Full textAbstract:
Soviet writers have often claimed that there was no Russian threat to India. They have pointed, correctly, to the circumstance that no invasion attempt was ever launched and have stated that those projects which were canvassed were no more than the ideas of hotheaded generals and the like, were never adopted by the Russian Government and cannot be taken seriously. Further, they have pointed to the rejection of approaches made to Russian authorities by discontented Indians who sought Russian assistance in overthrowing British rule in India. Talk of the defence of British India, with its implication that there was a genuine Russian threat to be warded off, they argue, is more than misleading; it was a deception practised by nineteenth-century British rulers of India to disguise expansionist British aims in India and, beyond the Indian frontier, in the Persian Gulf, Iran, Afghanistan and Turkestan, and it is now a device employed by modern British historians to conceal the true nature of British imperialism in India and to blacken the reputation of Russia. They do not accept that British statesmen and military officers could genuinely have believed in the possibility of a Russian invasion of India; and they suppose that British historians are not so incompetent as to think that nineteenth-century Britons did believe that the threat was real.

Kongzi/Kongfuzi or Confucius of “China” and Cānakya/Viṣṇugupta or Kauṭilya of “India” were statesmen as well as teachers, though never professional classroom instructors. They both dedicated themselves to advising royalty and the ruling class in the art of administration as well as in the secrets of success and survival in a world that was at once uncharitable and unprincipled. Nevertheless, both base their counsels on morality—Kongzi on ren [benevolence] and de [virtue] and Kauṭilya on dharma [duty] and daṇḍa [law]. Both seek to enhance the quality of human life in terms of material and moral riches, their only distinction being the Chinese Master’s teachings are primarily philosophical thus bearing the stamp of universality, whereas the Indian ācārya’s [preceptor’s] insights pertain to the interests of his particular state.

The educationists and the statesmen of different eras have casted mathematics education in different forms, and it has swayed to and from the elites to the commoners several times. The vision of the educationists always took tolls on mathematics curriculum, which survived the maximum change during the past one century. Several unorganized or partially organized ventures of mathematics education planning were seen in the pre-colonial era whereas the colonial period displayed some extremely organized, target-oriented decisions regarding the education system as a whole, taking mathematics in and out of focus. In this article, we have focused on the change in mathematics curriculum at the secondary school level in India.

India and the United States, as the world's two largest democracies, share common values and interests that form the basis of their relationship. However, their historical journey towards a closer partnership has been shaped by a range of factors, including political considerations, strategic interests, economic opportunities, and shared challenges on the global stage.The present article sheds light on dynamics in India –US relations during the two tenures of the UPA government (2004-2009 & 2009-2014). As it is a dynamic subject and a matter of contemporary relevance and importance, India-US relations is still attracting the attention of scholars around the world. Statesmen on both sides have bemoaned this period as ‘the lost half century’ or ‘the fifty wasted years’ during which the world’s largest democracy and the world’s oldest democracy failed to cooperate consistently across a range of issues.The UPA governments' tenure marked a turning point in the relationship, characterized by strategic initiatives such as the New Framework for the US-India Defence Relationshipand US-India Civil Nuclear Agreement,which paved the way for enhanced defence, nuclear energy, economic and tradecooperation. It provided a comprehensive roadmap for engagement in areas such as joint exercises, defence trade, and research and development collaboration.

Full textAbstract:
Historians, statesmen, administrators, nationalists and others have disagreed sharply about the impact of modernization in the era of Western domination. Did Western rule provide the tools for Indian progress but did economically medieval, ‘other-worldly’ Indians fail to maximize the benefits of modernization and even thwart advances? Conversely, did Western imperialism systematically impoverish India by making it a ‘satellite,’ freezing the subcontinent into a neo-feudal social pattern while sucking up its wealth? Finally, is a ‘new revisionist’ interpretation correct that India experienced real if undramatic economic growth during the Western era and that notions of exploitation or Indian suffering induced by development were myths? Interpretations expressing either the great success and benign innovations of Western rule, or its exploitiveness both appear flawed, according to Bombay's modernizing experience. Bombay underwent a great expansion of wealth and became the source of India's new factory textile production, the hub of a great newwork of trasport and trade, and the cosmopolitan abode of wealth Indian merchants, industrialist and professionals, whose affluence, modernity, industrializing activies and eventual nationalist orientation distinguished them from a supine or neo-feudal comprador class, cooperating with Western masters in exploiting ‘natives’ for a myrmidon's share of the profits. Alternatively, Bombay's prosperity did not flow down to the masses; its modernization was complex, dynamically helping to produce progress and wealth, but for some decades impoverishing and destroying many lives. In the half-century of rapid development preceding the first world war, the great majority of Bombay's populace, its ordinary working classes, experienced significant declines in living standards, worsening environmental conditions and escalating death-rates. Diminished real income and increased mortality among Bombay's ordinary inhabitants warn against extrapolating from rising indices of material production an optimistic conclusion about the general human condition in the city or in British India.

