  • Legitimacy’ the Views Expressed in This Publication Are Solely Those of the Author and Not of the India International Centre
    OCCASIONAL PUBLICATION 52 IIC Who Gets to Write History? The Question of ‘Legitimacy’ The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author and not of the India International Centre. The Occasional Publication series is published for the India International Centre by Cmde. (Retd.) R. Datta. Designed and produced by Image Print, Tel. : 91-11-41425321, 9810161228 Who Gets to Write History? The Question of ‘Legitimacy’* When I last spoke at the India International Centre, in 2007 after the publication of my biography of Gandhi, I was asked during the question period how anyone who was not a devotee of Gandhi could possibly understand him well enough to write a book about him. The chairman, Professor Madan, politely moved on to the next question before I had a chance to reply. But I wanted to reply and said to the questioner that Gandhi was an important historical figure as well as an object of devotion, and his life required the kind of scrutiny customarily given to such figures. I remember adding that though I had begun to think about the book while I was living in India, I had sometimes felt as I was writing it, after I had left India, that I was glad not to be experiencing the weight of Indian devotion to Gandhi as I wrote. That was the only occasion, to date, on which the legitimacy of my undertaking a piece of writing, my entitlement to do so, has been questioned to my face, though the poor sales and few reviews of the book suggest that some other people may have found the undertaking presumptuous.

  • Sung Poetry in the Oral Tradition of the Gulf Region and the Arabian Peninsula
    Oral Tradition, 4/1-2 (1989): 174-88 Sung Poetry in the Oral Tradition of the Gulf Region and the Arabian Peninsula Simon Jargy Historical Background As far back as we can go in the past history of the Arabs and Arabia, we fi nd poetry present as a huge memorial to their real and imaginary heroic exploits, as a witness to their way of life and feelings, and most of all as an expression of the deepest roots of their soul. Being essentially oral in its origins and developments, this poetry, with its rhythms, intonations, accents, and long or short syllables fi tted in quite naturally with music. In the old classical Arabic terminology, poetry (Shicr) identifi es with song (Nashīd): reciting it is synonymous with singing it (Anshada al-Shicr). This bond between Shicr (poetry) and Inshād (chant or recitative) still has the same meaning in the spoken Arabic of the Peninsula and the Gulf region where Nishīda (song) is synonymous with Giṣīda (poem). In pre-Islamic Arabia, Inshād likely had a dual function: religious and social. Both stem from the rhythmical syllables of the Arabic language (rhymed prose: Sajc, and metrical poetry: Shicr), as well as from rhythmical movements of camels. Coming from ancient times, this is the Ḥidā’ (literally “stimulating the camel’s step”) that the Bedouin sings following the steps of his camel and for his own entertainment. It has survived in the actual form we call “recitative” or “cantilena,” as the common Ḥadwā still designates, in the spoken Bedouin dialect of the Gulf, the folk songs of both the desert and the sea.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives.

English Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date 15 April 1985 )E-6 (3/81) ii ABSTRACT In spite of the enormous resurgence of critical interest in minor figures of the Victorian era over the last twenty years, almost no attention has been paid to Francis Turner Palgrave (1824-1897). In his own age, he was respected as a man of letters, educator, art critic, poet, friend of Alfred Tennyson, and editor of The Golden Treasury of the Best Songs and Lyrical Poems in the English Language, first published in 1861. This dissertation attempts to make good that neglect in two ways: firstly, through an analysis of his life and times, an assessment of his writings as an art and literary critic, an examination of his considerable corpus of original poetry, and the compilation of the first comprehensive bibliography of his own publications.

