Culture is the shared characteristics and knowledge of a group, including language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts. It is a social product that varies between societies and is learned and transmitted among members. Culture has both material aspects like tools and buildings, as well as non-material aspects like beliefs, values, and social norms. A society is a group of people with common territory, interaction, and culture. It socializes members, endures over generations, holds people together through a shared culture, and has defined functions like meeting basic needs and regulating behavior.

These approaches offer ways of looking at society from different perspectives. Marxism is one theoretical approach that is associated with conflict theory. It asserts that society is divided into classes that are in conflict with each other. Marxism views history as a result of conflicts caused by material needs. It sees society progressing through stages from primitive communism to capitalism and eventually communism, where there are no classes. Key concepts in Marxism include historical materialism, alienation, surplus value, false consciousness, and praxis. Marxism aims to challenge the status quo and encourage social change to abolish social classes.

Media globalisation and cultural imperialismMira K Desai
This document summarizes the key ideas in an article about cultural imperialism and contrary evidence from Indian television. It discusses how early theories of cultural imperialism assumed Western dominance through media but that globalization has led to more complex flows and localization. It provides examples from Indian television, like the rise of ZEE reaching 169 countries, licensing Indian shows abroad, and Indian content serving global audiences in different ways. The document examines arguments for both cultural imperialism and contrary evidence from factors like national policies, markets, and hybridization in cultures today.
Information and communications
technologies (ICTs) are different tools
and technologies to transmit information
and communicate with the community
(one to one or in groups). Through the
use of computers and interconnected
networks it provides a feasible and
accurate platform to increase the mobility
of information for different issues and
exchange of knowledge.
Lesson 16 Communication Media Channels.pptxPaulineMae5
This document discusses communication media channels and evaluating communication effectiveness. It defines different types of media like mass media, new media, social media, and telecommunication. Mass media transmits standardized messages to a wide audience using platforms like newspapers, magazines, radio, and television. New media and social media allow for more two-way dialogue on social networking sites and blogs. Telecommunication refers to transmitting information over long distances using technologies like phones and broadcast networks. The document also explains the functions of the Philippines' National Telecommunications Commission which regulates the telecommunications sector. Conducting needs assessments and monitoring & evaluating communication helps ensure effective message transmission and interpretation.
The document summarizes the work and ideas of Néstor García Canclini, an Argentine academic known for theorizing the concept of "hybridity." Some key points:
- García Canclini got his PhD from University of Paris X and currently works in Mexico City, directing urban culture studies.
- His books include "Hybrid Cultures" and "Consumers and Citizens," which discuss how mass media have contributed to a reshaping of Latin American cultures rather than erasing local forms of expression.
- He believes cultures are becoming "hybrid" through a mixing of local traditions and global influences, and sees this as contributing to understanding failures in certain political models based on modern notions of autonomy
A trend gains momentum over time, stabilizing into a habit or lifestyle. It seeks to innovate and solve problems. A fad is short-lived, driven by novelty. Trends have sustained behavior while fads are intense but brief. Trends meet needs while fads rely on coolness. Trends grow steadily while fads appear and disappear suddenly. Trends can cross industries while fads are limited in scope. Factors shaping trends include human needs, history, globalization, and digital connectivity enabling information sharing worldwide.
Participation is the act of participating, or being related to a larger whole.
Participation means the act of sharing, involving in any activity.
Another word for this is involvement. A person can enjoy participation in a club, a celebration, or even a conversation
The document discusses the emergence of mass culture in the 19th century. It describes how mass culture became available to large populations through mass media like print, broadcast, and the internet. Mass culture serves to entertain and distract people, and modern economic development has given people free time and income to pay for entertainment. Mass culture faces criticism for its low quality productions that appeal to basic instincts rather than intellectual growth. However, mass culture also plays an important role in societal changes.
Communication technology allows information to be transferred more quickly and to more people than ever before. It offers both advantages like convenience and speed, but also disadvantages such as a lack of context without nonverbal cues. The document then provides a brief history of communication technologies from earliest use of carrier pigeons to the latest trends in green communications, molecular communications, and 5G networks.
Indigenous and traditional knowledge for adaptation: Addressing gender and ot...Tariq A. Deen
The session will discuss best practices and approaches for strengthening gender considerations and the use of indigenous and traditional knowledge in adaptation which are part of the guiding principles for the formulation and implementation of NAPs. Others principles are: a continuous planning process at the national level with iterative updates and outputs; country-owned, country-driven; not prescriptive, but flexible and based on country needs; building on and not duplicating existing adaptation efforts; participatory and transparent; enhancing coherence of adaptation and development planning; supported by comprehensive monitoring and review; considering vulnerable groups, communities and ecosystems; guided by best available science.
This document discusses the emergence of radicalism in geography as a critique of positivism and quantitative approaches. It began in the 1960s through the work of scholars like William Bunge, who advocated for fieldwork focused on understanding impoverished communities. Radical geographers aimed to expose issues like discrimination, inequality, and the failures of capitalism. They took a Marxist viewpoint and criticized notions of imperialism, ethnocentrism, and gender oppression. While radicalism brought important social issues into geography, it had limitations like a weak theoretical base and over-reliance on Marxism to explain spatial phenomena. The movement sparked debate between radical, humanist, and positivist geographers.
1) The document summarizes a study that investigated community members' knowledge, support, and perceived benefits of South Africa's post-apartheid land reform program in the rural Mtunzini area.
2) The study found that community members' knowledge of land reform predicts their support for the program, and their support depends on the expected benefits. They also perceive chiefs as having a role in land distribution.
3) Distributing land without financial support will not help beneficiaries. The study recommends more transparent education about land reform and policy to increase public support.

