Abstract:

AbstractAt the start of the millennium Council reviewed medals and prizes and decided to discontinue the Gold Medal (which had not in any case been awarded for some time) and establish in its place the Society's Award. This Award will be made every two or three years in recognition of outstanding scholarship in Asian studies. Having considered a number of tenders, Council commissioned Ms Danuta Solowiej-Wedderburn to design and cast a medal bearing versions of two of the original Daniell images: the elephant and howdah on one side and the banyan-tree on the other (see John Hansman, “The Emblems, Medals and Medallists of the Royal Asiatic Society”, JRAS [1984 Part 1], pp. 99–119. Council approved the nomination of Mr John M. Gullick, who was recommended by a search committee (chaired by the Director) to be the first recipient of the RAS Award. On 10 January 2002 the President presented the RAS Award for 2001 to Mr Gullick who replied with a lecture, “An Indian official in Singapore: Governor Cavanagh (1859–1867)”.

Abstract:

Both the Society's financial results for 2005 which you have before you, and the financial performance for the current year are, obviously, dominated by the cost of the move from 60 Queen's Gardens to 14 Stephenson Way, together with the cost of the transformation of 14 Stephenson Way so that it meets the Society's various requirements.

Abstract:

The establishment of the Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal in the late eighteenth century, whose chief goal was to introduce the civilizations of Eastern societies to the West, encouraged a series of enquiries by British writers and travelers on the history, culture, art, antiquities, and literature of Eastern countries, including Afghanistan. This chapter analyzes the writings of three enterprising British explorers who traveled to Afghanistan in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It focuses on the travel accounts of George Forster, Mountstuart Elphinstone, and Charles Masson, men separated in time, interests and ambitions, but whose work, when examined collectively, delivers from personal observation an expansive picture of Afghanistan in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Such detail has not been found anywhere else, even within indigenous sources, which makes their writings essential and indispensable resources for studying the history, culture and society of Afghanistan in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Together, their enquiries concerning ethnographic, cultural, and social life in Afghanistan have formed a topographical and cultural template for future researchers.

Abstract:

Abstract During the Middle Kingdom, Egypt had a complex relationship with the region of the Eastern Mediterranean and its peoples, ranging from belligerency to cooperation. The former is reflected in military forays by land and sea into the Levant, while the latter is 21.1 exemplified by royal trade expeditions to the Levant and Sinai; tribute extraction, as recorded in text and art, lay between these extremes. These activities resulted in much-needed material imports originating from the Mediterranean coast (e.g., coniferous longwoods) and even farther afield, which enriched and strengthened the Egyptian crown and the elite. At the same time, over the course of the period in question, “Asiatic” immigrants arrived in Egypt, either by force or by their own volition, and throughout the Nile valley found increasingly more important roles in society and the economy; their acculturation is documented in both texts and depictions. This chapter reconsiders the nature of this relationship based on the most up-to-date data. In particular, the analysis eschews previous explanations that were predicated on the assumption of a unique relationship between Egypt and the northern Levantine port of Byblos. Instead, the evidence suggests the existence of a much more complex web of relationships, based both on maritime and land contacts, with a range of places along the Eastern Mediterranean littoral zone. These relationships were ultimately the basis for the large-scale immigration of “Asiatics” to the Nile delta, whose prominence rose as the Middle Kingdom declined.

Abstract:

Bombay did not play the kind of administrative nodal role that first Madras and later Calcutta did in terms of overarching governance in the Indian subcontinent, occupying instead a pivotal position for the region’s commerce and industry. Nonetheless, the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Bombay were a formative age for education and research in science, as in the other Presidencies. A colonial government, a large native population enrolled in the new European-style educational system, and the rise of several institutions of instruction and learning, fostered an environment of scientific curiosity. The Asiatic Society of Bombay (1804), which was initially the hub of research in all disciplines, became increasingly antiquarian and ethnographic through the course of the nineteenth century. The Victoria and Albert Museum (conceived in 1862 and built by 1871 and opened to the public in 1872), was established to carry out research on the industrial arts of the region, taking for its original collections fine and decorative arts that highlight practices and crafts of various communities in the Bombay Presidency. The University of Bombay (1857) was primarily tasked with teaching, and it was left to other establishments to conduct research. Key institutions in this regard included the Bombay Natural History Society (1883) given to local studies of plants and animals, and the Haffkine Institute (1899), which examined the role of plague that had been a dominant feature of the social cityscape from 1896. The Royal Institute of Science (1920) marked a point of departure, as it was conceived as a teaching institution but its lavish funding demanded a research agenda, especially at the post-graduate level. The Prince of Wales Museum (1922) would prove to be seminal in matters of collection and display of objects for the purpose of research. All of these institutions would shape the intellectual debates in the city concerning higher education. Typically founded by European colonial officials, they would increasingly be administered and staffed by Indians.

Abstract:

Abstract In 1776 Sir William Jones, the founder of the Royal Asiatic Society and the chief justice of India, gave a lecture in which he drew attention to certain similarities which he had noticed between Sanskrit and European languages: The Sanskrit language, whatever may be its antiquity, is of wonderful structure; more perfect than the Greek, more copious than the Latin, and more exquisitely refined than either; yet bearing to both of them a stronger affinity, both in the roots of verbs and in the forms of grammar, than could have been produced by accident; so strong that no philologer could examine all the three without believing them to have sprung from some common source, which, perhaps, no longer exists. There is a similar reason, though not quite so forcible, for supposing that both the Gothic and Celtic, though blended with a different idiom, had the same origin with the Sanskrit; and the old Persian might be added to the same family. Although Jones was not the first to notice this resemblance, his lecture is often seen as the public announcement of a long process of scholarship mainly in the first half of the nineteenth century which led to the postulation of a reconstructed ancestor for a number of languages that have been spoken in an area stretching from the British Isles and Scandinavia in the west across the whole of Europe to Siberia and a large part of the Indian subcontinent. This reconstructed language is Proto-Indo-European (PIE, for short). There are no records of PIE. It is a hypothetical language worked out on the basis of comparing examples of words from languages that have survived (or of which we have some records) with their equivalent in other Indo-European languages.
