Reghupathy on behalf of Shri Shivraj V. Patil (Motion adopted and Bill Passed). MR. CHAIRMAN : Now, the House will take up Item No. 16 – Pondicherry (Alteration of Name) Bill, 2006. THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI S. REGUPATHY): Sir, I may be permitted to move that the Bill to alter the name of the Union Territory of Pondicherry, as passed by Rajya Sabha, be taken into consideration. At the same time, I want to say a few words. Pondicherry became a Union territory on 16th August, 1962. The Union Territory of Pondicherry has been named in Schedule I Part II of the Constitution as `Pondicherry’. But it is a long pending issue and the people of Pondicherry have been demanding renaming of Pondicherry to Puducherry as the territory was known in ancient times. It came to be pronounced as Pondicherry by foreign rulers. The Legislative Assembly of Pondicherry passed an official resolution in its meeting held on 15th October, 1980 to request the Government of India to pass necessary legislation for altering the name of Pondicherry. The proposal was also approved by the then Council of Ministers of the Union Territory of Pondicherry.

Madras where the East India Trading Company's long history, started in India. Pondicherry, the unmistakable French connection, with tree lined boulevards, the quaint colonial heritage buildings, the spiritual sceneries, the endless stretches of un spoilt virgin beaches and backwaters and a surprising choice of restaurants serving a mélange of cuisines. Cochin, its strategic importance over the centuries is underlined by the sobriquet Queen of the Arabian Sea. Informally, Cochin is also referred to as the Gateway to Kerala. And Goa, Portuguese conquerors called it the ‘Golden Goa’, the El Dorado, the ‘Rome of the East’. Some travelers remarked: ‘Whoever has seen Goa, need not visit Lisboa(Lisbon).

  • An Uneasy Alliance: Traders, Missionaries and Tamil
    An Uneasy Alliance: Traders, Missionaries and Tamil Intermediaries in Eighteenth-Century French India by Danna Agmon A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology and History) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes, Co-Chair Professor Sumathi Ramaswamy, Co-Chair, Duke University Professor Dena Goodman Professor Webb Keane Professor Ines G. Županov, Chargée de Recherche, CNRS Copyright: Danna Agmon 2011 Acknowledgments A list such as this often refers to debts acknowledged; but the word “debt” does not come close to conveying my pleasure at being able to thank the mentors, friends and family who have made the process of researching and writing this dissertation so fulfilling, meaningful and – more often than not – fun. The members of my committee have been unfailingly and uncommonly generous with their time, ideas, and enthusiasm. My co-chairs, Diane Owen Hughes and Sumathi Ramaswamy, serve as my model for a scholarly life. Collectively and individually, their curiosity, energy, creativity and empathy (for both their students and the subjects of their research) are exceptional and inspiring. They responded to long and rambling reports from the archives, read multiple drafts of chapters, and encouraged me through the years to follow my fascination with the stories told here. I could not have completed this work without their unflagging support. Having Dena Goodman as a reader was a blessing and an education: she continually and productively pushed me to make my work sharper and more nuanced, generously digging deep into the text again and again.
