The Chickens of British Multiculturalism Come Home to Roost

Vol. 57, Issue No. 51, 17 Dec, 2022
Amir Ali

Rishi Sunak’s rise as British Prime Minister, the obsession with immigration, and the continuing dominance of Brexit are instances of the deep-seated problems of British politics, aggravated by over a decade of austerity. The British political establishment shows no signs of the profound political rethinking required in the aftermath of the damaging effects of Brexit.

Brexit is Not Just about Exiting the European Union: A Reading List

The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union is indicative of not only its own narrow self-perception but also of the rise of an anti-immigration and racist stance put forth by right-wing groups. */ */

Trump’s H-1B Visa Reforms and Indian Dreams

Vol. 52, Issue No. 39, 30 Sep, 2017
The Donald Trump administration’s proposal to review the H-1B visa stirred a hornet’s nest in India. Indians, especially IT professionals and engineers, are the main beneficiaries of this work permit issued to skilled foreign workers in the US. While fears are being expressed about what restrictions on the visa would mean for Indians, there are other views which say that this would even present an opportunity to channelise human and material resources in India.

Brexit and the Future of the UK

Vol. 52, Issue No. 16, 22 Apr, 2017
Kirsty Hughes

Brexit is a Conservative Party policy-idea that got out of hand. The collapse of the centrist and liberal Tory leadership created a vacuum for hardliners within the party, in the right-wing media, and in other smaller parties to occupy that space, and call for the reinvigoration of British exceptionalism through Brexit. Unfortunately, a political and constitutional crisis besets the United Kingdom, reducing the reality of British exceptionalism to Little England isolationism.

The ‘Dependent’ Indian Women in the US

Vol. 52, Issue No. 2, 14 Jan, 2017
Divya​ ​Ravindranath

What about the dependent Indian women on H4 visa who accompany the H1B visa holders to the United States? The H4 visa has disempowered the dependents in many ways—kept them outside the labour market, with their legal and financial status tied to that of their spouses’ immigration status.

Australia's Backward March?

Vol. 37, Issue No. 15, 13 Apr, 2002
S P Seth

Australia's conservative establishment appears to want to keep their country in a time warp: after all why change when past policies - of immigration and the issue of aboriginals - have served the country so well? Besides, it is important for Australia to project itself as a harmonious and homogeneous nation so that security and other ties with the US may be nurtured.

Assam : Tribal Land Alienation:Government's Role

Vol. 36, Issue No. 52, 29 Dec, 2001
Chandan Kumar Sharma

The large-scale influx of infiltrators from the south and the north-west has compounded fears of insecurity and large-scale land alienation. Infiltration has been a fall-out of not merely recent government policies, but once formed a part of the colonial government's moves to resettle and develop the region.
