Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Shyam Ranganathan, "Moral Philosophy and De-Colonialism: The Irrationality of Oppression" (Bloomsbury Academic, 2026)
Q: Could we zoom in on your drawing on the Avasutras for the overarching theme, in particular, in passing, you had equated the Drashtru, the seer, the higher order self with the clear epistemological agent. Could you say more about that, Harbib?
The seer abides in its own essence, existing in an epistemic space of clarity after organizing options; true epistemic agency comes from this authentic essence, and when we fail, we're pulled by our own psychology into influence.
Robert Rouphail, "Cyclonic Lives in an Indian Ocean World: Environment, Disaster, and Identity in Modern Mauritius" (Ohio UP, 2026)
Q: What role does the 1892 cyclone play in understanding later political developments like the 1937 riots?
1892 set in motion institutional and social changes—entitlements, state responsibilities, and claims-making—that later feedback into upheavals like the 1937 riots, showing continuity between environmental crisis and political transformation.
Robert Rouphail, "Cyclonic Lives in an Indian Ocean World: Environment, Disaster, and Identity in Modern Mauritius" (Ohio UP, 2026)
Q: Can you summarize the central argument of your book in terms of how cyclones influence Mauritian identity?
Disasters act as catalysts that intensify debates over inclusion, rights, and belonging, reshaping social contracts and state responses in ways that outlast the storms themselves.
Indology in Canada Conference: A Conversation with Dagmar Wujastyk
Q: Will the event be annual, online, or in-person, and how will format evolve?
The organizers envision an initial in-person conference to establish relationships and a feel for the community, with potential for future formats that could include online components and rotation among Canadian universities. They emphasize inclusivity and a progressive approach to frequency and format based on group input.
Indology in Canada Conference: A Conversation with Dagmar Wujastyk
Q: What gap does the conference fill and why is Canada a good place for it?
The conference addresses a need for community and peer networking among Canadian Indologists, given the country's size and geographic spread. It provides a space to meet, exchange ideas, and foster a sense of identity and collaboration among scholars across institutions, stages of career, and research interests.
