Nguyen Quoc Dzung .............................................. 255 Foreword Ambassador (Dr.) Mohan Kumar Chairman, RIS ASEAN-India relations are firmly embedded in culture, commerce and connectivity (3Cs). Shared historical ties, culture and knowledge have continued to underpin India’s sustained interactions with Southeast Asia. Culture is the key to the India-ASEAN partnership. ASEAN-India relation is one of the cornerstones of India’s foreign policy and the Act East policy (AEP). Starting as a sectoral partner of ASEAN in 1992, India became a dialogue partner of ASEAN in 1996, a summit-level partner in 2002 and strategic partner in 2012. On January 25, 2018, India and ASEAN celebrated 25 years of its partnership, at a Commemorative Summit in New Delhi, with the participation of Heads of State/Government from all the ten countries of ASEAN and India. For the first time, all the ten ASEAN leaders also attended India’s Republic Day Celebrations on January 26, 2018, in New Delhi, as Guests of Honour. At the ASEAN-India Commemorative Summit, held on 25 January 2018, our leaders have outlined their vision on the future of ASEAN-India Strategic Partnership, where they have identified cultural relations as one of the key areas of ASEAN-India partnership. The ASEAN-India Centre (AIC) at Research and Information System for Developing Countries (RIS) in collaboration with the Indian Mission to ASEAN in Jakarta, Indonesian Foreign Affairs Ministry, and ASEAN Secretariat organized the 2nd International Conference on “ASEAN-India Cultural Links: Historical and Contemporary Dimensions”, held at Jakarta on 19 January 2017. Several scholars and experts from India and ASEAN presented their research papers at this Conference. This publication Act East: ASEAN – India Shared Cultural Heritage is an outcome of this Conference. This book presents essays on India’s cultural links with Southeast Asia, with particular reference to cultural heritage. viii Act East: ASEAN-India Shared Cultural Heritage I would like to record my appreciation of the efforts that have been put by my colleague, Dr. Prabir De and his team, in putting together this volume. I wish to thank Prof. Sachin Chaturvedi, Director General, RIS for his support and cooperation. I am certain that this publication will be a valuable reference for policymakers, academics and practitioners. Mohan Kumar Preface Prof. Sachin Chaturvedi Director General, RIS India attaches the highest importance to its historical relations with South East Asia, with ASEAN being at the centre. This is emphatically reflected in India’s “Act East” policy, which in fact is culmination of its earlier, “Look East” policy. While the economic dimensions of ASEAN- India partnership are the key to deepening the relationship, the historical linkages is the corner stone of this strong edifice. This relationship also draws sustenance from promoting people-to-people contacts at different levels in the backdrop of rich history of civilizational links, and in this context added emphasis is given to three dimensions of ASEAN-India relations: culture, commerce and connectivity. RIS since early nineties has been engaged in providing policy research inputs for strengthening ASEAN-India cooperation, when India became a Sectoral Dialogue Partner of ASEAN. Among other initiatives, the India-ASEAN Eminent Persons’ Lecture Series was also launched in December 1996 to facilitate people-to-people interactions. Later, the ASEAN-India Centre (AIC) was set up at the RIS. In order to discuss the special significance of cultural issues in the ASEAN-India Strategic Partnership, the AIC at RIS, in collaboration with the Indian Embassy to ASEAN in Jakarta; Indonesian Foreign Affairs Ministry; and ASEAN Secretariat organized the 2nd International Conference

Adapun cita-cita menulis buku ini, telah lama kami canangkan, sekitar tahun 2005 yang lalu. Namun karena sulitnya mengumpulkan materi-materi yang akan diajangkau, yakni begitu ekstensif dan luasnya bahan yang mesti dicapai, juga materi yang dikaji di bidang kesenian meliputi seni-seni: musik, tari, teater baik yang tradisional. Sementara latar belakang keilmuan kami pun, baik di strata satu dan dua, umumnya adalah terkonsentasi di bidang etnomusikologi dan kajian seni pertunjukan yang juga dengan minat utama musik etnik. Hanya seorang saja yang berlatar belakang akademik antropologi tari. Selain itu, tim kami ini ada dua orang yang berlatar belakang pendidikan strata dua antropologi dan sosiologi. Oleh karenanya latar belakang keilmuan ini, sangat mewarnai apa yang kami tulis dalam buku ini. Adapun materi dalam buku ini memuat tentang konsep apa itu masyarakat, kesenian, dan Indonesia—serta terminologi-terminologi yang berkaitan dengannya seperti: kebudayaan, pranata sosial, dan kelompok sosial.

  • Gandhi's View on Judaism and Zionism in Light of an Interreligious
    religions Article Gandhi’s View on Judaism and Zionism in Light of an Interreligious Theology Ephraim Meir 1,2 1 Department of Jewish Philosophy, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan 5290002, Israel; [email protected] 2 Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study (STIAS), Wallenberg Research Centre at Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch 7600, South Africa Abstract: This article describes Gandhi’s view on Judaism and Zionism and places it in the framework of an interreligious theology. In such a theology, the notion of “trans-difference” appreciates the differences between cultures and religions with the aim of building bridges between them. It is argued that Gandhi’s understanding of Judaism was limited, mainly because he looked at Judaism through Christian lenses. He reduced Judaism to a religion without considering its peoplehood dimension. This reduction, together with his political endeavors in favor of the Hindu–Muslim unity and with his advice of satyagraha to the Jews in the 1930s determined his view on Zionism. Notwithstanding Gandhi’s problematic views on Judaism and Zionism, his satyagraha opens a wide-open window to possibilities and challenges in the Near East. In the spirit of an interreligious theology, bridges are built between Gandhi’s satyagraha and Jewish transformational dialogical thinking. Keywords: Gandhi; interreligious theology; Judaism; Zionism; satyagraha satyagraha This article situates Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s in the perspective of a Jewish dialogical philosophy and theology. I focus upon the question to what extent Citation: Meir, Ephraim. 2021. Gandhi’s religious outlook and satyagraha, initiated during his period in South Africa, con- Gandhi’s View on Judaism and tribute to intercultural and interreligious understanding and communication.