Full textAbstract:
The law of nations was not concocted by ‘bookworms’, ‘jurists’ or ‘professors’, but was created and elaborated by the deeds of statesmen, diplomats, generals, and admirals.1 This statement of the celebrated English jurist, Professor Holland, appears very much true, when attention is given to the achievements of the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru. Being a world statesman, he projected India's constitutional vision of international order, which reflects in the doctrine of Panchsheel, as five principles of peace. The aim of this paper is to study, in general, Nehru's contribution to the maintenance of peace, good neighbourliness and the idea of moral conduct in international relations. To keep this paper within limits, it is addressed to two objectives: First, a survey of the Constituent Assembly debates in order to provide an account of the thoughts of the framers of the Indian Constitution and to find out how far Nehru's ideas influenced the drafting of articles relating to India's international relations; and Second, an evaluation of the concept of Panchsheel that characterizes the development of International Law in Asia. It is also felt useful to take this opportunity to note Nehru's idea of peace and the Asian phase of his political thought. It will be concluded that Nehru's Panchsheel message reflected India's constitutional vision of world order, and it will be further submitted in respect of the doctrine that the contribution has, at least, at the normative level, strengthened the regime of the principles of International Law and peace. The paper is divided into four parts. The first part deals with Nehru's constitutional vision; the second discusses his idea of peace and the third analyses the doctrine. Finally, the fourth part is the conclusion.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article uses the British colonial history of border making in northern India to examine the assumptions and contradictions at work in the theorizing, configuring, and mapping of frontiers and borders. It focuses, in particular, on the development of the ‘water-parting principle’ – wherein the edge of a watershed is considered to be the border – and how this principle was used to determine boundaries in the northwestern Himalaya, a region that had long-established notions of border points, but no borderlines. By the twentieth century, the water-parting principle would become the dominant boundary logic for demarcating borders in mountainous regions, and would be employed by statesmen, treaty editors, and boundary commissioners around the world. But for the northwestern Himalaya, a region that British colonial officials considered to be the ‘finest natural combination of boundary and barrier that exists in the world’, making a border proved much more difficult than anticipated.

The article continues the series on the history of geology and is devoted to the Natural Science Museum of the St. Petersburg Mining University, namely its mineral collection. From the letters found by the author in the archive of Professor D. P. Grigoriev’s
 archive, kept in the Russian Mineralogical Society we can learn, interesting information about the circumstances of the acquisition of certain collections and exhibits, and about people worthy to remain in the history of mineralogy. At the same time, wide connections of D. P. Grigoriev with industrial and academic organisations and his active work on the creation and dissemination of the doctrine of mineral ontogeny, which eventually became a section of the university course of mineralogy, were revealed. The letters were accompanied by photographs from the same archive. The aim of the article was to cover the history of Russian mineralogy as fully as possible, including the role of organisations and individuals, and to reconstruct details of their biographies. Some of the problems discussed in the letters are still relevant today. The reader's attention should be attracted by the names of statesmen Prince G. Orbeliani, Prime Minister of India J. Nehru, Emperor of Ethiopia H. Selassie, mineralogists A. E. Fersman, G. N. Vertushkov, Yu. S. Kobyashev, name of the Ural historical deposits Gumeshevka and Vatikha, enterprise «Russian precious stones» mentioned in one context. The article is timed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the Mining Museum.

