Sir Gerard Clauson and His Skeleton Tangut Dictionary Imre Galambos
Sir Gerard Clauson and his Skeleton Tangut Dictionary Imre Galambos Sir Gerard Leslie Makins Clauson (1891–1974) worked most of his life as a civil servant and conducted academic research in his spare time.1 Only after retiring in 1951 at the age of 60 was he able to devote his full attention to scholarly endeavours, which were primarily focussed on Turkish languages. Thus as a scholar, today he is primarily remembered for his contribution to Turkish studies, and his Etymological Dictionary of Pre-Thirteenth-Century Turkish is still an essential reference tool in the field.2 Yet in addition to his study of Turkish and Mongolian linguistics, he also worked on a number of other Asian languages, including Tangut. Even though his extensive list of publications includes a small number of items related to Tangut studies,3 he devoted an incredible amount of time and effort to studying the language and to compiling a dictionary. He never finished the dictionary but deposited a draft version along with his notes in seven large volumes at the Library of the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), so that they would be available to anyone who wished to study Tangut and perhaps continue his research. Eric Grinstead, who used the dictionary when working on the Tangut manuscripts at the British Museum, called it “a paragon of excellence” in comparison with high level of errors in dictionaries available at the time.4 Indeed, the erudition of Clauson’s dictionary is obvious even upon a cursory look at the manuscript version and had it ever been published, it would have undoubtedly made a major impact on scholarship. -
An English Boy in Chinese Turkestan: the Story of Orlando Hobbs
An English Boy in Chinese Turkestan: The Story of Orlando Hobbs Imre Galambos During the first decades of the 20th century, Chinese Central Asia became the scene for archaeological enterprises led by foreign explorers and scholars. Besides exploration carried out by leading European powers, the Japanese also joined the race for antiquities with a series of ambitious expeditions organized by Count Ōtani Kōzui 大谷光瑞 (1876–1948), the head of one of Japan’s largest Buddhist organizations. The last of these expeditions was lead by a young monk called Tachibana Zuichō 橘瑞超 (1890–1968), coming to Central Asia from London with a 16-year old English assistant, Orlando Hobbs (1894–1911). Within a few months of their arrival, however, Hobbs contracted smallpox and died. Although practically nothing was known about who this teenage boy was and where he came from, the accidental discovery of his alma mater in the town of Swindon (Wiltshire) made it possible to locate some unknown material related to the expedition. This paper presents this material and points out its significance for the study of the history of Japanese exploration of Central Asia. In addition, Hobbs’ background provides a glimpse of the human side of these events. 1 Tachibana and the Ōtani Expeditions The ‘Great Game’ played between Britain and Russia for dominance over Central Asia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries is a fascinating episode in modern history. One of the last regions where British and Russian interests 82 SOS 10 · 1 (2011) clashed was China’s westernmost province of Xinjiang 新疆 (‘New Dominion’),1 at the time commonly known in Western literature as Chinese Turkestan. -

Century Old Jain Demand for Minority Status in India
CENTURY OLD JAIN DEMAND FOR MINORITY STATUS IN INDIA by BAL PATIL* The Jain demand for minority status is now a century old. When in British India the Viceroy took a decision in principle that the Government would give representation to "Important Minorities" in the Legislative Council, (Petition dt.2nd September,1909,)1 Seth Manekchand Hirachand, acting President of Bharatvarshiya Digambar Jain Mahasabha, thus appealed to the Viceroy and Governor-General of India, Lord Minto, for the inclusion of the Jain community as an Important Minority. The Viceroy responded positively to this petition informing that in giving representation to minorities by nomination the claim of the important Jain community will receive full consideration’. Seth Maneckchand’s Petition was transferred to the Government of Bombay and the Secretary to the Govt. Of Bombay stated in his reply dt.15th October,1909.2 “I am directed to inform you that a number of seats have been reserved for the representation of minorities by nominated and that in allotting them the claim of the important Jain Community will receive full consideration.” Presenting the Draft Constitution to the Assembly, Dr.Ambedkar warned against “fanaticism against minorities”.. (CAD p.766 ) We may hearken back to the crucial importance given to Minority safeguards in the Constituent Assembly Debates. The Resolution for the setting up of an Advisory Committee on Fundamental Rights, Minorities and Tribal and Excluded and Partically Excluded Areas clearly acknowledged that: “The question of minorities everywhere looms large in constitutional discussions. Many a constitution has foundered on this rock.. Unless the minorities are fully satisfied, we cannot make any progress: we cannot even maintain peace in an undisturbed manner.” And presenting the Draft Constitution to the Assembly Dr. -
