economic systems with the conception of a corruption-free economy in reality, is hardly possible. Given this background, this study sought to evaluate the efficacy of the already implemented anti-corruption measures in the procurememt procecesses of Marondera municipality. To understand their effectiveness, relevant literature was reviewed. Different scholars point against the ineffectiveness of these measures, with Corruption Perception Index (CPI) from previous research showing devastating results in Zimbabwean local institutions. A further discussion of corruption cenception, different anti-corruption measures and legal frameworks gave a greater understanding of the area under study. In this study, a sample of 80 respondents was identified and data collected from them using both snow ball and purposive sampling methods. Thirty-five of them were females respondents and forty-five were male respondents from Marondera municipal community, with different demographic characteristics which was used for comparison of responses. Questionnaires and interviews were used as research instruments. Both the Quantitative and Qualitative research methods were used in the anaylsis of the data, to increase validity and reliability of the feelings.

Full textAbstract:
The research was conducted to address the low service levels offered by Buffalo City Municipality. In the past Council has received numerous customer complaints to this effect, via correspondence and verbal communication to council delegates and officials. The executive head of the municipality has requested a turn around of this appalling situation. The aim of this research was to gain insight and meaning to the existing problem in an attempt to correct it. This was accomplished by identifying the problem, and then by introducing sub-problems to the main problem for practical and relevant solutions. The research was extended to cover the East London and King Williams Town Local Councils. This was undertaken through personal interviews with the Buffalo City Municipality staff, management, Salga officials and non-profit organisations that were involved in community research on service levels and delivery in local government for this region. Literature was reviewed on methods of improving customer relations in both the public and private sectors. Local and international best practices were analysed to benchmark against successful practices worldwide. Information relevant to Buffalo City’s scenario has been presented in this study, from the identification of effective customer relation practices, followed by the roles and skills required by management. In addition to the personal interviews conducted, a two-page questionnaire was compiled based on integrated information from literature reviewed on best practices, and staff and management input. The questionnaire formed part of the empirical study. Results of the study were critically analysed and revealed three main areas of urgent importance. These are: effective communication, the establishment of a customer care policy and procedures together with training and development. These are effectively achievable after the placement of staff. The study was concluded with a practical and applicable detailed programme of intervention.

Full textAbstract:
To a large extent research on diversity in organisations has centred on the persistence of gender inequality. Relatively few studies deal with the racialised character of many professional workplaces, especially in the Australian context. This research critically examines the experiences of perceived discrimination, exclusion after inclusion, and prejudice faced by immigrant Indian professionals in Australian organisations. It focuses on the challenges of emotional labour as it can be difficult to conceal true emotions and to display the emotions required by the job. Embroiled in this conflict between the required and true emotions, job burnout and stress may occur. The present research examines the adjustments and struggles faced by immigrant Indian professionals and whether these factors also play a role in their integration within organisations. The principle research question which drives this research is: Are immigrant Indian professionals vulnerable to prejudice and discrimination as well as exclusion after inclusion in Australian organisations and does prejudice and discrimination as well as exclusion after inclusion have an impact on emotional labour? In particular my research goal is to analyse the perceived experiences, if any, of inclusionary and exclusionary organisational practices and how they impact the emotional labour of immigrant Indian professionals. Discrimination and exclusion is difficult to measure and, as such, researchers rely on respondents’ perceptions. Although there may be a difficulty in assessing whether perceptions of discrimination are representative of actual discriminatory actions, whether the perceived discrimination is ‘real’ or not, it is an important psychological reality for immigrants. Perceived discrimination has strongly and consistently been found to be a psychological stressor (Mirchandani 2003). Drawing on a qualitative approach I have used in-depth interviews to reveal the stories and experiences of immigrant Indian professionals to Australia. A major element driving my choice of research design is the assumption that many of the exclusionary practices which may take place are informal and may include a collection of interpersonal dynamics and institutional practices that set up advantages for some employees but disadvantages for others. I have sought to gather data that is often veiled and hidden, intentionally or otherwise. I have attempted to explore whether stereotyping of and exclusionary practices toward immigrant Indian professionals persist in Australian organisations outside the framework of formal policies and regulation. This thesis does not examine policies of organisations per se, but focuses on the experiences of immigrant Indian professionals and their perceptions of practices that may persist regardless of policy. The findings indicated that, due to tougher legislation against discrimination in the workplace, it now exists in subtle forms in Australian organisations. This includes ridicule, withholding information, social isolation, passing remarks and making unfair accusations, each causing the ethnic minorities a lot of stress. The data indicates that the interviewees perceive that there is a devaluation of their skills, knowledge and qualifications, at a time when the country is in competition with other migration nations for scarce and in-demand human capital. With the increasing diversity in the work environment, Australian organisations need to make proper adjustments regarding worker’s interests and needs, and to make sure the work environment is equitable and inclusive. This study will allow better recognition and understanding of the dynamics of the Indian Diaspora in Australia and the dynamics of their inclusion in Australian organisations. The Australian workplace continues to become more ethnically diverse at all levels of occupation, with people from ethnic backgrounds making up considerable additions to the workforce. However, the examination of exclusionary or discriminatory practices and the relationship between work stress, acculturation and its impact on emotional labour has not been well researched. Many of the reports of discriminatory practices towards Indians or stigmatisation on the basis of accent, skin tone or national origin are anecdotal in nature and this study, especially by conducting interviews with immigrant Indian professionals, seeks to better comprehend and elucidate such practices as perceived by these professionals, and their impacts on Indian professionals in Australia. This will provide organisations with information to improve the alignment between organisational discourse and organisational practice. It is expected that the findings generated by this study will encourage and promote greater awareness and understanding so that the immigrant Indian professionals may be better understood and served.

