CONTENTS
Another year has flown by and despite our intentions to produce this newsletter more often, it turns out to be an annual event.
Like the previous year, in the last week of May, the scholarship 2011 interviews were held in Mumbai. This year, a greater number of candidates were called in to the interviews, both at the preliminary and final interview stages. A total of 10 scholars have been chosen this year.
Alumni continue to do us proud with Dinesh Singh becoming Vice Chancellor of Delhi University and Rajiv Kumar taking over as Secretary General of FICCI.
The Ravi Sankaran Fellowship Programme collaboration is going well with interns doing varied internships, from community based conservation in Rwanda to a veterinary internship in the Wildlife Centre, Virginia. In the Small Grants area the projects vary from studies on the forest owlet to identifying ecological and socio − economic drivers of conflict between aquatic wild life and fisheries in river systems. This year we have one scholar for the Master’s programme, two for the internships’ and three for the Small Grants Programme.
For the Inlaks Research and Travel Grants Programme, three candidates were chosen. The subjects for research were ‘Modernity and the Autonomy of Art : French Painters at the Crossroads 1802-1848’, ‘Problems of Identity and Selfhood in Some Women Poets of the English Renaissance’ and ‘Living with Floods in Sunderbans: Disaster Management’. The Inlaks India Foundation grows from strength to strength with the Fine Arts Awards and the Theatre Awards being the mainstays. We hope to introduce a formal Sports Award later this year.

Aman Sethi (1978)
A Free Man
Mohammed Ashraf is short
and stubby, with a narrow but
muscular chest and small, broad
hands balanced on strong,
flexible wrists. But Ashraf does
not grudge the throw of the dice that has made him
a safediwallah with a mazdoor’s body. A small man’s
body can do things that a slenderchamak-challo
cannot even contemplate.
A small man carries the ground close to him wherever
he goes, even as he hangs along the side of a building
three storeys high. The memory of the ground that
allows him to crawl into crevices, perch on narrow
ledges and balance on wobbly parapets. A short man
knows the limits of his body, the extent of his reach,
the exact position of his centre of balance. Unlike
the tall man, he holds no illusions regarding his
abilities or his dimensions; he will never overreach,
overextend or overbalance.
Amitav Ghosh ( 1978)
River of Smoke
In September 1838 a storm
blows up on the Indian Ocean
and the Ibis, a ship carrying
a consignment of convicts
and indentured laborers from
Calcutta to Mauritius, is caught up in the whirlwind.
When the seas settle, five men have disappeared
- two lascars, two convicts and one of the passengers.
Did the same storm upend the fortunes of those
aboard the Anahita, an opium carrier heading
towards Canton? And what fate befell those aboard
the Redruth, a sturdy two-masted brig heading East
out of Cornwall? Was it the storm that altered their
course or were the destinies of these passengers at the
mercy of even more powerful forces?
On the grand scale of an historical epic, River of
Smoke follows its storm-tossed characters to the
crowded harbours of China. There, despite efforts
of the emperor to stop them, ships from Europe and
India exchange their cargoes of opium for tea, silk,
porcelain and silver. Among them are Bahram Modi,
a wealthy Parsi opium merchant out of Bombay, his
estranged half-Chinese son Ah Fatt, the orphaned
Paulette and a motley collection of others whose
pursuit of romance, riches and a legendary rare
flower have thrown together. All struggle to cope with
their losses – and for some, unimaginable freedoms –
in the alleys and waterways of 19th- century Canton.
As transporting and mesmerizing as an opiate-
induced dream, River of Smoke will soon be heralded
as a masterpiece of twenty-first century literature.
Ejaz Ghani (1982)
Ejaz has edited a volume on The Poor Half Billion.
He has taught Economics at Oxford University and
the University of Delhi. He is currently Economic
Adviser, South Asia Poverty Reduction and
Economic Management , the World Bank.

The Poor Half Billion in
South Asia
What is Holding Back
Lagging Regions?
edited by Ejaz Ghani
South Asia is a land of sharp and
growing contrasts. It has attracted global attention
as an emerging economic powerhouse, but is also
home to the largest concentration of people living
in conflict, poverty, and malnutrition. Focusing on
the poor half billion of South Asia, this volume puts
into perspective the colossal task ahead to eradicate
poverty and enable inclusive growth in the region.
Examining the challenges, successes, and failures
of South Asia, it provides fresh perspectives on the
links between economic geography, institutions,
and globalization. Through a comparative study
of spatial disparities in income, poverty, conflict,
human development, and gender divides, the essays
provide answers to why certain regions are lagging.
Combining quantitative data with analytical rigour,
they provide innovative short- and long-term policy
solutions to overcome the limits to growth and escape
poverty traps.
Geetha Venkataraman (1987)
Geeta has co-authored a research monograph titled
Enumeration of Finite Groups. This was published
by the Cambridge University Press, UK, in their
‘Cambridge Tracts’ series in 2007 -2008. Geetha
joined Ambedkar University, Delhi, as Professor
in their School of Undergraduate Studies and the
School of Liberal Studies.
Enumeration of Finite
Groups
How many groups of order
are there? This is a natural
question for anyone studying
group theory, and this Tract
provides an exhaustive and
up-to-date account of research into this question
spanning almost fifty years. The authors presuppose
an undergraduate knowledge of group theory, up to
and including Sylow’s Theorems, a little knowledge
of how a group may be presented by generators
and relations, a very little representation theory
from the perspective of module theory, and a very
little cohomology theory - but most of the basics
are expounded here and the book is more or less
self-contained. Although it is principally devoted to
a connected exposition of an agreeable theory, the
book does also contain some material that has not
hitherto been published. It is designed to be used as a
graduate text but also as a handbook for established
research workers in group theory.
