Using the case of the transformat ion of a formerly lower caste of potters into an important mercantile grou p in Pakistani Punjab\, the speaker argues how changes in caste relations manifest themselves as processes of cultural change occurring at an everyd ay level.

But closing the “gap” between policy makers and people is not straightforward. An experimental initiative in Bangladesh kn own as the “reality check” attempted to influence policy makers in the health and education sectors by providing them with 'light touch' ethnogr aphic data about how ongoing reforms were experienced at community level o ver a five year period. The case is analyzed through a lens of a “method ological populism” and while it achieved only limited traction with poli cy makers it generated important questions about what can be considered as acceptable evidence for policy.\n\n\nSpeakers:\nDavid Lewis (LSE) LOCATION:Ashmolean Museum (Headley Lecture Theatre)\, Beaumont Street OX1 2PH TZID:Europe/London URL:https://new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/72aa34a4-d293-4c27-a19f-94b310dad6 34/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Peopling Policy Processes?

This book draws attention to the continuing relevance of local politi cs in influencing public policy\, through a study of labour market reforms .\nDrawing on evidence from states of Gujarat\, Maharashtra\, Andhra Prade sh\, and West Bengal in India\, this book shows that despite pressures of policy convergence\, labour reforms vary across states\, depending on part isan governments\, dynamics of interest group negotiations\, and party com petition.\nUsing both qualitative and quantitative evidence\, the book arg ues that “who governs” matters for how globalization unfolds in any so ciety and that public policies continue to be nuanced\, if not shaped\, by politics.\n\nZaad Mahmood’s research focuses on political economy of re forms\, public policy\, labour politics\, elections and politics in India. He has written the book\, Globalisation and Labour reforms: the politics of interest groups and partisan governments that looks at the political va riables responsible for policy divergences. His more recent work has been on changing dynamics of collective bargaining and state behaviour in Indus trial relations based on the case study of West Bengal\, India. He has pub lished number of journal articles in Business and Politics\, Industrial La w Journal\, Indian Journal of Industrial Relations\, Journal of South Asia n Development.