Business strategists are well aware of the work of Italian statesman Machiavelli and Chinese scholar Sun Tzu. Their books are increasingly read and appreciated by researchers and managers around the world. Unfortunately, most academics and practitioners appear to have overlooked another eastern scholar of similar value who was writing in ancient India around the same time that Sun Tzu was writing in China. This article presents the wisdom of Chanakya, an ancient Indian statesman and scholar, to business executives and scholars. His book Arthashastra (The Science of Wealth) written about 2500 years ago as a treatise on political governance can contribute immensely to business competitiveness in today's world, both domestically and internationally. Understanding Chanakya's work can help Indian companies grow and succeed vis-à-vis their competitors domestically and internationally as well as Western companies interested in doing business in India.

Full textAbstract:
Zahir ud-Din Muhammad Babur Shah Ghazi, one of most important rulers of Turkish and Islamic history, but little known in some countries, is an exceptional person who changed the flow of history. If it is expressed from today’s point of view, Babur Shah, the founder of the Baburs, is a lead-er, a person carrying “global characteristics”. He is a ruler, statesman, ad-ministrator, soldier, commander, writer, poet, calligrapher, musician, com-poser, Sufi and a good family head. With the state that he established, he changed not only political but also the socio-cultural structure of Indian geography. He carried the knowledge, wisdom, politics, state, technique, material and spiritual accumulation of the Ma wara’un-nahr to India. He had a forward-looking, multi-cultural perspective and a consciousness of living together. He was a distinguished personality and leader who success-fully carried out this thought and understanding. Babur Shah conceived the state and society as a mixture with Turkish, Mongolian, Persian and Indian Culture in Islam crucible. The Baburs succeeded that. This mixture extended to Anatolian geography. It is possible to see that Babur Shah laid the foundations of a state having global features in India, this state lived for four centuries and affected Asia and the world, and that changed the history of Asia. In this respect, some Western historians stated that Babur Shah was an exceptional leader in the world history, and they examined his life in every aspect. The founding Prime Minister of India, Nehru having intellectual features clearly stated that Babur Shah had an important place in the history of India in many ways. This historical truth can be a source of inspiration and a roadmap for today’s Indian State in the process of glo-balization.In our study, we will try to deal with Babur Shah’s personal characteristics, political stance, position, decisions and practices from a global perspective. We will evaluate the global heritage and characteristics of the civilization that the Baburs established in India in his presence.

Full textAbstract:
Foreign policy conduct of a State, executed by its leaders, broadly reflects various patterns of its experiences, beliefs and policies. Domestic factors coupled with systemic pressures play an important role in shaping states’ behavior. In addition to various domestic and external factors, leadership and its ideological association play an important role in a country’s foreign policy formulation and conduct. Nevertheless, the belief system, politico-religious identity of the statesman is reflected through his foreign policy conduct. With Modi in power, Hindu nationalism has been on the rise wherein Hindu nationalists feel permitted to undermine religious minorities (Muslims) in India, Kashmiris in Indian Illegally Occupied Kashmir (IIOK) and neighbors including Pakistan. Thus, the rise of Hindu nationalism has not just challenged the secular identity of India but has also affected India’s interaction both at the domestic and international levels. BJP’s policies and actions during Modi’s tenure have undeniably eroded India’s secular identity. Modi, having a politico-religious ideology of Hindutva, has adopted a policy of belligerence towards Muslims and Pakistan. Since India’s politico-religious party – Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) – under the leadership of Modi has come to power, India’s relationship with Pakistan has been at its lowest ebb. The objective of the study is to understand the role of Hindu nationalism on Indian foreign policy behavior towards Pakistan.

AbstractManohar Lal was an outstanding student of Alfred Marshall, a highly respected teacher, a successful lawyer-politician and a very able provincial Minister of Finance. The focus, in this paper, is on his stay in Cambridge until 1906, his career in India as an economist and as a lawyer and politician in the Punjab until 1945. I argue that his work in economics was not marked by great originality. His achievements were to have been a good teacher, to have successfully competed with British students and to have established close personal links with the British academic community. In politics, while he did not have a political base and was a scholar among politicians, he held high office with great competence. I believe he was one of the select groups of Indians who provided an inspiration to others by showing that Indians could compete successfully with the best from any country at the highest level.

