SUMMARY:Edward Weech Lecture: Systems of Religion and Morality in the Collections of the Royal Asiatic Society
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Royal Asiatic Society was founded in 1823\, inspired by the model of Sir William Jones’s Asiatic Society of Bengal.  From its earliest days\, one of the chief ways the Society sought to promote research and interest into the histories and cultures of Asia was by establishing and making available its historic collection of rare books\, manuscripts\, and artworks. \nThe lecture will examine selected treasures from the Society’s collections to make some suggestions about the approach of British Orientalists to the study of religion; how this related to eighteenth-century Enlightenment historiography and philosophy; and how this approach may have developed over the course of the nineteenth century. Finally\, it will consider the Society’s collections in the wider context of British interest in foreign cultures and traditions\, and ideas about public morality and religious pluralism. \n\nAll welcome\, but registration is advised. Please submit the form at the following page: www.oxcis.ac.uk/events/systems-of-religion-and-morality-the-collections-of-the-royal-asiatic-society

SUMMARY:Dr. Mehreen Chida-Razvi (SOAS) - The Mughal Madonna: Representations of the Virgin in Jahangiri-era Architecture
DESCRIPTION:The Mughal Madonna: Representations of the Virgin in Jahangiri-era Architecture \nDr Mehreen Chida-Razvi (Research Associate\, Department of History of Art & Archaeology\, SOAS) \n \nFrom the arrival of Jesuit missionaries to the court of the Mughal emperor\, Akbar (r.1556-1605)\, Christian imagery was depicted by Mughal artists in works on paper. Both Akbar and his son\, Prince Salim\, the future emperor Jahangir (r.1605-27)\, were fascinated by such depictions and scenes from the life of Christ\, portraits of Christ and the Virgin Mary\, and other scenes based on imagery from religious texts were frequently created by their artists. \nPeculiar to Jahangir’s reign\, however\, are representations of Christian figures as architectural decoration in the form of wall paintings. One of the most frequently depicted of these figures appears to have been the Virgin Mary; she appears as decoration within Jahangir’s royal audience halls\, in a pavilion at the Lahore Shahi Qila\, was depicted within the gateway to the tomb complex of I‘timad-ud-Daula\, Jahangir’s father-in-law\, and is supposed to have been represented within the burial chamber of Akbar’s tomb in Sikandra. \nIn addition to the surviving evidence of such imagery within architecture\, textual descriptions and paintings confirm the appearance of the Virgin Mary within Mughal architectural spaces.  Her placement is continuously within palatial or funerary architecture during the period under examination; she does not appear in other structural spaces. \nThis paper will query the reasons for these depictions of the Virgin\, examining the cultural context of Jahangir’s court that led to such religious representations as architectural decoration occurring only during his reign. The political implications of such imagery will also be discussed\, tying their creation to not only Jahangir’s patronage but to that of his powerful queen\, Nur Jahan. Furthermore\, the idea of the Mughal’s symbolically claiming the Virgin via such architectural decoration will be put forth.

SUMMARY:Dr. Rosie Llewellyn-Jones MBE (Independent Scholar) - 'My Dear Schomberg': Letters from Sir Aurel Stein
DESCRIPTION:Sir Aurel Stein’s life and work has been extensively examined in books and biographies.  He was a prolific letter writer but surprisingly none of his biographers have commented on the correspondence with Colonel Reginald Schomberg during the last decade of his life.  The two men met each other in Oxford and later at the British Consul-General’s house at Kashgar. \nUnwittingly\, Stein was caught up in the fierce struggle for leadership in Chinese Turkestan in the early 1930s.  His friend Schomberg was gun-running British arms and ammunition into Turkestan for the Chinese authorities and this was used as a lever for Stein’s fourth and final expedition that was to end in failure. This lecture considers Stein’s hitherto unknown letters to Schomberg and the relationship between the two men\, both of Jewish heritage and firmly embedded in Britain as the last act of the Great Game was played out. \n \nSir Aurel Stein in later life with his dog Dash V (Dash the 5th).

