Downloaded from ier.sagepub.com at COLUMBIA UNIV on March 10, 2014 Perfumed the axe that laid it low: The endangerment of sandalwood in southern India Ezra D. Rashkow Columbia University & Montclair State University Between 1950 and 1970, on average over 480,000 Indian sandalwood (Santalum album) trees were harvested annually in the state of Karnataka in southern India. Then, in 1974, it was sud- denly discovered that there were only approximately 350,000 standing trees left in the entire state. Overnight, India’s sandalwood industry ground to a halt. The species was on the brink of extinction. Harvesting and trade in Indian sandalwood, long considered the most precious wood in the world, was ineffectively banned. Smugglers could now make more money by felling sandal trees than by poaching elephants for ivory. This article uses the history of sandalwood to assess claims about the nature and impact of colonial and postcolonial forestry, arguing that at least when it came to Indian sandalwood, though European foresters did overexploit the species and also failed to conserve it, the real watershed moment for the species came not during the colonial period but rather in the independence period when industrialisation led to a major endangerment crisis for the tree.

RASHKOW Introduction This is an article about the modern environmental history of sandalwood (a widely- accepted 16 species of fragrant trees within the genus Santalum including the species Santalum album or Indian sandalwood, which this article focuses on specifi- cally), a history defined by anthropogenic impact endangering the genus across its range. Selling at about $147,000 per metric ton, the aromatic heartwood of Indian sandalwood (S. album) is arguably the most expensive wood in the world.2 Glob- ally, 90 per cent of the world’s S. album comes from India, with most of the remaining 10 per cent or so coming from the island of Timor.3 And within India, around 70 per cent of S. album comes from the state of Karnataka, with an additional 20 per cent coming from neighbouring parts of Tamil Nadu largely falling within the erstwhile Kingdom of Mysore (see Figure 1).4 Yet whereas histories have been written on the sandalwood trade in China, the Pacific, Australia, Hawaii, Timor and even Tamil Nadu, not a single study on the environmental history of sandalwood in Karnataka has been published.5 This article presents a regional history of the sandalwood industry based in what is today the state of Karnataka in southern India (primarily encompassing the former Kingdom of Mysore), but it also shows that when it comes to a commodity traded on the world market, like sandalwood, regional studies cannot be conducted in a vacuum and so a comparative global perspective is also necessary. The article argues that while both early nineteenth-century capitalist commodification and late nineteenth-century bureaucratic forestry department control were detrimental to the tree’s population in southern India, it was not until postcolonial mismanage- ment by the state-run sandal oil industry in the 1950s–70s that the species came to the brink of extinction. Using the case of sandalwood to compare and contrast the forestry regimes under the British East India Company at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Imperial Forest Department from 1860s to the 1920s, and the Karnataka Forest Department from the 1950s to the 1970s, this article finds major continuities between the three; but whereas the colonial period saw The same sentiment was framed only slightly differently as early as 1812 in the Reverend C. Colton’s Hypocrisy, p. 237, in which he wrote ‘The falling Sandal-Tree sheds fragrance round,/Perfumes the axe that fells it to the ground’. It is possible that the turn of phrase predates all of these. 2 ‘Beyond Carbon Unit Trust, Indian Sandalwood Project’. Though S. Album often receives the superlative ‘the most expensive wood in the world’, there are certain difficulties in attempting to verify this, for example, black market prices, different prices across international markets and the fact that while most timber is priced in board feet, sandalwood is sold by the metric ton. 3 Clarke, ‘Australia’s Sandalwood Industry’, p. 11. 4 Rao et al., ‘Assessing threats and mapping sandal resources’, p. 926. 5 Fontenoy, ‘Ginseng, Otter Skins, and Sandalwood’, pp. 1–16; Marks, ‘NTT Sandalwood’, pp. 223–40; Merlin and VanRavenswaay, ‘The History of Human Impact’, pp. 46–60; Saravanan, ‘Environmental History of Tamil Nadu State’, pp. 723–67; Shineberg, They came for Sandalwood; Statham, ‘The Sandalwood Industry in Australia’, p. 27; Villiers, ‘The Vanishing Sandalwood of Portuguese Timor’, pp. 86–96.

