I thought maybe some of y'all would like a qualitative study over a quantitative one. A study of covid disparities in England among PoC and disabled people.

Abstract Background COVID-19 Ethnic Inequalities in Mental health and Multimorbidities (COVEIMM) is a mixed methods study to explore whether COVID-19 exacerbated ethnic health inequalities in adults with serious mental and physical health conditions. We analysed data from electronic health records for England and conducted interviews in Birmingham and Solihull, Manchester, and South London. Sites were selected because they were pilot sites for the Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework being introduced by NHS England to tackle race inequalities in mental health. Prior to the pandemic people in England with severe mental illnesses (SMIs) faced an 11–17-year reduction in life expectancy, mostly due to preventable, long-term, physical health conditions. During the pandemic there was a marked increase in deaths of those living with an SMI.

Aims This qualitative interview study aimed to understand the reasons underlying ethnic inequalities in mortality and service use during the COVID-19 pandemic for adult service users and carers of Black African, Black Caribbean, Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi backgrounds living with serious multiple long-term mental and physical health conditions.

Methods We took a participatory action research approach and qualitative interviews undertaken by experts-by-experience and university researchers Participants were purposively sampled by ethnicity, diagnoses, and comorbidities across three geographically distinct sites in England. Transcriptions were coded inductively and deductively and analysed thematically.

Results Findings indicated multiple points along primary and secondary health pathways for mental and physical health that have the potential to exacerbate the unjust gap in mortality that exists for Black and Asian people with SMIs. Issues such as timely access to care (face-to-face and remote), being treated in a culturally appropriate manner with empathy, dignity and respect, and being able to use services without experiencing undue force, racism or other forms of intersectional discrimination were important themes arising from interviews.

Conclusion These poor experiences create systemic and enduring healthcare harms for racialised groups with SMIs that need to be addressed. Our findings suggest a need to address these, not only in mental health providers, but across the whole health and care system and a need to ensure more equitable healthcare partnerships with service users, carers, and communities from racialised backgrounds who are often excluded.

লিখি লোৱা, মই এজন মিঞা ("Write Down 'I am a Miyah'", 2016) by Hafiz Ahmed, translated from Assamese to English by Shalim M. Hussain, began a movement of resistance poetry among Assamese Muslims of Bengali descent, referred to as Miya Poetry after a slur used to describe this community. From Abdul Kalam Azad, for Indian Express ("Write...I am a Miya", 2019):

This poem went viral and other young poets started responding to him through poems. The young poets also started reclaiming “Miya”, a slur used against us, as our identity with pride. This chain of Facebook posts continued for days, reiterating the violence, suffering and humiliation expressed by our community. As time passed, more poets wrote in various languages and dialects, including many Miya dialects. The nomenclature ‘Miya Poetry’ got generated organically but the poets and their associates have been inspired by the Negritude and Black Arts movements, and queer, feminist and Dalit literary movements, where the oppressed have reclaimed the identity which was used to dehumanise them. The trend transcended our community. Poets from the mainstream Assamese community also wrote several poems in solidarity with the Miya poets while some regretted not being poets. Gradually, this became a full-fledged poetry movement and got recognised by other poets, critics and commentators. The quality and soul of these poems are so universal that they started finding prominence on reputed platforms. For the first time in the history of our community, we had started telling our own stories and reclaiming the Miya identity to fight against our harassers who were dehumanising us with the same word. They accused us of portraying the whole Assamese society as xenophobic. The fact is we have just analysed our conditions. Forget generalising the Assamese society as ‘xenophobic’, no Miya poet has ever used the term ‘xenophobic’ nor any of its variants. The guilt complex of our accusers is so profound that they don’t have the patience to examine why we wrote the poems.

Amrita Singh, writing for The Caravan ("Assam Against Itself", 2019), detailed the political backlash against Miya Poetry, in particular the above poem.

