> A dozen years into the new millennium, what does it mean to be a
> cosmopolitan? As noted by philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah, the term can
> be traced to the Cynics in fourth century BC who coined the term to simply
> mean "a citizen of the cosmos." In the eighteenth century, Western
> Enlightenment thinkers reimagined the ideal cosmopolitan to be a
> citizen-subject of the world with a shared moral responsibility to a
> greater humanity. In its latest economic iteration, a cosmopolitan
> suggests a savvy citizen-consumer with the social capital to traverse
> through different cultural terrains. And in the work of James Ferguson,
> cosmopolitanism is a "style" of cultural practices that distances the
> practitioner from the "local" and the attending claims and expectations in
> an attempt to seek "worldliness at home."
>
> Moreover, it is a "style" performed with intention and significantly
> shaped by the shifting context of micropolitical economic forces. In this
> panel, we are focusing on how cosmopolitanism as a "cultural style"
> becomes a touchstone for emerging class and cultural identities, as well
> as a register of social fragmentation in China and India. As capitalism in
> its heterogeneous forms enfolds more societies into worlds of consumption
> and market rationality, China and India are not only the most prominent
> sources of labor for the global economy; their emergent middle classes are
> viewed as the largest and most promising consumer markets in the new
> millennium. The affinities and divergences in the development trajectories
> of China and India offer a critical comparative opportunity for the study
> of urban-rural divisions, class formation, citizenship rights, and
> cultural production. We seek papers that examine the grounded, translocal
> practices of Chinese and Indians espousing cosmopolitan values,
> sensibilities, motives, and aspirations as acts of self-fashioning or
> collective identification, and belonging or refusal of belonging. Our
> inquiry approaches cosmopolitans and cosmopolitanisms not as fully
> determined identities or distinctive sets of practices traceable to a
> specific point of origin, but as open-ended identifications and a range of
> social action continually in flux in a complex social field of
> signification.
>
> Papers can address but need not be limited to the following topics:
>
> * Class relations, social responsibility, and philanthropy
> * Urban and rural spaces, politics of access or exclusion,
> revitalization campaigns
> * Labor practices, professionalization, "multicultural" work

> since 2005, has led to a rapid meltdown in the Sino- Indian border talks,

> that a border settlement, without major Indian territorial concessions,
> has the risk of augmenting India's relative power position in the
> neighbourhood and in the global diplomacy and thus can impact negatively
> on China's rise and influence.
>
> The prospects of a negotiated settlement in the near future though appear
> to be remote yet remains the only viable alternative though with the
> unsettled border problem China unduly enjoys the strategic leverage to
> keep India guessing about its in­tentions and nervous about its future
> actions and capabilities while it also exposes India's vulnerabilities and
> weaknesses and thus ensures India's friendly disposure on issues of vital
> concern to China.
>
> It is also widely felt that even after the territorial dispute has been
> resolved, China and India would still be in a competitive relationship
> with each other as caught in the Dragon's triangle. Besides the
> territorial dispute, the nature of China's relationship with India's
> neighbours in South Asia and provision of liberal military assistance to
> them, the remnants of Cold War alignments (Beijing-Islamabad-Washington
> versus the Moscow– New Delhi axis); continuing disturbances over the
> question of Tibet and Kashmir; China's involvement in its immediate
> neighbourhood, what India naturally regards as its zone of influence;
> Beijing's continuous interest for establishing its naval presence in the
> Indian Ocean; competition over scarce resources including sharing of
> waters of Brahmaputra River ; power asymmetry and the never ending quest
> for a supremacy of the leadership over each other in several developing
> world and multilateral forums; and, more recently, suspicion over China's
> secret assistance to Pakistan for nuclear weapons , have exacerbated the
> already fractious and uneasy relationship that existed between the two so
> far.
>
> With Beijing treating South and Southeast Asia as its spheres of influence
> , adopting a balance- of-power approach in interstate relations and India
> as its main obstacle to achieving its strategic objective of regional
> supremacy in Asia threatens the regional peace and security scenario and
> poses great danger to the states in the vicinity.
>
> With India treating the Sino- Pakistani nexus, in particular, as hostile
> and threaten­ing in nature, the "strategic space" in which India
> traditionally was active having become increas­ingly constricted due to
> Chinese penetration as evident from Beijing's forays into Myanmar (Burma)
> and the Bay of Bengal in the 1990s now presents the spectre of the so
> called global power rivalry which may flare up to large scale military
> tensions in the region and also will endanger the world peace and

Paying special attention to the rise of Buddhist practice in the West, Habito introduces the novice to Buddhist experience in its historical unity and the variety of traditions that reflect its essence. Integrated into Habito's text are five personal accounts by practicing Buddhists: on being a Therevada Buddhist by the Venerable Dhammananda, Dr. Chatsumarn Kabilsing; on being a Zen Buddhist by Jan Chozen Bays; on being a Tibetan Buddhist by Judith Simmer Brown; on being a Pure Land Buddhist by Kenneth Tanaka; and on living the Lotus by Virginia Straus

 

17. Nagarjuna & the Philosophy of Openness/ Nancy McCagney/ Rs. 400

 

 Nancy McCagney demonstrates that the concept of space ('akasa') in early Indian Mahayana Buddhism is the root metaphor for Nagarjuna's understanding of 'sunyata', or openness. Nagarjuna's use of the term 'sunyata' was new, and contrasted with the word's use in Pali Buddhist literature. By using the word to mean 'openness,' Nagarjuna was able to elucidate, through a deeper analysis of impermanence, a consistent philosophical foundation for the truth and efficacy of Gautama's Middle Way. McCagney's book will be important for those studying Indian philosophy, Buddhism, and the philosophy of religion.

 

18. Mediating the Power of Buddhas- Ritual in the  Manjusrimulakalpa / Glenn Wallis/   Rs. 600

 

Analyzes a seventh-century ritual manual that provides both a rich source of information of medieval Buddhist life and addresses the ongoing concern of how an adherent can encounter the power of a buddha.

Mediating the Power of Buddhas
offers a fascinating analysis of the seventh-century ritual manual, the Mañjusrimulakalpa. This medieval text is intended to reveal the path into a ritual universe where the power of a buddha abides. Author Glenn Wallis traces the strategies of the Mañjusrimulakalpa to enable its committed reader to perfect the promised ritual, uncovering what conditions must be met for ritual practice to succeed and what personal characteristics practitioners must possess in order to realize the ritual intentions of the Buddhist community. The manual itself was written at a key point in Buddhist history, one when Hindu forms of practice were still imitated and on the cusp of the shift from Mahayana to Vajrayana (or Tantric) Buddhism. In addition, the Mañjusrimulakalpa presents a rich compendium of Buddhist life in an earlier era, containing information on a variety of its readers' concerns: astrology, astronomy, medicine and healing, ritual practice, iconography, devotion, and meditation.
