Subject: [Announcements] Public Health and the City

Dear Friends:

PUKAR cordially invites its Associates, Advisors, and friends to a 
discussion on "Public Health and the City", with presentations by:

NEHA MADHIWALA
PhD Candidate, Mumbai University Dept of Sociology
Senior Research Officer, CEHAT, Mumbai

SVATI SHAH
PhD Candidate, Columbia University Depts of Anthropology and Public 
Health, U.S.A.

NEHA MADHIWALA has been pursuing her PhD at the Department of 
Sociology, University of Mumbai since June 2000. She has worked as a 
senior research officer in the Centre for Enquiry in Health and 
Allied Themes (CEHAT), Mumbai between 1996 and 2000, and from 2001 
onwards. She will share her experiences of working on health issues 
in Mumbai. Urban health issues in India fall between the cracks of 
public health policy. There is no clear model into which one can 
situate the existing reality of India's cities. To unravel the 
complexity of urban health, one must understand the paradox created 
by a medical sector which exists in a highly developed market -- 
which mesmerises professionals and lay-persons alike, but whose 
dynamic excludes the most vulnerable, and makes it impossible for 
larger community-based public health solutions to emerge.

SVATI SHAH is a PhD candidate in Columbia University's joint 
programme in Public Health and Anthropology. Her dissertation work is 
on migration, sex  work and gender in the Mumbai construction
industry. This paper will provide a brief description of preliminary 
findings on sex work among women in the construction industry in Navi 
Mumbai. Intersections with health issues on the ground will be 
discussed in the context of the growing NGO market for HIV/AIDS 
related interventions among poor migrant labourers. The field 
research will also be connected with issues of sexuality, agency and 
broad categories such as "feminization of migrancy" being adopted by 
international funders and the Breton Woods organizations.

Date:
SATURDAY 26 OCTOBER 2002
6.00 p.m. to 8.00 p.m.

The BOMBAY PAPERIE

Subject: [Announcements] Concert - "SECULAR TRADITIONS IN HINDUSTANI MUSIC"

October 9, 2002                                          

My dear friends,

Let me very cordially invite you for a rare evening of MUSIC : 
‘SECULAR TRADITIONS IN HINDUSTANI MUSIC’.
 based on poetry, on October 19 at 6 p.m., in the Conference Hall of our Academy.

The Musical Programme will be presented by Dr. Subhendu Ghosh,
 with his group.
This is a musical narrative of the history of Hindustani poetry. The programme features various poets in an historical order from 13th century to the present day. The idea of this musical journey is to highlight the fact that the poetry and music the people of India have loved over centuries uphold secularism and human values. 

The narrative includes Hazrat Amir Khusro, Kabir, Lalan Faqir (the legend of Bengali folk music), Nazeer Akbarabadi (the sufi poet who talked about realism), the tribal poets (narrating the life of the martyr Birsa Munda), Ramprasad Bismil (the author of Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna), Kazi Nazrul Islam (the revolutionary poet of Bengal), Faiz Ahmed Faiz (the legend of Urdu poetry from Lahore), Sahir Ludhianwi and the contemporary poet Gorakh Pandey (Bhojpuri). 

While each poet is introduced / discussed a representative poetry of the same poet is musically recited. Most of the music compositions are by Subhendu based on Hindustani & Carnatic Ragas where various musical forms like ghazal, dadra, bhajan, geet, qawali have been used. However, the folk songs are sung in the traditional tunes. 

Our Academy is just opposite Gate No. 2 of Siri Fort Auditorium.

Do come, please!

With Regards,

AJEET COUR
