1. Introduction and summary

During 2005 we continued to network with old and new partners in order to sustain already established activities and to start new ones. The work follows the original plan drawn up for SASNET in October 2000 and subsequent plans made by the various board meetings. The board meetings on 24 August 2004 and on 15 February 2005 gave more precise directions.

• further development of SASNET’s Internet Gateway
• funding and supporting the planning of 15 new research and education projects across Sweden
• follow-up meetings with network partners in Stockholm and Uppsala
• interaction over the Internet and via telephone with a large number of Swedish and South Asian students and scholars, providing information and contacts
• further attempt to organise a Nordic Research School for South Asia, called SARTrain
• further development of the Öresund Network of Asian Studies
• continued support to the Masters Programme in Asian Studies at Lund University
• continued organisation of an undergraduate programme in South Asian Studies at Österlen’s Folk High School
• interaction with Sida’s Asia division
• interaction with the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies at Lund University around guest lectures
• interaction with the ambassadors of India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka about various issues
• organisation of lectures and seminars at Lund University

Our expenses were according to the budget approved by the board on 30 August 2005 with only a small budget deficit of SEK 13 000 (see Appendices 4 and 6).

With these activities and results, we believe that we have reached the targets set for 2005. We also feel that the evaluation has helped us develop our ideas about what SASNET is and ought to be.

2. Organisation

Decisions taken at the board meeting on August 24, 2004 were guiding most of our activities during 2005, (see point 6–12 in Appendix 9, Minutes from the 24 August 2004 meeting).

15 January. For the Minutes, see Appendix 10.
The most important decisions were about the evaluation of SASNET and the contact journey to the Northeastern regions of South Asia during the autumn.

30 August. For the Minutes, see Appendix 11.
This meeting concentrated on the result of the evaluation of SASNET and the future activities of SASNET.

Staffan Lindberg worked as Director and Coordinator (50 %) Besides work at the root node, which is included in this general report, his individual activities related to South Asian studies are reported in Section 4 below. Lars Eklund worked as full-time Webmaster and Programme Secretary. Besides work at the root node, which is included in the general report, his individual activities related to South Asian studies are reported in Section 4 below.

Jan Magnusson worked as the Director of Studies for the Masters Programme in Asian Studies. Boel Billgren, deputy head of the International Office coordinated the organisational efforts on behalf of SASNET. A number of other persons, including Mr. Lars Magnusson, Birgitta Hansson, and Birgitta Devlin at the International Office generously assisted SASNET with their services of administration, data operations, and language editing. Karin Andersson at the Office of Analyses and Projects was also very helpful in managing our payments and accounts.

SASNET also received support from the Department of Sociology (providing free office space for Staffan Lindberg, allowing us to use their lecture halls and conference rooms, and helping with photocopying, etc.). We also received generous support from the Office for Continuing and Distance Education headed by Mr. Lennart Badersten, which has supplied computer hardware to SASNET and financed our search engine for the Internet Gateway.

The Internet Gateway is now established as a reliable and thorough source of information for students, researchers and other persons interested in South Asian studies. It has received worldwide attention and recognition for its wealth of useful information. Up to 11 April it has had nearly 50 000 visitors since 5 August 2001 when it was originally launched. Since this is SASNET's main tool of communication a lot of time is spent updating and developing its content. New information is added on a daily basis, and the work is done on a journalistic basis.

The big event of 2005 was the evaluation of SASNET after four years of operation. Terms of reference (see the end of Appendix 1) stipulated that it would be undertaken in four steps:
a) Self-evaluation by SASNET staff, board members and network partners
b) External evaluation by experts in the field
c) After consultations between SASNET personnel and external experts, there will be a final report to Sida and Lund University. The final report will consists of the Self-evaluation and the Report of the External experts
d) Comments and feedback from Sida and Lund University

Our Self-evaluation (see Appendix 1) took place during late 2004 and early 2005 and was presented to the external experts in April 2005. The external experts were also provided with an extensive documentation of SASNET activities 2000 – 2005.

