Speaker: Prof. Burawoy
Title: Sociology and the fate of society
Abstract:
If the standpoint of economics is the market and its
expansion, and the standpoint of political science is the state
and the guarantee of political stability, then the standpoint
of sociology is civil society and the defense of the social. In
this period of third-wave marketization the collusion of market
tyranny and state despotism threaten the existence of society,
so the interests of sociology (and allied disciplines such as
anthropology), and especially its public face, coincide with those
of humanity. In this talk I explicate this argument historically
and globally with reference to research in South Africa, Russia
and United States.

Wednesday Talk
Speaker: Professor Tim Poston
Topic: Trackless Changes: Joint Authoring and
DNA
Abstract:
How do we work together to write a paper? A contract?
A business plan? Success has many fathers, and so does the typical
modern document: many, scattered authors write it, between them.
'Track Changes' helps when two authors play 'draft ping-pong',
taking turns, but how do turns work with multiple authors? Automated
merging creates a hard-to-edit mess. When you have a folder full
of versions, which do you need look at? Most humans cannot use
most 'version control' software designed for programmers (many
programmers cannot or do not use it themselves!), so software
should work out on its own which version derives from which, let
you know which differences are new, and present them in a clear
way. How should it do that? Learn from the people who derive descent
diagrams from DNA sequences, and apply their string comparison
algorithms to text. Show the changes within a paragraph, even
when it has moved. Rethink how to show text, with context clear
at many levels. To deliver all this needs a company, investors,
flexible people to work on code and interface design - all now
in place - and trial users, from many fields, for early free versions.
(It probably won't be much help in song writing.)

Talk organised by the School of Natural and Engineering Sciences,
NIAS
Speaker: Prof Jean Taylor, Courant Institute, U S A
Title: The Art and Science of Soap Bubbles
Abstract:
We have an endless fascination with the beauty of soap bubbles.
Children play with them, painters paint them, photographers
photograph them,writers write about them. Public lectures and
demonstrations have a long tradition, at least since C.V. Boys
a
hundred years ago and continuing to this day. This aesthetic tradition
is paralleled by a glorious tradition of scientific and mathematical
research, including work by Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, James
Clerk Maxwell, J. Willard Gibbs, Jesse Douglas (one of the first
Fields medalists), and Richard Courant (for whom the Courant Institute
is named). Prof. Taylor
proved the central fact that Plateau's rules are true, using Geometric
Meaure Theory.Research on soap bubble clusters continues to this
day, with many open problems.
About the speaker:
Jean Taylor received her A.B. in chemistry from Mount Holyoke
College in 1966, graduating first in her class. She returned to
California, her home state, to enter the Ph.D. program in chemistry
at the University of California at Berkeley. Encouraged by some
friends in the university hiking club, however, she also audited
a course in differential geometry, loved it, and switched to mathematics.
She received her Ph.D. in 1973 under the supervision of Frederick
J. Almgren, Jr, in the area of Geometric Measure Therory. Shortly
thereafter, she proved Plateau's rules for soap films. Taylor
has been described as an "experimental
mathematician" who does experiments as a motivation for ideas,
but then tries to prove that what she sees is what you have to
get. Her research has included interdisciplinary, joint work with
materials scientists. She has been elected a Fellow of the American
Academy of Arts and Science, the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, and the Association for Women in Science.She
is currently a Trustee of the American Mathematical Society and
has been President of the Association for Women in Mathematics.

Wednesday Talk
Speaker: David Sims, Professor of Organizational
Behaviour, Associate Dean, and Director, Centre for Leadership,
Learning and Change. Cass Business School, London.
Topic: The Leader behind the Leader: The place
of low visibility leaders in enabling leadership to happen
Abstract
This presentation examines the link between leadership as a role
and leadership as an activity. The leadership tradition in much
of the literature and particularly in the very lucrative and rather
uncritical leadership training industry, has always tended to
emphasis the activities and achievements of individual leaders.
Thus research has focused on individuals, and training has been
offered to individuals. Both of these make sense only if leadership
is done by individuals.
Now let us make the opposite assumption that leadership is an
activity conducted by a group. In order to achieve leadership
collaborative effort is required from several different members
of the group. Their contributions will be quite different from
each
other, and the leadership effort will fail without all those different
kinds of contribution. This seems to be the reason why leadership
research and training, despite its enormous volume, has produced
so little progress so far.
In this presentation I will argue for the importance of a contributive
model of leadership and discuss how it might change the
agenda for research in the area, and what the practical consequences
would be of taking this model of leadership seriously.
About the Speaker
David Sims is Professor of Organisational Behaviour, Cass Business
School, City University, London, Associate Dean, and Director
of the Centre for Leadership, Learning and Change. He has an academic
background in operational research and organizational behaviour,