On 10 July this year, Pranabjit Doloi, an Assam-based journalist, filed a complaint at Guwahati’s Panbazar police station accusing ten people of indulging in criminal activities “to defame the Assamese people as Xenophobic in the world.” Doloi claimed that the ten people were trying to hinder the ongoing updation of the National Register of Citizens, a list of Assam’s Indian citizens that is due to be published on 31 August. The premise of Doloi’s complaint was a widely-circulated poem called, “Write down I am Miya,” by Hafiz Ahmed, a school teacher and social activist. “Write. Write down I am a Miya/ A citizen of democratic secular republic without any rights,” Ahmed wrote. The police registered a first information report against Doloi’s complaint, booking all ten persons for promoting enmity between groups, among other offences. [...] At the press conference, Mander emphasised that people in Assam are in distress because of the NRC’s arbitrary and rigid procedures. “One spelling mistake when you are writing a Bengali name in English … that is enough for you to be in a detention center, declared a foreigner,” Mander said. “If you are not allowing this lament to come out in the form of poetry, then where is this republic of India going?”

Ahmed's poem is influenced in structure by "Identity Card", a 1964 poem by by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish which uses the symbolic figure of the Palestinian working man to confront Israeli occupiers. Darwish's identity card, a symbol of Israeli subjugation transformed into a cry of Palestinian national identity, is reshaped by Ahmed into the National Register of Citizens for Assam and the accompanying fear of statelessness and disenfranchisement for the Miya people.

This solidarity between writers from oppressed groups is, of course, not one that ends with Darwish and Ahmed, nor with the Black, queer, feminist, and Dalit influences of Miya Poetry. As long as there is oppression, there will be companionship and recognition reflected in art and activism. On December 13, 2023, Black Agenda Report reprinted Refaat Alareer's "If I Must Die", acknowledging the connection between Alareer's poem and "If We Must Die" by Claude McKay, written in 1919 in response to the Red Summer white supremacist riots. In 2000, Haitian community activist Dahoud Andre translated "If We Must Die" into Kreyòl, and the Black Agenda Report editorial honors Alareer in a similar way, reprinting "If I Must Die" with an accompanying Kreyòl translation. (POEM: If I Must Die, Refaat Alareer, 2023.)

Identity Card Mahmoud Darwish, 1964 trans. Denys Johnson-Davies

Put it on record. I am an Arab

And the number of my card is fifty thousand I have eight children And the ninth is due after summer. What's there to be angry about?

Put it on record. I am an Arab

Working with comrades of toil in a quarry. I have eight children For them I wrest the loaf of bread, The clothes and exercise books From the rocks And beg for no alms at your door, Lower not myself at your doorstep. What's there to be angry about?

Put it on record. I am an Arab.

I am a name without a title, Patient in a country where everything Lives in a whirlpool of anger. My roots Took hold before the birth of time Before the burgeoning of the ages, Before cypress and olive trees, Before the proliferation of weeds.

My father is from the family of the plough Not from highborn nobles.

And my grandfather was a peasant Without line or genealogy.

My house is a watchman's hut Made of sticks and reeds.

Does my status satisfy you? I am a name without a surname.

Put it on record. I am an Arab.

Color of hair: jet black. Color of eyes: brown. My distinguishing features: On my head the `iqal cords over a keffiyeh Scratching him who touches it.

My address: I'm from a village, remote, forgotten, Its streets without name And all its men in the fields and quarry. What's there to be angry about?

Put it on record. I am an Arab.

You stole my forefathers' vineyards And land I used to till, I and all my children, And you left us and all my grandchildren Nothing but these rocks. Will your government be taking them too As is being said?

So! Put it on record at the top of page one: I don't hate people, I trespass on no one's property.

And yet, if I were to become hungry I shall eat the flesh of my usurper. Beware, beware of my hunger And of my anger!

Notes: Edited transcript (1/6/22) by Jean Chambers, of David Graeber’s talk at Birmingham University, Birmingham Research Institute of History and Cultures, Birmingham, UK, given June 8, 2018 (found on YouTube). [Disclaimer: This is my best reconstruction, but there may be errors. I purposely omitted the ‘you know’s, the ‘sort of’s, and other needless words. I have also indicated where I think, as a nonexpert, he may have misspoken. And I have tried to reconstruct his quotations, bibliography, and citations.]

