title: Politics and Change in the Madras Presidency, 1884-1894: A Regional Study of Indian Nationalism.
Creators: name: Suntharalingam, Ramanathan
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1966

description: The purpose of this thesis is to describe the process of political change in South India during the decade following the establishment of the Madras Mahajana Sabha in May 1884. Although the inchoate manifestations of early political consciousness could be traced to the 1830's when the Hindus protested against the proselytizing operations of the Christian missionaries and their official allies, a protest which during the early 'fifties crystallized to give birth to the Madras Native Association, it was not until the formation of the Madras Mahajana Sabha that political activity in South India found its organized and self-sustaining momentum. The thesis attempts to reconstruct the events that led to the establishment of the Madras Mahajana Sabha against the background of political convulsions caused partly by the unpopular rule of Grant Duff and partly by Anglo-Indian opposition to Ripon's policies. The ferment that these events produced also precipitated the foundation of the Congress in 1885, though no attempt is made here at any exhaustive discussion of the origins of this body. However, the impact of the Congress on Madras politics is examined in some detail, especially in the light of attempts by the local Congress leaders to unify within the aegis of this organization the various communal and factional groups in the Presidency. The framework of political unity erected at the Madras Congress of 1887, as the closing chapters attempt to show, largely collapsed under the weight of successive crises that overtook the Congress during the early 'nineties. If communal suspicions and separatist tendencies led to the withdrawal of the Eurasians, Muslims and Panchamas, controversies arising from the Cross Bill and the Age of Consent Bill estranged the conservative Hindus and divided the inner circle of the Congress leadership in Madras. The thesis ends by assessing briefly the impact of these divisive factors on the nationalist movement in South India.

description: This is an introductory review of topological field theories (TFTs) called AKSZ sigma models. The AKSZ construction is a mathematical formulation for the construction and analyses of a large class of TFTs, inspired by the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism of gauge theories. We begin by considering a simple two-dimensional topological field theory and explain the ideas of the AKSZ sigma models. This construction is then generalized and leads to a mathematical formulation of a general topological sigma model. We review the mathematical objects, such as algebroids and supergeometry, that are used in the analysis of general gauge structures. The quantization of the Poisson sigma model is presented as an example of a quantization of an AKSZ sigma model.

Shape of Dynamical Heterogeneities and the Stokes-Einstein and Stokes-Einstein-Debye Relations in Suspensions of Colloidal Ellipsoids

description: We examine the role of shape of dynamical heterogeneities on the validity of the Stokes-Einstein (SE) and Stokes-Einstein-Debye (SED) relations in quasi-two-dimensional suspensions of colloidal ellipsoids. For ellipsoids with repulsive interactions, although the orientational relaxation time remains coupled to the structural one, the SED relation by the Einstein formalism shows a breakdown. Strikingly, we find that it is the change in the shape of the dynamical heterogeneities from string-like to compact and not just their presence that results in the breakdown of both the SE and SED relations. On introducing a short-range depletion attraction between the ellipsoids, associated with the lack of morphological evolution of dynamical heterogeneities, the SE and SED relations remain valid even for deep supercooling. Our observations are consistent with numerical predictions.

Antecessorirhyparus

description: Antecessorirhyparus Minkina, 2020
Antecessorirhyparus Minkina, 2020a: 37. Type species Rhyparus octovirgatus Schmidt, 1916, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Antecessorirhyparus is distinguished from other genera of Rhyparini by the combination of the following: Body elongate, parallel sided; length 3.4–5.0 mm. Pronotal lateral margin sinuate, anterior and intermediate lobes weak; costae low. Elytral costal intervals convex, elytral costae only weakly higher than intervals; discomedial costa with postcostal bulb bearing a dorsal tuft of setae; with caudal bulb entire (not deeply notch dorsally in caudal view). Metaventrite lacking lateral depressions on disc. Abdominal ventrite 2–5 strongly crenate along broad anterior groove; with large triangular fovea on each side.
Comments. Prior to this work, Antecessorirhyparus contained two species: A. octovirgatus (Schmidt, 1916) from Fiji (Minkina 2020a), and A. papuanus Minkina & Jákl, 2024, that was recently described from Papua New Guinea (Minkina & Jákl 2024). With the new species described here, we can better define the generic limits of Antecessorirhyparus. The diagnosis above lists characters shared between A. octovirgatus and A. samoaensis, new species. However, several of these characters are not shared with A. papuanus, whose character states are shared with some species of Rhyparus. Based on this refined generic definition, A. papuanus is here transferred to the genus Rhyparus, becoming Rhyparus papuanus (Minkina & Jákl, 2024), new combination. However, R. papuanus remains an unusual species whose affinities within the broadly defined genus Rhyparus remain unclear. In several characters (larger body size, abdominal ventrites having smooth and narrow anterior furrow, abdominal ventrites lacking lateral fossae, dense pronotal punctation, low elytral costae, etc.), R. papuanus is similar to species with a modified female pygidium (Minkina et al. 2022, 2023, 2025). A female of this species may help resolve its relationships.
As discussed by Minkina (2020a), A. octovirgatus and now A. samoaensis, new species, share some characters with Leptorhyparus Howden, 2003 (Howden 2003; Minkina 2020b; Skelley 2021), and Lioglyptoxenus Pittino, 2006 (Pittino 2006). While some characters (abdominal ventrite crenulation and lateral fossa) would indicate closer relationship to other regional taxa like R. guadalcanalensis or R. helophoroides.