Students' colloquium
Speaker: Anu Joy
Title: Children's Understanding of Scientific
Concepts
Abstract
The view that knowledge cannot be transmitted but must
be constructed by the mental activity of learners underpins contemporary
perspectives on science education. My PhD research work investigates
how children develop scientific concepts from the
science classroom and from various sources outside the classroom.
The theoretical framework of the study is drawn from the social
constructivist approach of Vygotskian tradition. The research
employs a learner-centered focus and a cognitive ethnographic
approach to explore children's scientific concepts.

Speaker: Ms Leena Pascal & Mr Kishor Bhat
Chairperson: Dr M G Narasimhan
Abstract:
Art has always been a way of representing the world that we see
around us. In doing so, we make use of our perspective. This is
a very powerful theme in geometry, and it is not surprising that
the art and geometry come together in many respects. In this talk,
we will discuss perspective and the mathematics of perspective.
We will focus on the genre of Anamorphic art, which is a type
of painting where objects only come into focus when viewed from
a specific angle or station point.

Speaker: Prof Rachel Schurman, Department of
Sociology, University of Minnesota, USA
Topic: Chain (Re)Actions: Comparing Activist
Mobilization Against Agricultural Biotechnology in the UK and
US
Chairperson: Dr Carol Upadhya
Abstract:
Recently, there has been a surge of interest in the way in which
social movements are influencing corporate behavior and market
structures. In this paper, we seek to push this understanding
further by taking a global commodity chain (GCC) approach to analyzing
the differential efficacy of two very similar social movements:
the anti-GMO food movement in Britain, which effectively
closed European markets to genetically modified food in the 1990s,
and its sister movement in the US, which had little effect on
market acceptance of the technology. We show how the organization
of the commodity chain for food in Britain and the US, respectively,
created different political openings (and closures) for activists.
Rather than simply engaging in the kind of structural analysis
that is typical of commodity chain approaches, however, we indicate
how the strength and weakness of links in each commodity chain
were shaped by the kinds of social relationships that were established
among networks of social actors, which were in turn profoundly
informed by local cultures of consumption, production, and competition,
as well as different traditions of political engagement and participation.
About the Speaker:
Professor Rachel Schurman received her Master's degree in Economics
from Tufts University, and her doctorate degree in Sociology from
the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has taught at the University
of California-Berkeley, the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign,

biotechnology and the way in which social activism has affected
the life sciences industry, government regulatory policy, and
the trajectory of biotechnology. In 2003, she co-edited a volume,
published by the University of California Press, on the social,
political, economic and legal aspects of biotechnology (Engineering
Trouble: Biotechnology and Its Discontents). Her new book project
is entitled Making Biotech History: How Social Activists Are Changing
the Course of Agricultural Biotechnology. Dr. Schurman teaches
courses on food, culture and society; international political

Title: Securing Lives, Securing Livelihood
Chairperson: Dr M G Narasimhan
Abstract: The social and physical landscapes of Bangalore
have witnessed
palpable changes in recent years, owing to a sudden economic boom.
With this boom, there has been an explosive growth of various
service
sector industries such as private transport, real-estate, security
services etc. Most studies on contemporary Bangalore have focused
on Information Technology/BPO and have tended to overlook other
burgeoning services. In this talk, the speakers share some details
from a preliminary fieldwork conducted on the private security
services. The talk focuses on the phenomenon of increasing
'privatization' of security and the attendant issues of social
polarization, informalization of work and migration.

