R. Bharucha
Rustom Bharucha When people 'invent' tradition ('authentic' or 'spurious' through acts of 'cultural preservation' or 'subversion' ), they unavoidably imply that they are no longer in touch with its immediacies. Yet an illusion is often maintained whereby the 'invention' is placed within the mainstream of tradition itself. This essay discusses the more seemingly 'creative' inventions of tradition that have been implemented by our artists, directors and 'experts' in the Indian theatre. Much of the discussion focuses on the discourse of theatre, in which concepts of the folk' and the 'theatre of roots' are examined as inventipns of the urban intelligentsia.

De-collectivisation of Agriculture in China, 1979-82 A Long-Term Perspective Peter Nolan It is in agriculture that the most far-reaching changes have occurred in China's political economy over the past three or four years. Fundamental institutional reform has taken place amounting to a 'de-collectivisation' of the peasantry comparable in importance to the ' collectivisation' in the mid- 1950s. A cornerstone of the 'Maoist model' of development was the rural collective structure. It appeared to many outside observers that China under Mao had been remarkably successful in evolving farm institutions that were capable of attaining rapid farm modernisation with a lower degree of inequality than existed in capitalist settings.

Regional mortality differentials in India are analyzed using data for the densely populated states of Kerala and West Bengal. "The objective of this comparative analysis is twofold: to set forth the available admittedly imprecise data on mortality levels in the two states; and to analyse socioeconomic factors commonly thought to be correlated with mortality levels....The educational and political traditions of the two states are explored in some depth and it is tentatively suggested that the broader involvement of the general population in both systems in Kerala may account for their greater demands for and higher utilisation of health and other governmental social services characteristics that in turn may contribute to the lower mortality levels."

"SO thrive in my dangerous affairs of hostile arms!" Shakespeare might have put these words in the mouth of an actor on the contemporary world stage appearing in the role of the Persian Gulf, This oil-rich strategic region has been militarised merrily over the decade of Oil power by the United States, the Soviet Union and other industrialised states through the willing agencies of the local monarchs intoxicated by the borrowed glamour of arms. Kunwar Rajendra Singh, of the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, offers in this trim handsome volume a detailed, sharp analysis of the arms transfers to the Gulf states in the 1970s and some perceptive suggestions on how to introduce a certain measure of arms control in that volatile region. The Persian Gulf has acquired unusual importance for India's security and national interest. Indeed the two geopolitical areas of the Gulf and South Asia have been telescoped into a single geostrategic area in the last decade, although at present the Reagan administration is trying to create a new strategic area concept called Southwestern Asia which, in Washington's current military oriented perception, extends from Egypt to Pakistan. Whatever may be the US intentions, it is in India's interest to develop in our universities and research centres serious studies of the political, social, economic, strategic and military aspects of the Persian Gulf region and its individual members. Unfortunately, we have only a handful of scholars specialising in Gulf affairs. Among them K R Singh stands out with his research and analysis, his published books and papers.

There i.s also the fact that there are no effective regional conflicts m the decision-making process in that area, either among the sub-regions internally or vis-a-vis the national economy.