Reporting the Environment and Human Rights: Journalism in Indiainventionjournals
India has a great history of various successful environment movements. But every environment conflicts are not only the human negligence towards the environment. Often it became the conflict between two or more competing interest over the natural resources. In those conflicts, poor and minority people pushed to the margins who are generally victimized by the so called „developmental‟ project of society. This paper takes a deep insight how major environmental movements of India became the human rights movement of poor marginalised communities. It considers major environmental movements of India and analysis its journalistic discourse on human rights of marginalised people.
This document discusses development in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, India. It summarizes the exploitation of Uttarakhand's natural resources by colonial and post-independence governments, leading to a demand for a separate state. Even after statehood, exploitation has continued as development is framed by foreign organizations like the World Bank in a capitalist, neo-liberal framework that does not respect local languages, knowledge systems and needs. The document argues for analyzing development through decoding local languages to understand how reality is constructed differently.
1. The document examines begging in Dhaka City through a survey of 150 beggars, investigating their socioeconomic backgrounds, circumstances leading to begging, and livelihood patterns.
2. It finds that most beggars choose begging voluntarily due to poverty, lack of employment, disability, or old age, and rely on it as their primary means of survival. Daily incomes range from under 50 taka to over 300 taka.
3. The study aims to understand begging in Bangladesh in order to help transform beggars into productive members of society and ensure national progress. However, beggars currently face poor living standards, social isolation, and lack of access to resources.
This document discusses criteria for evaluating legal frameworks recognizing Indigenous land and resource rights. It examines three case studies in Canada using the criteria: the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline, the Inuvialuit land claim settlement, and the Lac La Ronge Indian Band's economic development without a land claim. Overall, Indigenous groups have gained influence over traditional lands through incorporating criteria like ownership and control of natural resources, though more progress is still needed in recognizing Indigenous rights to land and self-governance.

This document provides an overview of land acquisition acts and human rights issues related to development-induced displacement in India. It discusses several key points:
1) Millions of people have been displaced from their homes due to government land acquisition for "development purposes" and "greater good" under the doctrine of eminent domain, which is a violation of human rights.
2) Displacement disrupts people's livelihoods, cultural identities, and communities, often impoverishing tribal and ethnic groups who are disproportionately affected. Cash compensation alone is inadequate to rehabilitate displaced people.
3) Over 14 million people in four Indian states have been displaced over the last decade due to projects like mines, industries,

The ultimate goal of this paper is to broach some crucial information about the changing the livelihood status through petty enterprise among the lower caste people in South Asia. The paper has also assayed to provide the information about background of Dalit which is derived from the ancient Sanskrit dialect. Basically the word Dalit is the self picked and the political name in the sub continent. It intends to untouchable' for the most part of Dalit incorporated into the organization is utilizing as the words Schedule Caste SCs , Scheduled Tribes STs and other back word caste OBCs . First time the term Scheduled Caste CSs was utilized by the British government in the Government of India Act, 1935. Sociologically point of view SCs enduring the Stigma of untouchability and it was viewed as a hostile to sudras or Avarna in the Hindu Caste structure. But according to the Professor Gangadhar Pantawane, founder and editor of Asmitadarsh Mirror of Identity , the chief organ of Dalit literature, defines the word as follows, To me Dalit is not a caste. He is a man exploited by the social and economic traditions of this country. He does not believe in God, Rebirth, Soul, and Holy Books teaching separatism, Fate and Heaven because they have made him a slave. He does believe in humanism. Dalit is a symbol of change and revolution. Kushal Das Barthani | Mohammad Rubel | Md.