Abstract: On March 28th this year, the Centre for Civil
Society formally
launched its 'school choice campaign'. This campaign is determined
to take the concept of 'school choice' into all the states across
the
country. This is basically a re-presentation of the 'school
vouchers' which introduces 'competition' in the public schooling
delivery system in particular enables the entry of private
education providers, as a solution for providing quality education
to
the poor. In this talk I will be examining some of the principles
and assumptions of this proposal and examine some of the historical
evidence gathered in other countries regarding its impact on
educational equity.

Time: 10.30 am
Abstract: Ever since a suggestion by Feynman in 1982 that
Quantum systems may provide a new paradigm for computing, there
has been a great excitement in scientific circles. Several Quantum
Algorithms have been proposed which promise exponential or polynomial
speed up over the Classical Algorithms. Several experimental techniques
are being explored to for quantum information processing. Among
them, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has demonstrated largest
progress in terms of number of qubits, preparation of pseudo-pure
states, logic gates and implementation of Algorithms. Our group
has been involved in experimental implementation of these using
liquid state NMR. After a brief general introduction, Some of
the progress made by our group will be highlighted.

Chairperson: Prof A R Vasavi
Topic: A New Paradigm in cancer care: Psycho-oncology.
Abstract: Cancer brings with it tremendous psychological,
emotional and social distress both to the individual and the
family touched by the disease thereby seriously compromising
their quality of life. Research evidence suggests that nearly
3 out of 5 cancer (60%) patients suffer from severe psychological
distress which warrants professional psychological intervention.
This paved the way in 1970s for the emergence of a new science-
the field of Psycho-oncology.
The talk traces the history of this new area of science and
the fascinating scientific evidence of the impact of psychological
factors on and their role in cancer care. Thus, making a case
for evidence based clinical practice and the integration of
psycho-oncology into main stream cancer care. The speaker draws
attention to the Indian scenario and the trails and tribulations
of establishing this field in India and sets a stage for setting
up a centre for the first time in the country: Centre of Psycho-oncology
for Education and Research (COPER), in Bangalore. The centre
is an initiative of Department of Science and Technology (DST)
and is an associate of National Institute of Advanced Studies,
(NIAS), Bangalore.
About the Speaker:
Dr. Brindha Sitaram, Founder-Director of Centre of Psycho-oncology
for Education and Research (COPER), is a Psycho-oncologist.

Abstract:
There is no number which is random. Yet, we speak of 'Random
Numbers' and even use them in various applications such as modeling
of natural phenomena, sampling a large population, optimization
methods,
computer programming, decision making, cryptography, aesthetics
and in recreation (rolling dice, shuffling decks of cards, spinning
roulette wheels etc.). In this talk, we will attempt to introduce
you
to the fascinating world of Random Numbers and discuss specific
methods to 'generate' them. We shall talk about `True' Random
Number Generators and their `Pseudo' counterparts which you
can generate on
a PC (there are also 'Hybrid' ones). Chaos, especially Robust
Chaos seems to be a very good source for generating Random Numbers,
bothTrue and Pseudo ones as we shall demonstrate.

Speaker: Dr S S Meenakshisundaram
Chairperson: Dr Narendar Pani
Abstract:
Ever since Independence all National Governments have attempted
to provide wage employment to unskilled rural labour in one
form or the other. The present Government has enacted the National
Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) as one of the two flagship
programmes (the other being the Right to Information Act). This
programme is under implementation in 200 selected districts
in different parts of India for little over an year by now and
several more districts are gettting added to the list during
the current year. At this stage, it will be worthwhile to assess
the usefulness of this programme both in its content and in
the processes adopted for implementation. In this talk I propose
to quickly summarise the events leading to this enactment, the
experiences reported from the field and a possible way forward.
The intension is to generate a discussion on this as well as
alternate models that can be adopted for rural development in
general and wage employment in particular.

Topic: Primates on the edge
Chairperson: Dr M G Narasimhan
Abstract: The conversion of large tracts of contiguous
forest to smaller patches embedded in a landscape matrix of human-altered
habitats is one of the major causes of the present biodiversity
crisis. Understanding the processes and mechanisms of habitat
fragmentation and its impact on animals and plants is essential
to formulate conservation strategies for the better management
of forest and their wildlife. The landscape of upper Brahmaputra
valley in Assam, has witnessed dramatic changes over last five
decades due to rapid expansion of tea gardens, agriculture fields
and human settlements. Owing to this, large tracts of contiguous
forests have been converted into smaller patches, completely separated
and isolated from one another. Fragmentation of these forests
have severely affected many species of animals and plants including
non-human primates unique to the ecosystem. In this talk, I will
highlight the findings of my study on the effect of forest fragmentation
on the non-human primates in the upper Brahmaputra valley and
propose certain conservation strategies, which could be vital
for the management of endangered
primate species and their habitats in the upper Brahmaputra valley,
of Assam.

