  • Parsi Trusts from ‘The Womb to the Tomb’
    Modern Asian Studies 52, 1 (2018) pp. 238–265. C Cambridge University Press 2018 doi:10.1017/S0026749X17000336 Good Deeds: Parsi trusts from ‘the womb to the tomb’ LEILAH VEVAINA Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Munich, Germany Email: [email protected] Abstract Parsis (Indian Zoroastrians), a small traditionally endogamous group, are well known in India for their philanthropic giving. The Parsis of Mumbai are beneficiaries of hundreds of Parsi public charitable trusts today, and this article will show how trusts, as particular forms of giving, establish perpetual communal obligation connecting the past and present. It will show how the circulation of personal assets through customary inheritance within a family is replaced by the trust with the circulation of communal obligations in perpetuity. While this mechanism of giving has a marked endurance, what has changed is what constitutes ‘the good’ within these deeds. Moving away from traditional philanthropic practices of subsidizing education, medical care, and welfare to the poor, the focus of giving has shifted to the pursuit of communal reproduction, both biological and social. Introduction I met Tanaz∗1 at a dinner party of some common friends in Mumbai. She had heard that I was researching Parsis and trusts and wanted to learn more about my work. Sitting next to me on a sofa, she sat up to the edge of the seat and asked eagerly, ‘You work on trusts? My mother just established one!’ She explained that her mother was widowed quite young and remained very wealthy. Tanaz was an only child and, I would like to thank Sumathi Ramaswamy and Filippo Osella not only for considering my work for this special issue but also for their insightful critiques and suggestions.

  • Mumbai: the Domestic Airline Industry Is Emerging As a Lucrative Option for Foreign and Local Financial Investors
    Mumbai: The domestic airline industry is emerging as a lucrative option for foreign and local financial investors. On the inaugural day of the first-ever Investor Summit for India and Middle East organised by the Centre of Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) in Mumbai, this was the common sentiment that emerged from the conclave. Kapil Kaul, chief executive officer, Indian sub continent and Middle East, CAPA, said: “Two years ago, investors were not even considering looking at Indian aviation, in the last two years, not only Indian entrepreneurs have turned serious about aviation business, but investors are seriously exploring the market for right investments.” According to Kaul, in 25 years, almost $50billion worth of investments is expected in the Indian aviation industry. Till 2004, India had only 190 aircraft and now the number is expected to touch 450-500 by 2010, now it may be even more post the Indian bookings at the Paris Air show. Athar Shahab, director- business development, IDFC, said their company, which has been tracking the transportation sector in the country, was keenly watching the developments of the airline industry. Shahab pointed out airline companies should tap the local market for loans giving the rising rupee. India liberalizes aviation sector -PTI NEW DELHI: Opening of the skies to foreign and private domestic airlines and liberalization of the entire aviation sector in the country will mark the New Year, as the government worked through 2003 to unveil a revolutionary Civil Aviation Policy next month to enhance competition and make flying easier and cheaper. These major initiatives were watershed developments in India’s aviation history this year when the world celebrated the centenary of man taking to the sky.

    ONE SHIP, THOUSANDS OF LIVES: A TRANSNATIONAL HISTORY OF SHIPBUILDING, SHIPPING AND THE MARITIME WORLD AS SEEN THROUGH THE LIFE OF AN AVERAGE MERCHANT SAILING SHIP, 1886-1930 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HISTORY May 2018 By Brandon Thomas Lindsey Tachco Dissertation Committee: Fabio López Lázaro (Chairperson) Peter H. Hoffenberg Liam Kelley Kieko Matteson Jonathan Padwe 1 One Ship, Thousands of Lives Tachco Abstract Over many generations, numerous scholars have produced impressive and useful work covering the history of shipping in countless different ways, but most have been limited by nation-based scopes and framings. When viewing this global system from the perspectives of the individual ships and the individual people that were a part of it, it becomes clear that the reality was not so easily identified or defined. Whether made for war or trade, ships often survived through multiple owners, names, and purposes, and so represented the lives of many people from many different classes, races, nationalities, and creeds. This dissertation, therefore, views the history of shipping based on the birth and life of a single merchant ship from the late-nineteenth century: the square-rigged sailing ship Balclutha, which was built in Glasgow in 1886 and is now a museum ship in San Francisco. Rather than falling-back on more generalized nation-based definitions, this focused framing enables the study to be more precise and specific in its analyses of these historical subjects, which provides useful insight into the history of this global shipping system, and the history of the thousands of individuals whose lives were in some way connected to, and dependent on, nineteenth-century ships.