Role of Media in Jan Lokpal Movement: In the Perspective of Democracypaperpublications3
Abstract: Daily experiences with corruption were narrated with a pronounced bias towards the common irritants that the middle and upper strata face. Typically, delays in obtaining passports and business clearances were talked about, not the difficulties with getting names registered on daily muster rolls for the rural employment guarantee programme. The Anna Hazare group’s insistence that its conception of a vertically structured, rigidly hierarchical body was the only way to deal with corruption, generally escaped without serious scrutiny. The Indian scenario of the media and civil society seems hardly – by all accounts, in conformity with the broadly accepted and practiced parameters of a civil society of the developed countries, the western bloc particularly. Yet, there are obvious difficulties, both logical and ethical, in putting down the widening public ferment to media manipulation. People today are stirred up like never before over the quality of governance and willing to express themselves forcefully. And the 24-hour news channels that multiplied over the last half decade provide them with a platform.

Applied And Action Anthropology Korwa Rehabilitationguestd4d9e13
1. The document presents a case study of an applied and action anthropology intervention program among the Pahari Korwa tribe in Jashpur District, Chhattisgarh, India to better understand their socio-economic conditions and implement development programs.
2. The program was initiated in 1997 by an anthropologist to study the tribe's contemporary way of life, culture, ecology, and problems, and to carry out development projects to improve their lives.
3. Regular interaction and surveys were conducted to build trust and understand the tribe's issues, after which various government development programs were implemented with local support.
This document discusses the emergence of organized opposition groups to abandoned mine reclamation projects in Utah. Specifically, it profiles two Utah-based mine exploration groups - Gold Rush Expeditions (GRE) and Mojave Underground (MU) - that have actively campaigned against reclamation through letter writing, media coverage, and legal threats. While they portray themselves as focused on historic preservation and mine exploration, they encourage public access to hazardous mine sites and have taken a vocal political stance against reclamation. The document examines their tactics and influence on the Utah Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program.
The document analyzes the property rights and institutional arrangements of a man-made wetland in West Bengal, India. It was originally constructed and owned privately by landlord families, known as Pandas. They formed a local institution called "Gramin Soloana" to manage the wetland. Over time, as land reforms redistributed the Pandas' lands, local villagers also claimed rights over the wetland, dissolving the traditional management system. This led to overuse of the wetland's resources and conflict between stakeholders over access and control. Currently there is no clear management system, threatening the wetland's sustainability.
An Assessment of the Socio-economic Impact of Maiganga Resettlement Scheme, A...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
The document summarizes a study that assessed the socio-economic impact of a resettlement scheme in Maiganga, Nigeria due to coal mining. 976 people from 3 communities were resettled and provided with housing, infrastructure, and monetary compensation for lost farmland ranging from $36 to $536. However, the local communities claimed the compensation was inadequate and the company failed to fulfill promises. This led to a two week stoppage of mining work in 2014. The study recommends sustaining dialogue and making the provided school and health center functional.
This document summarizes a workshop and book on the law of public participation in mining and resource development. It outlines 18 studies that were presented at the workshop and will be published in the book. The studies analyze public participation laws, practices and trends at the international, regional and national levels. Some key points:
- There has been a large growth in public participation laws and requirements since the 1960s, particularly around access to information, participation in decision making, and access to justice.
- Many international laws and organizations now require or promote public participation in resource projects. This includes laws around indigenous rights, sustainable development, environmental protection and human rights.
- The studies analyze public participation from various perspectives, including international law,
1. Abstract
“Development”- central to the policy of the newly independent states in the postcolonial period.
Today, development a highly contested term - critiqued by various experts and movements who
have gone so far as to challenge its genesis and roots in history.
Yet, development remains one of the strongest concepts encountered in the “field” - strongly
desired and intensely resisted at the same time.
My research is an attempt to study impact of a mining project in Jharkhand, a mineral rich but
poor state of India, and locating it in this debate of development.
Jharkhand- history of a predatory loot of resources through mining activities.
Though there is plethora of research on exploitation of resources in Jharkhand, but there is lack of
empirical work on how project affected people experience such accumulation by dispossession.
This study mainly focuses on process of land acquisition and people’s experience of it. The data
has been collected through fieldwork in the Palamau district of Jharkhand.
2. Introduction
“Soche the company aayega to din bahur jayega, VIKAS hoga, par yahan to company zameen
barglaa ke hadap liya aur badle me laat jutta khila raha hai”
- Bachni Devi
Word “Development” - central to the policy of every country in post world war II period.
India no exception- policy since independence driven by “growth”, shift in 1991 era.
State claiming to be financially incapable invited private players.
Privatisation of natural resources - leading to displacement, dispossession and destruction of
natural resources.
Mass land acquisition, which is witnessing huge protest and phenomena has become pan-India
(Singur and Nandigram in WB, Forbesganj in Bihar , Jagatsinghpur in Orissa, Ghaziabad in UP
and Nagri In Jharkhand), as patterns are comparable.
3. contd.
Since the State invites private players it becomes obligatory on their part to offer
certain subsidy and concession.
Archaic Land Acquisition Act,1894 used for the purpose, now a new Act LARR
2013 has come into being.
Such model led to economic progress but also marked exodus of marginalised
population cross the globe, mining industry contributed heavily.
Today development model of India is highly contested due to rising inequality,
poverty, unemployment, poor health service, malnutrition and at the same time
rising number of billionaires making upto Forbes list.