Full textAbstract:
O presente artigo propõe uma discussão a respeito da relação Ocidente-Oriente, procurando compreender de que forma ela está presente no contexto neoesotérico na contemporaneidade, sobretudo, no movimento da Nova Era. Partimos do pressuposto que houve a priori, uma criação do que entendemos por Oriente por parte do olhar Ocidental em seu interesse colonial, o que atraiu muitos viajantes, aventureiros e escritores para os países considerados exóticos, como o Egito e a Índia. Assim surgiu dentro da academia o Orientalismo, que dentre as suas premissas pesquisa estas relações entre europeus e suas colônias. No século XX ocorre uma proliferação e uma dinâmica de diversas formas de religiosidades de cunho esotérico que viajam para os países orientais para buscar nestas experiências os fundamentos de novas doutrinas. Destacamos neste artigo a Sociedade Teosófica Brasileira e o estabelecimento de sua sede em Brasília, fato que está intimamente relacionado a diversas crenças de caráter utópico, mítico e místico que foi atribuído à fundação da nova capital brasileira. Brasília, sonho de muitos estadistas brasileiros, se concretiza em 1960, representando uma nova era de mudanças culturais e socioeconômicas na região do Planalto Central. Seu projeto teve o cristianismo como uma de suas bases, mas a partir das diversas interpretações de um sonho profético do padre Dom Bosco, novas religiosidades peregrinam para a região, acreditando que o local é a verdadeira terra prometida que mana leite e mel.
 
 From East to West: the Brazilian Theosophical Society and Neoesoterism in Brasília
 
 The present article proposes a discussion about the West-East relationship, trying to understand how it is present in the neo-esoteric context in contemporary times, especially in the New Age movement. We start from the assumption that there was at first, a creation of what we mean by the East by the Western look in its colonial interest, which attracted many travelers, adventurers and writers to the countries considered exotic, as Egypt and India. Thus emerged in the academy the Orientalism, which among its premises investigates these relations between Europeans and their colonies. In the 20th century, there is a dynamic and a proliferation of diverse forms of esoteric religiosities that travel to Eastern countries to seek in these experiences the foundations of new doctrines. We highlight in this article the Brazilian Theosophical Society and the establishment of its headquarters in Brasilia, a fact that is closely related to several utopian, mythical and mystical beliefs attributed to the founding of the new Brazilian capital. Brasília, the dream of many Brazilian statesmen, took shape in 1960, representing a new era of cultural and socioeconomic changes in the Brazilian Highlands. His project had Christianity as one of its bases, but from the different interpretations of a prophetic dream of Father Don Bosco, new religiousness pilgrims to the region, believing that the place is the true Promised Land flowing milk and honey.

This essay focuses on two eminent thinkers whose perspectives on religious pluralism have attracted much attention: Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (1888–1975), a prominent Indian philosopher, statesman and cultural ambassador to the West, interpreting Indian philosophy and religion to a Western audience, and John Hick (1922–2012), a world renowned British theologian and philosopher of religion, known for his contentious views on Christian beliefs and philosophy of religious pluralism. The paper draws attention to some significant convergences and divergences in their thinking on religious pluralism, which can be seen in how they conceptualise the relation between the One and the Many in their writings.

Today, according to one recent estimate, 8.6 million people of South Asian origin live outside the subcontinent, in the United Kingdom and Europe (1.48 million), Africa (1.39 million), Southeast Asia (1.86 million), the Middle East (1.32 million), Caribbean and Latin America (958,000), North America (729,000), and the Pacific (954,000) (Clarke et al. 2).

AbstractSawai Jai Singh, the statesman astronomer of 18th century India, designed instruments, built observatories, prepared Zīj, and sent a fact-finding scientific mission to Europe. His high-precision instruments were designed to measure time and angles with accuracies of ± 2 second, and ±1’ of arc respectively. The Ṣaṣṭhāmsa, a meridian dial with aperture, can still measure angles with precision of ± 1’ of arc. In the age of Newton and Flamsteed, Jai Singh and his associates remained medieval, in the tradition of Ulugh Beg, and did not initiate the new age of astronomy in the country. A complex interaction of poor communications, religious taboos, theological beliefs, national rivalries and plain simple human shortcomings are to be blamed for the failing.

