SUMMARY:Dr. Christoph Baumer (Author) - The History of Central Asia: The Age of Decline and Revival
DESCRIPTION:*** N.B. This is a joint event with the RSAA and will take place at the Brunei Gallery at SOAS *** \nJoin us for the launch of Dr. Christoph Baumer’s The History of Central Asia: The Age of Decline and Revival. \nFor more than a hundred years\, Central Asia was the heartland of the mightiest military power on the planet. But after the fragmentation of the all-conquering Mongol polity\, the region began a steep decline which rendered this former domain of horse lords peripheral to world affairs. The process of deterioration reached its nadir in the second half of the nineteenth century\, when the former territories and sweeping steppes of the great khans were overrun by Tsarist Russia. In the concluding volume of his acclaimed Central Asia quartet\, Christoph Baumer shows how China in the east\, and Russia in the northwest\, succeeded in throwing off the Mongol yoke to become the masters of their own previous rulers. He suggests that\, as traditional transcontinental trade routes declined in importance\, it was the `Great Game’ – or cold war between Imperial Russia and Great Britain – which finally brought Central Asia back into play as a region of strategic importance. This epic history concludes with an assessment of the transition to modern independence of the Central Asian states and their struggle to contain radical Islamism.

SUMMARY:Dr. Yossef Rapoport (Queen Mary\, UoL) - Lost Maps of the Caliphs: Drawing the World in Eleventh-Century Cairo - Lecture and Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:LOST MAPS OF THE CALIPHS \nDrawing the World in Eleventh-Century Cairo \nby Yossef Rapoport and Emilie Savage-Smith \nAbout a millennium ago\, an unknown author in Cairo completed a large and richly illustrated book. In the course of thirty-five chapters\, this book guided the reader on a journey from the outermost cosmos and planets to Earth and its lands\, islands\, features and inhabitants. This treatise\, known as The Book of Curiosities\, was unknown to modern scholars until a remarkable manuscript copy was discovered in 2000. \nLOST MAPS OF THE CALIPHS opens with an account of the extraordinary discovery of the manuscript and its purchase by the Bodleian Library. The authors then use The Book of Curiosities to re-evaluate the development of astrology\, geography and cartography in the first four centuries of Islam. Their account assesses the transmission of Late Antique geography to the Islamic world\, unearths the logic behind abstract maritime diagrams\, and considers the palaces and walls that dominate medieval Islamic plans of towns and ports. Early astronomical maps and drawings demonstrate the medieval understanding of the structure of the cosmos and illustrate the pervasive assumption that almost any visible celestial event had an effect upon life on Earth. LOST MAPS OF THE CALIPHS also reconsiders the history of global communication networks at the turn of the previous millennium. It shows the Fatimid Empire\, and its capital Cairo\, as a global maritime power\, with tentacles spanning the eastern Mediterranean to the Indus Valley and the East African coast. \nAs LOST MAPS OF THE CALIPHS makes clear\, not only is The Book of Curiosities one of the greatest achievements of medieval mapmaking\, it is also a remarkable contribution to the story of Islamic civilization that opens an unexpected window to the medieval Islamic view of the world. \n“With its focus on eleventh-century Fatimid Cairo\, Lost Maps of the Caliphs reinterprets early Islamic apprehensions of the earth and the heavens\, while reorienting our modern understanding of medieval Arabic map-making and its part in the transmission of Late Antique cartographic knowledge. A remarkable and important book of dazzling scholarship.”  —Jerry Brotton\, author of A History of the World in Twelve Maps \n“The two authors\, Savage-Smith on the heavens and Rapoport on the earth\, explain The Book of Curiosities with exemplary scholarship and lucidity. Like the manuscript itself\, this companion volume vastly enhances our understanding of the classical Arabic worldview in all its rich complexity.” —Hugh N. Kennedy\, SOAS\, University of London \n“Lost Maps of the Caliphs is organized along the lines of the original manuscript\, and exceptionally well documented\, using a dazzling range of sources in an equally dazzling range of languages.  The result is totally fascinating\, with untold potential to illuminate any treatment of the medieval world on any continent in the Eastern Hemisphere.”—Ingrid Rowland\, University of Notre Dame \nYossef Rapoport is a Reader in Islamic History\, Queen Mary University of London \nEmilie Savage-Smith\, Fellow of the British Academy is recently retired as Professor the History of Islamic Science at the Oriental Institute\, University of Oxford.  She continues as Fellow Archivist of St Cross College. \nAbout Bodleian Library Publishing \nBodleian Publishing has a diverse list of gift\, general interest and scholarly books on a wide range of subjects drawn from or related to the Library’s rich collections of manuscripts\, rare books\, maps\, postcards and other printed ephemera.

