On March 18, 2010, Lund University decided to give the Swedish South Asian Studies Network, SASNET, SEK 830 000 as extra budget funds, in addition to the basic funding equal to the same amount, already provided to SASNET for 2010. The extra funds are taken from the Vice Chancellor’s strategic research funds, and should be specifically used to prepare an investigation regarding Lund University’s common and long-term strategy on collaboration with South Asia. The task also includes exploring possibilities to find external collaboration partners and secure new external funding for SASNET’s continued South Asia related activities. A report should be delivered to the Vice Chancellor before 30 June 2011.
In the decision, the Lund University management also clearly states that it highly values SASNET’s Internet gateway, the newsletters and data bases built up over a period of 10 years. These should be kept intact and continue to be maintained.

Arsenic in groundwater constitutes a major human health issue in many countries globally. It is particularly acute in the Bengal Delta Plains in Bangladesh and India (see map of most affected areas in South-East Asia) but has also been reported in many parts of the world, including Argentina, Chile, China, the United States. The problem of arsenic poisoning in Bengal has received considerable media attention. Although the source of arsenic is natural, people’s exposure to arsenic in drinking water is the result of extensive groundwater development that began in the 1970s with the support of international development agencies.
Arsenic poisoning caused by the widespread boring of wells for drinking water has raised concern about ground water exploitation in other parts of the world. The seminar probes the issue of arsenic poisoning in a broad social context and an interdisciplinary perspective, with a focus on how to provide safe drinking water in the future, and what is presently being done by researchers, donors and practitioners working with these issues.
The program includes lectures by Prof. Torleif Dahlin, Lund University, who will talk about ”Groundwater – the hidden resource. A world survey”; Prof. Prosun Bhattacharya, KTH, who will talk about ”Strategies for Sustainable Arsenic Mitigation in Bangladesh”; Prof. Marie Vahter, Division of Metals & Health, Institute of Environmental Medicine (IMM), Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm who will talk about ”Health effects of arsenic with special focus on early-life exposure”, Dr. Abul Mandal, School of Life Sciences, Skövde University, who will talk about ”Studies of genes involved in uptake and/or metabolism of arsenics in plants: A practical approach for protection of human from arsenic contamination”; and Dr. Mattias von Brömssen, Ramböll AB, who will talk about ”Challenges for providing safe drinking water in regions with high As-groundwater in Bangladesh”. Prof. Lennart Olsson from LUCSUS will be the moderator for the day.
The seminar is open to all, and free of charge. Pre-registration is however necessary. Please register your participation to Lars.Eklund@sasnet.lu.se before May 2nd. Venue for the seminar: Världen, Geocentrum 1, 1st floor, Sölvegatan 10, Lund.

• SASNET Seminar on
The Maldives – Paradise Lost?
Nils Finn Munch-Petersen, Senior expert at the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies (NIAS) in Copenhagen, Denmark, holds an open SASNET lecture at Lund University on Tuesday 27 April 2010, 13.15 – 15.00.
Nils Finn will talk about ”The Maldives – Paradise Lost?”, focusing on the current developments in the Indian Ocean republic, claimed to be threatened by a rise in sea level due to expected global warming. However, more immediate threats are issues such as a break-down of society caused by a growing economic and demographic imbalance precipitated by uncontrolled tourism growth and the influx of lowly-paid foreign workers. This leads to social inequality, a growing number of unemployed youth, narcotics related criminality and a growing Islamic fundamentalism.
Nils Finn Munch-Petersen is a social anthropologist who first visited the Maldives in the 1970s, and has since travelled extensively in the Northern and Southern Atolls for research and work for international organizations such as UNDP, UNICEF, UNFPA, and the World Bank. He is considered to be one of the leading, non-Maldivian, world specialists on the Maldives.
Venue for the seminar: Conference room, Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies (ACE), Lund University (Ideon Alfa 1 Building, Scheelevägen 15 D, first floor), Lund.