But in Leonard Woolf, his friend and periodic replacement at the offices of the New Statesman, we have a confidant who had, for several years before 1914, abandoned the rarefied circles of Bloomsbury, to become a civil administrator in Ceylon. Woolf's experience of colonial government had soured him from the beginning. He came to feel that the British were eternally shut out from knowledge of the lives of the Ceylonese subjects by an almost palpable curtain of ignorance and racial prejudice. Those temples of accumulated colonial knowledge, the district offices where he worked, were ‘great monuments of official incompetence, bottlenecks of delay’. When he tried to galvanize into action these places of sacred lore, the squeals of rage, from Briton and Ceylonese alike, were louder than if he had trespassed into the holiest Buddhist shrine. Yet, for all that, Woolf remained a devout believer in the individualist myth that sustained colonial rule: the ideal of the lone colonial officer and sage, standing at the centre of a web of untainted knowledge, the man who ‘knows the country’.British rule might be saved from damnation if liberal judgement were based on pure information. The problem was that, at some level, information hadto come from a ‘native informant’, an agent, a spy, an ‘approver’ who turned King's Evidence, and, by their very nature, such agencies could not be trusted.

Full textAbstract:
The present paper investigates the emergence of local norms in Indian English at the level of verb complementation, an area which so far has not attracted much attention in research into New Englishes. In attempting to describe the verb-complementational profile of Indian English, we offer a pilot study which combines a descriptive aim and a methodological aim. At the descriptive level, the present article focuses on ditransitive verbs and their complementation and addresses two related questions: (1) To what extent do the frequency and distribution of complementation patterns of specific ditransitive verbs (e.g. give) differ between Indian English and British English? (2) To what extent is the basic ditransitive pattern with two object noun phrases (e.g. in he sent Mary his warmest wishes) associated with different verbs in British English and Indian English? The present paper reveals that in both regards there are clear and identifiable differences in verb complementation between the two varieties. At the methodological level, this pilot study combines the use of balanced and representative subcorpora from the International Corpus of English (ICE) with the in-depth analysis of a much larger database that has been extracted from the Internet archive of the daily Indian newspaper The Statesman. This makes it possible to also detect examples of low-frequency constructions in Indian English, e.g. sporadic cases of ditransitive complementation of verbs such as advise, gift and impart.

Full textAbstract:
The impeachment trial of Warren Hastings has long been considered one of the key political trials in the history of the British empire. It was the first major public discursive event of its kind in England, and arguably in Europe as a whole, in which the colonial ambitions and practices of European powers in the east stood exposed to a close and comprehensive critique. In addition, the legal and moral legitimacy of colonialism itself was thrown into question before the highest judicial body in Britain, the House of Lords. The fact that the prosecution was led by Edmund Burke, one of the most articulate and prescient political statesman of modern Europe, has only added to the trial's enduring significance as a moment of critical reflection on colonial practices. Indeed, it could be argued that it was on this occasion, and in this act of defending the rights of an alien population against coercive colonial rule, that some of Burke's long-held political and ethical convictions found their clearest expression.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article focuses on performing artists at the court of Maharaja Ranjit Singh (r. 1801–39), the last fully sovereign ruler of the Punjab and leader of what is termed the Sikh empire. After Ranjit's death, his successors ruled for a mere decade before British annexation in 1849. Ranjit Singh's kingdom has been studied for the extraordinary authority it exercised over warring Sikh factions and for the strong challenge it posed to political rivals like the British. Scholarly exploration of cultural efflorescence at the Lahore court has ignored the role of performing artistes, despite a preponderance of references to them in both Persian chronicles of the Lahore court and in European travelogues of the time. I demonstrate how Ranjit Singh was partial to musicians and dancers as a class, even marrying two Muslim courtesans in the face of stiff Sikh orthodoxy. A particular focus is on Ranjit's corps of ‘Amazons’—female dancers performing martial feats dressed as men—the cynosure of all eyes, especially male European, and their significance in representing the martial glory of the Sikh state. Finally, I evaluate the curious cultural misunderstandings that arose when English ‘dancing’ encountered Indian ‘nautching’, revealing how gender was the primary axis around which Indian and European male statesmen alike expressed their power. Ubiquitous in the daily routine of Ranjit and the lavish entertainments set up for visitors, musicians and female performers lay at the interstices of the Indo-European encounter, and Anglo-Sikh interactions in particular.

