SUMMARY:Guest Talk: 'Afghanistan in the Age of Empires: Farrukh Husain in conversation with Victoria Schofield.'
DESCRIPTION:Farrukh Husain will be in conversation with Victoria Schofield discussing his acclaimed account of the first Afghan war entitled ‘Afghanistan in the Age of Empires’ detailing the role of Afghan women in combat\, the respective merits of Afghan and British weaponry and how and why the Kabul uprising occurred on the anniversary of the battle of Badr in 1841/17 Ramadan 1257 AH. Today an internet search of the words “Kabul massacre” details the destruction of General Elphinstone’s army yet the many massacres perpetrated in Kabul\, Ghazni and other parts of Afghanistan are hidden by history.

SUMMARY:Guest Lecture: Emilie Wellfelt\, 'Following the Feathers: Global History Along the Trails of the Bird of Paradise'
DESCRIPTION:‘Following the Feathers’ is an investigation of global history and human-animal relations using a spectacular bird species as its focal point. It asks how the bird of paradise affects humans who encounter them\, either in living form or as a prepared specimen. The specimen\, often without wings\, legs and scull bone\, is the main form in which bird of paradise have been traded and used by humans.   \n   Historically the bird of paradise was a luxury commodity\, traded along the same routes as spice from Maluku. As the birds were received in different ‘worlds’ they were used and interpreted in ways that reveal insights about religion\, paradise and power. \n   The study examines two time periods: c. 1512-1610 and the present. The first bird of paradise specimens reached Europe in 1522 in the cargo of the world’s first circumnavigators\, the Magellan expedition. In the early modern period\, world views shifted and Muslims and Christians competed for global dominion. ‘Following the feathers’ takes us to crucial moments in history\, to kings and sultans\, and to the foremost artists and scientists of the time.  \n   In the present study\, human-animal relations in the Aru Islands will be investigated. In the islands the Dobel-speaking population are divided in two moieties\, the inland fanan\, literary ‘bird of paradise’\, have a semi-totemic relation to the species.  \nThe researcher has extensive historical and anthropological fieldwork experience from Indonesia. \n  \n  \n‘Shahjahan and Prince Dara-Shikoh Toy with Jewels\, ca. 1620’

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:Professor Francis Robinson (Royal Holloway)\, Marion Molteno and Dr. Rakhshanda Jalil: Introducing the New Edition of Ralph Russell's Anthology of Urdu Literature A Thousand Yearnings
DESCRIPTION:For many people\, Urdu is indelibly associated with a bygone era: the cultural renaissance of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the face of colonial oppression\, heady mushairas and romantic poetry. For others\, it brings to mind the gritty prose of the Progressive Writers portraying the grim social realities of the mid-twentieth century. \nIn this luminous collection of Urdu poetry and prose\, Ralph Russell expands our world of Urdu letters to include folk and oral narratives\, besides prose and poetry. By situating each form historically\, he gives us a refreshing perspective on the diverse literary cultures and histories of India. \nBesides canonical short stories by the likes of Manto and Premchand\, there is Ismat Chughtai’s little-known autobiographical essay about her relationship with her brother\, the writer Azim Beg Chughtai. There are creation tales from the Quran\, popular stories of Akbar and Birbal\, along with the legendary exploits of Sikandar (Alexander the Great). Selections from the sublime poetry of Mir\, Ghalib and others are supplemented by astute commentary and roman transcriptions of the original Urdu. Farhatullah Beg’s brilliantly imagined account of the ‘last Delhi mushaira’ captures a moment in time never seen again\, with the horrors of 1857 just around the corner. \nAn accessible introduction for unfamiliar readers\, and a pleasurable companion for those familiar with Urdu literature\, this volume is a treasure trove of stories\, poetry and history. Originally published as Hidden in the Lute (1995)\, this revised edition has been edited by Russell’s student and friend for several years\, the novelist Marion Molteno.