Wednesday Talk
Topic: War and Society in Colonial India
Speaker: Dr Chandar S. Sundaram, Ph.D.
Research Fellow, Centre for Armed Forces Historical Research,
United Services Institution of India, New Delhi
Chairperson: Prof S Settar
Abstract:
The British Army in India was one of the main institutions of
the Raj. Besides being the largest employer in British India,
it was primarily responsible for the spread and consolidation
of Britain's Indian Empire. It is important to remember that
Tipu Sultan, the Marathas, the Sikhs, and the sepoy rebels/freedom-fighters
at Delhi, Meerut, and Lucknow were, in the final analysis, not
defeated by trade and/or diplomatic skullduggery, but by armed
force. Early on, armed force emerged as a handmaid to effective
– that is, advantageous to British – trade. In the
aftermath of military victories at Arcot (1751), Plassey (1757),
and Buxar (1764), Company officials and their Gumastahs, regularly
employed sepoy detachments to coerce up-country Indian producers
who held out for higher prices, thus setting up a basis for
the military fiscalism that undergirt the Raj. Indeed, the notion
that an effective armed force was the most important component
in the rise and maintenance of British expansion in India soon
became a cardinal principle of Anglo-Indian ideology and remained
remarkably constant in bothe the Company and Crown phases of
British Rule. The centrality of armed force to the British colonial
"enterprise" in South Asia is further underlined by
the fact that, in 1930, a mere 17 years before India threw off
the colonial yoke, military expenditures accounted for a little
over 60 per cent of the Government of India's budget. Finally,
the emergence of the Indian National Army (INA) – a force
formed from the roughly 45,000 jawans captured by the Japanese
during World War II, whose stated purpose was to wrest India
militarily from British rule – signaled to the British
that their reliance on Indian armed force to maintain their
hold on India was on shaky ground. This was a crucially important
factor in hastening their exit from South Asia in 1947.
For the reasons enumerated above, I feel that research into
the military aspects of colonial India is important if we
are to gain a comprehensive understanding of the way the Raj
operated, and interacted with Indian society. This history
is not the traditional military history, -- concerned with
battles, guns and trumpets – but rather the study of
warfare and warmaking contextualized within the social, cultural,
ideological, and economic aspects of societies. In other words,
it pays more attention to the Annales school than to Clausewitz
or Kautilya, And when it does deal with these military theorists,
it seeks to uncover the societal world view their writings
embodied, and their impact on military institutions, rather
than the effect they had on individual battles or campaigns.
In my talk, I will cover 1. the historiography of war and
society in colonial India; 2. my own research agenda, dealing
with a) the Imperial Cadet Corps and b) mutiny and the military
culture of the late-colonial Indian Army and 3. a brief reading
of a newly completed paper: "What Paul Scott might have
Read: Our Indian Empire and Anglo-Indian Ideology in World
War II"