SUMMARY:Dr. Talat Ahmed in conversation with Professor David Arnold - Mohandas Gandhi: Experiments in Civil Disobedience (Book Launch)
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Asiatic Society will host a book launch of Talat Ahmed’s new critical biography Mohandas Gandhi: Experiments in Civil Disobedience\, which highlights the contradictions in Gandhi’s non-violent philosophy. Dr Ahmed will discuss the book with Professor David Arnold followed by a question and answer session\, with copies of the book available for purchase after the lecture. \n  \nMohandas Gandhi: Experiments in Civil Disobedience\n\n\n\n\nMohandas Gandhi\, icon of Indian liberation\, remains an inspiration for anti-capitalists and peace activists globally. His campaigns for national liberation based on non-violence and mass civil disobedience were critical to defeating the power of the British Empire. \nThis biography examines his campaigns from South Africa to India to evaluate the successes and failures of non-violent resistance. Seventy years after his death\, his legacy remains contested: was he a saint\, revolutionary\, class conciliator\, or self-obsessed spiritual zealot? \nThe contradictions of Gandhi’s politics are unpicked through an analysis of the social forces at play in the mass movement around him. Entrusted to liberate the oppressed of India\, his key support base were industrialists\, landlords and the rich peasantry. Gandhi’s moral imperatives often clashed with these vested material interests\, as well as with more radical currents to his left. \nToday\, our world is scarred by permanent wars\, racism and violence\, environmental destruction and economic crisis. Can non-violent resistance win against state and corporate power? This book explores Gandhi’s experiments in civil disobedience to assess their relevance for struggles today. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEndorsements\n\n\n\n\n\n‘Cuts through the extensive literature on Gandhi to produce a vibrant portrait of a world historical figure … avoiding a simplistic judgement on this vastly important man for India’s national struggle’ – Vijay Prashad\, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research \n‘Considering all the biographies that glorify Gandhi\, this concise book adopts a refreshing and consistently critical approach’ – Dr Yasmin Khan\, author of ‘The Raj at War: A People’s History of India’s Second World War’ \n‘This is an outstanding book on Gandhi’s life. Ahmed relates Gandhi to the struggles of anti-imperialist forces and illuminates his innovations in tactics of political resistance’ – Meghnad Desai\, author of ‘The Rediscovery of India’ \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAuthor Biography\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTalat Ahmed is Lecturer in South Asian History at the University of Edinburgh. She is a Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society and the author of Mohandas Gandhi: Experiments in Civil Disobedience (Pluto\, 2018) and of a study of the All-India Progressive Writers’ Association entitled Literature and Politics in the Age of Nationalism: The Progressive Episode in South Asia\, 1932-56 (Routledge\, 2009). \n  \n\n\nProfessor David Arnold\n\n\n\nSince his early research\, on nationalist politics in south India in the 1920s and 1930s\, his work has ranged widely over the history of modern South Asia\, and beyond\, and has included social and environmental history and the history of science\, technology and medicine. Along with David Hardiman he was a founder member of the Subaltern Studies group of historians of South Asia. \nHe is currently writing a history of South Asia and developing research on food and ‘everyday technology’ in South and Southeast Asia. \nDavid Arnold’s work has been translated into several languages (including Portugese\, Spanish\, Russian\, Chinese\, Japanese and Korean). \nHis publications include: \n\nColonizing the Body: State Medicine and Epidemic Disease in Nineteenth-Century India (1993)\nThe Problem of Nature (1996)\nScience\, Technology and Medicine in Colonial India (2000)\nGandhi (2001)\nThe Tropics and the Traveling Gaze (2006)

SUMMARY:Lecture and Book Launch - Dominic Faulder (Author): Anand Panyarachun and the Making of Modern Thailand
