Illustrated lecture by Prof. Himanshu Prabha Ray, author and historian, currently Research Fellow, Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, Oxford and Routledge Series Editor, Archaeology and Religion in South Asia

The search for relics of the Buddha is a fascinating story of irretrievable transformation of an ancient religious practice dating from the 3rd century BCE Mauryan period in the 19th and 20th centuries as brick mounds indicating ancient stupas yielded their treasures of gems, gold and coins to indiscriminate diggers and adventurers. The talk will provide a context and the background to the IIC photo exhibition in the Quadrangle Garden

A Passage to India

A Spanish diplomat in India, Guillermo Nadal Blanes (1954-1975)

Seven years after the establishment of diplomatic relations between India and Spain in 1956, Guillermo Nadal arrived in 1961 to serve as Chargé d’Affaires at the Spanish embassy and was later promoted as Ambassador, remaining in India continuously until 1975. His Indian epoch was extraordinarily intense, not only in how it influenced the forging of a relationship between the two countries, but also perhaps due to his profound dedication to various facets of Indian thought, its history, politics and culture.

Dr. Gonçal Artur López Nadal, nephew of Amb. Guillermo Nadal will present an illustrated lecture using footage from the original films made by his uncle to give a glimpse of this intimate communion, unusual between a diplomat and the country in which he carried out his mission

Remarks by H.E. Mr. Jose Maria Ridao Dominguez, Ambassador of Spain; and Dr. Òscar Pujol, Director, Cervantes Institute, New Delhi
