# Yodgor Nasriddinova

Yodgor Sodiqovna Nasriddinova (26 December 1920 – 7 April 2006) was an Uzbek-Soviet engineer, communist party operative and high ranking member of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. After serving in a variety of posts in the Komsomol, she rose through the ranks of the Uzbek SSR and became a deputy in the Supreme Soviet from 1958 to 1974. Between 1959 and 1970, she was the Deputy Chair of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and subsequently the chair of the Council of Nationalities of the Supreme Soviet until 1974. Purged from the Communist Party in 1988 after the death of Leonid Brezhnev due to ongoing corruption investigations and Uzbek cotton scandal, she was soon rehabilitated and restored to party membership in 1991 despite her rivalry with Sharof Rashidov, implication in corruption scandals, and staunch opposition to the Crimean Tatar civil rights movement.

## Quotes

* One must scratch that part of the body or mind that itches.

* I hated government that sat on people

* We [at NEPU] interpret democracy in its more traditional, radical sense, and that is the rule of the common people, the poor, the illiterate, while our opponents (the NPC) interpret it in its modern Tory sense, and that is the rule of the enlightened and prosperous minority in the supposed interest of the common people.

** Olu Adetule, "The Men to Watch: (1) Alhaji Aminu Kano," Drum, no. 232, August 1970.
* What we have to do in this country is to try as much as possible not to be identified with any socialist camp but only that of the Nigerian experience. . . . [My brand of socialism is ] Nigerian socialism. To achieve it, we should take into account our traditional way of life, our temper, our economic potentialities and resources, our attitude to family life, our attitude to work and international good neighbourliness. These are what will give us the ingredients for our own kind of socialism. This will make us avoid the mistake of copying other people's arrangements which may be unsuitable for our particular situation.

# Cemetery H culture

The Cemetery H culture was a Bronze Age culture in the Punjab region in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent, from about 1900 BCE until about 1300 BCE. It is regarded as a regional form of the late phase of the Harappan (Indus Valley) civilisation (alongside the Jhukar culture of Sindh and Rangpur culture of Gujarat), but also as the manifestation of a first wave of Indo-Aryan migrations[citation needed], predating the migrations of the proto-Rig Vedic people.

## Quotes

* The intrusive culture, as represented by its pottery, has in origin nothing to do with the Harappa culture; its ceramic differs from that of the latter both in finish and in decoration, and its dwellings . . . arc notably more roughly constructed than those of Harappa proper. Its analogues have not yet been identified, and it appears in fact as abruptly as did its Harappan predecessor. The suggestion has been made [by Childe] very hesitatingly, that the Cemetery H intruders "may belong to the Aryan invaders.

* Cemetery H "may reflect only a change in the focus of settlement organization from that which was the pattern of the earlier Harappan phase and not cultural discontinuity, urban decay, invading aliens, or site abandonment, all of which have been suggested in the past" (56).
** Kenoyer (1991b) in Bryant, E. F. (2001). The Quest for the Origins of Vedic Culture : the Indo-Aryan migration debate. Oxford University Press.
* Even the supposedly alien cultures like those labelled as Jhukar and Cemetery H are regional transformations... from the Harappan civilization itself.
** Lal, B. B. (1997). The earliest civilization of South Asia : rise, maturity, and decline. Aryan Books International., 283
* The exact relationship of Cemetery H with the Mature Harappa Culture, however, has long been a matter of debate. ... Wheeler, following Gordon Childe, was inclined to think that the Cemetery H people may represent the Aryan invaders who destroyed the Harappan Civilization. However, fresh excavations at Harappa by Dales, Meadow and Kenoyer seem to suggest a diferent story...

* The final occupation of the protohistoric period is characterized by Cemetery H or Late Harappan ceramics. ... Period 5 may reflect only a change in the focus of settlement organization from that which was the pattern of the earlier Harappan phase and not cultural discontinuity, urban decay, invading aliens, or site abandonment, all of which have been suggested in the past.

## Quotes

* Reliance upon migrations as the principal agent of social change has been typical of Russian archaeological interpretations, along with a blurring of the distinction between ethnic, linguistic, racial, and cultural entities, the isolation of racial/ethnic groups by the craniometric methods of physical anthropology, and the use of linguistic paleontology to reconstruct the development of cultural groups.

## Quotes

* Archaeological cultures should not be viewed as homogeneous or growing like plants from single seeds; they are always heterogeneous and constantly in the making.
** Philip Kohl, in: Lamberg-Karlovsky, C.C. (2002). Archaeology and Language. Current Anthropology, 43, 63 - 88.
* A cultural tradition refers to persistent configurations of basic technologies and cultural systems within the context of temporal and geographical continuity. This concept facilitates a stylistic grouping of diverse archaeological assemblages into a single analytical unit, while limiting the need for establishing the precise nature of cultural and chronological relationships that link assemblages but imply that such relationships exist.

## Quotes

* The palaeoanthropologists of the early twentieth century were thus able to put together a view of human evolution which can be seen as an extension of the cyclic or rhythmic theory of progress advocated throughout the Victorian era. Despite its emphasis on struggle as the means by which higher types displaced their primitive antecedents, this was no product of Darwinian gradualism. Most of its supporters rejected natural selection as the motor of progressive evolution, preferring to invoke some vaguely defined creative force in the central Asian heartland. The fact that both the concept of progress through cycles and the fascination with Asia as the centre of development survived well into the twentieth century reveals the power these Victorian ages had to shape the imagination. The echoes of Max Muller's account of Aryan migrations can still be heard in the theories of human origins by archaeologists and anthropologists committed to the idea of continuous evolution. But once the faith in continuous progress was undermined by growing militarism in the age of imperial rivalries, the model of progress through conquest emerged from the wings to extend its influence over ideas on human origins. The early twentieth century merely extended the sense of racial destiny that had been growing throughout the Victorian era.

## Quotes

* The study of theology requires humility and the search for truth as well as charity and love. Transform study into a life experience and a genuine spiritual journey. Knowledge of Christ is attained following a double path: the intellectual path, through theological study, and mystical knowledge, through prayer and the sacramental life. Both one and the other are necessary to live an authentic evangelical faith and to be able to transmit it to others.