DESCRIPTION:Anand Panyarachun and the Making of Modern Thailand \nThe long career of Anand Panyarachun\, Thailand’s former prime minister and elder statesman\, is one of distinguished public service that sweeps across diplomacy\, business\, politics\, social reform\, and philanthropy; he is widely regarded as a progressive figure dedicated to the betterment of his compatriots\, improving global understanding\, and the development of Thailand. Anand’s life also contains moments of significant drama and numerous situations that put his mettle to the test. \n\nDominic Faulder’s 600-page book recounts the key events in the elderly statesman’s long life – from his childhood in Bangkok during the Second World War through to the derailment of his diplomatic career in 1976\, his two unexpected tenures as an appointed prime minister\, his role in the drafting the ‘People’s Constitution’ of 1997\, and much more. This authorised biography is based on six years of in-depth research\, over 60 interviews with Anand himself\, and with more than 100 others who have encountered or worked closely alongside him. \n  \nAbout the Author \nOriginally from London\, Dominic Faulder has been based in Bangkok since the early 1980s and has worked for numerous news organisations and publications. He was previously a special correspondent with the Hong Kong newsweekly Asiaweek\, and had particular involvement in the coverage of Burma/Myanmar and Cambodia in the 1980s and 1990s. He has been an associate editor with the Tokyo-based Nikkei Asian Review since 2014. \n \nREVIEW EXTRACTS \n“This splendid book … Dominic Faulder has given us a remarkably broad and deep view of one of Thailand’s great political figures.” Chris Baker\, Bangkok Post. \n“Dominic Faulder’s new biography is a very welcome addition to the rather sparse English-language offerings on former Thai political leaders … the book is highly recommended.” Dr Greg Raymond\, New Mandala. \n“Anand is the proverbial lens through which the reader views Thailand’s development … Faulder took an ambitious approach to his bio-history of Anand and his times\, and his efforts paid off. Those interested in Thailand should make room on the shelf.” Benjamin Zawacki\, Kyoto Review of Southeast Asia. \n“All said\, this important work will set the standard for biographies of many other significant figures in contemporary Thai history that are long overdue.” Paul Wedel\, Mekong Review. \n“Faulder has done a thorough job researching and writing this book … [it] is insightful and accessible to experts on Thailand and laypeople alike.” Dr Paul Chambers\, Asia Sentinel. \n“A weighty biography … As Faulder writes\, the former prime minister’s two shortlived administrations in the early 1990s are judged to have been the least corrupt and\, in many respects\, the most effective in Thai history [earning him] a reputation as ‘the best prime minister Thailand never elected’.” Victor Mallet\, Financial Times.

SUMMARY:Joint Book Launch and Discussion: From Stone to Paper: Architecture as History in the Late Mughal Empire and Ottoman Baroque: The Architectural Refashioning of Eighteenth-Century Istanbul
DESCRIPTION: From Stone to Paper: Architecture as History in the Late Mughal Empire\nand\nOttoman Baroque: The Architectural Refashioning of Eighteenth-Century Istanbul\nDiscussion and Book Launch\nOn Friday June 28th The Royal Asiatic Society will host a joint book launch of Chanchal B. Dadlani’s From Stone to Paper: Architecture as History in the Late Mughal Empire and Ünver Rüstem’s Ottoman Baroque: The Architectural Refashioning of Eighteenth-Century Istanbul. Chairing the discussion will be Dr. Sussan Babaie (Andrew W. Mellon Reader in the Arts of Iran and Islam\, The Courtauld Institute of Art). \n \nBy the 18th century\, the Mughal Empire was well beyond its so-called golden age. Its control of the Indian subcontinent was increasingly threatened by regional Indian states\, as well as by the encroaching British Empire. In response to a rapidly changing sociopolitical landscape\, the Mughal emperors used architecture to harness their illustrious past and stage cultural authority for contemporary audiences. Chanchal Dadlani provides the first in-depth look at this crucial period of architectural history. Discussing a rich array of built forms and urban spaces—from grand imperial mosques to Delhi’s bustling thoroughfares—the volume sheds light on long-overlooked buildings. It also explores representations of architectural monuments that circulated in the form of building plans\, manuscript paintings\, and postcards. Ultimately\, the book reveals how Mughal architects\, artists\, and patrons built on the cultural legacy of their imperial predecessors to create the very concept of a historical style identifiable as Mughal. \nReview Highlights \n“In a bold new cultural history\, Dadlani traces how Mughal architectural style was canonized over the 18th century\, just in time to become one with the very idea of India in the Western imagination.”