Full textAbstract:
The Timurid statesman and poet ʿAlī Shīr Navāʾī (d. 906/1501) was the author of the first biographical dictionary (taẕkira) of Sufi saints to be written in the Central Asian dialect of Chaghatay Turkic. Although he started it as a translation of Nafaḥāt al-uns by Jāmī, he expanded upon that work by including many saints from Khurasan, India, and Turkestan. Of particular note are his entries for a clutch of Sufis associated with Aḥmad Yasavī, whom he described as the mashāʾīkh-i turk—the Turkish shaykhs. This was the first substantial overview of these saints in hagiographical literature, even though they had been active since the seventh/thirteenth century. The problem for historians is that Navāʾī supplies little by way of chronology for these saints, nor does he provide a clear indication of his sources. The problem for scholars of Sufism is that he provides little information on issues of doctrine or praxis. What is significant about this survey is its emphasis on the importance of hereditary descent among the shaykhs, suggesting that what was key to uniting them was not an institutional framework, but one of common genealogies from one of the immediate successors of Aḥmad Yasavī.

Full textAbstract:
Democracy seems torn between the ideal search for harmony and unity and the reality of polarizing differences and injustices. Harsh criticism both seems a useful response to societal problems and appears to undermine the search for this ideal of unity. This article engages Bhimrao Ambedkar, the Indian statesman and anti-caste philosopher, to explore this tension in democratic rhetoric. By placing his harsh critique of Hinduism in Riddles in Hinduism in conversation with his crafting of fraternity and love as ideals in The Buddha and His Dhamma, we can perceive the tense dialectic between the democratic injunction to seek community with opponents and the very human impulse to harshly criticize those perpetuating injustice. Analyzing archival drafts of his work that capture his processes of revision and invention, I extract a sense of tentative critique as an entailed form of Ambedkar’s reconstructive rhetoric. Such a tentative rhetorical style reduces the tensions between loving one’s enemies and harshly criticizing one’s opponents by introducing ways to lessen the impact of excessive critique, showing Ambedkar’s potential as an innovative thinker in the global history of rhetoric.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, the situation with the Russian language presence in the CIS and foreign countries has changed. Statesmen of range of former Soviet republics in their plans to involve schoolchildren and students in further development of relations with Russia and encourage the use, the Russian language in their work, consider the possibility of the labor market expansion, closer cooperation in the sphere of education in Russian largest universities, and of science partnership with Russian scientific institutions. Europe, Asia and Africa face an increase in interest in the studying of the Russian language. Homever, its position declines in some countries, for example in Germany. Russian was a compulsory course in public schools of former socialist countries till 1990, but after the collapse of the socialist system, their governments abandoned this practice. But in recent years Russian language is gaining popularity among students, for example, in Poland and the Czech Republic. The Chinese, South Koreans and the Indian people also show interest in studying Russian language, literature and culture. En Africa Russian is spoken by the graduates of Russian universities and people who worked with Russian partners. Due to positive changes in the Russian economy, its business relations with foreign partners, and the need to communicate in Russian when working together, there is some increase in the number of foreigners who choose to study the Russian language. En addition, this is often associated with the desire to learn Russian language in order to embrace national Russian values.

Full textAbstract:
Around the time Marcia Siegel's dance writing career began, an important predecessor's ended with the death in 1962 of Beryl de Zoete, critic and ethnologist. Of Dutch descent, de Zoete was born in London in 1879 into a family of brokers whose name still figures prominently on the British stock exchange. Traveling independently, using her gifts for meeting people and learning languages, she wrote three unprecedented ethnographies, beginning with the book she produced with Walter Spies, Dance and Drama in Bali (1938), and followed by The Other Mind: A Study of Dance in South India (1953) and Dance and Magic Drama in Ceylon (1957). From the late 1920s through the mid-1950s, de Zoete also published many articles on her encounters with European dance and music, and her reviews of performances and books appeared regularly in newspapers, most notably in the influential weekly New Statesman and Nation. After she died, her friend Arthur Waley completed her planned collection of short pieces, The Thunder and the Freshness (1963), titled after poet John Keats's description of a waterfall. This image evoked, for her, the sound of dance drumming before dawn.In this talk, I sketch de Zoete's life and begin to think about how she worked as a writer. As part of my doctoral research, I investigated her connections with Dalcroze Eurhythmies, which teaches music through movement and improvisation. I also draw on previous work by Margaret Dale, who remembers de Zoete's visits to Sadler's Wells Ballet rehearsals in the 1940s and later consulted her about presenting Sinhalese dance on BBC television.