The external experts Prof. Carla Risseeuw, Leiden, Prof. Ghanshyam Shah, Ahmedabad, and Mr. Lennart Wohlgemuth, Uppsala, worked in Sweden from 8 to 14 May and interviewed about 60 persons in Stockholm, Uppsala, Karlstad, Göteborg and Lund. They also had e-mail contacts with some of our partners in South Asia. Finally they met us at the root node in Lund on 13-14 May and discussed their findings. Their report was delivered in the end of June 2005 (Appendix 2).

On 7 September, Staffan Lindberg and the head of the external experts, Mr. Lennart Wohlgemuth had a meeting with Sida SAREC and discussed the results of the evaluation.

In September we sent in a new application to Sida SAREC for funding during 2006 – 2008 (see Appendix 7).

On 28 February 2006 Sida SAREC decided the funding of SASNET during 2006 – 2008 with the same amount as earlier received, that is, 1.65 million annually.

On 14 February 2006 the new board set the agenda for SASNET’s new activities in 2006 (see Appendix 12, Minutes from the 14 February 2006 meeting).

Two new grant programmes will be implemented, in addition to the already existing Networking grants

The board decided that the three most important criteria to be emphasized when announcing planning grants and interdisciplinary workshops should be:

Maximum amount for one interdisciplinary workshop could be 150 000 SEK (the same as for planning a programme with many institutions and actors involved). If the reference group does not think that it needs to use all the 200 000 SEK set aside for interdisciplinary workshops, it can use the remaining money for some additional good applications for planning grants.

For the guest lectures, it was decided that the invited researcher from South Asia should be a new guest lecturer (who has not previously lectured at the department) and that the inviting department will pay the fee for the lectures given, while SASNET’s grant can be used for travel, boarding and lodging. Priority will be given to applications that involve lectures at more than one department and university. The maximum grant should be 20 000 SEK.

A strategy group for the long time planning and funding of SASNET activities was formed. Its members are Camilla Orjuela, Jan Magnusson, Bo Lindblad, Rajni Hatti Kaul and Gunnel Cederlöf.

The board also decided that the SASNET root node should organise a focussed workshop on the role of South Asia in higher education in Sweden during November-December 2006.

3. Networking Activities

During 2005 we interacted with a large number of researchers, teachers and students by the exchanging e-mails and telephone calls. Many of these contacts were generated through our organisation of the 18th European Conference of Modern South Asian Studies in 2004. In all these contacts we used our Internet Gateway as a source of information. Some of the more important activities are listed in Section 4 below.

The most important networking in 2005 took place in New Delhi in February and December 2005, when sociologists from all countries in South Asia, except the Maldives and Afghanistan, met to discuss common research agenda and the formation of a South Asia Sociological Association. Staffan Lindberg played an active role in this and SASNET financed the second meeting in December with a planning grant of SEK 78 000. The most tangible results are three:

SASNET distributes newsletters and updates the Internet Gateway on a daily basis. The distribution list presently contains about 1 100 e-mail addresses.

All the newsletters can be found at: http://www.sasnet.lu.se/sasnet.html. They represent a detailed archive of all major activities in SASNET during the year with links to relevant documents and homepages.

The reference group, consisting of Prof. Pamela Price (Department of History, Oslo University), Dr. Neil Webster (Centre for Development Research, Copenhagen), and Dr. Malin Åkerblom (International Science Programme, Uppsala), decided to approve grants to the following persons, projects and programmes (http://www.sasnet.lu.se/grants.html):

The Masters Programme in Asian Studies at Lund University was started on 1 September 2003 at Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies (ACE). The South Asian studies’ track has had around 15 students in the three groups that have been started in 2003, 2004 and 2005. SASNET root node has been active in the course with Staffan Lindberg teaching a 10 credit course on region specific development and supervising some of the students and with Lars Eklund providing information about sources for South Asia Studies as well as making the SASNET magazine library available to the students.

We continued to work with a one-year academic undergraduate course about India/South Asia at Österlen’s Folk High School (20 credit points). The teachers come from sociology, human ecology, and anthropology and the programme is now in its fifth year (see: http://www.osterlen.fhsk.se/sydasien/index.htm). The average number of students is now 25.

During 2005 SASNET has also been very active in organising co-operation within the Øresund Network of Asian Studies, ØRNAST (See http://www.sasnet.lu.se/ornast.html). Several coordination meetings were held and a pamphlet with information to students was printed and distributed.

