Krishna Gana Sabha’s Natya Kala Conference: Forty years and still going strong

Dancer and scholar Padma Subrahmanyam vividly recalls that morning in the first week of November, 1981. The weather was somewhat similar to what it is now in Chennai, the air, unarguably cleaner and the traffic, a breeze. Padhukka, as she is popularly known in the world of Indian classical performing arts, had just returned to her home in Chennai, after a week-long workshop on the Natyashastra at…

 India's Foreign Affairs Minister accused Canada of welcoming criminals from his country in response to the RCMP's recent arrests in a homicide that has roiled tensions between the two countries. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar also called Ottawa the No. 1 driver of what he described as a violent movement of Sikhs trying to carve their own country out of India. "It's not so much a problem in the U.S.; our biggest problem right now is in Canada," Jaishankar said Saturday during remarks at a forum for intellectuals in India. RCMP charged three Indian nationals last Friday in the death of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was shot dead last June as he left a temple in Surrey, B.C.

As someone studying history for my major, I'm so tired of people talking shit like, "mughals are colonisers"

People can be clueless about a dynasty from 16th century, but before commenting value-laden terms like colonisation please read up. And not just random articles floating on the internet, real books, real articles, real work by academicians. Coincidently, most people who talk shit like this are fascists, right-wingers hindu nationalists whose thinly veiled Islamophobia is more telling than not. They perceive all Muslims as "the other", and if you ask them they'd say they'd learn it from "primary sources". They never cite any primary sources by the way, although I suppose they would be referring to "Maasir i alamgiri" or the imperialist Eliot and Dowson series (the later is ironically in fact not a primary source but translated, many times incorrectly, excerpts of primary sources) all without understanding the rhetoric or historical consciousness or literally anything. They have never read Akbarnama or Ain i Akbari, they don't know about any primary sources in language other than Persian. They don't know or care about non-official contemporary sources, they don't know about inscriptions, they don't know how to extract information from the primary sources itself. But if you try to tell them they would automatically pull up random internet article with obvious propaganda and least historical consciousness. They have no idea what rhetoric is, what historiography is, what historical distance is. And how can they? They belittle actual historians, students, researchers, people who have spent years studying this niche of academia.

Speaking to them is like talking to the walls, but for those who wish to learn more on the Mughals I'll leave a few readings:

The Mughal State (1526-1750) : Muzaffar Alam and Sanjay Subrahmanyam

Formation of the Mughal Empire: Douglas Streusand

The Mughals of India: Harbans Mukhia

I've picked out the easiest readings, considering that people are of course living in a fast-moving world, for a quick read, the Introduction of The Mughal State and Formation of the Mughal Empire are great, and the 1st chapter of The Mughals of India. All three are available in lib.gen. If someone wishes to dive deeper, to read the official court chronicles, some like Ain i Akbari, Akbarnama, Jahangirnama etc are all available in archive.org.

Rumors about Crown Prince Angelo are stirring intrigue across the political landscape, where his apparent mystique and behind-the-scenes influence spark widespread speculation. While many political leaders claim not to have seen or met him, stories about his possible role in strategic affairs—often involving multi-ethnic diplomacy and covert alliances—are gaining traction. Here are some of the main rumors circulating:

Strategic Advisor in Global Affairs: Some claim Crown Prince Angelo is acting as a quiet advisor to influential world leaders, offering insights on matters like debt relief, counter-corruption efforts, and governance reforms. His alleged connections with various royal families and advisors, such as Dominique de Villepin, suggest he may be shaping policies from behind the scenes.

Master of Financial Secrecy: Rumors suggest that Crown Prince Angelo holds vast knowledge of international finance, potentially collaborating with high-profile figures to protect royal family assets. The secrecy surrounding his involvement is said to add to his mystique, especially with mentions of his advising financial representatives from countries like France and India.

Architect of a Cosmopolitan Haven in Somalia: There’s a belief that Crown Prince Angelo is planning to build a cosmopolitan city in Somalia—a multicultural, multi-ethnic hub with religious freedom and cultural diversity. This ambitious project is rumored to be part of a broader plan to create a sanctuary for persecuted individuals and unite various cultural influences under a Somali monarchy.

Enigmatic but Influential Monarch in Waiting: Political circles buzz with rumors that Angelo, despite his minimal public appearances, is the future ruler of Somalia, possibly a Sultan. His current low profile is seen as a strategic choice to maintain stability until the time is right, after which he’ll step into the limelight as a figurehead for reform in the region.

Unconventional Tactics in the Information Age: Some suspect that Crown Prince Angelo uses unconventional communication tactics, like anonymous blogging and cryptic social media posts, to maintain secrecy. There’s talk that he uses AI to manage his online presence, possibly masking his identity and distributing messages across multiple personas to influence public opinion subtly.

An "Invisible" Power with a Digital Legacy: The political world is abuzz about Angelo’s seeming invisibility on mainstream digital platforms like Google. This lack of presence is either seen as a testament to his skill in avoiding modern surveillance or as a deliberate choice to prevent external influences from controlling his narrative.