Wednesday Talk
Topic: Need for a paradigm shift in the study of psychology
Speaker: Prof. Malavika Kapur
Chairperson: Dr Rajesh Kasturirangan
Contemporary psychology seems to have barely emerged out of
Cartesian body- mind dualism and its moorings in western philosophy.
Different branches of psychology are anchored to
Cartesian dualism and reflect the preoccupation with compartmentalization
and specialization in its striving toward being accepted as
a science. Psychology is both a natural and a social science
involving the study of how organisms primarily people, think
learn, perceive, feel, interact with others and understand themselves.
First and the foremost, the phenomenological approach to the
study of mind or psyche as described by Karl Jaspers will briefly
be described despite its lack of impact on psychology in the
several decades. The major approaches based on evolutionary,
developmental, positive and holistic perspectives will briefly
be touched upon. The need for empirical validation of the various
theories using appropriate methodology is essential as psychology
can no longer
stay afford in an ivory tower . Finally whether ancient Indian
psychological thought can contribute this paradigm shift will
also be examined.
About the speaker, in brief:
Prof. Malavika Kapur is an honorary Professor at the National
Institute of Advanced studies, Bangalore. Earlier she was
the Professor and Head of the Department of Clinical Psychology
at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences,
Bangalore. She has a Ph.D in Clinical Psychology from Bangalore
University and has seven books and over 100 publications to
her credit. She is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society,
the Indian Association
of Clinical Psychologists, the Indian Association of Child
and Adolescent Mental Health and the National Academy of Psychology.
She has been a consultant for organistions such as the WHO,
UGC, NCERT, NIPCCD, ICMR and ICSSR. She has been twice awarded
the scholar in residency at the Study and Conference centre,
at Bellagio in Italy, by the Rockefeller Foundation. Her areas
of interest are Developmental Psychology, community mental
health programmes for children and adolescents in urban and
rural schools, Primary Health Care and Anganawadi workers
and development of assessment tools and intervention packages
for children and adolescents in the Indian context. Her main
contribution is her work of developing integrated models of
mental health service delivery for children and adolescents.
Her work is embedded in the cultural context as revealed in
her study of Child Care in Ancient India based on Ayurveda.
Her other interests are fiction writing and trekking in the
foothills of the Himalayas.

Lecture Series 2007
Speaker:Prof. Uma Chakravarti
Topic: Gendering the Notion of Transitions in Indian
History: A Critical Analysis of the Mahabharata
As a key religio-historical text, the Mahabharata (more than
any other Indian/Hindu text) reflects all the ambiguities and
contradictions of a transitional moment in history. The text
can be re-read to ask unasked questions that relate to understanding
the complexities of Indian history, the particularities of the
social and economic formations of that time, and how transitions
may have shaped gender relations at different moments of time.
In addition, the lecture will look at the spatial dimensions
of such transformations.

Topic: ' Ballet: A Universal Language
Speaker: Prof.Claire Sheridan
Abstract: Classical ballet is a Western dance form that
has taken root all over the world. Whether it's in Cape Town or
Shanghai, Moscow or Buenos Aires, Tokyo or New York City, dancers
study, companies perform and audiences are moved by this unique
combination of movement, art, and music. But why? How does classical
ballet manage to reach across so many cultures? In this presentation,
Prof Sheridan will go "behind the scenes" and explore
the technical, artistic and historical components of this dance
form. Video of some of the ballet world's great works and star
dancers will provide illustration.
About the Speaker: Prof Sheridan established the dance
program at Saint Mary's College of California and is currently
on the faculty there. She has directed and choreographed more
than 150 dance concerts and musical productions for university
and professional theatre and has extensive international experience
as a teacher and choreographer at The St. Petersburg Conservatory
and The Academy of Culture (St. Petersburg, Russia), Cambridge
University (England), Charles University (Prague), and at academies
and colleges in India, Japan, Germany, Switzerland, Palestine,
Bosnia, and the Ukraine. Prof Sheridan is also the founder of
LEAP, a national program that serves the academic needs of professional
dancers in the United States. She is currently working with dancers
from American Ballet Theatre, San Francisco Ballet, and the Broadway