In 2005 Staffan Lindberg participated in the in the continued planning and organisation of The Asian Century Research School Network (ACRSN) lead by NIAS, Copenhagen. A subsection on South Asia made an application to the European Commission in the fall of 2005 for a research training programme with 12 doctoral students, called SARTrain, and came close to getting a grant. In the meantime a number of activities are planned with our assistance.

For example, Lund University will arrange an independent, interdisciplinary research training course for masters and PhD students on Religion, Conflict and Identity in South and Southeast Asia, in the autumn of 2006. Lectures and seminars constitute a 7.5 ECTS reading course, and an additional 7.5 ECTS are awarded for writing a paper. The course supplies the students with overviews of the broader religious developments in South and South-East Asia, as well as with in-depth analyses of three cases where religious affiliation has served as important identity markers and sources of conflict. Course leaders are Dr. Catarina Kinnvall, Dept. of Political Science and Dr. Sidsel Hansson, Centre for Theology and Religious Studies (CTR). More information.

We are continuously updating our page called “Recommended reading/listening for South Asia scholars” (see http://www.sasnet.lu.se/recreading.html) with new interesting articles.

In May, Staffan Lindberg was interviewed about the fast economic development in India, by Vetenskapsradion. The programme was sent on 18 May 13.20.

In November – December Staffan Lindberg helped TV2 journalist Malin Westberg and Swedish Radio journalist Åsa Furuhagen Vestergren with various contacts in India in connection with their planned series from India during 2005-2006.

The major networking effort was our contact journey to Northeast South Asia. From 18 November to 19 December we visited a great number of academic institutions in Kolkata, North Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya, Bhutan, Kathmandu, Bhubaneshwar, and Patna. It was a fantastic journey.

First of all, we met with a fair mix of researchers and institutions from all faculties but varying from one university to another depending on our contact persons who arranged the visits. We were impressed by many of these persons and their work, as well of the institutions they worked in.

Sweden and the Nordic countries are well known in this part of South Asia, especially for their welfare policies and there is quite some interest in developing student exchange and research cooperation. We were also quite impressed by the research cooperation and PhD student sandwich training developed by Swedish institutions especially in Dhaka, Bangladesh, within the field of medicine and chemistry. In other parts of the Northeast, Swedish academic presence is much weaker and we think there is scope for more such cooperation also among all sciences.

The standard of higher education seem to vary a lot from prestigious institutions in the capitals and state capitals of these countries and some other well funded and staffed universities in the regions to very poorly funded and staffed institutions in some of these regions. Therefore, there would also be quite some scope for Swedish institutions to get involved in higher education of the faculties of the latter, from Masters to PhD degrees.

The Northeast is a fascinating part of South Asia, ranging from the tropical plains and jungles around the Bay of Bengal to the Himalayas. It is also politically very diverse from the relative peace in West Bengal and Bhutan, to ethnic conflicts in Assam, mounting terrorism in Bangladesh and ‘civil war’ in Nepal. During our trip we tried with the help of our hosts and others to get a deeper understanding of these very varied conditions, which we have extensively reported about on the journey web page, http://www.sasnet.lu.se/journey3.html.

On 10 February Lars Eklund participated at a meeting at Sida in Stockholm, to discuss the new Swedish policy on development assistance to Afghanistan.

On 26 February Staffan Lindberg met and discussed Sweden India co-operation with Calle Svensson at the Swedish Embassy in New Delhi.

During the spring Staffan Lindberg had discussions with Jan Essner, Sida Division of Asia and the Middle East, about the new Swedish India co-operation policy.

On 16 March Lindberg and Eklund met Ulla Rylander at the Swedish Institute and discussed the Pakistan Masters student programme, which SASNET helped initiate in 2004.

During spring, summer and autumn we interacted with Sida SAREC about the evaluation of SASNET.

She argues that this has to do with a ruling preference within the patriarchal social structure of the Gangetic plains, that women if possible should not work. It explains why the ratio of working women is equally low in the poor state of Bihar and the rich state of Haryana, and in wheat-growing Punjab and rice-growing West Bengal. Saraswati Raju had come to Sweden to participate in the GADNET Workshop, held in Uppsala 10–11 November (more information on the workshop).