Full textAbstract:
The author makes a reserch of the structure of Rus society on the basis of vedic law.
 We have lack of written data about Rus before Christianity. On this basis many scientists, especially foreign, affirm that Rus before Christianity was a wild country: no state, no law, no writing, no religion. But such statesments are fals. Before Christianity Rus had vedic religion, as most of the countries in Europe and Asia. Basic features of state, law, structure of society, rights and responsibilities of individuals were established by vedas. Vedas as the sacred books defined main features of ancient Rus society, that was highly developed.
 These statements are confirmed by many sources. Many evidences of vedic culture still exist in modern Ukraine. The names of ukrainian cossacs, as the names of modern Ukrainians show, that the ancestors of ukrainian people recognised the devision of society on the same four varnas, as in India. Rus people worshiped vedic Gods: Surya, Indra, Vishnu, Krishna and other. One of the ancient slavonic Gods is named Kolodiy. That is also the name of one of the biggest ukrainian holiday. It has the same roots as the biggest modern holiday in India — Holi (we can compare Kolodiy — Holi — and english “Holiday”).
 Modern history says, that slavonic people, as the other people of Europe, used to live on the same place and their main activity was agriculture. Their enemies were nomades of asian origin, that lived in steppes. But this concept of the war between europeans as the habitants of the woods and asians as the habitants of steppes is artificial and fals. It was constructed by historians of XIX century. The falsity of this concept was proved by soviet scientists. It is interesting to admit, that scientists of moden Ukraine consider that false historian conceptions were developed by the government of Russian Empire. On one hand, this is true. But on the other hand, the same concepts dominate in Great Britain and other countries.
 The author claims, that Rus society, as the society of scythians, was devided on varnas according to vedic law. The lower varna lived in woods and their main main activity was agriculture. The higher varna lived as nomades in steppes and grazed the cattle. Also the people of higher varna were warriors. Rus people choosed their kings only among these people. The highest varna was vedic priests — the volhvy.
 The author also claims, that the knowledge of varna—casta devision of society has high methodological value for the science of history of law and state. The correct understanding of the development of the state, law and political history of Rus, as the other countries of Europe and Asia, is impossible without understanding of the role of this factor.

The exchange – between the South African archivist, poet and social historian MK Jeffreys and the Indian statesmen and scholars VS Srinivasa Sastri and P Kodanda Rao – is read as forming part of a larger web of personal and political relations and textual traffic that contributed to the production of Indian Ocean public spheres. Through engagement with this particular case study, the article seeks to contribute to the scholarly turn from explorations of relations between ‘centre’ and ‘periphery’ or along a North-South axis toward elaborating those engaging South-South connections within the Indian Ocean arena.

These were not the self-congratulatory comparisons of earlier decades, but serious comparative studies aimed at learning practical lessons from Rome's successes and failures. To gain a clearer picture of the significance of these analogies and how they were used, the Indian Civil Service (ICS) examination papers from the same period are analysed. It is argued that, following a move in 1892 to make the ICS a fully graduate service, the Civil Service commissioners showed a sustained interest in asking candidates to compare India (and the wider British empire) with the empires of Rome and Greece. Rome was considered particularly relevant for the directly ruled parts of the empire, with a focus on provincial administration and frontier defence, while Athens was preferred for questions of colonial federation. In the final section, the spread of subjects and weighting of marks within the examination are considered. It is argued that a series of changes post-1892 were designed to favour candidates who had studied Classics at university enabling them to obtain a higher proportion of the overall marks than those specializing in other subjects.