The presenters will show how recent scholarship has sought to open up Lanka as a space across which Indian Ocean and even glo bal currents moved and intermingled and also to use the island as a test c ase for thinking through larger debates and conceptual issues relevant to historians of Asia. In particular\, a major concept both deployed and crit iqued by the authors – working in periods ranging from the archaeology o f the first millennium BCE to the nineteenth century – is that of cosmop olitanism.\n\nAfter introducing the book\, each presenter will speak about their particular contribution. Alan Strathern will speak about the role o f ethnicity and providentialism in Lankan history\, engaging the work of S heldon Pollock and the fundamental contrasts he has drawn between Indic an d European forms of identity creation. Zoltán Biedermann will explore the history of Lankan exiles who\, from early times\, used the possibility of displacement to South India as a means to further local political project s. The question arises to what extent it is legitimate to theorize the cul ture of exile as cosmopolitan when it cohabited with various forms of coer cion\, especially during the early colonial period.\nSpeakers:\nZoltán Bi edermann (University College London)\, Alan Strathern (Brasenose) LOCATION:Ashmolean Museum (Headley Lecture Theatre)\, Beaumont Street OX1 2PH TZID:Europe/London URL:https://new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/315a56de-84a4-4878-99b7-9e87b98ee8 00/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Querying the Cosmopolitan in Sri Lankan and Indian Ocean History - Zoltán Biedermann (University College London)\, Alan Strathern (Brasenose) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Farmers Matter in New India but not the Same Way: Political Settle ment\, Discontinuous Agrarian Policy and Class-Formations - Sejuti Das Gup ta (James Madison) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180306T140000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180306T153000Z UID:https://new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/38460382-1504-4ea7-a3f9-30a3a1a226 be/ DESCRIPTION:\nSpeakers:\nSejuti Das Gupta (James Madison) LOCATION:Ashmolean Museum (Headley Lecture Theatre)\, Beaumont Street OX1 2PH TZID:Europe/London URL:https://new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/38460382-1504-4ea7-a3f9-30a3a1a226 be/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Farmers Matter in New India but not the Same Way: Politic al Settlement\, Discontinuous Agrarian Policy and Class-Formations - Sejut i Das Gupta (James Madison) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Money\, Enticements\, Modernity: Indian Elite Women between Anxiet y and Privilege - Parul Bhandari (Centre of Social Sciences and Humanities ) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180227T140000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180227T153000Z UID:https://new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/705f4ca6-c53d-4179-b395-08e0fff125 88/ DESCRIPTION:\nSpeakers:\nParul Bhandari (Centre of Social Sciences and Hum anities) LOCATION:Ashmolean Museum (Headley Lecture Theatre)\, Beaumont Street OX1 2PH TZID:Europe/London URL:https://new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/705f4ca6-c53d-4179-b395-08e0fff125 88/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Money\, Enticements\, Modernity: Indian Elite Women betwe en Anxiety and Privilege - Parul Bhandari (Centre of Social Sciences and H umanities) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:My Enemy's Enemy: India in Afghanistan from the Soviet Invasion to the US Withdrawal - Avinash Paliwal (School of Oriental and African Studi es\, London) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180220T140000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180220T153000Z UID:https://new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/6ea79b73-3b4a-462a-a4c9-058cd021f3 69/ DESCRIPTION:The archetype of ‘my enemy’s enemy is my friend’\, India ’s political and economic presence in Afghanistan is often viewed as a M achiavellian ploy aimed against Pakistan. The first of its kind\, this boo k interrogates that simplistic yet powerful geopolitical narrative and ask s what truly drives India’s Afghanistan policy. Based on an extensive re pertoire of hitherto untapped primary sources including official memoranda \, diplomatic correspondence\, and a series of interviews with key politic al actors\, My Enemy’s Enemy provides a comprehensive analysis of India ’s strategy debates and foreign policymaking processes vis-à-vis Afghan istan\, from the embers of the Cold War to the 1990s Afghan civil war and the more recent U.S.-led war on terror. It demonstrates that Indian presen ce in Afghanistan has been guided primarily by an enduring vision for the region that requires a stable balance of power across the Durand Line.\nSp eakers:\nAvinash Paliwal (School of Oriental and African Studies\, London) LOCATION:Ashmolean Museum (Headley Lecture Theatre)\, Beaumont Street OX1 2PH TZID:Europe/London URL:https://new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/6ea79b73-3b4a-462a-a4c9-058cd021f3 69/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:My Enemy's Enemy: India in Afghanistan from the Soviet In vasion to the US Withdrawal - Avinash Paliwal (School of Oriental and Afri can Studies\, London) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Ambivalence\, Ambiguity and Alienation: Making Sense of 'Tension' in North India - Raphael Susewind (King's College London) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180213T140000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180213T153000Z UID:https://new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/4b9a331e-689f-4d25-ae30-fc0c173539 e3/ DESCRIPTION:How can we understand 'tension'\, the experience of rigidity t hat often underpins systemic structures of domination\, epistemic violence as well as physical aggression in South Asia? Following Zygmunt Bauman\, I want to suggest that 'tension' is the outcome of an overzealous pursuit of moral and categorical clarity which alienates us from the ambiguity of lived experience. At some point\, alienation becomes so gross and the aspi ration for clarity thus so untenable that it breaks down into ambivalence\ , and then violence. Deviating from Bauman and others\, I however propose a heuristic vocabulary that distinguishes more clearly between ambivalence and ambiguity\, building on ethnography of religion\, gender and aggressi on in North India.\nSpeakers:\nRaphael Susewind (King's College London) LOCATION:Ashmolean Museum (Headley Lecture Theatre)\, Beaumont Street OX1 2PH TZID:Europe/London URL:https://new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/4b9a331e-689f-4d25-ae30-fc0c173539 e3/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Ambivalence\, Ambiguity and Alienation: Making Sense of ' Tension' in North India - Raphael Susewind (King's College London) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Subaltern Counter-Publics: Dalits and Missionary Christianity in K erala - Sanal Mohan (Mahatma Gandhi Universit) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180116T140000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180116T153000Z UID:https://new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/52eb56e9-6f33-4d20-8843-11e30b6b8c 7a/ DESCRIPTION:Missionary Christianity in Kerala\, contrary to the received n otions in social sciences\, offered a new language of internal deliberatio ns to Dalits and provided them agency different from their position in the traditional caste society. The exclusive congregations of Dalits in fact worked as a ‘subaltern counter publics’ offering them new ideas and so cial practices. It was in this context that ideas of salvation and liberat ion became significant categories of thought to engage with the caste soci ety and structures of oppression. In the proposed paper the speaker wishes to explore the myriad ways in which Dalits productively engaged with Chri stianity and transformed themselves. This enables a critique of the instr umentalist interpretation of the Dalit Christianity offered by a dominant section of the historians and social anthropologists writing on Dalits and Christianity in Kerala and India.\n\n\nSpeakers:\nSanal Mohan (Mahatma Ga ndhi Universit) LOCATION:Ashmolean Museum (Headley Lecture Theatre)\, Beaumont Street OX1 2PH TZID:Europe/London URL:https://new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/52eb56e9-6f33-4d20-8843-11e30b6b8c 7a/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Subaltern Counter-Publics: Dalits and Missionary Christia nity in Kerala - Sanal Mohan (Mahatma Gandhi Universit) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Violence\, Rents and Investment: Explaining Growth Divergence in S outh Asia - Adnan Naseemullah (King's College London) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180130T140000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180130T153000Z UID:https://new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/eb1536e0-c067-4c54-94c5-ad1125be1d 31/ DESCRIPTION:Why have growth rates have dramatically diverged between India and Pakistan since the 1990s\, when their economic and political institut ions have increasingly converged? This paper argues that differences in pe rceptions of instability among the Indian and Pakistani bourgeoisie\, thro ugh the salience of political violence\, has led to significant difference s in economic growth since the 1990s. In Pakistan\, kidnapping and terrori st violence in major cities has led to the domination of rent-implicated i nvestment as a form of managing risk\, thus limiting growth. In India\, by contrast\, political violence remains socially distant to the perspective s of investors\, leading to a balance between rent-implicated and more pro ductive investment\, and thus higher overall growth. The paper thus provid es a new set of explanations for differences in growth among middle income countries by highlighting political instability and the salience of viole nce\, the demand for rent-implicated investments and the limits of institu tional explanations for growth outcomes.\nSpeakers:\nAdnan Naseemullah (Ki ng's College London) LOCATION:Ashmolean Museum (Headley Lecture Theatre)\, Beaumont Street OX1 2PH TZID:Europe/London URL:https://new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/eb1536e0-c067-4c54-94c5-ad1125be1d 31/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Violence\, Rents and Investment: Explaining Growth Diverg ence in South Asia - Adnan Naseemullah (King's College London) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The Rohingya Exodus: Orchestrated Violence and Strategies of Survi va - Shapan Adnan DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180123T140000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180123T153000Z UID:https://new.talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/bcf5c9dc-89da-4c01-91cf-e7d8e69cc5 20/ DESCRIPTION:The Rohingyas violently expelled by Myanmar are not recognized as international refugees by Bangladesh.