• Doctoral dissertation on Sri Lanka Civil War and Peace Negotiations
Jannie Lilja, Department of Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University, will defend her doctoral dissertation entitled ”Disaggregating Dissent: The Challenges of Intra-Party Consolidation in Civil War and Peace Negotiations”, on Wednesday 12 May 2010, at 10.15. It partly deals with Sri Lanka. Elisabeth Jean Wood, Professor of Political Science at Yale University, USA, will be the faculty opponent.
The thesis discusses the fact that contemporary civil wars are often characterized not only by fighting between rebels and governments, but also by rebel violence against their own community members. In spite of repeated peace negotiations, many of these conflicts seem to go on endlessly. The dissertation approaches the question of rebel capacity by disaggregating the non-state side in civil war and in connection with peace talks. It offers a set of original case studies from three ethno-separatist conflicts: Sri Lanka, Indonesian Aceh, and Senegal.

• Udaya Narayana Singh writes on translation
theory
Prof. Udaya Narayana Singh,
Director for the Rabindra Bhavana & Tagore Research Chair, Visva-Bharati University in Santiniketan, India, has published a new book entitled ”Translation as Growth: Towards a Theory of
Language Development” (Longman Pearson, 2010). In the book, Singh argues that translation, like
authoring, is a creative act that enriches both the original and
translated language. Singh shows that the major modern Indian languages have developed
not only through ‘vertical’ translations from the languages of power and knowledge –
English and Sanskrit – but also by engaging in ‘horizontal’ translations of one another,
ultimately contributing to the creation of an inherently pluralistic body of literature in
India. More information about the book.
Till June 2009, Prof. Singh was the Director for the
Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL) in Mysore, involved in several projects together with Swedish researchers. He is a renowned linguist as well
as a reputed poet, playwright and essayist in Maithili and Bengali. He set up the Centre
for Applied Linguistics and Translation Studies (CALTS), the Centre for Distance
Education and the Study India Program (SIP) at the University of Hyderabad, and has
taught at the Universities of Delhi, Baroda and Surat. More information.
• CROP aims to be the hub for global poverty research
The Comparative Research Programme on Poverty (CROP), hosted by the University of Bergen, Norway has undergone a process of restructuring and reorganization. The central aim of CROP is to mobilize critical research for preventing and eradicating poverty. Since 2009, CROP has adapted a new strategic plan, involving cooperation with researchers all over the world, and clear and relevant research outputs that are accessible to policy makers, activists, the media and the general public. The new website plays a crucial role in this ambition, since it aims at being a ‘one-stop shop’ on poverty research – a place where researchers worldwide can find the latest workshops, publications and news on critical approaches to poverty, and advertise events and publications. Researchers and others working on poverty-related issues will also be able to register their details in CROP’s online database, to make themselves visible to a broader community.

• India invites foreign top institutions to set up innovation universities
Decades after India sought foreign assistance to establish its first premier technical institutes – the Indian Institutes of Technology or IITs – it is again seeking guidance from the world's top institutions to set up 14 innovation universities. The government wants mentors from leading universities in the US and UK. They include the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard, Yale and George Washington universities, and Imperial College, London.
The 14 innovation universities are to be centres of excellence along the lines of Harvard and Oxford. The plan to create the universities was first announced by President Pratibha Patil during her address to Parliament soon after the Manmohan Singh-led government took over 2008.
The government wants the universities to be autonomous entities with no 'regulation from outside'. At present, universities are governed by the University Grants Commission and have limited powers to fix fees or sanction teaching posts. But a 'concept note', prepared by the Education Ministry and circulated to other government departments, says the universities will be allowed to frame their own rules for academics and the qualifications needed for teaching positions. They will have freedom to decide their fees, curricula and rules for the appointment of faculty. The innovation universities are meant to fill a gap in research and also tackle new areas or problems significant to India. These include urbanisation, green energy, environmental sustainability and public health. More information.