I’m actually going to read some of this. I don’t usually read the papers that that I’m supposed to read, but I finished writing this at about 4 a.m. last night, and I haven’t actually read it yet. I think it makes sense. But I wanted to say something new, having this whole conference, and it’s in order to regurgitate things, so what I thought to do was to relate some of the themes that I explored in my earlier work on Debt with some of the more recent concerns I’ve had with the history of labor, and particularly wage labor, which I cover rather briefly in the new book on Bullshit Jobs, and specifically talk about the commoditization of labor. We have this interesting situation nowadays where waged, and to a lesser extent salaried, labor remain the predominant ways of organizing work, almost everywhere in the world at this point, but historically, if you look at the sort of broad historical sweep, while such arrangements often existed in many, perhaps most, times and places, they’re kind of unusual, even considered anomalous at most, and, while there has been a lot of very good research on the history of such labor arrangements, it’s actually really uncommon to see anyone put the pieces together in any sort of broad synthetic way.

You often see books on different forms of labor in a certain region — labor in the Indian Ocean, labor in medieval Northern Europe — but it’s surprising how rarely they make that many general points, so I thought I would start by taking up some of the ideas about commoditization of labor that came on me when I was pursuing the work on Debt, and thus I want to start with talking about bridewealth and brideprice and that debate, and what I thought were one of the more, what I thought was one of the cooler points that I came up with while I was researching Debt, which is an intervention in an anthropological debate about the nature of bridewealth and dowry and about the power of debt to transform one into the other, transform what are essentially social currencies that are used when social currency is turned into commercial currencies, when social arrangements can become commoditized in ways that must turn them into the opposite of what they had previously been. That’s largely about the commoditization of women’s labor through much of history through marriage systems, to talking about wage labor itself.

There are three parts: the role of debt in dislodging labor from the social nexuses in which it has been placed, it seems from marriage systems; [the role of debt?] seen from the perspective of wage labor itself, which has a very, very interesting history and in many times and places, probably most, seems to emerge above all from within institutions of slavery; then finally to look at a case where wage labor actually didn’t emerge from within institutions of slavery, in Northern Europe and particularly England, and in that case to look at the role of debt in redefining English agricultural, industrial, and commercial workers, not as creditors but essentially as debtors to those they worked for.

Diaries of Michael Silvera

15 November, 2009

This has quickly evolved into a hyperfixation of mine. I spent the last day listening and transcribing the rest of the tapes.

I had started with broadcast 49, The next tape I chose to investigate her dissapearance was Broadcast 56, The inability to listen to them in order due to the absence of some recordings restrains much of my understanding and limits my investigation, but i persevere through it.

Broadcast 56 speaks of the following:

- change and fluidity. It speaks of how life has a way of moving on, and of it's unjustifingly cruel nature, and it tendency to pass on.

- it speaks of how people aren't permanent, they aren't just solid blobs of stuff, they're more like a mess of "wibbly wobbly" stuff that keep on changing, preferences that change over time.

- Silvera gets personal in this broadcast by talking about her own changes over time.

How does this broadcast aid in her investigation? i have not a single clue. in this broadcast she talked mostly about her own experiences about how she felt as a person, she touched on feminist media at the time having ideas much ahead of her own time.

Interestingly she remains deflective of the topic of her childhood and early years.

I tried looking into her name before the year 1937, and found no references. It's as if she popped out of nowhere in 1937 with a radio broadcast spanning most of the Indian subcontinent.

In broadcast 56, she talks about feminism and what it was like to be a woman for her, which remained an obscure topic at the time. No one quite thought of being a woman as a good thing, if anything they were as good as slaves bound by the expectations of society around them. It was often a man's job to exist and be seen, for a woman to exist and know things was unheard of and was discouraged actively because of how the thought itself was heretic, and quite frankly, absurd; and yet she talked of it, and was later charged for it, spending an amount of time locked up in prison.

I shall research more on her time in prison, tommorrow. I will try to go to the university and talk to my professor about it later.

I'll close today's entry here. I am exhausted.

Signed

Michael Silvera.

