Outline of the Centre and its activities

Founded in 1988, the Centre for South Asian Studies (CSAS) is the central academic unit in Scotland dedicated to the study of South Asia. With 24 full-time associated staff in Edinburgh, four honorary fellows, and 18 more staff affiliated across Scotland and northern Britain, the Centre is one of the leading centres for South Asian Studies in the UK.

The Centre is particularly strong in the Social Sciences, with four Sociologists, a Geographer, and six Social Anthropologists active in the study of South Asia – more than any other UK University.

Although the majority of staff are concerned with modern India, we bring together South Asian expertise across the University to create a lively environment supporting the interdisciplinary study of the subcontinent. Outwith the University, the Centre seeks to relate the study of India and South Asia as a whole to the wider community, through links with the Scottish Parliament, NGOs and major educational and cultural organisations in South Asia and Scotland.

Teaching The Centre advises students taking undergraduate degrees relating to South Asia and offers its own introductory undergraduate area studies courses - South Asian Studies 2ah and 2bh. It also assists in the administration of two undergraduate degrees programmes: ‘Sociology with South Asian Studies’ and ‘Social Anthropology with South Asian Studies’.

At postgraduate level, an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in South Asian Studies is available to suit the needs of those whose interests do not easily fit into a disciplinary field. There is also an inter-disciplinary M.Sc. by Research in South Asian Studies. This can be undertaken by students from any disciplinary background. The core courses for this degree are:

●● South Asian Studies: Conceptual and Theoretical Underpinnings (20 credits) ●● Contemporary South Asian Issues and Debates (20 credits) ●● A supervised Research Dissertation (60, 80 or 100 credits) on a subject of the student’s choice. www.csas.ed.ac.uk | 5

Finally, an interdisciplinary postgraduate reading group, which examines key introductory as well as novel texts relating to modern South Asian Studies is available to all students.

The Centre is currently involved in discussions to introduce taught MSc programmes in Colonial and Post-Colonial Studies, and in South Asia and International Development.

Conferences and Seminars Each year the Centre holds a conference and workshops. It also runs a regular and lively seminar programme involving a wide variety of distinguished guest and resident speakers - including postgraduates.

Since January 2007 we have hosted (i) a two-day conference on the Himalayas (Jan. 2007); (ii) a major International Conference, alongside a number of public events, to commemorate the Indian Uprising of 1857 (July 2007); (iii) the annual meeting of the South Asian Anthropologists Group (September 2007); (iv) a workshop on Gender and Politics in India (May 2008); (v) a workshop on Adivasi (tribal) Movements in India (June 2008). In March 2009 we hosted the Annual Meeting of the British Association of South Asian Studies; and in September 2009, the Third European South Asia PhD workshop.

Research Projects The Centre successfully promotes and supports interdisciplinary research with (for example) a total of £1.3 million being awarded in grants to associate members of the Centre in 2006-07 alone. In any one year there are always one or two externally-funded Nuffield, ESRC or Leverhulme, research fellows attached to the Centre.

Publications The Centre produces a variety of publications, including a downloadable series entitled Edinburgh Research Papers in South Asian Studies. The Centre has also a book series commissioned with Routledge Press, entitled Routledge Edinburgh South Asian Studies. The series is edited by Crispin Bates and an editorial committee drawing upon the wide variety of expertise available within the Centre.

Fellowships The Centre administers three visiting Fellowships, one junior for India (on behalf of the Charles Wallace Foundation and in collaboration with the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities), one junior (on behalf of the Charles Wallace Pakistan Trust) and one senior (the L.M. Singhvi Visiting Professorship) – which brings a distinguished Indian academic to Edinburgh each year. Recent invitees have included Professor Romila Thapar of Jawaharlal Nehru University, Professor Sumit Sarkar of Delhi University, Professor Gyan Pandey of Emory University and Professor Dipesh Chakrabarty of Chicago University. 6 | Centre for South Asian Studies, The University of Edinburgh

Research Links and Exchange Programmes The Centre is committed to fostering research links and exchange programmes with other Universities. These have included a formal link with the University of Colombo (1995- 1998), and a link with Calcutta University, which in 2006-07 saw three Edinburgh students travelling to Calcutta to study for 9 months as part of their undergraduate programme. We have an Erasmus exchange link with the Sud-Asien Institute at Heidelberg University, and approval has recently been secured for the development of multi-disciplinary research collaboration and exchange programmes with Delhi University and with the National Museum of Ethnology (MINPAKU) in Japan.

