Born in 1801, Hodgson joined the Bengal Civil Service as a privileged but sickly young man. Posted to Kathmandu as a junior political officer, he found himself isolated and trapped in a fiercely xenophobic mountain kingdom that seemed bent on making war on the increasingly powerful British East India Company. For twenty-three years Hodgson struggled to keep the two sides apart, only to be sacked for what was deemed to be political interference. Part of his legacy is the lasting peace and friendship between Britain and Nepal. However, this is much more than a study of Hodgson’s role in the political relations between two countries. At its heart is the Orientalist movement driven by the European Enlightenment, which inspired young Britons like Hodgson to devote their free time to the study of various aspects of Asian culture. It led Brian Hodgson to undertake a pioneering study of Tibetan and Nepalese Buddhism, and to collect Buddhist manuscripts. His enquiries then widened to include the study of Nepal’s birds and mammals and, finally, the peoples of the Himalayas and Himalayan geography. But Hodgson was also a key player in the great ideological struggle fought out in Calcutta in the 1830s between the Evangelicals and the Anglicists in alliance, bent on reshaping India along British lines, and the Orientalists and the Vernacularists, who joined forces with Bengali intellectuals to preserve the local culture. Hodgson became a forgotten man in his own lifetime, his achievements overlooked by those who followed his trail. This book sets the record straight, revealing in the process a vulnerable individual who turned adversity to his advantage as the prisoner who learned to love his jail.

  • Scientific Visual Culture and the Origins of Modern British Zoology, 1815
    The Reverent Eye: Scientific Visual Culture and The Origins of Modern British Zoology, 1815-1840 David Lowther 085282098 Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics, and Archaeology Newcastle University November 2016 Abstract The Reverent Eye: Scientific Visual Culture and the Origins of Modern British Zoology, 1815- 1840 Between 1815 and 1840, decades of unprecedented social and political upheaval, the life sciences in Britain were transformed. What for centuries had been a single subject, natural history, fragmented into a set of related but distinct scientific disciplines, defined by their objects of investigation. This study focuses on one of them, zoology, and the ways in which its emerging, transitional practices and methodologies, prompted by the vast increase in empirical information, the emergence of new institutions, development of new audiences, and increasing colonial expansion, were codified and disseminated in some of the most stunning images ever created of life on earth. At the heart of this process was quinarianism, a now almost forgotten system of ordering the natural world which originated in the long-running and acrimonious ‘Species Debate’, the single most important issue in early-nineteenth century biology. Far from being a historical and scientific irrelevance, quinarianism was crucial to the institutional and methodological development of zoology in Britain. As developed by a small, politically-diverse group of zoologists centred upon the Linnean and Zoological Societies of London, it fused natural theology and continental Idealism in a powerful synthesis which, for twenty years, defined zoology as a British, imperial science, providing the institutional framework which made possible the great advances of the 1860s and 1870s.

  • Allen, Charles. 2015. the Prisoner of Kathmandu: Brian Hodgson in Nepal, 1820–43
    BOOK REVIEWS | 191 activists consider Girish’s autobiographical treatment of his home-town narcissistic at best and status-quoist at worst. It has been said that the book, written so soon after the Madhesh movement waned away, can only offer an apologetic account of the movement. Yet at another level, as analyst CK Lal pointed out at a discussion on the book held at Martin Chautari in April 2016, the author is caught in a quintessential paradox of being: As a Pahadi man from a family associated with mainstream hill politics, the author is set to be damned by both sides of the divide regardless of whether he fully endorses the Madhesh movement or stubbornly dismisses it. Can an ethnic/regional outsider “do justice” to the voice of the oppressed indigenous population – is a question that needs to be considered ontologically. Leaving that aside for now, it would be fair to say that this book is a significant inquiry into the rise and demise of an important episode within the identity movement in Nepal. Mallika Shakya South Asian University Charles Allen. 2015. The Prisoner of Kathmandu: Brian Hodgson in Nepal, 1820–43. London: Haus Publishing Ltd. Given that it is the first biography of Brian H. Hodgson (1801–1894) in over a century, Charles Allen’s The Prisoner of Kathmandu is a welcome addition to the historiography of Himalayan Studies and Nepal’s relations with colonial India. But for students of Nepali history (and other likely readers of this journal) the book is somewhat frustrating. More than a study of Hodgson’s work as Resident in Kathmandu in the decades before the Rana era, this book reads like another installment in the now substantial series of books by Charles Allen documenting his fascination with (and romanticization of) British colonial gentleman-scholars, or Orientalists.