Robert Fraser reviews Tantra Exhibition, 1971 (transcription)

Robert Fraser’s review of The Hayward Gallery’s Tantra exhibition, September 30-Nov. 7, 1971. Published in Studio International, vol. 182 no. 939, Dec. 1971

Originally posted here by @ljblueteak

Transcription below the cut

The exhibition of Tantra on show at the Hayward Gallery from 30 September to 14 November has been an event which could be a catalyst to the formation of new conceptions as to the purpose and direction of the art of the future. In this instance I mean art taken as a global entity, not as something divided up into Western art or Eastern art. The first thing that might strike the view was that the show taken as a whole revealed a vision of a very ancient and systematic culture whose symbols and myths are alive right up to the present day; a Hindu or Buddhist could walk through the show and constantly be made aware of things which are a part of his own consciousness and personality. It is this aspect of tantra as a living sign-language and a living mythology which gives it special significance to us now. The basis of all tantric iconography is function; although tantra is based in the expansion of consciousness (Sanskrit root TAN expand TRA) its purpose is to provide and explain methods by which the expansion is to be achieved. There have been many different schools of thought on this subject and the reason for the seemingly baffling complexity of tantra is that it touches upon so many different levels and approaches to sadhana; philosophy, science and ritual are all involved in what was originally one system of thought based in vedanta. In recent centuries cults have grown up which have advocated specialized approaches, of which tantra asana is one; it is this one approach that has in the present day been identified most closely with tantra, and its over-emphasis has given tantra a notoriety which is based upon misconception of its full range. Nevertheless in this show all this enormous variety of imagery and symbol has been brought together under the umbrella of tantra art, as being visualizations of various methods towards the pursuit of sadhana and man's relation to the universe.

In style and content these exhibits differ widely. Many of them are what are known as Indian classical art, others are 'folk' or primitive forms; on the other hand the diagrams and manuscripts of which there are many in the exhibition could be called 'yoga' art. However, nearly all bear a certain stamp or aura which we immediately recognize as tantric; and the reason we are able to do this is due entirely to the vision of one man, Ajit Mookerjee, from whose private collection about two-thirds of the exhibits have been borrowed. Ajit Mookerjee is already well known in India for his pioneer work in the classification and identification of Indian folk and primitive art and it is during the pursuit of these studies that he came to formulate the concept of tantra art, which had hitherto existed as unrelated art-forms in various parts of India. His name is now well known in Western countries as the author of two art books, "Tantra Art' (Ravi Kumar 1967) and 'Tantra Asana' (Ravi Kumar1971), and it is the wide circulation and enormous interest which the first of these books created which made the world aware of an art form which, although it had existed for centuries, had so far eluded classification. What caused this enormous interest, both in the books and the Hayward exhibition, is the fact that tantra art fulfills a function for Western man which his own contemporary art has lost sight of. Here is an art form which partakes of the potential of human energy and its relation to the universe. It is this inward direction of tantra art that people instinctively recognize and identify with, although after experiencing an initial attraction they can easily be put off by what seems to be an impenetrable jungle of symbols and myths demanding a knowledge so specialized as to be beyond reach. But many of these symbols have an abstract significance which is immediately recognizable. An example of this is catalogue no. 511, which illustrates in a series of gouaches of incredibly subtle coloration the processes of projective evolution of the universe; the balance between abstraction and description is so perfectly held on the aesthetic plane that the subject matter of expansion is self-evident.

Despite the organizers' inspired concept of presenting the exhibition as a journey without beginning or end and the sensitive groupings of the various classifications of objects and paintings, one is nevertheless conscious of a certain visual indigestion after concentrated viewing. This is perhaps due to the inclusion of the sections of Buddhist tantra and several series of Tibetan thanjkas, some of which are of indifferent quality. Tibetan Buddhist imagery has a very different visual aura which conjures up a totally different world of the imagination from its Hindu counterparts: it cries out for a setting of its own and should in all fairness be the subject of a separate exhibition.

A word must be said about the catalogue, which has been written by Philip Rawson and admirably designed by Hugh Shaw. Every item in the exhibition has been illustrated and informatively captioned; it is therefore a compendium of tantric imagery in itself, and immediately becomes a vital work of reference. Surely, though, the insistence of the catalogue's introduction upon the cultist aspect of tantra is a mistake? Tantra asana is one of the visually richest and most beautiful sources of tantric imagery but the philosophy of the male/female principle goes far beyond the sexual frame of reference. In advaita vedanta it has a much more abstract significance and the practical application of sexual asana as a means of union with the absolute has no serious philosophical basis. If the idea of tantra art can be freed from its cultist associations, it can emerge as the key to an art of the future that is not pursued for its own sake, but forms part of a philosophical system or thought.