A modest scholarship (the Rafe Bullick memorial fund) enables one or two students each summer to be sent to Seva Mandir, a voluntary organisation working on rural and tribal development issues in and around Udaipur district, in southern Rajasthan. The Centre also assists in promotion of a travel scholarship programme on behalf of the Rajiv Gandhi Trust, which sends 3-4 Edinburgh students to study in India over the summer each year.

Members of the centre have personal and research links with staff in the Universities of Delhi (JNU, Jamia Milia and Delhi University itself), Calcutta, Ahmedabad (G.B. Pant Institute for the Social Sciences), Bangalore (Institute for Advanced Studies), Chennai, Peshwar, Lahore, Peradeniya, Kathmandu and Colombo,. The Centre has particularly strong links with South Asianists working elsewhere in Scotland (notably, the Universities of Glasgow, Strathclyde, St. Andrews, Aberdeen, and Stirling) and with centres of South Asian Studies on the continent of Europe. Europe-wide activities include the convening of an annual ‘European Postgraduate Workshop’ in collaboration with the Universities of Leiden, Ghent, Heidelberg, Amsterdam and Oslo (and occasionally also Lisbon and Paris). www.csas.ed.ac.uk | 7

Funding Apart from an endowment to pay for the visiting Singhvi Visiting Professorship, the Centre's core funding consists of an annual grant from the School of Social and Political Science. However, significant but highly variable funds are also earned each year from the overheads on UK research council grants, which enables the Centre to fund workshops, visiting speakers, public lectures, and a variety of outreach activities.

Past directors have included Professor John Brockington (Sanskrit), Professor Jonathan Spencer (Social Anthropology), Professor Roger Jeffery (Sociology), and Dr. Crispin Bates (History). Secretarial support is provided by a secretary based in the Chrystal MacMillan Building, 15A George Square, Edinburgh.

At present the Centre has no full-time dedicated staff but draws upon teaching expertise from a wide variety of subject areas. This is in accordance with the manner in which the Centre was established, as a grassroots initiative of interested and enthusiastic staff, with the aim of promoting interdisciplinarity and innovation in both teaching and research across the University.

Outreach The Centre has an extensive outreach agenda which includes the Indian community throughout Scotland and north Britain. We engage members of the British-Indian and South Asian community as widely as possible by means of newsletters, public lectures, film screenings and cultural events co-sponsored, wherever possible, alongside local community organisations such as the Edinburgh Indian Association. Links have been established and are being further built upon with the Scottish Parliament, NGOs and major educational and cultural organisations in both India and Scotland. 8 | Centre for South Asian Studies, The University of Edinburgh

History of South Asian Studies in Edinburgh

The recent history of the teaching and study of Indian and South Asian topics is linked to the Centre for South Asian Studies, which was established in 1988 as a sub-unit of what was then the Department of Sanskrit. A major task of the Centre has been to co-ordinate South Asian teaching and research around the University. The Centre's core staff come from the disciplines of History, Sanskrit, Social Anthropology and Sociology within the Schools of History, Classics & Archaeology, Asian Studies, and Social & Political Science. The majority of staff are thus members of the College of Humanities & Social Science but the remit and membership of the Centre extends throughout the University, and includes also Geography, Religious Studies, and Business Studies.