Using a novel methodology\, I show that de fa cto deals rather than de jure rules characterise the business-state relati onship in Indian states and more deal making is prevalent in states with w eak capacity. I argue that reforms initiatives to increase the ease of doi ng business in India is unlikely to succeed when deals rather than rules c haracterise investment decisions and when state capacity is weak and prone to capture by the business sector.\n\nKunal Sen is Professor of Developme nt Economics in the Global Development Institute\, University of Mancheste r\, UK\, and Joint Research Director of the DFID-UK funded Effective State s and Inclusive Development (ESID) Research Centre.

The analysis shows the tight correspondence betwe en the physical and social materiality of garment production in India\; it illustrates the great social differentiation and complex patterns of labo ur unfreedom at work in the industry\; and it depicts the sweatshop as a c omplex joint enterprise against the labouring body\, which is systematical ly and inexorably depleted and consumed by garment work\, even in the abse nce of major industrial disasters\, like Rana Plaza.

Writing in Arabic\, the scribes from Malabar categorised this period as the Age of Fasad (social disorder) and advocated for ‘valour’ as the counter strategy. However\, by translite rating sufis and prophets\, vernacular scribes in Malabar insisted on the emotion of ‘piety’ for recreating the glory of the bygone Islamic past \, as the fasad situation continued. This paper examines this textual/ lyr ical transition- from Arabic valour texts to Arabi-Malayalam pietistic poe try- when a large number of Muslims began moving away from maritime towns to settle down in agrarian hinterland.\n\nP K Yasser Arafath is Assistant Professor in the Department of History\, Delhi University.

The role of scribes as historical actors of change in India's history has only recently been explored. This talk will examine how the formation of early agrarian reven ue settlements exacerbated late Mughal patterns in taxation\, and how the colonial state was shaped by this extant paper-oriented revenue culture an d its scribes. It proceeds to examine how the service and cultural histori es of various Hindu scribal communities fit within broader changes in poli tical administration\, taxation and patterns of governance\, arguing that British power after the late eighteenth century came as much through burea ucratic mastery\, paper and taxes as it did through military force and com mercial ruthlessness. In particular\, this paper explores the cultural and service experiences of various Kayastha scribes and how they fit within t he transitional period of the mid-late 18th century between late Mughal an d early colonial rule. \n\nHayden J.