  • Mobile Subjects, Markets, and Sovereignty in the India-Nepal Borderland, 1780-1930
    Shifting States: Mobile Subjects, Markets, and Sovereignty in the India-Nepal Borderland, 1780-1930 Catherine Warner A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Committee: Anand Yang, Chair Purnima Dhavan Priti Ramamurthy Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History © Copyright 2014 Catherine Warner University of Washington Abstract Shifting States: Mobile Subjects, Markets, and Sovereignty in the India-Nepal Borderland, 1780-1930 Catherine Warner Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Anand Yang International Studies and History This dissertation analyzes the creation of the India-Nepal borderland and changing terms of sovereignty, subjectivity and political belonging from the margins of empire in South Asia from 1780 to 1930. I focus on particular instances of border crossing in each chapter, beginning with the exile of deposed sovereigns of small states that spanned the interface of the lower Himalayan foothills and Gangetic plains in the late eighteenth century. The flight of exiled sovereigns and the varied terms of their resettlement around the border region—a process spread over several decades—proved as significant in defining the new borderland between the East India Company and Nepal as the treaty penned after the Anglo-Nepal War of 1814 to 1816. Subsequent chapters consider cross-border movements of bandits, shifting cultivators, soldiers, gendered subjects, laborers, and, later, a developing professional class who became early Nepali nationalist spokesmen. Given that the India-Nepal border remained open without a significant military presence throughout the colonial and even into the contemporary period, I argue that ordinary people engaged with and shaped forms of political belonging and subject status through the always present option of mobility.

Ray: Misty Mediations: Spectral Imaginings and the Himalayan Picturesque Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 11, no. 3 (Autumn 2012) Misty Mediations: Spectral Imaginings and the Himalayan Picturesque by Romita Ray ”In the valley lay a white lake of transparent mist, and rising out of it, the snows, shrouded in unearthly vapour, looked mysterious and ghost-like.“[1] Traveling near the Singalila mountain range in the Darjeeling area in the early 1870s, the explorer, writer, and part-time Darjeeling resident Elizabeth Mazuchelli (1832–1914) encountered a quintessential Himalayan phenomenon that never failed to fascinate European residents and travelers: a thick veil of mist whose myriad formations and densities created unique visual and tactile experiences as it swirled across mountain slopes and valleys. Notoriously unpredictable, this vaporous cover could thicken, obliterate, and melt away without any forewarning. It could also generate, as Mazuchelli swiftly discovered, ”a spectral and unearthly scene,“ destabilizing the boundaries between fantasy and material realities, and between intuitive and empirical knowledge.[2] In this article, I look at how artists, writers, and botanists visiting Darjeeling and its surroundings since the 1840s coped with the insubstantiality of mountain mist.

The basic objective is to bring all such scattered data and information at a single place to facilitate downstream research on the seismotectonics and seismic hazard assessment of this part of the Himalaya. Attempt has been made to analyze data extracted from Journal of Asiatic Society of Bengal, Calcutta Christian Observer, Asiatic Journal and Monthly Register, Baptist Magazine among others published during 1833-1835. Subsequent publications on this earthquake which was printed in 1843, 1850 and 1883 have also been reproduced. Extracts from a few contemporary research published during the last twenty years are mentioned to highlight current status of knowledge on this earthquake in comparison to the mega earthquake of 1934 that affected the same geographical region.
