		Bhabha's uncle was Sir Dorab Tata (married to Bhabha's father's sister), son of the founder of the powerful Tata group.
		Bhabha showed an immediate visionary interest in nuclear technology, apparently independently detecting the existence of the Manhattan Project during the war by noticing the absence of publications from the leading physicists with which he was acquainted.
		The power that Bhabha held is no where more sharply illustrated by the fact that in the wake of China's first nuclear test PM Lal Bahadur Shastri, Nehru's successor, found it necessary to align his policies with the preferences of Dr. Bhabha, and secure his personal endorsement to withstand legislative and public criticism.

	Homi Jehangir Bhabha
		Homi Jehangir Bhabha was born on 30 October 1909 in a wealthy Parsi family of Bombay (recently renamed as Mumbai).
		Bhabha was taught by Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac (1902-84), who was Lucasian Professor of Mathematics (1932-69) at Cambridge and awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933 with Erwin Schrodinger (1887-1961) for their work in quantum theory.
		Bhabha was killed in an air-crash near the famous Mont Blanc peak of the Alps on January 24, 1966, while he was on his way to Vienna to attend a meeting of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

	Harvard Gazette: Telling tales out of, and in, class
		Homi Bhabha was born in India, but he is quick to add that he is a Parsi, a member of an Indian minority with a population of only about 160,000 worldwide.
		Bhabha's view of the literary universe is one in which borders are extremely porous and national identities may be exceedingly ambiguous.
		Bhabha's interest in narrative as a moral phenomenon extends into areas not usually thought of as literary, such as committees of truth and reconciliation that have been convened in the aftermath of traumatic national events in countries such as Bosnia and South Africa.

	Homi Bhabha
		Homi Jehangir, a Parsi by birth, was western in his upbringing-he was fed on a diet of Beethoven, Chopin, Shakespeare, a culture entailing the use of knives and forks-but he was a man of the renaissance that ushered independence to India.
		Bhabha Bhabha also discovered the now famous hard component of cosmic shower in India while he was at the Indian institute of Science, Bangalore.

	Bhabha: Nation and Nationalism
		Homi Bhabha takes as his starting-point the idea of the imagined community, and examines the nature of nationalist discourses.
		Bhabha accepts that nations – like the narratives that give form and meaning to a culture – are ambivalent and hybrid constructions.
		As Bhabha (1990) writes in his essay, DissemiNation, the modern nation, “becomes a liminal form of social representation, a space that is internally marked by cultural difference and the heterogeneous histories of contending peoples, antagonistic authorities, and tense cultural locations” (p.

	Homi K. Bhabha
		Bhabha said, is "probably a bit of both." His prose style owes something to the arcane literary theory he studied at Oxford — in particular, that of the French philosophers Derrida and Lacan.
		Bhabha got to Oxford in the 1970's, scholars were discussing cultural encounters, especially those between European powers and their colonies in the third world, in terms not of dialogue or exchange but rather stark polarities: East and West, oppressors and victims, powerful and powerless.
		Bhabha's theory, developed in a series of essays written in the late 1980's and early 1990's while he was a professor at Sussex University in England, brought him to the attention of American scholars and helped him land an appointment at the University of Chicago in 1994.

		Bhabha was strongly opposed to the production of an atomic bomb by India, even though the country had the resources to build one, arguing that nuclear energy should be used instead to relieve the poverty and misery of India's people.
		Bhabha received many honorary degrees from Indian and foreign universities and was a member of numerous scientific societies, including the National Academy of Sciences in the United States.
		Bhabha was killed, at the height of his prestige in the Indian scientific and political world, in an airplane crash in Switzerland on Jan. 24, 1966.

	Presidential Lectures: Homi Bhabha
		Bhabha has, in fact, become one of the most recognized names in the critical current known as Postcolonialism, a current with a distinct interest in ethnicity and culture.
		And in the same way that Bhabha is the theorist of cultural hybridity and in-betweenness, so he himself is "a mediating figure between activists and academics," as his colleague W. Mitchell told the University of Chicago Chronicle in 1995.
		So Bhabha's writing, never simply academic and never singly theoretical, has restored a third (or even perhaps adds a fourth) dimension to critical discourse of the past ten years.