Abstract There have been Hindus living in England for at least two hundred years. During the eighteenth century British families who were returning from India developed a practice of bringing their domestic servants with them. The custom seems to have been initiated by the higher officials of the British East India Company, but the trend soon extended far more widely. In addition, Indian sailors known as Lascars, who were employed by the Company on its ships, naturally came ashore at several British ports and some of these remained here permanently.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This chapter demonstrates the power of cross-cultural alliances forged overseas at a time when the potency of the East India Company at home was waning. As in Ouidah, the Siamese King Nrai adopted a policy of encouraging a foreign presence. He went much further than the authorities in Ouidah, however, by building foreigners into the state apparatus. The English East India Company was well placed to benefit from these opportunities, but entrepreneurial employees eclipsed their corporate employers by securing state positions for themselves. Following the Skinner brothers, the White brothers (George and Samuel) used the wealth they derived from these positions to secure a good hearing from the English state and the resources to fight a successful legal and public campaign to protect their gains which trumpeted the now often fused notion of commercial and constitutional freedom. They ultimately discredited the East India Company in parliament, and helped establish a new, more accessible East India Company. The support they received from Siamese state officials was critical to this outcome. A revived East India Company emerged, however, from these deliberations more powerful in Britain and Asia than ever before because it co-opted the interloping forces within it and negotiated with regulators to broaden its base of investment and constrain opposition.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) has been traditionally employed in south East Asia as well as India and China for treatment of nausea, asthma, fever, vomiting, cough, constipation, pain, arthritis, inflammation, etc. This chapter discusses the phytochemical composition and pharmacological studies of ginger extracts, ginger essential oil (GEO), and active bioactive constituents. The essential oil of fresh and dry ginger was ranged between 0.2% - 2.62% and 0.72% - 4.17% respectively. The bioactive constituent zingiberene, β-sesquiphellandrene, curcumene, β-bisabolene, β-farnesene, camphene, and gingerol and shogal are the major constituents in ginger extracts. These compounds are chief bioactive substances responsible for pharmacological activities such antioxidant, antidiabetic, anticancer, anticoagulant, antiradiation, anti-inflammatory, gastrointestinal, antimicrobial, cardiovascular, anti-obesity, and weight loss effects. Future research needs to investigate the suitable duration, maximum dosage of ginger, concerns of overdosage, and its side effects in animal models and humans.

Full textAbstract:
Focusing on the exemplary figures of Nur-ud-Din Husain of Bharuch, Yusuf Moorghay of Bombay, and Shaikh Ahmad of Pune, this chapter introduces three characters who occupied the office of qazi in western India during the first half of the nineteenth century. It highlights their family origins, professional backgrounds, and prolonged engagement with judicial department officials. After briefly describing government regulations relating to qazis from late-eighteenth century Bengal (and demonstrating how those regulations approached, employed, and redefined the qazi’s office), the chapter turns to the Bombay Presidency to understand why Company officials and local qazis remained invested in the qazi’s office and how that investment extended and complicated East India Company rule in western India. Qazis were not the only officeholders to complicate the trajectory of colonial rule, to expose the hypocrisies of colonial governance and its rule-of-law discourse, or to draw attention to the inconsistencies of religious difference and secular universality, but they were unique in their ubiquity from the eighteenth, through the nineteenth, and into the twentieth century. The chapter provides an unrivaled perspective on the experience of colonial legal change not from the vantage of law makers and legislators but from that of ordinary individuals.

Abstract Many French officials, especially those within the French Navy, continued to regard India as a realistic venue for military action against Britain after the Seven Years’ War. These actors sought a “revolution of India” that would overthrow British rule in collaboration with Indian powers such as the Maratha Confederacy or the kingdom of Mysore. Their projects were avowedly predicated on a rejection of territorial conquest and a desire to return the Indian subcontinent to its rightful rulers, while securing protection for French trade. These officials rejected the corporate sovereign model offered by the East India Company, as commercial actors could not be trusted with military strategy. As these ideas influenced the abortive French war effort in the Indian Ocean during the American Revolution, high-ranking officials in the French Navy, such as the Maréchal de Castries, began to see a limited but state-controlled company as a means of developing military infrastructure in India to prepare for future war.