All this is conjecture, but it is exciting to hear that a Tantra Museum is to be built on a site on the outskirts of New Delhi over the next few years which will collect and exhibit both Indian tantric forms and forms from other cultures ancient and contemporary, with Ajit Mookerjee's collection as a basis. It is by this approach to tantra art that a link may be established between all forms of art with an inward direction that speak of man's relation to the universe.

Interesting that Fraser was based in India at this time but familiar enough with a London show to be able to write a detailed review.

Vyner says: "Characteristically, though, his reappearances in London during the four or five years he was away shed little light on his actions and whereabouts other than conveying his increased enthusiasm for all things Indian."

How Can I Get My Educational Credentials Evaluated?

In a globalized world, academic mobility has become more common than ever. Whether you’re planning to study abroad, migrate, or seek employment in another country, one of the most critical steps in the process is getting your educational credentials evaluated. This ensures your foreign qualifications are recognized and comparable to the educational standards in your destination country.

Still, if you don’t know how the credential evaluation process works, it can seem overwhelming. In this tutorial, we will explain how to acquire an educational credential evaluation step by step, who needs one, how to apply for one, and how to best streamline the educational credential evaluation process using up-to-date online transcript services.

Need help with your Educational Credentials Evaluated? Contact Us Now!

What Is Educational Credential Evaluation?

Educational credential evaluation is an assessment of your education records (degrees, diplomas, or transcripts) obtained outside the country where you are seeking to apply for admission, jobs, or immigration. The evaluation process assesses the academic equivalency of your foreign qualification in the local context.

For example, suppose you completed an MBA in India and are applying for work or study in the U.S.. In that case, a credential evaluator will compare your Indian MBA with its U.S. equivalent in terms of level, credits, and grading.

Who Needs Foreign Degree Evaluation?

You will need a foreign degree evaluation if:

You apply for further education abroad.

You submit documents to immigration authorities.

You want licensing or registration in a regulated profession (such as a healthcare professional or an engineer, etc.)

You are applying for a position, and the equivalency of your academic background is part of the hiring process.

This process is especially important for international students since universities in the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, and the United Kingdom usually require evaluated transcripts as part of the admission process.

Understanding the Credential Evaluation Process

The credential evaluation process usually includes

Document Collection: The first step is to work through all your academic documents and collect your degrees, mark sheets, diplomas, and transcripts.

Translation (if applicable): If your documents are in a non-English language, certified translations may be required.

Application to a Credential Evaluation Agency: Apply to a recognized body like WES, ECE, IQAS, or CES.

University Verification: Agencies usually ask universities to send transcripts directly to them. This is where transcript service providers in India play a crucial role.

Assessment Report: The agency issues a report explaining how your degree compares to the local system.

How to Apply for Credential Evaluation: Step-by-Step

Let’s walk through applying for a transcript online and having your documents evaluated properly:

1. Determine which Credential Evaluation Agency to use

There are popular agencies worldwide, i.e……..

WES (World Education Services)

ECE (Educational Credential Evaluators)

IQAS (International Qualifications Assessment Service)

CES (Comparative Education Service)

Ensure the evaluation agency you are using is accepted by the institution or authority you are applying to.

2. Check required documents

Every agency has a checklist. Generally, you will need:

Degree certificate

All-year mark sheets/transcripts

Identification proof (i.e. passport)

University-sealed envelope (or digital delivery)

3. Use online transcript services

Contact your university and request your transcript. Almost all Indian universities have supported online transcript services. If the university does not provide it to you directly, using an authorized transcript service provider in India will be able to.

Collect your documents

Notarize if required

Liaise with the university

Dispatch the sealed transcript directly to the evaluation body.

This step is essential, as credential evaluation services often reject documents sent by students themselves.

4. Submit Your Application

After receiving the transcript, log in to the evaluation agency’s portal and submit the following:

Digital copies

Transcript request reference

Payment

5. Receive the Evaluation Report

Depending on the agency and delivery method, your academic credential assessment report will be delivered in 2–8 weeks.

Choosing the Right Transcript Service Provider in India

Navigating the transcript process in India can be time-consuming. That’s why many international students rely on third-party transcript service providers in India to ensure the process is error-free and within deadlines.

