Make tourist sites more attractive, government tells states ...
New Delhi, Aug 29, Keen to pitch India as a world-class tourism destination, the government has asked states to construct and design civic amenities near tourist sites and conserve heritage monuments in keeping with the local ambience in order to attract more tourists.
Union Tourism Secretary Sujit Banerjee this week wrote to all state chief secretaries urging them to implement a set of guidelines to help them in designing and implementing tourism-related projects.
In his letter, Banerjee said the states should employ architects, conservators and landscape architects in order to make the tourist sites more attractive and aesthetic.
“The guidelines will give directions to states to make buildings and other amenities that would appeal to tourists and would also add to the beauty of the tourist destination,” an official told IANS Saturday.
The states were asked to have a one-window clearance for all tourism related projects.
Banerjee said while constructing urban civic amenities, proper attention needs to be given to design and aesthetics, choice of materials, durability and maintenance.
...Eagle Feather » Photography in Colonial and Postcolonial India as ...
Introduction
Photography has been propagated as a tool that conveys reality. It represents the signified – the thing that has been photographed. In order for the subject to be represented in a photograph, it must have physically been in front of the lens. That very quality attributed to photography led to its use as a tool by colonial Britain to exert control over its established colonies. This paper discusses the use of photography in India as an agent of cultural domination. It will explore the British use of photography to forge an Indian identity that established the Raj’s control over the subcontinent and the use of photography by Indians themselves in an attempt to subvert the pictorial precedent established by the British colonists.
The invention of photography was a significant moment in the ability to record people and events. It is a medium which seemingly conveys truth, while at the same time, its meaning is constructed and manipulated. It is with these issues in mind that one can examine the impact of photography in India. Photography first came to India in the nineteenth century with the European interest in the subcontinent. The scenic panoramas were ideal for creating subliminal landscapes, while the identity of India’s people was manipulated by the cultural bias of the British. The Middle East was losing its broad appeal, and the focus on India rekindled the Western obsession with the mysterious East.