The first activity of the Centre was to create a second-level course (South Asian Studies 2) which now has an annual intake of over 40 students. In 1992 two new degrees were established in Social Anthropology and in Sociology with South Asian Studies. Since then the Centre has considerably expanded its activities through teaching and research and has affirmed its place as the Centre for South Asian Studies in Scotland and one of the leading centres in the U.K.

Background Edinburgh has had a long tradition of teaching and scholarship on Indian and South Asian topics and has long been the principal centre of expertise in Scotland. An early example was William Robertson, the University's famous Professor of History, and Principal from 1762 to 1793. Robertson's An Historical Disquisition Concerning the Knowledge which the Ancients had of India, published in 1791, was amongst the earliest European texts to take a serious interest in Indian commerce and culture.

In the colonial period, many Edinburgh graduates worked in the Indian sub-continent in the Government services, as missionaries, in commerce, or in industry. They became especially prominent in the East India Company's service when Henry Dundas (born and graduated in Edinburgh) chaired the Board of Control in the late eighteenth century, with as many as one- fifth of the Company writer's in Calcutta and Madras being Scottish in origin by the 1790's. A still more prominent role was later played by Scots in the India military, whilst no less www.csas.ed.ac.uk | 9

than 8 out of the 38 Indian Viceroys and Governor-Generals between 1774 and 1947 were of Scottish origin - the last being the Earl of Linlithgow (another graduate of the University). Many have left behind private papers that are accessible in Edinburgh.

The beginning of the modern academic study in Edinburgh of South Asia is closely linked to the influence of two early East India Company officials, John and William Muir. John (1810- 1882) was the eldest, and William (1819-1905) the youngest, of four sons of a Glasgow merchant, all of whom were provided with positions in the East India Company by a friend of their widowed mother. The two middle brothers died in India. John rose to be a District Judge and retired in 1853, returning to Edinburgh. William Muir was in Agra during the events of 1857-58 and later became Lieutenant-Governor of the North-Western Provinces, retiring to Edinburgh in 1875 when he became Principal of the University, remaining in post until he died. In 1862, the two brothers established the Chair of Sanskrit, with the right to nominate the first holder, Theodor Aufrecht. After this the right reverted to the Crown as a Regius Chair.

Soon after the establishment of the chair in Sanskrit, Hugh Cleghorn (founder, with Brandis, of the Indian Forestry Service) was appointed to the first lectureship in Forestry in 1869. The very first Indian Students Association was then founded in Edinburgh, in 1875,in response to the large influx of students of both medicine and forestry from India. This has since been transformed into the Edinburgh Indian Association, with which the Centre retains close links, as with the Edinburgh South Asian Students Association.

The second holder of the Sanskrit Chair, Julius Eggeling, Professor from 1875 to 1914, was the author of the main article on Sanskrit in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and was Curator of the University Library from 1900 to 1913. In August 1914 he left for vacation in his native Germany and because of the War was unable to return before his death in 1918. Eggeling taught Arthur Berriedale Keith, who then went to Balliol College, Oxford and began a career as a civil servant. Keith held the Regius Chair from 1914 to 1944. He also acquired in 1927 the title of Lecturer in the Constitution of the British Empire, preferring these combined posts in his native Edinburgh to accepting chairs of Sanskrit in Harvard or Oxford. He is best known for his work on colonial history and legal development, and he became an authority on constitutional reform in India, but he also published widely on Sanskrit.

The Regius Chair of Sanskrit was left unfilled after Keith's death, but in the 1950s-1980s Edinburgh University was graced by the presence of the Marxist historian Victor Kiernan, famous for his translations of the poetry of Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Mohammed Iqbal and as author of The Lords of Human Kind (1969). R.E. Asher became Professor of Linguistics (specializing in Dravidian languages) from 1977 to 1993 and the chair in Sanskrit was eventually filled when John Brockington was appointed to a Personal Chair in 1998 until 10 | Centre for South Asian Studies, The University of Edinburgh

his retirement in 2006. Both Asher and Brockington remain honorary fellows of the Centre. Close connections exist between India and Edinburgh's medical school and colleges.