Features to look for:

Experience with international agencies like WES, ECE, etc.

Pan-India university coverage

Doorstep document pickup

End-to-end document handling

Responsive customer support

Online tracking system

Using the best transcript services in India not only saves time but also prevents unnecessary rejections or delays due to documentation issues.

Q: How long does credential evaluation take? A: Most agencies take 2 to 8 weeks, depending on document delivery and verification speed. Choosing an efficient transcript service provider can expedite this process.

Q: Can I submit my transcripts myself? A: Generally, no. Most agencies require transcripts to be sent directly from your university or a verified third-party service provider to maintain authenticity.

Q: Do agencies like WES accept digital transcripts? A: Yes, agencies like WES accept digital transcripts from select universities and authorized online platforms. Always check with the agency for specific requirements.

Q: What’s the cost of credential evaluation? A: Fees vary by agency, usually ranging between $100 and $250, excluding transcript dispatch fees. Additional services like rush evaluation or extra copies incur extra charges.

The Benefits of Studying MBBS in Uzbekistan for Indian Students

Why MBBS in Uzbekistan for Indian Students is Gaining Popularity

Obtaining an MBBS in Uzbekistan for Indian students is becoming a much-desired option due to inexpensive fees, high-quality education, and worldwide acceptance. NEET-qualified students in India finish jobs with more education in limited seats; hence, Uzbekistan is an attractive alternative for studying abroad.

NMC-approved universities, English-taught courses, and good teaching environments have made Uzbekistan the smartest and most economical option for Indian students wanting to embark on their journey to medicine.

Key Benefits of Studying MBBS in Uzbekistan

Lower Tuition and Living Expenses

This remains one of the key elements Indian students consider for selecting Uzbekistan. Tuition fees at medical universities in Uzbekistan are almost equal to, if not less than, fees charged at private colleges back in India or Western counterparts. The average tuition fee ranges from ₹2.5 lakh to ₹4 lakh per annum. Uzbekistan is also affordable in terms of living expenses like food and accommodation, making the complete package manageable for a middle-class family.

NMC- and WHO-Recognized Universities

Most of the medical universities in Uzbekistan are recognized by the Indian NMC and the WHO. This ensures that Indian students can appear for screening tests like FMGE/NExT after coming back to India or pursue studies or practice medicine elsewhere in the world.

Language is seldom a barrier since top universities in Uzbekistan provide English-medium MBBS programs. Indian students can study in the language of their choice right from day one, thus making learning easier and more effective.

Simple Admission Procedure

Admission into the MBBS program in Uzbekistan is unlike other tests except the NEET. It is simple and easy to understand. Students just need to appear for the NEET test and submit their past academic transcripts and important documents. There are no donation or capitation fees.

Safe and Student-Friendly Environment

Uzbekistan is supposed to be secure and yet friendly to foreign students. The cities of Tashkent, Samarkand, and Bukhara boast modern infrastructure with efficient public transport and supporting staff associated with the universities. Some universities have staff. Many Indian students even have Indian mess facilities and cultural student groups that facilitate the adjustment of Indian students.

Life and Learning in Uzbekistan

Medical education in Uzbekistan is a balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. Most universities are equipped with modern labs, simulation centers, and attached hospitals for clinical exposure from the first year of studies.

Students can participate in international conferences, research projects, and summer internships that make them eligible candidates for a lucrative global medical career.

Additional Perks:

Globally recognized MBBS degree

Exposure to multicultural classrooms

High FMGE passing rate for the graduates of Uzbek universities

Learning another language and exploring Central Asian culture

Points to Remember

Before proceeding to apply for MBBS in Uzbekistan for Indian students, keep these things in mind:

The university should be in the WDOMS (World Directory of Medical Schools).

Should be NMC approved

Should be in English

Take into consideration visa processing time; consult only trusted admission consultancies.

With appropriate guidance and full preparation, you ensure a smooth medical journey in Uzbekistan.

Final Thoughts

For Indian students looking to take up MBBS in Uzbekistan, it is not merely an economically sensible decision but rather a pursuit of elite world medical education. With studies and instruction in English, well-conceived programs with international recognition all contribute to making Uzbekistan a top option for aspiring Indian medical students.