Though sandalwood smugglers were often blamed for the tree’s precarious status since the 1970s, in fact illegal poaching only became an overwhelming problem after the state–industrial complex failed to effectively manage this precious resource, leading to its endangerment and skyrocketing prices. Thus, the history of Indian sandalwood may help to shed light on at least one key debate that has dominated environmental history since the field’s inception. As a preeminent scholar of environmental history in South Asia has pointed out, a broad theme of enquiry in the field has often been to ask to what extent ‘colonialism was an ecological watershed’.6 For many years, debate on the environmental history of India primarily focused on forestry, exploring the nature and impact of government- controlled forest management

  • The Impact of Modern Education on the Ruling Caste, the Urs, in the Princely State of Mysore
    142 ■ Research Note ■ Forming a Class of Gentlemen: the Impact of Modern Education on the Ruling Caste, the Urs, in the Princely State of Mysore ● Aya Ikegame 1. Introduction In the second half of the nineteenth century, modern and western education became a crucial matter not only for the Brahmins or liter- ary classes who already occupied high status in the colonial adminis- tration, but also for the Kshatriyas, especially princes and royals [Allen and Dwivedi 1998; Price 1996]. It may be argued that they wished to maintain, through such education, their authority as 'proper rulers' both from the point of view of their people and from that of the colonial power)) But what is a 'proper ruler'? What did it mean to be a king or a Kshatriya ruler in colonial times? The topic, which will be discussed here, concerns the nature and form of modern education introduced among Indian rulers, royals, and their caste members, the Urs, in the princely state of Mysore from the end of the nineteenth to the early twentieth century.

  • Memorial to BP Radhakrishna
    Memorial to B.P. Radhakrishna (1918–2012) RASOUL SORKHABI University of Utah, Energy and Geoscience Institute, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108, USA Bangalore Puttaiya Radhakrishna, known affection- ately to his friends and colleagues as BPR, an eminent Indian geologist and an honorary fellow of the Geological Society of America, died in his hometown of Bangalore, southern India, on 26 January 2012 at age 94. BPR was born on 30 April 1918 in Bangalore in Karnataka State. He was the third of the six sons of Shreemati (Mrs.) Venkamma and Shri (Mr.) Bangalore Puttaiah, a noted Indian journalist and superintendent of Mysore State’s book printing. BPR grew up in Bangalore and studied at Fort High School, close to his residence district of Chamarajpet. He obtained his bachelor of science (honors) degree from Central College in 1937 with a gold medal for first in his class. His interest in geology was triggered at an early age by reading geology books, especially Archibald Geikie’s Founders of Geology, in his father’s library (his father was a geology graduate). Indeed, BPR was influenced by his father’s intellectual interests and later wrote his biography Nanna Thande (“My Father,” 1949) in his mother tongue of Kannada. Soon after his graduation, BPR joined the Mysore Geological Department (now called the Department of Mines and Geology of Karnataka State), which was established in 1894. The huge library and renowned geologists of the Mysore Geological Department along with the rich mineral resources and geologically fascinating landscape of Karnataka inspired BPR to excel in understanding the Precambrian geology and natural resources of his home state.

ABSTRACT In a country where access to information technology is unevenly distributed, what role can technology play in promoting participatory democracy? In many developing countries, there is evidence of urban fragmentation, spatial segregation, and high costs of urban infrastructures and services. Local governments find it difficult to manage this space and satisfy the demands of their citizens. To increase their efficiency, local governments are adopting information technologies under initiatives branded as e-government. Citizens groups are seeking action spaces to solve local problems triggered by global trends and often see information and communication technologies (ICT) as part of the solution. This raises interesting questions about the role of ICTs in urban civic life in developing countries.

Mysore is known as the “Cultural Capital” of the state and is a fine combination of the historic heritage and contemporary achievements of the city. As a land of the mighty maharajas Mysore has always been an appealing place of grandeur. The Wodayars were patrons of the cultural growth of the city. Significantly to the cultural growth of the city the continuous patronage and support of the kings in every field led to the evolution of a distinct style known as the “Mysore style” in all the fields like painting, architecture music, dance and poetry etc. Introduction Indian classical dance forms features more significant in one form that might not be found in other style. Although it has the origin – natyasastra an Indian dance forms are formed with their own principles and distinctiveness, these dance forms has marched forward gradually attaining new dimensions and thus flourished independently.