Special Lecture
Topic: Democracy's Next Step: Building a Dignitarian
Society
Speaker: Robert Fuller
Abstract: Abstract:
In this talk Professor Fuller will first introduce the notion
of "rankism" and show that it is an avoidable cause
of human indignity. Then he will define a "dignitarian"
society by contrasting it to an "egalitarian" society.
A dignitarian society does not aim to abolish, equalize or level
ranks, but rather holds that regardless of our rank, we are
all equal when it comes to dignity. In practice, democracies
have proven better at protecting liberty than at establishing
justice, especially when the notion of justice is enlarged to
include economic justice. Dignity is a steppingstone to the
more fair, just and decent societies that political thinkers
have long envisioned, and in this sense a dignitarian society
is plausibly democracy's next evolutionary step, one that will
better realize the Jeffersonian promise of liberty and justice
for all.
About the Speaker:
Robert Fuller is an international authority and foremost thought
leader on the topic of rankism - abusive, discriminatory
or exploitive behavior towards people who have less power due
to their lower rank in a particular hierarchy. Fuller is credited
with coining the term "rankism" and fostering
the "dignity" movement, which aims to overcome rank
based abuse. He has a well-deserved reputation for effectively
showing organizations how to fight the rankism that limits their
productivity and performance and for institutionalizing
a culture of respect. All his life Robert W. Fuller has been
ahead of the curve - questioning the conventional wisdom and
working in both traditional and untraditional ways to bring
about social and political change. After earning his Ph. D.
in physics at Princeton University in 1961, Robert Fuller taught
at Columbia University and co-authored the book Mathematics
of Classical and Quantum Physics. The mounting social unrest
of the 1960s drew his attention to educational reform, and in
1970 he was appointed president of his alma mater Oberlin College
at the age of 33. In 1971 Fuller traveled to India (as a consultant
to Indira Gandhi) and there witnessed firsthand the famine resulting
from the war with Pakistan over what became Bangladesh. With
the election of Jimmy Carter, Fuller began a campaign to persuade
the new president to end world hunger. His meeting with Carter
in the Oval Office in June 1977 helped lead to the establishment
of the Presidential Commission on World Hunger.

Topic: Film Studies in India: Some Dominant Trends
Speaker: Sri S T Baskaran
Chairperson: Dr Sindhu Radhakrishna
Abstract:
Cinema appeared in India as an entirely new art, a child of
technology. It was received with Indifference both by the
educated class and the government. What were the reasons for
this indifference and what has been its impact on Indian cinema?
It was only in the last two decades that cinema is being subjected
to scholarly attention, as an off shoot of Subaltern Studies.
How did Film studies begin in India? What is the direction
it is taking? Much of the studies on Indian Cinema are from
the western universities. What are the implications? These
are some of the questions we will be looking at.
About the speaker, in brief:
Theodore Baskaran's book The Message Bearers (Cre-A, 1981)
is a standard reference work on early South Indian cinema and
theatre. His other book The Eye of the Serpent: An Introduction
to Tamil Cinema (East West, 1996) won the Golden Lotus award
from the President of India. His forthcoming book History Through
the Lens: Dimensions of South Indian Cinema (OL) is due in February
next. In 2001, he was Hughes Visiting Scholar in the University
of Michigan. For three years he has been the Director of Roja
Muthiah Research Library in Chennai where he documented the
print material relating to South Indian cinema. Baskaran writes
in Tamil also and has to his credit two Tamil books on cinema.

Speaker: Ashwin Ramesh
Topic: Communicating the good society
Chairperson: Dr Rajesh Kasturirangan
Abstract:
What is the potential of ICTs (information and communication
technologies) to alter the reigning paradigms of information
and media, and what are the attendant implications for governance
and public policy? I will talk about my understanding of the
answers to these questions, based on several years of experience
with India Together, and the more recent ideas I have tried
with Mapunity. There are three themes that particularly interest
me - 'polarity' and 'proportion' in media, and 'organisation
of information' in all communication.
About the speaker:
Dr Ashwin Mahesh is a co-founder of the public affairs magazine,
India Together, and one of its lead editors. He is interested
in the potential of information and communication to promote
the public good, and believes that there are still numerous
unexplored ways to develop this potential in India - for citizenship,
consumer advocacy, libraries, and many other purposes. He trained
first as an astronomer studying newly forming stars, and thereafter
as an atmospheric scientist studying Antarctic clouds, blowing
snow, and climate change in the polar regions. In recent years,
he has been interested in spatial information platforms for
development work and governance, and this has led to the establishment
of Mapunity, a social technology company incubated at IIM Bangalore.
He is a consultant with the Second Administrative Reforms Commission,
where he has worked on civil service reforms, public order,
and the right to information.

