Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Taking both a retrospective and prospective view of the management
of cultural heritage in the region, this volume argues that the
plurality and complexity of heritage in the region cannot be
comprehensively understood and effectively managed without a
broader conceptual framework like the cultural landscape approach.
The book also demonstrates that such an approach facilitates the
development of a flexible strategy for heritage conservation.
Acknowledging the effects of rapid socio-economic development,
globalization and climate change, contributors examine the pressure
these issues place on the sustenance of cultural heritage.
Including chapters from more than 20 countries across the
Asia-Pacific region, the volume reviews the effectiveness of
theoretical and practical potentials afforded by the cultural
landscape approach and examines how they have been utilized in the
Asia-Pacific context for the last three decades. The Routledge
Handbook of Cultural Landscape Heritage in the Asia-Pacific
provides a comprehensive analysis of the processes of cultural
landscape heritage conservation and management. As a result, it
will be of interest to academics, students and professionals who
are based in the fields of cultural heritage management,
architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, and landscape
management.
The Routledge Handbook on Historic Urban Landscapes in the
Asia-Pacific sheds light onto the balancing act of urban heritage
management, focusing specifically on the Asia-Pacific regions in
which this challenge is imminent and in need of effective
solutions. Urban heritage, while being threatened amid myriad
forces of global and ecological change, provides a vital social,
cultural, and economic asset for regeneration and sustenance of
liveability of inhabited urban areas worldwide. This six-part
volume takes a critical look at the concept of Historic Urban
Landscapes, the approach that UNESCO promotes to achieve holistic
management of urban heritage, through the lens of issues,
prospects, and experiences of urban regeneration of the selected
geo-cultural context. It further discusses the difficult task that
heritage managers encounter in conceptualizing, mapping, curating,
and sustaining the plurality, poetics, and politics of urban
heritage of the regions in question. The connective thesis that
weaves the chapters in this volume together reinforces for readers
that the management of urban heritage considers cities as dynamic
entities, palimpsests of historical memories, collages of social
diversity, territories of contested identities, and sites for
sustainable liveability. Throughout this edited collection,
chapters argue for recognizing the totality of the eco-cultural
urban fabric, embracing change, building social cohesion, and
initiating strategic socio-economic progress in the conservation of
Historic Urban Landscapes. Containing thirty-seven contributions
written by leading regional experts, and illustrated with over 200
black and white images and tables, this volume provides a
much-needed resource on Historic Urban Landscapes for students,
scholars, and researchers.
The prevalent global heritage discourse has been primarily
Euro-centric in its origin, premise, and praxis. Diverse cultural,
historical, and geographical contexts, such as that of Asia, call
for more context-specific approaches to heritage management. This
book explores this complexity of managing the cultural heritage in
Asia. Case studies include sites of Angkor, Himeji Castle,
Kathmandu Valley, Luang Prabang, Lumbini, and Malacca, and the book
uses these to explore the religious worldviews, heritage policies,
intangible heritage dimensions, traditional preservation practices,
cultural tourism, and the notion of cultural landscape that are
crucial in understanding the cultural heritage in Asia. It
critiques the contemporary regulatory frameworks in operation and
focuses on the issues of global impact on the local cultures in the
region. The book goes on to emphasize the need for integrated
heritage management approaches that encompass the plurality of
heritage conservation concerns in Asian countries. Themes are
discussed from the vantage point of heritage scholars and
practitioners in the South, Southeast, and East Asia. This book
thus presents a distinctive Asian perspective which is a valuable
source for students and practitioners of heritage within and beyond
the Asian context.

A groundbreaking history of the political ideas that made modern
India Violent Fraternity is a major history of the political
thought that laid the foundations of modern India. Taking readers
from the dawn of the twentieth century to the independence of India
and formation of Pakistan in 1947, the book is a testament to the
power of ideas to drive historical transformation. Shruti Kapila
sheds new light on leading figures such as M. K. Gandhi, Muhammad
Iqbal, B. R. Ambedkar, and Vinayak Savarkar, the founder of
Hindutva, showing how they were innovative political thinkers as
well as influential political actors. She also examines
lesser-known figures who contributed to the making of a new canon
of political thought, such as B. G. Tilak, considered by Lenin to
be the "fountainhead of revolution in Asia," and Sardar Patel,
India's first deputy prime minister. Kapila argues that it was in
India that modern political languages were remade through a
revolution that defied fidelity to any exclusive ideology. The book
shows how the foundational questions of politics were addressed in
the shadow of imperialism to create both a sovereign India and the
world's first avowedly Muslim nation, Pakistan. Fraternity was lost
only to be found again in violence as the Indian age signaled the
emergence of intimate enmity. A compelling work of scholarship,
Violent Fraternity demonstrates why India, with its breathtaking
scale and diversity, redefined the nature of political violence for
the modern global era.

Nullius is an anthropological account of the troubled status of
ownership in India and its consequences for our understanding of
sovereignty and social relations. Though property rights and
ownership are said to be a cornerstone of modern law, in the Indian
case they are often a spectral presence. Kapila offers a detailed
study of paradigms where proprietary relations have been erased,
denied, misappropriated. The book examines three forms of negation,
where the Indian state de facto adopted doctrines of terra nullius
(in the erasure of indigenous title), res nullius (in acquiring
museum objects), and, controversially, corpus nullius (in denying
citizens ownership of their bodies under biometrics). The result is
a pathbreaking reconnection of questions of property, exchange,
dispossession, law, and sovereignty.

The archaeological evidence with regard to embroidery can be traced
back to many ancient civilisations, ranging from Mesopotamia,
Egypt, India, China and Mexico. It bears testimony to the value and
importance given to the art of 'embroidery', both for itself as
well as an instrument of inter-and intra-cultural dialogue, even
political diplomacy. Embroidered fabric adorned royalty. It was
valued at par with music, dance and poetry, and was important
enough to be transmitted from one generation of women to next. Asia
has been the home of many traditions of exquisite genres of
embroideries which have a social context, an artistic form and a
symbolic value.IIC-Asia Project has been, in its second phase,
exploring the manner and method of transmission of knowledge within
each unit and its transmission across borders. The IIC-Asia Project
organised a programme in September 2005 on the theme Sui Dhaga:
Crossing Boundaries through Needle and Thread, comprising a
seminar, an exhibition and a craft demonstration-cum-workshop, in
collaboration with the Crafts Council of India. Through these
inter-locked events, attention was drawn to the role of women who
have demonstrated a high degree of creativity. Through the humble
and ordinary needle and thread, they established many bridges of
communication between and amongst cultures.This volume comprises
some of the essays presented at the seminar by participants ranging
from Palestine, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh and
India. These make explicit the rich tradition of embroidery in a
social, economic and political context.