Edinburgh University trained in addition many scientists who later played substantial parts in the collection and classification of the flora of India, a unique collection of drawings and plant materials is consequently now held in the Royal Botanical Gardens of Edinburgh. A large number of manuscripts concerning India are also available in the National Library of Scotland on George IV Bridge and in the National Archive for Scotland on Princes Street, where the papers of Governor-General Dalhousie (for example) are held. They form an extensive research resource, the National Library preserving the private papers of many senior Indian Civil Servants and the complete collection of the records of the Scottish Churches Missionary Society. The library of New College (now the School of Divinity) - where many Scottish missionaries were educated - holds meanwhile one of the most extensive collections of Missionary periodicals. The location of many of Edinburgh's manuscript resources are listed in A Guide to MSS in the British Isles relating to South and Southeast Asia, by J. D. Pearson, Volume 2, (London: Mansell, 1990). Further details are available under ‘Research’ from the CSAS website at www.csas.ed.ac.uk

Apart from those already mentioned, other famous individuals graduating from or associated with the University of Edinburgh and India include; David and James Anderson (soldiers and servants to the East India Company in the time of Warren Hastings), John Wilson (a missionary and orientalist, contemporary of Alexander Duff, who became a champion of English and vernacular instruction in Bombay). William Erskine (historian of medieval India), James Mill (political philosopher, India Office official, and historian), Andrew Fraser (Indian Civil Service officer), Stephen Hislop (missionary, geologist, and early anthropologist), Alexander Grant (Foreign Secretary, then Chief Commissioner NWFP), William Wedderburn (administrator and politician), Aghorenath Chattopadhyay (father of Sarojini Naidu), Patrick Geddes (botanist and city planner to Calcutta), Charles Aitchison (ICS), George Birdwood (ICS), William Blackwood (publisher - born in Lucknow), John Malcolm (diplomat and administrator), William Jardine and James Matheson (merchants), and Dr. T. M. Nair (founder of the Justice Party in 1920s South India). More recent graduates of the 20th century include R.L. (Ravi) Kapur, the famous Indian psychiatrist, and Armeane Choksi, a former Vice-President of the World Bank. www.csas.ed.ac.uk | 11

Current research projects

Members of the Centre have received exclusive grants, or a share of grants, totalling approximately £1.5 million (€2 million) since September 2006. Most of these projects have run for two or more years.

'MUTINY AT THE MARGINS' This was a £450,000 Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) -funded research project which commenced September 2006. 'Mutiny at the Margins' aims to provide long overdue revisionist perspectives on the Indian Uprising of 1857 through thematic, collaborative research, a network of international scholars, and a major international conference held in Edinburgh in July 2007 to coincide with the 150th anniversary of this event. The project coincided with exhibitions at the National Library of Scotland and the National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh, a parallel conference in India, and a workshop organised by the Royal Asiatic Society in London. Participants in the project included Andrea Major and Markus Daechsel, Kim Wagner and Marina Carter (History, Classics & Archaeology). For further details please visit the project website at www.csas.ed.ac.uk/mutiny/index.html or e-mail the project leader, Dr. Crispin Bates at [email protected].

'EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES FOR THE POOR' This is a £2.5 million project running from Oct. 2005 until Sept. 2010 involving Roger Jeffery, Neil Thin, Patricia Jeffery and colleagues in the Centre for African Studies here in Edinburgh and at the University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, and 4 partners in India, Pakistan, Kenya and Ghana. In India and Pakistan, Roger Jeffery and Patricia Jeffery are helping to facilitate qualitative research on health, fertility and social outcomes of education (such as forms of social organisation, social exclusion and participation in key social institutions). Roger Jeffery is also co-ordinating qualitative research across the other aspects of this project, concerned with labour market outcomes, public- private partnerships in schooling, and in changes in patterns of educational funding. For more details please visit the project website at: http://www.educ.cam.ac.uk/recoup/ or E-mail Roger Jeffery at [email protected]. 12 | Centre for South Asian Studies, The University of Edinburgh