This chapter examines debates over abolishing the qazi’s office that unfolded toward the middle of the nineteenth century. After working for decades to bring appointees under its control, East India Company officials increasingly came to view the qazi’s office as superfluous and unnecessary, which supported their plans to abolish the office. Yet as prominent Muslim social reformers like Nawab ʿAbdul Latif and Sayyid Ahmad Khan pointed out, abrogating the government’s involvement in the appointment of local qazis created all kinds of confusion—most notably within the sphere of Muslim marriages and divorces. After turning briefly to these legislators’ involvement in the definition of Islamic law, this chapter examines the rhetorical construction of Muslim marriage as a site of legal uncertainty and supposed social backwardness that required government intervention. The legislation that emerged from these debates, the Kazis’ Act (Act XII) of 1880 re-employed local qazis as record-keepers and presented state-sponsored record-keeping as an administrative solution to the social problems surrounding Muslims’ marital status. Yet rather than solving these socio-familial problems, administrative involvement further complicated the relationship between religion, law, and the family in British India and, as the chapter’s final section suggests, across the empire.

Focusing on the role of atrocity facilitators, particularly colonial officials and the British government, in the governmentalization of torture by the police and other officials in colonial India, this chapter examines the ways in which, following the transfer of India’s governance from the East India Company to the Crown in 1858, the extra-legal violence of torture became systematized as a technology of colonial rule. Beginning with an analysis of what led to the perpetration of torture by state officials, the existence of which had long been known in both India and Britain, to erupt into scandal in 1854, the chapter interrogates how the commission set up to investigate torture led to the emergence of a new facilitatory discourse that served both to deny the existence of torture and the structural violence that underpinned it, as well as to displace blame for it from the colonial regime to its Indian subordinates. The chapter further explores how police reform in the commission’s aftermath was designed not to eradicate torture or ensure the welfare of the Indian populace but to safeguard the coercive and terrorizing powers of the colonial state

Abstract The background to the intense fashion for Indian songs and instruments that swept through Anglo-Indian society in the 1780s lies in the expansion of the East India Company ‘s interests into the central and northern provinces of lndia. It is noteworthy that although Indian tunes were performed and published in Calcutta, they were rarely collected there. Calcutta was perceived as what it was—an English creation. To experience truly ‘authentic ‘ Indian culture, it was widely recognized that a journey inland would be necessary, and an ideal location existed—the kingdom of Oudh. A voyage of two or three months up the Ganges, at the leisurely tourist rate of progress, would bring the visitor to the historic cities of Benares and Luck now, the Company’s most important inland stations. The strategic importance of the kingdom of Oudh grew even as the Mughal Empire waned. At first, the Company regarded Oudh as a valuable buffer state, which offered protection to its possessions in Bengal from the potentially serious threat posed by the Marathas. A delicate balance had to be maintained. Oudh needed to be strong enough to hold up the advance of an aggressor, yet not so strong as to pose a threat itself to the Company in Bengal. One solution was to maintain troops in the region, which the Company began to do during the reign of Shuja-ud-Daulah. His successor Asuf-ud-Daulah was a weaker ruler, who came to be regarded by the English as a libertine with no aptitude for serious government. Company officials thus began to assume a much more active role in ordering the affairs of state. The maintenance of a public show of good relations was now regarded as a top priority, and social intercourse with the Indian nabob and his chief ministers became an important symbol of policy.

Abstract This chapter traces British attempts to secure Rash Behari Bose’s deportation from Japan and shows how Japanese nationalists, chaffing at their country’s perceived subservience to British interests, spirited Bose into hiding in a popular bakery in Tokyo. British officials did not take Bose’s disappearance lightly, and the continued threat posed by him and by other Indian revolutionaries from San Francisco to Singapore stimulated an unprecedented expansion of imperial intelligence services across what was then known as the “Far East.”

Observations from a study tour of Bangladesh and Indonesia on their family welfare programme. Population Council, 1998. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1998.1043.
Full textAbstract:
Bangladesh has a successful family planning (FP) program and has succeeded in bringing about a demographic transition at a much faster rate than many of its neighboring countries. The contraceptive prevalence rate in Bangladesh increased from 3 percent in 1971 to 45 percent in 1993, and the fertility rate decreased from 7.0 to 3.4 births per woman during the same period. This reflects the effort that the Government of Bangladesh, with the help of international agencies, has made to educate couples about FP and increase access and choice of contraceptive methods, even in remote areas. Another predominantly Muslim country that has achieved remarkable success in FP is Indonesia which has had unprecedented economic growth in recent years. A visit to these countries to study their FP programs provided opportunities to closely observe activities that have contributed to this success. The Population Council, under the Asia and Near East Operations Research and Technical Assistance (ANE OR/TA) project funded by USAID, organized a study tour of Bangladesh and Indonesia for Indian officials, and results are provided in this report.