SUMMARY:(Related Organisation's Event) FRASHKB Lecture and Lunch\, Major Brian Finch: A Faithful Record of the Lisbon Maru Incident
DESCRIPTION:FRIENDS OF THE ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY\, HONG KONG BRANCH  \nLecture and lunch                                                                                      \nSaturday\, 22nd September  \nA Faithful Record of the Lisbon Maru Incident \n  \nSpeaker:                     Major (Ret’d) Brian Finch  \nTime:                          2:30 p.m. \nVenue:                        Royal Asiatic Society\, 14 Stephenson Way\, London NW1 2HD \nCost:                           £8 per member or guest\, to include refreshments \nLunch:                        An optional self-paying lunch will be arranged at 12:30 p.m. at ‘Red and Hot’\, 37 Chalton Street\, NW1 1JD. \nBooking:                     Please email Paul Bolding at paul@paulbolding.org.uk or tel: 020 7684 5811. \n  \nThe 75th Anniversary of the sinking of the Lisbon Maru fell on 2 October last year.  Ceremonies were held both in Zhoushan\, China\, where the Incident took place\, and in London at the FEPOW Memorial in Camden.  There was a television link between the two events. \n  \nOur speaker Brian Finch also published in 2017 a translation of a Chinese book giving an account of the Incident seen through the eyes of the courageous Chinese fishermen who rescued hundreds of prisoners of war under fire from Japanese soldiers.  It was published in Hong Kong on 16 November by Proverse Hong Kong in the Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong Studies series.  For those not familiar with the Lisbon Maru Incident\, the book is said to be one of the finest examples of Chinese-British people-to-people cooperation in wartime – to the extent that Chinese President Xi Jinping referred to it during his speech at the State Banquet in Buckingham Palace during his State visit in 2015.  Here is a brief summary: \n  \nIn 1942 the Japanese shipped 1\,834 prisoners of war from Hong Kong to Japan to become slave labour.  The ship was not marked in any way to show it was carrying prisoners of war and was torpedoed by a US submarine off the coast of China near Zhoushan.  It took 24 hours for the ship to sink.  During that time the prisoners were confined to the holds\, the hatches were battened down and it was the apparent intention of the Japanese that they should all drown when the ship finally sank.  Conditions were atrocious\, quite apart from the obvious feelings of terror and impending doom.  Many were suffering from dysentery and other diseases\, there was no water or food\, no light\, no fresh air\, and of course there were no toilet facilities.  At the 11th hour\, shortly before the ship went down\, some prisoners managed a break-out.  As they came out of the holds and jumped into the sea to save their lives\, Japanese soldiers fired at them with rifles and machine-guns.  Local Chinese fishermen saw what was happening and at great personal risk rowed out to rescue hundreds of prisoners.  In so doing they also prevented further wholesale slaughter as the Japanese then realised there were witnesses\, stopped shooting and started picking up survivors.   \n  \nBrian has said: “I believe very strongly that the quite extraordinary courage shown by those Chinese fishermen should not be forgotten\, and that is one of the main reasons I took the trouble to translate into English the Chinese account of the rescue and the events that followed.  My interest also stems from having served in The Middlesex Regiment with one of the survivors of the sinking and having since met several other survivors.  I am keen to spread knowledge and understanding of this terrible incident and the outstanding actions of the Zhoushan fishermen as widely as possible and I work closely with the Lisbon Maru Association of Hong Kong to this end.”

SUMMARY:Dr Gulfishan Khan 'The Indo-Persian elite and the Formation of Orientalist Tradition'
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Indo-Persian educated became the pioneers of what is termed “Invisible Occidentalism”\, also called “Orientalism in reverse\,” as they explored vistas of knowledge concerning the West. The cultural interaction with the agents of the new regime fostered new modes of thought and reshaped the mental landscape and sensibilities of the traditional intelligentsia. Some of them had first-hand-experience of British culture. \nOne of the major commentators Shaikh Iʽtiṣām al-Dīn recorded his experiences in a travelogue-cum-memoir entitled Shigarf-nāma i-wilāyat\, (Wonders of England) which he completed in 1785.  Mirzā Abū Ṭālib ibn Muḥammad Iṣfahānī\, an intellectual\, poet\, literary critic and historian of British India\, author of the comprehensive travelogue Masir-i-talibi fi bilad-i-afranji\, “Travels of [Abu] Talib in the countries of Europe\,” provided the earliest critique of Sir William Jones’s early researches in Arabic and Persian studies. The critique and knowledge transmitted through the agency of educated Indians gradually became an ‘indistinguishable’ aspect of the newly emerging discipline of ‘Orientalism’. \nThis lecture will focus on the perception of the emerging orientalist tradition. Why did the dialogic interaction between the Indo-Persian elite and British culture not lead to the formation of modernity and self-refashioning. The various dynamics of the issue are analysed by investigating a complex interface between the Indo-Persian intelligentsia and two British scholar-administrators Sir William Jones (1746-1794)\, and Jonathan Scott (1754-1829).

SUMMARY:Dr. Ashmita Khasnabish Guest Lecture "Indian Imagination in a Postcolonial Context"
DESCRIPTION:The talk “Indian Imagination in a Postcolonial Context” is based on Dr. Ashmita Khasnabish’s recent monograph Negotiating Capability and Diaspora: a Philosophical Politics which analyses how Indian philosophical imagination could bring transcendence and immanence or pragmatism together. It starts with the Amartya Sen’s theory of “capability” which arose as a critique of the American philosopher John Rawls’s theory of Justice. Sen focuses on the notion of personal will- power which expresses the humanitarian aspect of his theory of capability. What is so fascinating about Sen’s theory of freedom? As a daughter of the East\, she admits that there is great potential in Sen’s theory of freedom because it is the freedom of the East that he advocates. She also examines Sri Aurobindo’s theory of the “religion of humanity\,” who fought against the British and was forced to leave India. Finally\, in the light of this philosophical background\, the talk addresses the Indian novelist Jhumpa Lahiri’s novel the Namesake as a product of Indian postcolonial imagination.