‘TRACING PHARMACEUTICALS' This is a £580,00 research project funded by the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC/DfID) from 2007-2010 and led by Professor Roger Jeffery. It involves Stefan Ecks, Ian Harper & Patricia Jeffery in SSPS and Prof Allyson Pollock and David Price in the Centre for International Public Health Policy. The main aims of this research are: to map the use of three medicines (oxytocin, rifampicin and fluoxetine) in Nepal, West Bengal [WB] and Uttar Pradesh [UP]; to understand better how inappropriate use is possible, despite national and international regulatory regimes and industry ‘best practice’; to understand better how these processes hinder efforts at the improvement of maternal health, the control of infectious diseases, and the creation of a global development partnership, and thereby to contribute indirectly to policy improvements in these areas; and to contribute to emerging theoretical approaches and research methods by bringing together work in medical anthropology and the study of global assemblages, with studies by political economists of global commodity chains. For further details please visit the project website at http://www. health.ed.ac.uk/CIPHP/ourresearch/DFIDESRCtraps.htm (hosted by the School of Health in Social Science) or E-mail Roger Jeffery at [email protected].

'DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE IN NORTH INDIA: A LONGITUDINAL MICRO-STUDY' This was a Wellcome funded project led by Professor Patricia Jeffery and involving Professor Roger Jeffery designed to restudy two villages (one Hindu and one Muslim in Bijnor district in north-west Uttar Pradesh, India) we first studied in 1982-83. A primary focus in this research was to investigate the significance of changes that have taken place in several indicators of women's status (kind and extent of work outside the home, young women's schooling, prevalence and scale of dowry payments). The project was completed in March 2006. For further details see the project website www.csas.ed.ac.uk/wellcome.php or E-mail Professor Patricia Jeffery at [email protected].

'SCHOOLING AND SOCIAL EXCLUSION IN WESTERN UP, INDIA' This recently completed ESRC-funded project examined how the growth of secondary schooling is changing patterns of social inequality and social exclusion in rural western Uttar Pradesh (UP). The project was led by Professor Patricia Jeffery and involved Roger Jeffery (Sociology and CSAS) and Craig Jeffrey (Formerly Dept. of Geography, now University of Oxford). For further details please visit the project web page at www.csas. ed.ac.uk/upproject/index.html or E-mail Patricia Jeffery at [email protected] www.csas.ed.ac.uk | 13

'THE CONVERSION OF ASYLUM APpLICANTS' NARRATIVES INTO LEGAL DISCOURSES IN THE UK AND FRANCE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PROBLEMS OF CULTURAL TRANSLATION' This project, funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC), had the primary objective of comparing processes of cultural translation involved in writing down and re-presenting South Asian and other asylum applicant’s narratives of persecution by their legal representatives in the UK and France. The focus was primarily on how these narratives are structured into legally-acceptable forms of discourse. The research also involved analysing the wider structural contexts in both countries, including the impact of recent legislation; relationships between NGOs and the state; and inter-NGO cooperation. £250,000 over two years.

‘LEARNING AT THE SWAMI’S FEET: HINDU YOUTH AND FAITH-BASED EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN SOUTH INDIA’ This project, involving Patricia Jeffery and Aya Ikegame, is examining schools run by Hindu religious institutions called Mathas in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. It is funded by the AHRC/ESRC religion and society initiative. The project endeavours 1: to understand how educational institutions run by Hindu monasteries (Mathas) contribute to the development of various community (caste, regional, and religious) identities in South India, 2: to assess the social impact of the Matha-run schools' attempts to bring about social transformation through education, and 3: to examine the relationship between the Matha-run schools and the state. This is the first of a number of projects planned to study the relationship between gurus and society in South India. £82,000 over 12 months.
