From Stateless People To Citizens: The Reformulation Of Territory And Identity In India-Bangladesh Border Enclaves, Md Rashedul Alam
From Stateless People To Citizens: The Reformulation Of Territory And Identity In India-Bangladesh Border Enclaves, Md Rashedul Alam
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This dissertation analyzes nation-building in hitherto ungoverned territories of two Indian chhitmahals in Bangladesh and explores the transformation of their residents from stateless Indian nationals to citizens of Bangladesh. Chhitmahals comprised nearly two hundred enclaves located along the Bangladesh-India border that belonged to one country but were located inside another’s territory. Chhitmahals came into existence with the partition of India in 1947; their non-contiguous locations kept them without state administration and citizenship rights. People developed political councils and adopted illicit practices to survive in the absence of the state, but the impossibility of exercising sovereignty in chhitmahals led Bangladesh and …
Bengal Rising: Why Bangladesh & Pakistan’S Growth Trajectories Are Diverging, Sartaj Javed
Bengal Rising: Why Bangladesh & Pakistan’S Growth Trajectories Are Diverging, Sartaj Javed
All Reports
50 years after Henry Kissinger derided the nascent state of Bangladesh as an economic basket case, the country has emerged as the newest claimant to the mantle of being an Asian tiger economy. Borne out of a genocidal civil war with Pakistan, Bangladesh’s rise and Pakistan’s decline over a tumultuous half-century period necessitates a review of foreign policy orthodoxy as South Asia’s populace starts to assert its economic and political might.
Maternal Healthcare Utilization Among Muslim Mothers From India, Pakistan, And Bangladesh: Is There Equity?, Rohin J. Krishnan
Maternal Healthcare Utilization Among Muslim Mothers From India, Pakistan, And Bangladesh: Is There Equity?, Rohin J. Krishnan
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
To date, literature exploring maternal healthcare utilization among Muslim populations has largely focused on religious differences. However, little research exists exploring maternal healthcare utilization within Muslim populations. This highlights a research gap because studies across religious groups may obscure important variation within Islamic women. The primary objective of this study assessed if there is equity in MHU among Muslim mothers in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Multivariate logistic regression revealed inequities to be present in the three countries. Predicted probabilities revealed a narrower equity gap in MHU in Bangladesh compared to India and Pakistan. The successes of Bangladesh’s recent efforts to …
Mining, Resistance And Livelihood In Rural Bangladesh, Md Rashedul Alam
Mining, Resistance And Livelihood In Rural Bangladesh, Md Rashedul Alam
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In 2006, over fifty thousand people in the Phulbari Sub-District of Bangladesh mobilized against an open-pit coal mining-project that posed serious environmental and social risks. The state authorities negotiated with the protesters intensively over four days to reach an agreement. However, the state failed to fulfill the agreement, and the protest movement continued. The agrarian communities successfully halted the mining project for the last nine years. My research aims to understand how the protesters resisted this project. My objectives have been to explore the practices of a grassroots movement, attendant transformations in the sociopolitical landscape and role of the state …
Case 7 : Integration Of Fp-Mnch Services To Accelerate Reduction Of Maternal And Child Deaths: Bangladesh Experience, Umme Meena, Megan Rhodes, Lloy Wylie
Case 7 : Integration Of Fp-Mnch Services To Accelerate Reduction Of Maternal And Child Deaths: Bangladesh Experience, Umme Meena, Megan Rhodes, Lloy Wylie
Western Public Health Casebooks
Women and children are still dying in alarming numbers from preventable causes. A child born in a low-income country is approximately 18 times more likely to die before the age of 5 than a child born in a developed country. Over a lifetime, a woman’s risk of dying as a result of pregnancy and child-birth in a low-income country is over 40 times higher than in the United States. Ending Preventable Child and Maternal Deaths (EPCMD) by 2035 is one of United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) top priority health initiatives. Currently, USAID invests 90 percent of its maternal …
Numerical Evaluation Of Community-Scale Aquifer Storage, Transfer And Recovery Technology, Jessica Barker
Numerical Evaluation Of Community-Scale Aquifer Storage, Transfer And Recovery Technology, Jessica Barker
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Communities in the coastal regions of south-western Bangladesh currently experience severe seasonal water scarcity and groundwater sources of unsuitable salinity. Aquifer storage, transfer and recovery (ASTR), using a seasonal surplus of potable water, is being tested as a potential low-cost (less than $8000 USD) water supply alternative for these communities. A variable-density numerical groundwater model was developed to investigate the engineering technical feasibility of small-scale ASTR systems for the coastal communities in Bangladesh and specifically to support future field site selection and system design. The numerical model was calibrated based on an existing ASTR site and applied to explore the …