Important lectures and seminars in Scandinavia
• Oslo lecture on Buddhism and Militarism in
Contemporary Sri Lanka
Sarah Iselin Frydenlund, Dept. of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages (IKOS), University of Oslo, will hold a public lecture on ”Buddhism and Militarism in
Contemporary Sri Lanka” on Tuesday 27 April 2010, 16.15. The seminar is organised by the Oslo Buddhist Studies Forum, and focuses on the fact that in spite that
Buddhism is often perceived as a religion that emphasizes worldly renunciation and non-violence, Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka
favoured a military solution to the conflict with the LTTE. Is it possible, based on the Sri Lankan
case, to critically engage in a discussion about Buddhism and violence? Venue for the seminar: P.A. Munch's Building, 1st floor, seminar room 4, Blindern, Oslo. More information.
• Sudipta Bhattacharyya holds first ICCR-CBS Lecture at Copenhagen Business School
Dr. Sudipta Bhattacharyya, ICCR Visiting Professor at the Asia Research Centre (ARC), Copenhagen Business School (CBS) & Associate Professor, Dept. of Economics and Politics, Visva-Bharati, West Bengal, India will hold the first ICCR-CBS Lecture, as it is called, on Monday 3 May 2010, 16.00–18.15. Dr. Bhattacharyya will talk about ”India's Winning Card to Economic Progress: Agriculture or Industry?”. It will be his inaugural lecture as the first visiting professor at CBS funded by the Indian Council of Cultural Relations (ICCR). The Government of India, through ICCR, and the Copenhagen Business School has signed an agreement according to which Asia Research Centre at CBS will receive a visiting professor from India on a rotating yearly basis.
In his lecture, Dr. Bhattacharyya explores how agriculture and industry may be balanced in an emerging economy like India. India has witnessed a broad systematic relationship between performance of agriculture and industrial expansion. The relative neglect of agriculture during the second and third Five Year Plans resulted in a squeeze in the home market for industrial goods and consequent industrial stagnation since the mid sixties. Industry recovered in the eighties following the progress of the green revolution and the anti-poverty policies. During the nineties the initial industrial boom could not be sustained because of the dismal performance of agriculture following state withdrawal policies. In current years, a recovery of industrial growth is witnessed as a result of state interventionist policies related to agriculture and rural development taken up since mid 2000s. The lecture will discuss why these policies affect India's economic progress in a positive way and give suggestions to how other emerging economies might learn from India's experience.
The seminar will be introduced by the Ambassador of India to Denmark, Mr. Yogesh K. Gupta, who will give a presentation on ”Academic Collaboration between India and Denmark”. Venue: CBS/Kilen, Ks71 Euler Hermes Aud (ground floor), Frederiksberg (next to metro station Fasanvej). Please register before 26 April.

• Devnet seminar on hazardous ship dismantling
The Swedish research network on sustainable development, DevNet (based at Uppsala Centre for Sustainable Development, CSD) organises a seminar on ”Ship Dismantling – Current Problems and Ways Forward” in Uppsala on Tuesday 4 May 2010, 9.15–12.00. It focuses on the fact that despite that the majority of the international ship fleet is registered within the EU and the US, less than 1% of the ships are currently being dismantled in these countries once they are ready for scrapping.
Instead, they are ”beached” in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, where poorly paid unskilled workers dismantle the ships under circumstances that are extremely hazardous for both workers and the environment. Still, the ship dismantling industry represents work opportunities in these countries and almost everything from the ships are recycled and reused. Is there scope to improve the existing practices so that ship dismantling could continue in the current countries in a more environmentally and socially sustainable way?
The workshop is introduced with a lecture by Prof. Shyam R. Asolekar, Centre for Environment Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, followed by a challenging and constructive discussion on possible solutions. A broad range of actors are invited to the workshop, including academics, NGOs, political actors and the business community.
Venue: Room Norrland I, Geocentrum, Villavägen 16, Uppsala. More information.
