Title: The Idea of Delhi Authors: Liddle, Swapna Abstract: The year 1911 marked an important point in the history of Britain’s rule over India. It was when the colonial state took the important decision to shift the capital from Calcutta to Delhi, a move that was seen as “a bold stroke of statesmanship”.A recent study of the official correspondence through which this resolution was finally adopted, reveals the complex motivations that led to it, the most important being to craft an image of an empire that would be more acceptable to the Indians themselves, and thus help to counter the rising national movement.

Title: Imperial Hygiene and Popular Culture in the Colonial Hill Stations in the Indian Himalaya Authors: Pradhan, Queeny Abstract: The nineteenth century European colonialism introduced wide-ranging changes in social, cultural, economic and political spheres in Asia and elsewhere. Recent researches show that the hills occupied a critical position under the British Empire and their concerns on sanitation reveal the anxieties of the Empire in their Himalayan outposts. The present article primarily focuses on the introduction of western medicine and public health policies in the region of Himalaya, in particular, Indian hill stations of Shimla and Darjeeling. The article has two sections: the first section studies the introduction of the western notions of medicine, health and hygiene in the two hill stations. The second section explores the tension between western medical practices and traditional belief systems in the hills.
