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:Omar Khan (Author) - Book Launch: Paper Jewels: Postcards from the Raj
DESCRIPTION:Paper Jewels Postcards from the Raj by Omar Khan\, a 518 Vintage Postcard Tour of India\, Pakistan and Sri Lanka\, is co-published by Mapin Publishing and the Alkazi Collection of Photography (August 2018). \nPostcards were to people in 1900 what the Internet was to the world in 2000. Postcards were the world’s first mass transfusion of color images. We went from thousands to billions of postcards in a handful of years. The finest painters and graphic artists from India\, Austria\, Britain\, France\, Italy and the US became involved. \nPaper Jewels is the story of postcards during the Raj and the first book on the subject. It uncovers such gems as the early postcards of the great Indian painter M. V. Dhurandhar and the Ravi Varma Press in Mumbai\, the exceptional work of an early Austrian lithographer in Kolkata\, a British photographer in Peshawar\, and Indian studios in Jaipur\, Kashmir\, Delhi\, Lahore\, Madras\, Karachi and elsewhere. \nIt is organized by place into a dozen chapters. The essays cover the key themes important to postcard publishing—religion\, dancers\, teas and soaps\, famines\, fakirs\, humour\, warfare and the role of postcards in the Independence movement. It tells the stories of the first postcard publishers of the subcontinent between 1892 and 1947\, most of whose images have not been seen since they were published a century ago. \nPaper Jewels relies almost entirely on new primary research in archives and private collections in India\, Pakistan\, Europe and the US\, and explores the many artistic\, business\, fashion\, political and technical developments that contributed to the rise of a medium – the postcard – that is still very much with us today. \nThe book is available on Amazon in India\, the US and is available for pre-order in the UK (release Oct. 1). \n

SUMMARY:Illustrated Lecture: Buddhist Rock-Cut Monasteries of the Western Ghats Drs. George Michell and Gethin Rees
DESCRIPTION:RAS Event Flyer Final \n27 MARCH 2018 6.30PM; followed by wine reception\nROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY\n14 STEPHENSON WAY\nLONDON\, NW1 2HD\nPlease rsvp to: ar@royalasiaticosciety.org\nThis lecture marks the publication of an illustrated guidebook coauthored\nby the archaeologist Dr. Gethin Rees and the\narchitectural historian Dr. George Michell\, recently issued by the\nDeccan Heritage Foundation. The volume focuses not on the well\nknown rock-cut sites of Ajanta and Ellora\, but on the less visited\,\nbut no less significant sites near the towns of Nashik and Junnar\,\nand at Karla\, Bhaja Bedsa\, Kondane and Kanheri\, all in the rugged\nlandscape of the Westerrn Ghats in Maharashtra. Known as\nchaityas and viharas\, these magnificent shrines and dwellings\nwere cut into the basalt cliffs of the Western Ghats more than\n2\,000 years ago. They survive today as among the earliest and\nbest-preserved examples of Buddhist architecture and art in all\nIndia.\nLocated near to trade routes that wound their way through\nmountain passes\, linking the lucrative Arabian Sea ports of\npeninsular India to the Deccan hinterland\, the cutting of the caves\ntogether with their resident monks and nuns were supported by\nmerchants and craft guilds\, as well as by local kings and queens. In\nthe lecture Rees will discuss the historic\, economic and geographic\nbackground to the monasteries\, while Michell will focus on the\narchitectural developments during these early times and the\ncarvings that adorned the various shrines and dwellings.\nCopies of the 128 page guidebook may be purchased after the\nlecture at a cost of £15.00\, payable by cash or cheque only.

SUMMARY:Book Launch and Discussion: Malarial Subjects by Rohan Deb Roy
DESCRIPTION:Simon Layton (Chair). Speakers include Dr. Nayanika Mathur (Oxford)\, Professor Clare Anderson (Leicester)\, Professor Richard Drayton (King’s College\, London)\,\nDr. Sujit Sivasundaram (Cambridge)\, Professor Simon Schaffer (Cambridge) \nMalaria was considered one of the most widespread disease-causing entities in the nineteenth century. It was associated with a variety of frailties far beyond fevers\, ranging from idiocy to impotence. And yet\, it was not a self-contained category. The reconsolidation of malaria as a diagnostic category during this period happened within a wider context in which cinchona plants and their most valuable extract\, quinine\, were reinforced as objects of natural knowledge and social control. In India\, the exigencies and apparatuses of British imperial rule occasioned the close interactions between these histories. In the process\, British imperial rule became entangled with a network of nonhumans that included\, apart from cinchona plants and the drug quinine\, a range of objects described as malarial\, as well as mosquitoes. Malarial Subjects explores this history of the co-constitution of a cure and disease\, of British colonial rule and nonhumans\, and of science\, medicine and empire.\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press\nISBN: 9781107172364\nNumber of pages: 346\nWeight: 700 g\nDimensions: 228 x 152 x 21 mm