—A. Azfar Moin\, The University of Texas at Austin \n“Professor Chanchal Dadlani has produced the first full-length book on 18th-century Mughal architecture whose buildings are often dismissed as unworthy of study.  Her exciting and richly illustrated volume provides deep insight to this period\, making us rethink our fundamental understandings of the later Mughals.”—Catherine B. Asher\, University of Minnesota \nBio \nChanchal Dadlani is Associate Professor of Art History at Wake Forest University. Her first book\, From Stone to Paper: Architecture as History in the Late Mughal Empire (Yale University Press\, 2018)\, received a Mellon Author Award from the Society of Architectural Historians. Her research has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the Getty Research Institute\, Fulbright-Hays\, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. She has also lectured widely at universities\, museums and research institutes in the United States and Europe\, and delivered the annual Benjamin Zucker Lecture in Mughal Art at the Victoria & Albert Museum in 2017. Her work has been published in Ars Orientalis\, Artforum\, and Art History on topics including Mughal art\, exchanges between France and India\, and the global reception of contemporary South Asian art. Prior to coming to Wake Forest\, she was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University. She received her Ph.D. from Harvard University. \n  \n \nWith its idiosyncratic yet unmistakable adaptation of European Baroque models\, the eighteenth-century architecture of Istanbul has frequently been dismissed by modern observers as inauthentic and derivative\, a view reflecting broader unease with notions of Western influence on Islamic cultures. In Ottoman Baroque—the first English-language book on the topic—Ünver Rüstem provides a compelling reassessment of this building style and shows how between 1740 and 1800 the Ottomans consciously coopted European forms to craft a new\, politically charged\, and globally resonant image for their empire’s capital. \n  \nRüstem reclaims the label “Ottoman Baroque” as a productive framework for exploring the connectedness of Istanbul’s eighteenth-century buildings to other traditions of the period. Using a wealth of primary sources\, he demonstrates that this architecture was in its own day lauded by Ottomans and foreigners alike for its fresh\, cosmopolitan effect. Purposefully and creatively assimilated\, the style’s cross-cultural borrowings were combined with Byzantine references that asserted the Ottomans’ entitlement to the Classical artistic heritage of Europe. Such aesthetic rebranding was part of a larger endeavor to reaffirm the empire’s power at a time of intensified East-West contact\, taking its boldest shape in a series of imperial mosques built across the city as landmarks of a state-sponsored idiom. \n  \nCopiously illustrated and drawing on previously unpublished documents\, Ottoman Baroque breaks new ground in our understanding of Islamic visual culture in the modern era and offers a persuasive counterpoint to Eurocentric accounts of global art history. \n  \nReviews \n“Ottoman Baroque takes a reflective and fine-grained look at a major stylistic turn in Ottoman architecture that has previously been dismissed and misunderstood in modern scholarship. Ünver Rüstem boldly reclaims the topic with an alternative and highly original critical perspective.”—Ahmet Ersoy\, Boğaziçi University \n“Ünver Rüstem’s book offers a highly original mapping of local and foreign perceptions of the Ottoman Baroque’s aesthetic syncretism. By attending to the changing architectural ambitions of imperial mosque construction in the Ottoman capital\, Istanbul\, Rüstem’s study deftly navigates this period of robust artistic dialogue and cross-cultural transfer. Historiographically attuned\, visually compelling\, and thoughtfully written\, this is a must-read for anyone engaged with the global Baroque.”—Mary Roberts\, The University of Sydney \n  \nBio \nÜnver Rüstem is Assistant Professor of Islamic Art and Architecture at Johns Hopkins University. His research centers on the Ottoman Empire in its later centuries and on questions of cross-cultural exchange and interaction. He received his PhD from Harvard University and has held fellowships at Columbia University\, the University of Cambridge\, and Harvard University. In addition to his new book\, he has published articles and chapters on subjects ranging from the reception of illustrated Islamic manuscripts to the symbolic deployment of ceremonial in the context of Ottoman architecture. At present\, he is working on a new book project that explores the role of costume in Ottoman interactions with Western Europe during the early modern and modern periods.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED / POSTPONED Olivia Cox-Fill Book Launch - Walking a Tightrope