Alliance with Influential Figures in Entertainment: Speculation runs high about Crown Prince Angelo's ties to Hollywood personalities, possibly securing global visibility and a support base in the entertainment industry. Rumors suggest alliances with stars like Salma Hayek and Charlize Theron, each potentially collaborating to boost his influence in subtle but powerful ways.

Though tangible details remain elusive, these rumors are gaining momentum, making Crown Prince Angelo both a source of fascination and speculation across political and diplomatic circles worldwide.

Empires Between Islam and Christianity, 1500-1800

'Empire' is a common concept in the field of world history. Historians often specialize in one specific empire, such as the British Empire, the Russian Empire, or the Chinese dynasties. Going beyond this unidirectional approach, Sanjay Subrahmanyam, Distinguished Professor of History & Irving and Jean Stone Endowed Chair in Social Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles, suggests an insightful 'inter-empire' lens. In Empires Between Islam and Christianity, 1500-1800, Subrahmanyam uses the Portuguese, Ottoman, Mughal, Habsburg, and British Empires as launching points to derive a global history network that breaks intellectual borders set by stereotypes or exceptionalist thoughts.

NATO is seeking to expand its cooperation structures globally and also intensify its cooperation with Jordan, Indonesia and India. A “NATO-Indonesia meeting” was held yesterday (Wednesday) on the sidelines of the NATO foreign ministers’ meeting in Brussels – a follow-up to talks between Indonesia’s Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in mid-June 2022. Last week, a senior NATO official visited Jordan’s capital Amman to promote the establishment of a NATO liaison office. Already back in June, a US Congressional Committee focused on China, had advocated linking India more closely to NATO. India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, however, quickly rejected the suggestion. NATO diplomats are quoted saying that the Western military alliance could conceive of cooperating with South Africa or Brazil, for example. These plans would escalate the West’s power struggle against Russia and China, while non-Western alliances such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) are expanding their membership.

Already since some time, NATO has been seeking to expand its cooperation structures into the Asia-Pacific region, for example to include Japan. Early this year, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg was in Tokyo, among other things, to sign a joint declaration with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.[1] In addition, it is strengthening its cooperation with South Korea, whose armed forces are participating in NATO cyber defense and are to be involved more intensively in future conventional NATO maneuvers.[2] Japan’s prime minster and South Korea’s president have already regularly attended NATO summits. The Western military alliance is also extending its cooperation with Australia and New Zealand. This development is not without its contradictions. France, for example, opposes the plan to establish a NATO liaison office in Japan, because it considers itself an important Pacific power and does not want NATO’s influence to excessively expand in the Pacific. Nevertheless, the Western military alliance is strengthening its presence in the Asia-Pacific region – with maneuvers conducted by its member states, including Germany (german-foreign-policy.com reported.[3]).[...]

NATO has been cooperating with several Mediterranean countries since 1994 within the framework of its Mediterranean Dialogue and also since 1994, with several Arab Gulf countries as part of its Istanbul Cooperation Initiative.[4] However, the cooperation is not considered very intensive. At the beginning of this week, NATO diplomats have been quoted saying “we remain acutely aware of developments on our southern flank,” and are planning appropriate measures. The possibility of establishing a Liaison Office in Jordan is being explored “as a move to get closer to the ground and develop the relationship in the Middle East.[5] Last week, a senior NATO official visited Jordan’s capital Amman to promote such a liaison office.[6][...]

NATO diplomats informed the online platform “Euractiv” that “many members of the Western military alliance believe that political dialogue does not have to be limited to the southern neighborhood. One can also seek cooperation with states further away. Brazil, South Africa, India, and Indonesia are mentioned as examples.[7][...]

In a paper containing strategic proposals for the U.S. power struggle against China, the Committee also advocated strengthening NATO’s cooperation with India.[8] The proposal caused a stir in the run-up to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Washington on June 22. He was able to draw on the fact that India is cooperating militarily in the Quad format with the USA as well as NATO partners Japan and Australia in order to gain leverage against China. Close NATO ties could also facilitate intelligence sharing, allowing New Delhi to access advanced military technology.[9] India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, however, rejected Washington’s proposal, stating that the “NATO template does not apply to India”.[10] Indian media explained that New Delhi was still not prepared to be pitted against Russia and to limit its independence.[11] Both would be entailed in close ties to NATO.

The efforts to link third countries around the world more closely to NATO are being undertaken at a time when not only western countries are escalating their power struggles against Russia and above all against China and are therefore tightening their alliance structures. They are also taking place when non-Western alliances are gaining ground. This is true not only for the BRICS, which decided, in August, to admit six new members on January 1, 2024 (german-foreign-policy.com reported [12]). This is also true for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a security alliance centered around Moscow and Beijing that has grown from its original six to currently nine members, including India, Pakistan and Iran, and continues to attract new interested countries. In addition to several countries in Southern Asia and the South Caucasus, SCO “dialogue partners” now include Turkey, Egypt and five Arabian Peninsula states, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. Iin light of the BRICS expansion, the admission of additional countries as full SCO members is considered quite conceivable. Western dominance will thus be progressively weakened.[13]