Jharkhand- long history of predatory loot of resources- Displacement of
many but development of little.
Yet, development remains one of the strongest concepts encountered in
the “field” - strongly desired and intensely resisted at the same time.
Though there is plethora of research on exploitation of resources in
Jharkhand, but there is lack of empirical work on how project affected
people experience accumulation by dispossession.
An attempt is made to explore a localized understanding of
“development”with a special focus on process of land acquisition.

Conclusion
7. Literature Review
-Development was an idea coined by powerful forces from west to intervene in socio-political and
economic life of “Third world”, which included countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America, the
Caribbean and the South Pacific (Escobar, 2011)
The genesis of this discourse in India was also result of such global development and to
understand it we must analyse debate over colonial history.
There are two broad interpretation- a) Driven by Purposeful imperialism, b) Economically
motivated
A) Purposeful imperialism
- Colonialism was driven by white man’s burden of civilizing others, whom they perceived as
“primitive”
- This white men's burden explained in Said' orientalism which he calls a “systematic discipline by
which European culture was able to manage and even produce the orient politically,
sociologically, militarily, ideologically, scientifically, and imaginatively during postEnlightenment period” (Said, 1978:3)
-Calling development as “dynamic knowledge”, europeans acquired a legitimacy to rule over
south
8. Contd.
- In post colonial times mainly after post world war II period this was further
augmented through development discourse. As Said argues that Development
as discourse shares structural features with other colonizing discourses and it
“can be discussed and analyzed as the corporate institution for dealing with the
Orient—dealing with it by making statements about it, authorizing views of it,
describing it, by teaching it, settling it, ruling over it: in short, Orientalism as a
Western style for dominating, restructuring, and having authority over the
Orient.” (Said,1978)
- Alvares (1992) says that “development became a tool in hands of west for
substituting south’s psyches with new programmes borne out of western souls”.
Though idea of development ran parallel with rise of capitalism and modernity in
nineteenth century but its institutionalisation only started in post world war II
period and thus it is called as “the era of development” (Escobar, 2011), egTruman's speech
9. contd.
B) Economically motivated
Permanent Settlement Act, 1793- Zamindarimajor change in Land relationsState ownership of common resources
Such objective met through legal instrumentsLand Acquisition Act,1894(Gadgil & Guha,1992)
10. Contd.
In the neoliberal era such accumulation by dispossession
has caused unrest across the globe and India specifically
and has invited fierce protest (Sarangi, D. 2004).
Jharkhand being one of the richest state in terms of
mineral reserves has been one of the worst hit by
unscrupulous loot of minerals (Areeparampil, M. 1996)