  • Ch-3 Sources
    Chapter 3 Sources and Methods 3.1. Introduction The objective of this study is, primarily, to use a novel technique for analysing historical information by utilizing geographical information system (GIS) technological tools. GIS facilitates collating information from disparate sources, bringing them to a common scale and performing analysis on conjoined datasets. Mostly the data pertinent to this study are historical records and maps, which are mainly in paper formats, GIS facilitates conversion into digital format. Secondly, it will integrate disparate data layers onto a common reference system for integrated analysis.. This chapter discusses the prerequisites of this study which would help in performing analysis and interpretation in subsequent chapters. These preliminary requirements are – (i) GIS tools used in this study to carry out aforementioned processes, (ii) Data used, and (iii) Methodology for pre-processing raw data in order to bring them to a common reference system for use in integrated analysis, mapping and interpretation. 3.2. Software In this study ESRI ArcView has been used for GIS data processing and mapping. GIS applications facilitate capturing data from paper maps, and other formats like CAD drawings, images and non-spatial tabular data, so they can be brought to a common spatial reference plane. In this study, the base map was recent topographic data 63 acquired from a governmental agency. Topographic data was created by using high precision ground survey information. This data comes in CAD format, which can be directly used in conjunction with other datasets. Once disparate datasets have been captured into the GIS system in digital format, the analytical tools could be utilized for statistical analyses and complex 3D surface analyses and visualizations.

Hopper, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo Available online at http://www.yale.edu/glc/indian‐ocean/hopper.pdf © Do not cite or circulate without the author’s permission At the turn of the twentieth century, a six‐year‐old boy named Ismail bin Mubarak was kidnapped from his hometown of Mkokotoni in Zanzibar by a slave dealer and taken away to Arabia in a Suri dhow. The slave broker took him to a spot on the Batinah coast of northern Oman near the Sawadi Islands where he sold him to man from Hamriya (a town not far from Dubai). Five years and two owners later, Ismail found himself the slave of Salim bin Sultan of Sharjah who sent him to the pearl banks to dive each season the for the next twenty years. In March 1931, after two decades of abuse and grueling work as a pearl diver, Ismail had had enough. He stole one of his master’s boats and fled with four other enslaved divers across the gulf to seek their freedom at the British naval depot at Bassidu on the northwestern tip of Qishm Island off the coast of Persia.1 1 Statement of Ismail bin Mubarak, Swahili, aged 40 years, recorded at the Political Agency, Bahrain (May 23, 1931).

Physician, administrator, naturalist, photographer. Kirk was born at Barry in Forfarshire in 1832. After qualifying as a doctor in 1854, he volunteered for medical service in the Crimea and subsequently became Dr. David Livingstone’s chief assistant on his second Zambesi Expedition, 1858-1863. In 1866 Kirk was appointed Medical Officer and Vice-Consul of Zanzibar. He became Assistant Political Agent in 1868, Consul-General in 1873, and Political Agent in 1880. He retired from the consular service in 1887. Kirk’s period in Zanzibar coincided with the dramatic decline of the slave trade in East Africa, in which he played a prominent role, and with the extension of European interests into the interior. Upon his retirement to Sevenoaks he continued an active involvement in East Africa for some years. He was British Plenipotentiary at the Brussels Conference on the African Slave Trade, 1889- 1890, a director of the Imperial British East Africa Company, and chairman of the government committee for the construction of the Uganda Railway. Moreover, he was frequently asked informally for advice on East African questions. He died in 1922. Helen Cooke went to Zanzibar to marry John Kirk in 1867, and remained there until her children’s education necessitated her to return to England in 1883.

Map of Arabia Illustrative of W.G. Palgrave's Journey in 1862-63. London: MacMillan & Co., 1865. Original outline colour. 375 x 485mm. £400 A map of Arabia from 'Narrative of a Year's Journey through Central and Eastern Arabia', the account of Palgrave's spying expedition through the peninsula. As well as showing the author's route it also delineates the political boundaries, using colour to mark the countries subject to the Ottoman Empire and the Sultans of Shomar, Wahhabi and Oman. William Gifford Palgrave (1826-1888) was the son of Francis Palgrave, founder of the Public Records Office. While serving in the Indian Army Palgrave converted to Catholicism and entered the Jesuit college, Madras, undertaking missionary work in southern India. In 1855 he travelled to Syria as a missionary, experiencing religious riots in Damascus, on which he wrote reports for the European powers. It was as an agent for Napoleon III that Palgrave went to Arabia.
