Malay Muslim integration in upper southern provinces: Role of the Thai government
No full textMigration by nature can lead to integration. This is possible when a
nation-state takes a clear stand on the practices of multiculturalism. Most
Asian countries have failed to adopt multiculturalism and rather practice the
policy of assimilation. Yet multiculturalism has become popular as this concept incorporates recognition of ethnic and national minorities and supports
their cultural identity. Due to longstanding conflict in the southernmost provinces of Thailand, various data suggests that many Malay-Muslims migrated
to the upper southern provinces of Thailand in recent years. In this context,
internal migration occurred mainly for economic as well as security reasons.
Consequently, in some provinces demographic numbers have changed. In the
near future, there may be changes in Thai society, especially in the upper
southern provinces. The main purpose of this study is to ascertain how the
government accommodates internal migration especially in upper southern
provinces. In order to develop a multicultural society, the Thai government
should nurture minority issues in various ways. Apart from the government,
Thai civil society—comprising academics and NGOS—has addressed it from
their own perspectives. Still, there is no comprehensive approach to deal with this issue. Aside from the lack of cultural and political integration, Thai society may face severe related challenges to migration in the next decade
EFFECT OF WEFT PARAMETERS ON WEAVING PERFORMANCE AND FABRIC PROPERTIES
No full textAbstract: Threads per inch and yarn count are some of the most important parameters that affect both weaving performance and fabric property. Experimental studies were conducted by weaving fabrics with three different picks per inch (PPI) and weft counts. The study shows that weaving performance is affected by the too high cover factor. Cover factor was calculated by dividing the threads/inch by the square root of the English cotton count and end breakage was taken as an indication of weaving performance. It was observed that when the count as well as threads/inch of one series of yarn changes the crimp % i.e. the consumption of both series of yarns are affected. It was also observed that, as expected, when the threads/inch increases the fabric strength also increases but at higher threads/inch the gain in strength is relatively more
The Rohingya Crisis: A Moral, Ethnographic, and Policy Assessment
No full textThis book provides a history of the ethnic persecution of the Rohingyas in Myanmar and their disputed ethnic and
national identity. It focuses on how the crisis has morphed into a geopolitical encounter among Bangladesh, China,
India, and Myanmar. It further explores the moral, ethnographic, and public policy issues in the humanitarian
response to the crisis of the Rohingya people. The volume analyzes the question of citizenship for the Rohingyas by
analyzing historical documents and interviews which chronicle the status and identity of the community and their past
involvement in the government and politics of Myanmar. The authors focus specifically on the changing geopolitical
context of state formation in South Asia and the tense relationships between Myanmar and its neighbours -
Bangladesh, China, and India. The book examines the alliances and disputes in the South and Southeast Asia region,
which are predicated on economic and strategic gains, and their impact on the Rohingya crisis. It also looks at the
failure of bilateral and multilateral negotiations among these countries to adequately address or alleviate the plight of
the stateless Rohingyas. This volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of international studies,
peace, human rights and conflict studies, sociology, ethnic studies, border studies, migration and diaspora studies,
discrimination and exclusion studies, public policy, and Asian Studies. It will also be useful for professionals working
in the media, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), think tanks, and policy makers, as well as general readers
interested in the history of the persecution of the Rohingya people. © 2021 South Asian Institute of Policy and