		Bhabha noted the large-scale use of cow dung as fuel, thus depriving the soil of biological nutrients.
		A crucial initiative Bhabha took was the construction of a plant at Trombay for separating plutonium from irradiated fuel.

	The "Interstitial Perspective" of Homi Bhabha
		Bhabha seems to be most comfortable when he alludes to poststructuralist theory, especially to the writings of Derrida and Lacan.
		Bhabha, who wants to see this "narrative struggle" as the "repression of a 'cultural' unconscious; a liminal, uncertain state of cultural belief when the archaic emerges in the midst of margins of modernity" (LC 143), makes a curious clinamen that somewhat gives his game away.
		Whereas Bhabha's cultural model is characterized by its hybridities and liminalities -- the nation, we are told again and again, is an arena of contestation and rival performativities--the artwork has, evidently, no more than instrumental value, illustrating and exemplifying the political and ideological thesis of the critic who happens to find it of use.

		Therefore Bhabha insists on inhabiting the "liminal" or "interstitial" space between disciplines; it is from this space that he both reveals and contributes to the intertwining of politics and theory.
		Bhabha insists that the oppressed culture is not simply rendered mute, but rather participates in the formation of an identity that is neither purely that of the colonists nor that of the colonized; it is a "third space" that is mutually forged.
		Bhabha’s essay questions the "blanket" use of the norms of Western culture, which are held up as the measure of success in the acculturation discussion among Post-Colonial critics, multi-culturalists, and feminists.

		As early as 1934, Bhabha, in a letter to his brother, writes of Lorenzo, the grand patron of the European Renaissance, “He was as great a genius as practically any in the Renaissance… although he was not a painter himself.
		Bhabha not only believed that an industrial society is a secular, scientific and progressive society, but its cultural expressions would be equally secular and scientific in its approach.
		Bhabha was not merely a scientist nor an administrator but an intellectual with the vision that constructed a wider base of science and its relationship to culture.

	Homi K. Bhabha: an Overview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		There is a damaging and self-defeating assumption that theory is necessarily the elite language of the socially and culturally privileged.
		Bhabha's Nation and Narration (1990) is primarily an intervention into "essentialist" readings of nationality that attempt to define and naturalize Third World "nations" by means of the supposedly homogenous, innate, and historically continuous traditions that falsely define and ensure their subordinate status.
		In The Location of Culture, Bhabha extends his explanation of the "liminal" or "interstitial" category that occupies a space "between" competing cultural traditions, historical periods, and critical methodologies.

		Homi Bhabha was born into the Parsi community of Bombay and grew up in the shade of the Fire Temple.
		Bhabha is a leading voice in postcolonial studies and is highly influenced by Western poststructuralist theorists, notably Jacques Derrida, Jacques Lacan, and Michel Foucault.
		In the Location of Culture (1994), Bhabha uses concepts such as mimicry, interstice, hybridity, and liminality--all influenced by semiotics and Lacanian psychoanalysis--to argue that cultural production is always most productive where it is most ambivalent.

		Bhabha's gaffe was at least comprehensible, whereas--as I would soon discover--nothing else he said made any sense at all.
		Bhabha wheeled abruptly into a faux-Foucaultian reading of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which, he said, deplorably extended its protections only to the citizens of sovereign states--although, he added in a dense parenthesis, there was, in fact, no such restriction in the Declaration.
		Bhabha offered up in sentences of such protracted and pretentious emptiness that you might have thought that he was kidding, although not a single snort or titter ever broke the church-like silence of his auditors, the youthful hundreds rapt or scribbling reverently, and the man himself showed not a trace of irony.

		Homi Bhabha is one of that small group occupying the front ranks of cultural theoretical thought.
		Bhabha is the only post-colonial theorist who has an adequate grasp of historical dynamics in constructing identity, while remaining unafraid to problematize notions of historicity.
		This offering from Homi Bhaba is definitely in the running to win the grand prize for the most obstruse, deliberately arcane piece of academic prose in the past decade -- no mean feat.
