Anveshi.University of Hyderabad collaborative workshop
¡°Towards a Critique of Development Thinking¡±
A. Suneetha
This is a report about the just concluded workshop called ¡°Towards a Critique of Development Thinking¡± that Anveshi did with Centre for Regional Studies at HCU from 7th to 11th September. It was organized around the readings from the Development Reader manuscript edited by R. Srivatsan, Senior Fellow of Anveshi. There were five sessions in all, with Srivats presenting five selected components from the Reader, followed by a detailed response by a discussant from HCU, and discussion with the research scholars. The faculty and the scholars were drawn from different departments of social sciences.
The first session was on Indian planning models (Lewis and Mahalanobis) and the discussant was Dr. Ramana Murthy, from Economics department. Second session was on the Mode of Production debates in the seventies, the discussant being Dr. Purendra Prasad from Sociology; third was on Dependency theories, the discussant being Dr. Vamsicharan from Economics dept; fourth was on Indian state, discussant being Dr. Janardhan from Sociology; fifth was on Boserup and Amartya Sen, response was from Prof. Omkar from Economics. Discussants in general agreed with the analytical commentary of Srivats's headnotes; drew attention to the broader context of analyses, models, histories in which these selected readings need to be placed; had a few questions why these, not others were selected. More substantially, the discussants were keen to know the standpoint from which Srivats was offering his critique; wanted him to elaborate his framework and objectives; wanted to know whether he is offering an alternative or rejecting development.
Scholars attended in large number, 40 to 45, drawn from economics, sociology, political science and a small portion from history. Anthropologists were not represented well. The inquiries of scholars (only a few of whom had read the readings that were circulated in soft copy form) was towards clarifications on issues raised in the course of lectures; selections of readings; opinions, agreements or disagreements about Srivats' analysis of debates or thinkers. Some, of course, were trying to test Srivats' knowledge!!!
At the end of the workshop, a feedback form was circulated in which most of the participants gave 7 out of 10 for the workshop. Most found the Mode of Production debate session difficult to follow. Others found the lack of debate on environment and development stark. But in general, they said that they found the workshop very useful. Sudha, an ex-Anveshi Short Term Fellow was there too, along with many of her colleagues in the department. She and her friends, she said, had difficulty following the first two sessions but by the fifth day began to follow where the discussion was going.
The faculty who were discussants also found the workshop to be useful, saying that they now have new insights into the old debates; that Srivats' analysis filled in some gaps in their own understanding of development debates. Also they found this idea of a workshop on development quite interesting,
Sheela Prasad anchored the entire programme, not only for the arrangements, but pulling in the faculty, persuading them to be discussants, encouraging students to register for the workshop; and being there all through - to see to it that the scholars participated in the discussions; giving feedback to Srivats about whether the scholars were able to follow what was happening in the session or to tune the lecture so that they could follow. While Srivats and the discussants focused on the actual readings, Sheela saw to it that the discussion was inclusive and useful, going beyond economics and Marxism!
Some Anveshi members attended a few sessions. I felt good to be going back to the University, doing the kind of workshop that I wish somebody had done for me when I was there! It is a useful experiment, which one can think of repeating with a different audience.
