This book uses gender as a framework to offer unique insights into the socio-cultural foundations of Buddhism. Moving away from dominant discourses that discuss women as a single monolithic, homogenous category—thus rendering them invisible within the broader religious discourse—this monograph examines their sustained role in the larger context of South Asian Buddhism and reaffirms their agency. It highlights the multiple roles played by women as patrons, practitioners, lay and monastic members, etc. within Buddhism. The volume also investigates the individual experiences of the members, and their equations and relationships at different levels—with the Samgha at large, with their own respective Bhikşu or Bhikşunī Sangha, with the laity, and with members of the same gender (both lay and monastic). It rereads, reconfigures and reassesses historical data in order to arrive at a new understanding of Buddhism and the social matrix within which it developed and flourished. Bringing together archaeological, epigraphic, art historical, literary as well as ethnographic data, this volume will be of interest to researchers and scholars of Buddhism, gender studies, ancient Indian history, religion, and South Asian studies.

A Book That Challenges The Conventional Notion Of A Slum. Spread Over 175 Hectares And Swarming With One Million People, Dharavi Is Often Called Asia S Largest Slum . But Dharavi Is Much More Than Cold Statistic. What Makes It Special Are The Extraordinary People Who Live There, Many Of Whom Have Defied Fate And An Unhelpful State To Prosper Through A Mix Of Backbreaking Work, Some Luck And A Great Deal Of Ingenuity. It Is These Men And Women Whom Journalist Kalpana Sharma Brings To Life Through A Series Of Spellbinding Stories. While Recounting Their Tales, She Also Traces The History Of Dharavi From The Days When It Was One Of The Six Great Koliwadas Or Fishing Villages To The Present Times When It, Along With Other Slums, Is Home To Almost Half Of Mumbai. Among The Colourful Characters She Presents Are Haji Shamsuddin Who Came To Mumbai And Began Life As A Rice Smuggler But Made His Fortune By Launching His Own Brand Of Peanut Brittle; The Stoic Ramjibhai Patel, A Potter, Who Represents Six Generations From Saurashtra Who Have Lived And Worked In Mumbai; And Doughty Women Like Khatija And Amina Who Helped Check Communal Passions During The 1992-93 Riots And Continue To Ensure That The Rich Social Fabric Of Dharavi Is Not Frayed. It Is Countless, Often Anonymous, Individuals Like These Who Have Helped Dharavi Grow From A Mere Swamp To A Virtual Gold Mine With Its Many Industrial Units Churning Out Quality Leather Goods, Garments And Food Products. Written With Rare Sensitivity And Empathy, Rediscovering Dharavi Is A Riveting Account Of The Triumph Of The Human Spirit Over Poverty And Want.

Kegiatan seminar yang berlangsung selama dua hari (28-29 November 2012) tersebut, menghadirkan 10 orang narasumber, terutama para akademisi yang concern dalam pengkajian Melayu baik dari dalam maupun luar negeri, seperti Prof. Margaret Kartomi (Monash University), Prof. Dr. Azyumardi Azra, M.A. (UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta), Henri Chambert-Loir (Peneliti Manuskrip Melayu dari Perancis), Prof. Datuk Wira Dr. Abdul Latiff bin Abu Bakar (University Pendidikan Sultan Idris Malaysia), Suryadi, M.A (Leiden University Institute for Area Studies), Prof. Dr. Abdul Hadi, WM (Universitas Paramadina Jakarta), Prof. Dr. Yusmar Yusuf (Universitas Riau) Prof. Dr. H. Mahdi Bahar, S.Kar., M.Hum (ISI Padangpanjang), Prof. Dr. Sri Hastanto, S.Kar (ISI Surakarta), dan Prof. Dr. I Wayan Rai S, M.A (ISI Denpasar). Selain narasumber tersebut, prosiding seminar ini juga memuat makalah-makalah partisipan (call pappers) yang berasal dari berbagai disiplin ilmu. Seminar yang dihadiri oleh 350 orang peserta ini, dimaksudkan sebagai upaya untuk menggali, memetakan dan mendefinisikan kembali Melayu dalam ruang lingkup yang sesungguhnya, yakni sebagai sebuah dunia Melayu dengan keberagaman etnis, budaya dan geografis, yang dirajut oleh latar belakang nilai-nilai humanistik yang sama. Wacana mengenai kemelayuan justru seringkali mengecilkan peran dan arti penting peradaban Melayu. Sejumlah pihak malah menyatakan klaim sebagai pemilik sah kebudayaan Melayu, yang nyatanya menjadi milik komunal rumpun bangsa Melayu itu sendiri, yang tersebar di kawasan Asia Tenggara dan Nusantara khususnya sejak zaman Melayu Tua (proto Melayu) sampai Melayu Muda (deutro Melayu). Persepsi mengenai Melayu pun kemudian menjadi sangat lokal dan spesifik. Hal ini tentunya sangat merugikan dan memecah-belah masyarakat dan peradaban Melayu itu sendiri Prosiding Seminar Internasional ini disusun sebagai dokumentasi dari sebuah diskursus keilmuan, yang pada akhirnya dapat menjadi salah satu sumber pemikiran dan informasi mengenai dunia Melayu dalam perspektif seni dan budaya. Oleh karena itu, panitia memberikan apresiasi dan ucapan terima kasih kepada seluruh narasumber yang telah menyumbangkan ide, gagasan dan pemikirannya. Ucapan terima kasih juga disampaikan kepada seluruh pihak yang telah berperan aktif dalam menyukseskan kegiatan seminar ini.
