Conflict-induced migration in Kashmir: A phenomenological study of lived experiences of non-migrant Kashmiri Pandits

This interpretative phenomenological study addressed the question, “what are the lived experience of Non-Migrant Kashmiri Pandits who have witnessed the mass migration during the insurgency period of 1989 in Indian administered Kashmir?” Literature indicated that the insurgency of 1989 in Kashmir resulted in the mass migration of the Kashmiri Pandit population from the valley to Jammu and other parts of India. Current academic discourse about migrant Kashmiri Pandits highlights their social, economical, and psychological repercussions of migration however there is minimal exact work on non-migrant Kashmiri Pandits. This study captured the lived experiences of the non-migrant Kashmiri Pandit population. From the analysis of the data, four themes emerged were; A period of Victimization and Uncertainty, Perceived Isolation, Potential threat to Identity and, Kashmiriyat: Co-existence and brotherhood. Key findings from the study found that migration has caused severe injury to social, cultural, and religious identities of non-migrant Kashmiri Pandit. However, the inter-group relations with Kashmiri Muslim community was found to be positive source of living in Kashmir     

How do these Foreigners Blend in? Migration and Integration in Late Eighteenth-Century Antwerp (1715-92)

Whereas early modern migration history has been traditionally based on citizenship rolls, marriage registers, censuses and myriad other sources, this research explores the value of eyewitness reports before the Antwerp criminal court in the eighteenth century. On the face of things, these proceedings of the hoogere Vierschaer corroborate earlier findings. Due to the economic slump, Antwerp merely drew an endless stream of humble, unskilled labourers from its rural fringe; immigrants who were often relegated to the most menial, dirty and low-paid jobs. Acts of xenophobic violence against these new arrivals, who spoke a (slightly) different language or had different habits, were no exception. Most migrants seemed to have left town after they had saved a penny. Yet, the files of the Vierschaer also shed light on some slow-burn processes of integration, which have been less thoroughly scrutinized in the past. Some migrants blended smoothly into their new environment, by finding a permanent job (mostly as publican, peddler, or unskilled labourer); by mastering new skills (literacy and language); by seizing opportunities for (modest) social rise; or by establishing strong bonds with their new neighbours, friends, colleagues or parishioners. Findings also suggest that this integration process eventually stroke home.     

Ethnicity as an Exercise in Sport: European Immigrants,Soccer Fandom,and the Making of Canadian Multiculturalism, 1945–1979

Abstract

Ethnic sport offers an important and understudied lens into how newcomers – a key population on the social peripheries – negotiate their entry into host societies. Canada was among the top countries to receive European migrants after the Second World War. Soccer participation and fandom were a gateway in their resettlement and an axis for community formation, identity expression, economic advancement, and personal pleasure. This paper explores what four decades of ethnic soccer on the peripheries of post-war Toronto reveals about the local organization of immigrant life and the European newcomer’s mediated entry into English Canada. It demonstrates that Toronto soccer fans were sufficient in number and electoral voice to transform the urban politics of leisure and organization of social diversity, even as their leisure activities were still heavily contained by host institutions. Paradoxically, soccer’s straightjacketed role in Toronto as an ethnic social adhesive and platform for identity expression rendered it largely irrelevant to the general, more settled population, while its capacity to articulate ethnic differences made it a force and symbol of English Canada’s re-imagination as a multicultural society in the 1970s.

Migration to Intermediate XML for Electronic Data (MIXED)

MIXED is a digital preservation project. It uses a strategy of converting data to intermediate XML. In this paper we position this strategy with respect to the well-known emulation and migration strategies. Then we detail the MIXED strategy and explain why it is an optimized, economical way of migration. Finally, we describe how DANS is implementing a software tool that can perform the migrations needed for this strategy.

Factors that prevent children from gaining access to schooling: A study of Delhi slum households

This paper examines the factors that prevent slum children aged 5–14 from gaining access to schooling in light of the worsening urban poverty and sizable increase in rural-to-urban migration. Bias against social disadvantage in terms of gender and caste is not clearly manifested in schooling, while migrated children are less likely to attend school. I argue that the lack of preparation for schooling in the pre-schooling ages and school admission procedures are the main obstacles for migrated children. The most important implication for universal elementary education in urban India is raising parental awareness and simplifying the admission procedures.