SUMMARY:Book  Launch  - Pagan Christmas by Augusto Cacopardo
DESCRIPTION:PAGAN CHRISTMAS: WINTER FEASTS OF THE KALASHA OF THE HINDU KUSH \nBOOK LAUNCH & DISCUSSION WITH AUTHOR \nThis authoritative work sheds light on the religious world of the Kalasha people of the Birir valley of the Pakistani district of Chitral\, focusing on their winter feasts which culminate in a great winter solstice festival. The Kalasha represent the last example of the pre-Islamic cultures of the Hindu Kush/Karakorum\, but are also the only observable example\, worldwide\, of an archaic Indo-European religion. Cacopardo addresses the historical and cultural context of the area and\, referencing an array of relevant literature\, offers comparisons with the Indian world and the religious folklore of Europe. \nInterdisciplinary and based on extensive field research\, Pagan Christmas is the first extended ethnographic study devoted to this little known Kalasha community and represents a standard international reference source on the anthropology\, ethnography and history of religions of Pakistan and Central South Asia. \nAugusto S. Cacopardo has conducted anthropological research in Pakistan under the aegis of the Istituto Italiano per l’Africa e l’Oriente and is Professor of Ethnography at the University of Florence. \n \n

SUMMARY:Charles Allen History and Myth: India and Britain Seventy Years On
DESCRIPTION:A fascinating exploration of the roots of Indian history by the acclaimed author of Ashoka.\n\nCoromandel was the name given by European traders to India’s south-eastern seaboard\, a corruption of the Tamil Cholamandalam\, after the temple-building Chola kings who ruled the southern peninsula for centuries prior to the Islamic invasions. \nIndian history tends to focus on Northern India\, but Coromandel will journey south\, exploring the less well-known\, often neglected and very different history and identity of the oldest India in the pre-Aryan Dravidian south. Highly acclaimed historian Charles Allen explores the astonishing Buddhist and Jain civilisations that flourished all along India’s eastern seaboard before Hinduism became the established religion. \nIn Coromandel\, Allen continues his investigation into early Indian history\, begun in Ashoka. At each point in his journey through the Indian south he meets local historians\, gurus\, politicians and other colourful personalities\, and with their help uncovers some extraordinary stories about the past. This is a traveller’s tale\, and as Allen moves through contemporary India\, he discovers as much about the present as he does about the past. \n\nBiographical Notes \nCharles Allen is the author of a number of bestselling books about India and the colonial experience elsewhere. He is a traveller\, historian and master storyteller. \n2nd November Charles Allen

SUMMARY:Book Launch Bruno de Nicola Women in Mongol Iran
DESCRIPTION:Bruno De Nicola investigates the development of women’s status in the Mongol Empire from its original homeland in Mongolia up to the end of the Ilkhanate of Iran in 1335. Taking a thematic approach\, the chapters show a coherent progression of this development and contextualise the evolution of the role of women in medieval Mongol society. The arrangement serves as a starting point from where to draw comparison with the status of Mongol women in the later period. Exploring patterns of continuity and transformation in the status of these women in different periods of the Mongol Empire as it expanded westwards into the Islamic world\, the book offers a view on the transformation of a nomadic-shamanist society from its original homeland in Mongolia to its settlement in the mostly sedentary-Muslim Iran in the mid-13th century.

SUMMARY:Book Launch. Shadow States: India\, China and the Himalayas\, 1910–1962 (Bérénice Guyot-Réchard\, King's College London)
DESCRIPTION:Since the mid-twentieth century China and India have entertained a difficult relationship\, erupting into open war in 1962. Shadow States is the first book to unpack Sino-Indian tensions from the angle of competitive state-building – through a study of their simultaneous attempts to win the approval and support of the Himalayan people. When China and India tried to expand into the Himalayas in the twentieth century\, their lack of strong ties to the region and the absence of an easily enforceable border made their proximity threatening – observing China and India’s state-making efforts\, local inhabitants were in a position to compare and potentially choose between them. Using rich and original archival research\, Bérénice Guyot-Réchard shows how India and China became each other’s ‘shadow states’. Understanding these recent\, competing processes of state formation in the Himalayas is fundamental to understanding the roots of tensions in Sino-Indian relations.