DESCRIPTION:THIS BOOK LAUNCH HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19. WE HOPE TO RESCHEDULE AT A FUTURE DATE. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. \n  \n  \nWhen Dr Wu Jieping was selected by Chinese Premier Zhou En lai as his personal physician\, he had little choice in the matter though it transformed his life\, not always in a positive way. \nOlivia Cox-Fill got to know Dr Wu Jieping following the death of Zhou En Lai and while Mao’s wife was still in prison. He had attended several of China’s leaders\, including Premier Zhou En Lai\, Chairman Mao\, Liu Shao Chi and Madame Mao. Over a period of three years\, Olivia Cox-Fill interviewed Dr Wu and gathered vivid and unique recollections of his contacts with the Chinese leadership. But Wu specified that none of these memories should be published until after his death\, which occurred in 2011\, since its frank revelations would lead to state repercussions. The memoir reveals the appalling conditions in China as experienced by one of its most famous doctors\, who carried out research into TB and kidney cancer while attending to the health of the country’s leaders. It also shows what it took to survive in Communist China at a time when most leading intellectuals were expelled to the countryside\, imprisoned or beaten to death. \n \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Uday S. Kulkarni Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY  \nVIRTUAL BOOK LAUNCH \nOf  Uday S. Kulkarni’s \nThe Extraordinary Epoch of Nanasaheb Peshwa \n1st December 2020 at 2pm (UK time) / 7.30pm (Indian time) \nIf you would like to attend\, please contact Matty Bradley by e-mail:  mb@royalasiaticsociety.org \nand the Zoom link and password will be provided. Please note the number of attendees is limited so early registration is advised. Please register by the 30th November \nThe mid-eighteenth century began with the Marathas as the paramount power in India\, and in the next two decades\, they rose in power and prestige. In the Carnatic\, Bengal\, Rajputana\, Malwa\, Bundelkhand they were supreme\, and in Delhi\, the Marathas ruled while the Mughal king reigned. In this period when Nanasaheb Peshwa was at the helm\, the Maratha power reached its zenith. But that was not the entire story. The events of the mid-eighteenth century are pivotal\, and determined the course of the next five decades. The rise of the Europeans in the south and the east added a new dimension\, so that this epoch eventually emerged as the crossroad of Indian history. This book narrates that engrossing story. The book is published in hardcover\, with over 40 colour pictures on art plates and 27 maps and illustrations. The 500-page book is copiously annotated with over a thousand references and has a bibliography and a glossary along with an introduction to principal characters and important genealogies. \nUday S. Kulkarni has written six historical nonfiction books on 18th Century India. An alumnus of the Armed Forces Medical College in Pune and a surgeon by profession\, Kulkarni served in the Indian Navy retiring in the rank of Surgeon Commander.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Making of Islamic Art: Studies in Honour of Sheila Blair and Jonathan Bloom
DESCRIPTION:A conversation with Sheila Blair and Jonathan Bloom\, chaired by\nProfessor Robert Hillenbrand and Professor Carole Hillenbrand \n  \nIn their own words\, Jonathan Bloom and Sheila Blair espouse ‘things and thinginess rather than theories and isations’. Its many insights\, firmly anchored in artistic practice\, are supported by ample technical know-how. The range is wide – mosques becoming temples; how religious buildings reflect politics; Yemeni frescoes and inscriptions; domestic Syrian 18th-century ornament; Egyptian bookbinding techniques; recycling and repair in Damascene crafts; conservation versus restoration; narrative on ceramics; metalwork with architectural motifs; lost buildings reconstructed; how objects speak; Muslim burials in China; the role of migrating potters; Mughal painting; stone carpet weights; the use of metals in Islamic manuscripts\, calligraphy and modern artists’ books. This book’s practical\, down-to-earth dimension\, expressed in plain\, simple English\, runs counter to the current fashion for theoretical explanations and their accompanying jargon when exploring the world of Islamic art. This bottom–up approach differs radically and refreshingly from that of much top-down contemporary scholarship. It privileges the maker rather than the patron. \nAttendees will also receive a 35% discount code upon registration.

