Yet an illusion is often maintained whereby the 'invention' is placed within the mainstream of tradition itself. This essay discusses the more seemingly 'creative' inventions of tradition that have been implemented by our artists, directors and 'experts' in the Indian theatre. Much of the discussion focuses on the discourse of theatre, in which concepts of the folk' and the 'theatre of roots' are examined as inventipns of the urban intelligentsia.","PeriodicalId":53574,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Political Weekly","volume":"2014 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82721975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fundamental institutional reform has taken place amounting to a 'de-collectivisation' of the peasantry comparable in importance to the ' collectivisation' in the mid- 1950s. A cornerstone of the 'Maoist model' of development was the rural collective structure. It appeared to many outside observers that China under Mao had been remarkably successful in evolving farm institutions that were capable of attaining rapid farm modernisation with a lower degree of inequality than existed in capitalist settings.","PeriodicalId":53574,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Political Weekly","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91161361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kunwar Rajendra Singh, of the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, offers in this trim handsome volume a detailed, sharp analysis of the arms transfers to the Gulf states in the 1970s and some perceptive suggestions on how to introduce a certain measure of arms control in that volatile region. The Persian Gulf has acquired unusual importance for India's security and national interest. Indeed the two geopolitical areas of the Gulf and South Asia have been telescoped into a single geostrategic area in the last decade, although at present the Reagan administration is trying to create a new strategic area concept called Southwestern Asia which, in Washington's current military oriented perception, extends from Egypt to Pakistan. Whatever may be the US intentions, it is in India's interest to develop in our universities and research centres serious studies of the political, social, economic, strategic and military aspects of the Persian Gulf region and its individual members. Unfortunately, we have only a handful of scholars specialising in Gulf affairs. Among them K R Singh stands out with his research and analysis, his published books and papers.","PeriodicalId":53574,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Political Weekly","volume":"195 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72777828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
