Cricket Country by Dr. Prashant Kidambi

on Zoom | Charges Rs.500/-
---------------------
Cricket Country is the untold story of how the idea of India was fashioned on the cricket pitch in the high noon of empire. Conceived by an unlikely coalition of imperial and Indian elites, it took twelve years and three failed attempts before an ‘Indian’ cricket team made its debut on the playing fields of imperial Britain in the blazing coronation summer of 1911. This is a capacious tale with an improbable cast of characters set against the backdrop of revolutionary protest and princely intrigue. My talk, which is in two parts, will highlight key episodes in this extraordinary story and illuminate a fascinating and formative period in the history of Indian cricket.
Prashant Kidambi is associate professor of colonial urban history at the University of Leicester. After completing postgraduate degrees in history at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, he was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to pursue a doctorate at the University of Oxford. Kidambi’s research explores the interface between British imperialism and the history of modern South Asia. He is the author of The Making of an Indian Metropolis: Colonial Governance and Public Culture in Bombay, 1890-1920 and the lead editor of Bombay Before Mumbai: Essays in Honour of Jim Masselos.

THE ASIATIC SOCIETY OF MUMBAI
The Literary Club of the Asiatic Society of Mumbai
invites you to a talk by Manil Suri on“How to Build the Universe Using Only Maths”
on Tuesday, 24th January 2023 at 5.00 pm

The Literary Club of the Asiatic Society of Mumbai takes pleasure in inviting you to a talk by author Manil Suri on his latest book “The Big Bang of Numbers: How to Build the Universe Using Only Maths” on Tuesday 24th January at 5 pm in the Durbar Hall of the Society. Dr. Manil Suri is a distinguished Professor in Mathematics, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Maryland, USA.

This talk is specially designed for non-mathematicians, and will reveal connections that mathematics has with the everyday which many may not have thought of before!
Picture yourself at a starting point before anything exists - no matter, no cosmos, not even empty space. Your task is to create the universe, but all you have to work with is, quite literally, ‘nothing’. How do you proceed? Traditionally, you might expect physics or religion to try and answer this question, but what if you turn to mathematics instead? The resulting thought experiment gives an insightful new way of looking at mathematics - one in which you build the numbers out of nothing, and then, through a playful progression of mathematical creation, are able to arguably design everything else in the universe!

Manil Suri, a distinguished Professor in Mathematics, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Maryland, is the author of three best-selling novels - The Death of Vishnu, The Age of Shiva and The City of Devi, which have been cumulatively translated into 27 languages. His co-authored play, 'The Mathematics of Being Human', has been performed at multiple venues, including the American Centre, New Delhi. He is a former ‘Contributing Opinion Columnist', New York Times, for which he has written several essays on India as also on mathematics. His new book, The Big Bang of Numbers: How to Build the Universe Using Only Maths, will be available for purchase and signing after the talk.
Do join us for tea at 4.30 p.m.

- Prof. Mangala Sirdeshpande,Hon. Secretary Asiatic Society of Mumbai