12. Objectives
To understand the process of land acquisition in
terms of role played by different actors (State,
Private firms and project affected people), in order
to produce “localized” understanding of
development and development induced
development.
13. Research Questions
1. What is the role of state (including bureaucracy, media, police and political
parties) and non state actors in the process of land acquisition for a private
player?
2. How private industry engages itself in the process of land acquisition?
3. What are the spaces of democratic participation for project affected people in
the process of land acquisition?
4. What has been the experience of project affected people with such project?
5. Do aspiration towards development varies across different social groups?
14. Project at a glance
Usha martin- kathautia mines. The company has also received the mining lease rights
for two coal blocks located at Kathautia and Lohari (Palamau) in Jharkhand, having
estimated reserves of 30 MnT and 10 MnT respectively. Kathautia mine commenced
operation in fourth quarter of 2010. The coal is of a high-grade variety with less than
16% ash content and 6000 calories per kg, suitable for sponge iron production.
Aims to operate in 7 villages of Patan block in Palamau, Jharkhand. It aims to acquire
2345 acres of land
Protest since 2011 under the banner of Bhumi Adhigrahan Visthapana Sangharsh
Morcha”.

HC stay on land acquisition in 3 villages (Gadikhas, Batsara, Sikka)
15. Methodology
Qualitative research
As defined by Hakim, qualitative research provides the:
“‘individuals’ own accounts of their attitudes, motivations and
behaviour.(Hakim, C. 2000).
Exploratory Research
It is undertaken to better comprehend the nature of the
problem since very few studies might have been considered
in that area (Sekaran, U. 2003)
16. contd.
Importance of Exploratory research:
It is flexible and can address research questions
of all types (what, why, how). Exploratory research
provides an opportunity to define new terms and
clarify existing concepts. It is often used to
generate formal hypotheses and develop more
precise research problems. It help establish
research priorities. It may be used to check the
feasibility of a more extensive study
17. Data collection Tools
1. Primary
A) Interview (Indepth, unstructured and semistructured
B) Focussed Group Discussions
Total 16 indepth-interviews (9 project affected
people among them only 2 women, 3 company
officials, 2 district administration, 2 political
leaders and 2 FGDs (Both conducted with
women in two separate villages)
Stratified sample was taken by combination of
snowball Sampling and purposive sampling.
18. contd.
Secondary tools:
Newspaper archives, placards and photographs. These ephemeral sources
reveal both the changing dimensions of the movement as well as the different
meanings attributed to the same events by various stakeholders.
Data Analysis Plan:
Analysis proceeds by extracting themes or generalisations from evidence and
organizing data to present a coherent, consistent picture. These generalisations
can then be used to generate hypotheses.
19. Key Findings
- No alternate debate over present dominant
development discourse
- State oppression in connivance with private
firms
- Though illiteracy is prevalent but political
awareness is there, awareness about LARR 2013
- Favourable role of state actors in the process of
land acquisition for the benefit of private firm:
(Bureaucracy, Police, Political leaders, Media)
- Active role of non-state actors in the process of
land acquisition
20. contd.
- No appreciation for business opportunity, still
people vouch for sarkari naukri like CCL.
- Company has contributed to “Izzat”.
- Not against project but process, and want fair
deal (proper compensation)
21. Scope
Scope and Limitation
Since most of the studies on Jharkhand dealing with impact of mining projects
are quantitative in nature so this study tries to fill this void by making an attempt
to study through qualitative method. It tries to develop a localized understanding
of the issue, which hitherto are restricted to metanarratives. Different theories
applied in this study are only to contextualise the debate but the main focus is to
capture people’s perception and experiences.
Limitation
- Since the study is exploratory in nature and qualitative method is applied so
the findings can not be generalized.
- Looking at the population size and considering time constraint, it was not
possible to conduct random sampling (as 10% is required)
- Local Identity (Caste an important factor)
- Disturbing situation in the area (Rumour of thieves)
- Conspicious behaviour of company has led to strained relationship in the area
22. Ethical Concerns
Informed consent was taken before taking any
interview, clicking photographs and recording
videos
- Respondents were explained purpose of the
interview
- names of the respondent was withheld in cases
where they requested not to publish it.
- Favourtism was strictly avoided, false promise
were not made, unrealistic demands were politely
denied
