  • Three Dreams Or Three Nations?
    The Newsletter | No.55 | Autumn/Winter 2010 10 The Study Three dreams or three nations? A recent exhibition1 on South Asian photography entitled ‘Where Three Dreams Cross: 150 Years of Photography in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh’ highlights indigenous or native photographers as a marker of what India was before the two partitions. This is to suggest that there is a history of image-making that stands outside the ambit of European practitioners. The exhibition featured over 400 photographs, a survey of images encompassing early trends and photographers from the 19th century, the social realism of the mid-20th century, the movements of photography from the studio to the streets and, eventually, the playful and dynamic recourse with image-making in the present.

  • Biodiversity for Every One's Life
    Biodiversity for Every One’s Life Jointly organized by Miranda House, University of Delhi and Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD), Manipur Date: 31August 2018 Time: 9.00 am to 06.00 pm Venue: Auditorium, Miranda House, University of Delhi Preamble This Conclave aims to explore Biodiversity from a multifaceted perspective, from scientific understanding to its conservation and expansion. It will pose two important questions: How do we make biodiversity an inseparable part of day-to-day life? How do we make biodiversity an integral part of every citizen’s conscious self? India is proud to have some of the major hotspots of biodiversity in the world, particularly the N- E states in India. Its health is important for sustainable development of the entire country. It also throws challenges as to how to keep the aspirations of the people of N-E fulfilled and at the same time, maintain and expand the biodiversity. Similar problems/issues affect other biodiversity hotspots in the country. With increased human migration, exchange of living and non-living commodities across the globe, introduction of invasive species, new epidemic outbreaks, and more importantly the local and the global impact of climate change, we need to re-examine the dynamics of Earth's ecosystem from a newer perspective. An understanding of the Earth’s ecosystems and measures to sustain the health of the Earth for the future requires multi-disciplinary approaches. With the help of tools of big data analysis, foundations of planetary science and ecology and evolution, we may start identifying key factors that affect biodiversity and, thereby, ecosystem function and services.

  • Geoff Dyer Now We Can
    Arriving at Indira Gandhi International Airport in 2006, I was confronted by an unusually impressive advertisement. It featured a big and grainy black-and-white photograph of the tabla player Zakir Hussain and his dad Ustad Alla Rakha in concert, some time in the mid 1980s, I guessed. Zakir’s dad is reaching over and patting his son’s head, ruffling his hair as if to congratulate the puppy on having barked with such enthusiastic promise. But, with this loving gesture, the pre-eminent tabla player of one generation – in the famous Concert for Bangladesh it’s the grinning Alla Rakha we see accompanying Ravi Shankar on sitar and Ali Akbar Khan on sarod – is also passing on the musical baton to the man Bill Laswell will later describe as ‘the greatest rhythm player that this planet has ever produced’.1 Quite a claim! NOW WE CAN SEE The picture turned out to be by Dayanita Singh, who, in one of the little GEOFF DYER home-made-looking photographic journals from the box set Sent a Letter (Steidl, 2008), has constructed a tribute to her mum: a passing back of something that was never quite a baton. The other six books in the set take their names from places in India – ‘Calcutta’, ‘Bombay’ and so on – whereas this one, with its slightly darker cover, is named after Dayanita’s mother, Nony Singh. It’s made up of either pictures Nony took or of ones she – Nony – found in her husband’s cupboard. There are quite a few pictures of a little girl with a determined little pout or frowning smile who is clearly Dayanita.