SUMMARY:Reflections on Mughal Art & Culture
DESCRIPTION:  \nReflections on Mughal Art and Culture\, recently published\, explores the rich aesthetic and cultural legacy of the Mughal Empire with new\, insightful material researched by 13 leading scholars in the field. The articles in the book discuss varied subjects under the Mughal umbrella\, challenge long-held ideas and draw comparisons between the artistic expressions and material culture of the powerful Islamicate triumvirate of the early modern period. During the first half of this presentation\, Roda Ahluwalia\, editor of the book\, will explore the diversity in chapters as well as common threads that run through them\, unifying the book in aesthetic and cultural identity.  \n  \nIn the second half of this presentation Kavita Singh\, Professor\, School of Arts and Aesthetics\, JNU\, Delhi\, will discuss her contribution to the volume in which she  discusses the text-image relationship of select examples from the Akbarnama\, Jahangirnama and Padshahnama to show significant divergences between the words and images that often faced each other across the page. She will focus on one of the examples discussed in her essay\, through which she will explore reasons for the ‘gaps’ between word and image and weave her way to a keen and perceptive conclusion.”

SUMMARY:Professor Dionisius Agius: The Life of the Red Sea Dhow: A Cultural History of Seaborne Exploration in the Islamic World
DESCRIPTION:Few images are as evocative as the silhouette of the Arab dhow as\, under full sail\, it tacks to windward on glittering waters of Red Sea before moving across the face of the rising or setting sun. In this authoritative new book\, Dionisius A. Agius\, one of the foremost scholars of Islamic material culture\, offers a lucid and wide-ranging history of the iconic dhow from medieval to modern times. Traversing the Arabian and African coasts\, he shows that the dhow was central not just to commerce but to the vital transmission and exchange of ideas. Discussing trade and salt routes\, shoals and wind patterns\, spice harvest seasons and the deep and resonant connection between language\, memory and oral tradition\, this is the first book to place the dhow in its full and remarkable cultural contexts. \nDionisius A. Agius is Al Qasimi Professor of Arabic Studies and Islamic Material Culture at the University of Exeter\, UK. He is the author of numerous books including Seafaring in the Arabian Gulf and Oman (2005)\, winner of The Abdullah Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah Foundation and British-Kuwait Friendship Society Book Prize\, and Class Ships of Islam (2008). He is a Fellow of the British Academy\, the Royal Society of Arts and the Royal Geographical Society.

SUMMARY:Leena Dhingra Book Launch:  Exhumation - The Life and Death of Madan Lal Dhingra
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 6.30pm on Monday 13th December for the book launch of Leena Dhingra’s Exhumation: The Life and Death of Madan Lal Dhingra. \n \n\n\n\n\nOn 17th August 1909\, Madan Lal Dhingra was executed in Pentonville Prison for the assassination of Sir William Hutt Curzon Wyllie\, a high-ranking official from the British India office. Viewed as a murderer in the UK\, in India Madan Lal is seen as a great patriot\, a freedom fighter\, and a martyr. In 1976\, his remains were exhumed\, and his body returned to India. In Exhumation\, Madan Lal’s great niece\, the actor and writer Leena Dhingra\, unravels and reveals his remarkable story. \nPart history\, part memoir\, this is also the story of Leena’s journey to come to terms with this painful episode from her family’s past. Exhumation: The Life and Death of Madan Lal Dhingra is a compelling story of family secrets that throws light on the dark legacy of colonialism. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeena Dhingra was born in India\, and came to Europe after the 1947 Partition of India. Her first novel Amritvela was published in 1988. An author and actor\, her TV credits include The Bill\, Casualty\, Prime Suspect and Dr Who. She has also starred in EastEnders and Coronation Street\, and most recently appeared in the Channel 4 drama series Ackley Bridge. A Londoner for 40 years\, Leena Dhingra now lives near Manchester.
