This document discusses diaspora, postcolonial theory, and feminist criticism. It defines diaspora as populations dispersed from their homeland who maintain connections to it. Postcolonial theory examines the literature, culture, and politics of formerly colonized regions and deals with themes of identity and belonging. Feminist criticism explores gender bias in literature and reexamines works from a feminist perspective. The roles of critics in these areas include rediscovering women authors, challenging views of women as "other," and examining representations of gender.
Postcolonial literature often addresses the problems and consequences of the decolonization of a country, especially questions relating to the political and cultural independence of formerly subjugated people, and themes such as racialism and colonialism. A range of literary theory has evolved around the subject.

The word ‘Subaltern’ stands for ‘of inferior rank’ or status. Subordinate, hence, of rank, power, authority and action. In other words, it refers to the subordination of class, caste, gender, race, language and culture. It also indicates to those groups in society who are subject to the domination of the ruling classes.In general, subaltern classes include peasants, workers and other groups who have been denied access to ‘hegemonic’ power.
Antonio Gramsci: Italian Marxist, best known for his elaboration of the concept of 'hegemony'. A founder of the Italian communist party (in 1921), he was imprisoned by the Fascists in 1926, and spent the remainder of his life under arrest. While in prison, and despite poor health, he continued to study and write. The Prison Notebooks (1929—1935), published only after the fall of Fascism, represent the core of his considerable contribution to Marxist theory. (Edgar, Sedgwick, 2002) ...........

The Circle of Place Spirituality: A Study of the African Diaspora in the Neth...Victor Counted
The presentation was a look at place as the product of an emotional attachment with God. Pearson Correlation Multiple Regression analyses were used to examine the relationship between the place attachment attitudes and attachment to God behaviours of members (n=175) of the African diaspora in the Netherlands. Analyses of the results allowed for clarification of two motivational systems identified within this circle of place spirituality, showing that experiencing God as a safe haven is quite likely to happen when the Netherlands is perceived as unsafe or insecure for members of the African diaspora living there.

Indians without Borders - The Indian diaspora can create tremendous value for...Parth Tewari
Thousands of people will gather in Delhi on 9 January 2003, to discuss the potential of a global community of Indians, to rejuvenate the bonds among overseas Indians, and to sensitize India about their issues and concerns. This is likely to be a terrific event. Yet, after the music is over and the speeches are made, after the awards are presented and friends united, there will remain the question that will only be answered one transaction at a time in the years to come: What is the economic and social basis for a sustainable partnership between India and its diaspora, and for a valuable network amongst the diaspora?
Economists believe that Indian GDP growth of 10 percent per year will require an increase in annual investment from 24 percent of GDP to 30 percent of GDP, and a doubling of labor and capital productivity. The Indian diaspora can help close India’s investment gap, raise productivity, and can also contribute in a number of other ways that make it a significant partner in India’s development. This paper lays out a framework for exploring the role of the Indian diaspora in India and independent of India.
The first chapter demonstrates that the diaspora wields commercial and social influence from its rising prosperity, its business and technical skills, its willingness to invest in India, as well as the value the network itself generates for its members. The diaspora, which is often considered a liability, a ‘Brain Drain’, is in fact a severely underutilized asset; it is a ‘Brain Trust’, to be leveraged.
The second chapter discusses how overseas Indians believe they can contribute to India’s development. They hope that India will welcome their involvement and recognize that they can be important contributors to India’s growth. The diaspora can and has already begun to partner with India in several ways: as investor, customer, supplier, ambassador, and philanthropist.
The third chapter argues that cultivating a partnership with the diaspora requires an ‘enabling environment’, i.e., creating a virtuous cycle that includes clear-headed economic, trade, and foreign policy; availability of labor, capital, technology, and business infrastructure; effective and efficient legal recourse; and demonstrable progress in quality of life. Although several efforts to develop partnerships with, and among, the diaspora are already underway, strong leaders, a win-win mindset, and sustained implementation can significantly accelerate growth.
The Indian diaspora has been the most effective window to promote India and its rich heritage to the world. Whether India will know how to transform the skilled component of the Indian diaspora's geographically-spread skills into a “Great Off-White Hope” for the new century; is a big question.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
