English and French approaches to personal laws in South India, 1700-1850Reyes, A. F. T. January 1986 (has links)
The dissertation compares the attitudes taken by English and French lawyers towards the administration of personal law systems in early colonial Madras and Pondicherry respectively. The account focusses on civil, rather than criminal, institutions. <i>A. English Law</i> <i>Chapter I</i>. During the eighteenth century, the East India Company encouraged Indians to settle their own disputes. Paradoxically, the English Mayor's Court in Madras town found itself overwhelmed by Indian litigation, which it was ill-qualified to resolve. Outside of Madras, the Company relied on its revenue collectors to settle disputes among Indians, despite pressure from the Directors in London to establish a more formal judicial system. <i>Chapter II</i>. The tenure of Sir Thomas Strange, first Chief Justice of Madras, is examined. The chapter concludes with an assessment of English approaches to the Hindu law of adoption shortly before and after 1800, by way of an illustration of a new confident style of developing personal law systems. <i>B. French Law</i> <i>Chapter III</i>. The development of the French judicial establishment of Pondicherry is traced from 1701 to 1842. During the early stages of French rule, a wide variety of Indian disputes were deemed to be questions of police and not considered within the competence of the civil courts. Gradually, the jurisdiction of the Bureau de Police diminished, as the French became more settled. <i>Chapter IV</i>. The early sources of Franco-Hindu law are enumerated. The opinions of the Comite Consultatif de Jurisprudence Indienne, the jurisprudence of the civil courts, and the doctrinal writings of Pondicherry lawyers are evaluated. <i>C. Studies in English and French Hindu Law</i> <i>Chapter V</i>. Testaments were believed by nineteenth century English and French lawyers to be unknown to Hindus prior to the advent of Europeans. The chapter compares the development of the law of wills in Madras and Pondicherry. <i>Chapter VI</i>. Given the synthetic nature of Anglo- and Franco-Hindu laws, to what extent can Europeans be said to have shaped the law of debt to their advantage? The chapter looks at doctrine and case law in answering this question. The dissertation concludes with a brief summary of the extent to which legal tradition conditioned the development of personal laws in South India.

Cultural factors in housing : building a conceptual model for reference in the Indian contextKumar, Karunambika January 1996 (has links)
This paper presents a conceptual framework of important cultural values, activity patterns and environmental patterns in the home environment of a typical middle-income family in Madras a South Indian City. The position of this paper is that cultural variables should play an important part in determining the form of housing; they should be explicitly accounted for and values should be related to the different components of the built environment. This framework is intended to serve as a guide suggesting programmatic criteria for design of culturally-responsive housing. As it relates abstract values to components of the built environment, and design patterns, the framework includes descriptive graphics and images.The main body of the framework is a summary of societal and activity patterns, and elements of design. A descriptive analysis of societal and family patterns looks at the interactions between society, family and the individual. Activity patterns in and around the home with their symbolic associations are examined in detail. Implications for the home environment are drawn from the observations made in these sections. This is followed by a look at the elements of design that have been manipulated in existing house forms to create culturally appropriate environments.The concluding part of the framework presents a way in which the earlier observations can be assimilated into the design process. A sample set of environmental patterns are presented using images, with their cultural purpose, design descriptions and variants. This is followed by a matrix where family types, individual roles and activities are related to the environmental qualities and in some cases to sample environmental patterns.The research involved anthropological studies for an understanding of the cultural elements like family and kinship structure, myths and beliefs, values and priorities, etc., in the Indian context. Analysis of changing house forms in response to social and cultural changes in history, and designs of culture sensitive architects, helped to identify the environmental components that relate to specific values. Christopher Alexander's idea of `patterns' was used as a tool to translate abstract cultural criteria into recognizable environmental settings. / Department of Architecture

Student Slang at IIT Madras: a Linguistic Field StudyRichter, Evelyn 20 February 2006 (has links) (PDF)
Students at a certain university often develop their own in-group language which only insiders will understand. This phenomenon is very distinctive in IIT Madras. My MA thesis tries to describe and classify the student slang spoken at IIT Madras. This classification is done according to etymological origin and applied word formation patterns on the one hand and according to context in which the terms are used on the other. The results are based on three questionnaires conducted at IIT Madras and via email correspondence.
