A path of learning : Indo-Tibetan Buddhism as educationMacPherson, Sonia 05 1900 (has links)
This study chronicles a non-modern pedagogical tradition, Indo-Tibetan
(Gelugpa) Buddhist education, as it negotiates a modern, global context in exile in
India. As an enlightenment tradition, Buddhism emphasizes investigative inquiry
over scriptural orthodoxy and belief, making it compatible with some aspects of
modern, secular culture. This is a study of the relationship between these two
educational cultures within one educational institution—Dolma Ling Nunnery and
Institute of Dialectics in the Indian Himalayas. The text itself is arranged in the form
of a mandala, which is divided into five sections or stages of learning: intention, path,
inference, experience, and realization.
The intention section highlights the value of cultural and educational diversity,
and includes a brief synopsis of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist educational history. The path
section describes specific Buddhist approaches to ethnography and social research.
The inference chapter is the empirical (ethnographic) component of the study, and
considers the practice of dialectical debate as a case of what Wittgenstein called a
"language game." This chapter includes photographic documentation and the text of
a public (Western-style) debate held at Dolma Ling on the subject of the merits of
their traditional debate system. The experience chapter considers the unique role of
direct perception (experience) in Buddhism, and how it can be educated through
combined meditational and testimonial practices.
The author explores the tendency to segregate experiential from rational paths,
especially when liminal experiences of suffering, bliss, and death are involved. She
concludes that such experiences strain our powers of reason and, in some cases,
representation, resulting in a tendency to marginalize such experiences within formal,
rational education systems and their knowledge bases. Narrative, poetic, and direct
experiential methods of meditation are better suited to deal with these subjects. The
"realization" chapter discusses conceptions of realization, praxis and embodiment,
that is, rational inferences translated into direct experience and action, as of particular
relevance to educators. In the Buddhist view, such realizations are the desired end of
all inquiry. This end is accomplished through creative and direct "conversations"
(testimonies, dialogues) between reason and direct experience on the path of learning.

Party politics in a non-western democracy : a test of competing theories of party system change, government formation and government stability in IndiaNikolenyi, Csaba 05 1900 (has links)
The dissertation will address the ongoing debate in Comparative Politics about the
virtues and pathologies of rational choice theory by testing competing hypotheses and
predictions to account for three aspects of party politics in India: the transformation of the
Indian political party system from a predominant to an even multiparty system; the
politics of government formation; and the politics of government stability.
Overall, the dissertation will pursue two arguments. First, rational choice models
and predictions can account for the empirical cases more consistently than hypotheses
and predictions derived from other paradigms. Second, by using India as the case on
which to test competing theories, it will be shown that non-Western political phenomena
are not sui generis and they may be accounted for in terms of comparative theory the
same way as Western phenomena have been.

Goals, strategies and performance of Indian socialist planning in relation to agriculture and population : a need for modificationPandya, M. S. January 1983 (has links)
The argument of this dissertation is that the Indian socialist system, intended to speed industrialization and to improve the underdeveloped colonial economy, has failed todevelop agriculture and to curb the growth of population has thus had a serious adverse effect on the poor Indian citizens whom it was designed to help. The dissertation consists of five chapters. Chapter One gives background on the development of Indian socialism and shows how it branched into Gandhian and Nehruite forms and how the Nehruite form came to dominate during the post-independence period. It also describes the government's industrial policy, that was developed to guide India's future industrial development in line with the socialist goals. Chapter Two discusses two interelated aspects of Indian economic planning: (1) the formation of a planning system with National Commission as its advisory body and the development of the system's long-term objectives and goals; (2) the construction of the five-year plans and their over-all performance. This chapter thus gives a comprehensive picture of official Indian economic policies, and culminating in the six five-year plans begun in 1951, and distinguishes their successes and failures. Chapter Three examines the development and expansion of agriculture under the British India, and then it reviews the government's efforts to improve agriculture, its land-reform policies, the allocation of funds in the five-year plans, the status of peasants, and the food production in the thirty years of planning. Linking agriculture to population, Chapter Four surveys population growth, its causes, and the government's efforts to restrain it. The last section of this chapter investigates the casual connection between population and economy, specifically agricultural economy. Finally, Chapter Five examines the intertwining effects of agriculture and population on the national economy and on the socialist objective itself, pinpoints the planners' mistakes in ignoring these two factors, and recommends some changes to improve agriculture production, to better the peasants' condition, rejuvenate the village economy and to expand employment opportunities for the masses--all to bring India closer to its long-cherished socialist goals.

Crafting consensus in the third world : strategy formation in the third sectorSrinivas, Nidhi. January 2001 (has links)
There has during a rapid growth of third sector organizations (TSOs) in the third world during the 1990s. Such growth has occurred during a period of severe cutbacks in state investment as well as rapid globalization of trade. Social activists have often organized TSOs in these countries as an alternative to private and public organizations. However the question of how leaders and managers of these TSOs sustain their activities remains important. Their dilemma of help is the focus of this study. / Through a study of strategy formation in three third sector organizations in the third world, this study focuses on how TSOs can be sustainable yet effective change agents. It develops a typology of TSOs with particular attention to type of third sector activity (operating, support, community), type of organizational form (Grassroots initiatives, Grassroots Organizations, Grassroots Federations, Development Support Organizations and International Development Support Organizations) and dominant strategy approach (domain, distinctiveness, and design). This study argues that attention to these three aspects needs to be complemented by exploring the processes through which strategies form in these organizations. / Accordingly the strategy process in three TSOs in South India was examined, in particular the origin of the strategy, tactics of consensus, and interests of participants. Examining the strategy process in TSOs revealed that strategies originated in intent or event, promoters' consensus-tactics were conceived or improvised and participant's interests were fixed or shifting. / These findings on strategy process show varied origins, interests and consensus tactics in TSOs. They also seem to be associated with particular capacities in these organizations to perform their chosen activities, as well as with changes in mission. The study concludes with a discussion of the significance of these findings and a call for bridging the literatures on good management and effective social change, for further researching capacity building in TSOs, and encouraging initiatives for cross sector learning.