SUMMARY:Dr. Indira Viswanathan Peterson Guest Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Colonial Networks\, Indian Elites\, and the New Orientalism of the Royal Asiatic Society (1823-1840) \nIndira Viswanathan Peterson \nProfessor of Asian Studies Emerita\, Mount Holyoke College\, USA \n  \nThe establishment of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland in London in 1823 not only transferred the institutional center of British orientalism to the metropole but also indexed a reconceptualization of British antiquarian practices and goals vis à vis the colonies. A marker of this shift was the active recruitment of Asians\, especially princes and other elites\, in the Society’s membership and activities. The election of Raja Serfoji of Tanjore\, an enthusiastic orientalist as well as pioneering modernizer\, as one of four honorary members in 1823 is a case in point. Tracing Serfoji’s initiatives and his interactions with Sir Alexander Johnston and other British administrator-orientalists in Madras and south India\, and the Raja’s subsequent participation in the RAS’s activities\, this talk demonstrates that a south Indian orientalist network– the “Madras School” –played a significant role in shaping the agendas of the newly-founded Society. Further\, examining widely-publicised statements made by Sir Johnston during his long administrative career at the RAS\, it is argued that the Society’s projects involving its Asian members signaled a turn in British orientalism\, toward the promotion of a new mix of antiquarianism and the ideology of improving the colonies through useful knowledge. \nDr. Peterson held the David B. Truman Professorship at Mount Holyoke and has been Professor of Sanskrit at Columbia University. She specializes in Indian literature in Sanskrit\, Tamil and Marathi\, Hinduism\, South Indian culture\, history and religion\, classical dance and Karnatak music\, translation\, and European-Asian culture contact. She has published widely on all of these subjects.  She has held a number of research fellowships\, including fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, The American Institute for Indian Studies and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Major publications include: Poems to Shiva: The Hymns of the Tamil Saints (1989); Design and Rhetoric in a Sanskrit Court Epic: The Kiratarjuniya of Bharavi (2003); Arjuna and the Hunter (2016); and\, with George Michell\, The Great Temple at Thanjavur: A Thousand Years. 1010 – 2010 (2010). Two co-edited books are: with Martha A. Selby\, Tamil Geographies: Cultural Constructions of space and place in South India (2007); and with Davesh Soneji\, Performing Pasts: Reinventing the Arts in modern South India (2008). \nIndira Peterson has recently completed Serfoji of Tanjore: Enlightenment and Princely Modernity in Colonial India\, a biography of the royal polymath and innovator Serfoji II. In progress are Drama\, the Court\, and the Public in Early Modern India\, a monograph on the multilingual dance dramas of the Thanjavur Maratha court\, and An Enlightenment Library in Early Nineteenth-century India: The Personal Collection of King Serfoji II of Tanjore (1798-1832). \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Festschrift for Professor Peter Robb (SOAS)

The papers in the volume are written by both senior and early career scholars in the field\, and many of these were presented at the SOAS history conference ‘Ideologies and Institutions: a conference to celebrate the career and works of Peter Robb’\, in September 2013. Drawing broadly from Robb’s lecture transcript on memorials included in the book\, the volume also engages with some of his other works. \n  \nThe publication of this collection of essays in the year of the SOAS centenary\, in late 2017\, coincided with the 70th year of India and Pakistan’s commemoration of independence and the Partition of 1947\, prompting a renewed interest in examining the legacy of the British Raj. Memory studies have proliferated in recent years based on an emotional understanding of the past\, but with a few exceptions\, they have predominantly focused on Partition and its aftermath in South Asia. The editors deviate from this frame to explore the memory of colonialism and imperialism by critically engaging with the ideas of encounters and emerging identities. \n  \nBy focusing on interactions\, relations and underlying meanings of the colonial experience\, the volume re-evaluates central\, long-standing debates about the historical impact of the Raj. The issues of memory\, identity and the legacy of the colonial encounter are woven together in a diverse range of essays on subjects such as colonial and nationalist memorials; British\, Eurasian\, Dalit and Adivasi identities; regional political configurations; and state initiatives and patterns of control. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/book-launch-and-discussion-memory-identity-and-the-colonial-encounter-in-india-essays-in-honour-of-tickets-43970130845 \nPublisher: Routledge   \nhttps://www.routledge.com/Memory-Identity-and-the-Colonial-Encounter-in-India-Essays-in-Honour/Rashkow-Ghosh-Chakrabarti/p/book/9781138237056 \nISBN:  9781138237056\nNumber of pages: 338 \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.