Wednesday Talk
Speaker: Indira Vijayasimha
Topic: Possible Modernities and the Role of Science Education
Chairperson: Dr M G Narasimhan
Abstract: The emergence of India, the modern nation-state,
is inextricably linked with the idea of scientific rationality.
It can be argued that, "India" as an entity was produced
by colonialism. By mid-nineteenth century, in British India,
the state used technology – irrigation works, railways,
telegraphs, mines and manufacturing units – to re-organize
the land and its people into a productive colony. The problem
for the nationalists was this – how to redefine India in
such a way that it could be a nation in an international system
of nations and yet be irreducibly different. Pained by the exceptionalist
claims of Western science, intellectuals like J.C.Bose patiently
developed arguments to show that India was the original home
of science. Indian modernity came to be defined in a pre-dominantly
Hindu and Sanskritic idiom. I have drawn upon this discourse
because I see in it both problem and promise.
Ideas, conceptions and theories of science have always been
intimately linked with the pedagogy of science. When viewed
through text-books, science seems to be a white European male
domain. Science education is about helping students enter into
this culture of science rather than to interrogate it.
Finally, I shall problematize the teaching of science in the
classroom within this framework.

Eighth M N Srinivas Memorial Lecture
Topic: Caste as Capital: Retelling the Story of Our Modernity
Speaker: Prof Satish Deshpande, Department of Sociology,
Delhi School of Economics,Delhi University.
Abstract:
Caste was perhaps the one question on which there was unanimity
at the time of Independence. Regardless of their political persuasion
or caste origins, all strands of national leadership agreed
publicly that the only civilized response to caste was to abolish
it as quickly as possible. Our constitution and our state tried
to do this by simultaneously adopting the posture of caste blindness
and initiating programmes of 'compensatory discrimination'.
Half a century later, the apparent consensus on caste appears
to have been turned inside out. Today, the deepest and least
reconcilable divisions in Indian society and politics are those
around caste. One section of society claims to have left caste
behind and is demanding that the state deliver on its promises
of caste-blindness. Another section of society seems deeply
invested in caste and is demanding that the logic of 'compensatory
discrimination' be taken to its limit. Both sides feel cheated
by six decades of independence.
In taking up M.N. Srinivas's life-long concern with caste,
this paper argues that to move beyond the current impasse, we
must understand the different ways in which caste has functioned
as capital in independent India. Some forms of caste-capital
are more easily recognised as such because they require constant
and explicit invocation of caste identity. By contrast, other
forms of caste-capital tend to render caste invisible, making
it implicit rather than explicit. However, both forms share
the tendency to transform what they depend on, thus encouraging
the contextual misrecognition of the entity that continues to
be called 'caste'.
Two prominent versions of the story of our modernity describe,
from different vantage points, the failure of our attempts to
kill caste. The more common one points the finger at politicians,
the electoral encashment of caste and identity politics. The
other version points to the continuing correlation between caste
and privilege to argue that caste-blindness is actually caste-camouflage.
Perhaps we are now at a stage of our history where it is both
possible and necessary to retell the story of our modernity
in more complex ways. If it is to be enabling, this retelling
must resist the temptations of symmetrical neither-norism while
recognizing the generative possibilities inherent in the history
of our present.
About the speaker, in brief:
Satish Deshpande is a professor of Sociology at the Dept
of Sociology, Delhi School of Economics, Delhi. He is the author
of 'Contemporary India', a seminal book on socio-cultural debates
in India and has written an essay on Prof. Srinivas' work in
the new volume on founders of Indian sociology and social anthropology.

Speaker: Dr Monima Chadha, School of Bioethics and Philosophy,
Monash University
Topic: Self Knowledge and embodiment
Abstract: This paper is an attempt to combine the insights
of three different approaches in contemporary mental—i.e.
(1) non-conceptualism in the theory of content,
(2) embodied cognition theory, and
(3) phenomenological method in the theory of consciousness
In order to preserve the widely-held and prima facie compelling
intuition that first-person ascriptions of mental states enjoy
a special kind of authority. More precisely, I argue for the
following two-part thesis:
(1) that my first-order sensorimotor-subjective awareness of
my own embodiment has a primitive epistemic authority that grounds
every other kind of self-knowledge, and
(2) that this primitive self-knowledge is a non-conceptual or
intrinsically acquaintive kind of self-knowledge, and not a
conceptual or intrinsically descriptive kind of self-knowledge.
In this two-part sense, I primitively know myself by just being
an embodied mind and by just being consciously in touch with
my own body in the skilful performance of its intentional movements.
