Noh-Kyogen is considered to be the most ancient form of theatre. Among its repertoire is “Okina – Sanbaso” performed only on special occasions such as the New Year. Unlike other Noh and Kyogen pieces, this 600-year old masterpiece has no storyline or narrative, and is considered more of a sacred ritual for peace and abundant harvest.

Turmeric Nation: A Passage through India’s Tastes
By Shylashri Shankar (New Delhi: Speaking Tiger Books, 2020)

Date and Time:
12 October, 2020 at 4.00 pm – 5 pm
 
About the Webinar :
What exactly is “Indian” food? Can it be classified by region, or religion, or ritual?
What are the culinary commonalities across the Indian subcontinent?
Do we Indians have a sense of collective self when it comes to cuisine?
Or is the pluralism in our food habits and choices the only identity we have ever needed?

Turmeric Nation is an ambitious and insightful project which answers these questions.
It offers a layered and revealing portrait of India, as a society and a nation, through its enduring relationship with food.

Speakers:
Mr. Ranveer Brar, Indian celebrity chef, TV show Judge and Food Stylist (Chair)
Mita Kapur, Indian celebrity chef, Author, Restaurateur and Media personality

VP Dutt Memorial Lecture |
India as Teacher by Negative Example: Chinese Perceptions of India During the British Colonial Period and Their Impact on Contemporary India-China Relations 

Speaker: Ambassador Shyam Saran, Former Foreign Secretary of India, Member,Governing Council, ICS

 
Abstract
The history of ancient civilizational links between India and China is often cited as the enduring basis for India-China friendship. However, contemporary India-China relations have been much more influenced by Chinese encounters with British imperialism, with Indians playing the role of subordinate instruments of British depredations in China. India was held up by Chinese intellectuals as a teacher by negative example, its easy subjugation by the British, its fragmented and disunited polity. China would need to avoid these dangers if it were to regain its full independence and modernisation. These perceptions persist and influence Chinese policy towards India in contemporary times and need careful analysis.