What is the force on a magnetic dipole?

description: We show that attempts to modify the force on a magnetic dipole by introducing either hidden momentum or internal forces are not correct. The standard textbook result ${\bf F=\nabla(\bmu\cdot B)}$ is correct even in the presence of time dependent electromagnetic fields. Using this expression for the force, overall momentum (the sum of mechanical and electromagnetic momentum) is conserved in changing electromagnetic fields.
description: This version presents a more compelling argument that the textbook equation for the force on a magnetic dipole is correct, and is needed to preserve overall momentum conservation

title: The Early History of the East Indian Railway, 1845-1879.
Creators: name: Mukherjee, Hena
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1966

description: Amongst different aspects of the economic history of India, the least explored perhaps is the origin, growth and operation of her vast railway system. Compared to the amount of works on all these other aspects of Indians economic history, literature on her railways is very limited. This limited number of works, again, are mainly concerned with the history of Indian railways as a whole and the histories of individual railways, each a potential subject in itself, thus remain yet to be written. The present thesis is an attempt at dealing with the history of one such individual railway, namely, the East Indian Railway. The, history of its long career started in 1845 when the East Indian Railway Company projecting this railway was formed in London and this forms the starting point of our study also. Prom this year, we carry on our review until 1879, the year in which the entire undertaking, as authorised under the contract, was purchased by the Government. The construction of the different portions of this railway during this early period raised numerous problems. The initial problem was that of raising capital which was not available in England nor was there any possibility of its being provided from India. Even after this initial difficulty was overcome, there were other problems - problems of securing labour and materials for the railway since none of these could be procured, generally speaking, from the local sources in India. How these difficulties were overcome and the railway was ultimately built, and what effects it had on the economic history of the area it served, are questions dealt with in this thesis. In treating our subject, we have not, of course, followed any strictly chronological order. All these different questions, such as finance, provision of labour, provision of materials and so on, are viewed in their individual perspectives and are treated in respective chapers and sections.

description: This paper is devoted to the problem of finding characterizations for Cayley automatic groups. The concept of Cayley automatic groups was recently introduced by Kharlampovich, Khoussainov and Miasnikov. We address this problem by introducing three numerical characteristics of Turing transducers: growth functions, Folner functions and average length growth functions. These three numerical characteristics are the analogs of growth functions, Folner functions and drifts of simple random walks for Cayley graphs of groups. We study these numerical characteristics for Turing transducers obtained from automatic presentations of labeled directed graphs.

description: Topological superconductivity is a state of matter that can host Majorana modes, the building blocks of a topological quantum computer. Many experimental platforms predicted to show such a topological state rely on proximity-induced superconductivity. However, accessing the topological properties requires an induced hard superconducting gap, which is challenging to achieve for most material systems. We have systematically studied how the interface between an InSb semiconductor nanowire and a NbTiN superconductor affects the induced superconducting properties. Step by step, we improve the homogeneity of the interface while ensuring a barrier-free electrical contact to the superconductor, and obtain a hard gap in the InSb nanowire. The magnetic field stability of NbTiN allows the InSb nanowire to maintain a hard gap and a supercurrent in the presence of magnetic fields (~ 0.5 Tesla), a requirement for topological superconductivity in one-dimensional systems. Our study provides a guideline to induce superconductivity in various experimental platforms such as semiconductor nanowires, two dimensional electron gases and topological insulators, and holds relevance for topological superconductivity and quantum computation.

description: In this paper, we study Birkhoff-James orthogonality of bounded linear operators and give a complete characterization of Birkhoff-James orthogonality of bounded linear operators on infinite dimensional real normed linear spaces. As an application of the results obtained, we prove a simple but useful characterization of Birkhoff-James orthogonality of bounded linear functionals defined on a real normed linear space, provided the dual space is strictly convex. We also provide separate necessary and sufficient conditions for smoothness of bounded linear operators on infinite dimensional normed linear spaces.

description: There are two notions of approximate Birkhoff-James orthogonality in a normed space. We characterize both the notions of approximate Birkhoff-James orthogonality in the space of bounded linear operators defined on a normed space. A complete characterization of approximate Birkhoff-James orthogonality in the space of bounded linear operators defined on Hilbert space of any dimension is obtained which improves on the recent result by Chmieliński et al. [ J. Chmieliński, T. Stypula and P. Wójcik, \textit{Approximate orthogonality in normed spaces and its applications}, Linear Algebra and its Applications, \textbf{531} (2017), 305--317.], in which they characterized approximate Birkhoff-James orthogonality of linear operators on finite dimensional Hilbert space and also of compact operators on any Hilbert space.

description: The aim of this paper is to establish a lattice theoretical framework to study the partially ordered set $\operatorname{\mathsf{tors}} A$ of torsion classes over a finite-dimensional algebra $A$. We show that $\operatorname{\mathsf{tors}} A$ is a complete lattice which enjoys very strong properties, as bialgebraicity and complete semidistributivity. Thus its Hasse quiver carries the important part of its structure, and we introduce the brick labelling of its Hasse quiver and use it to study lattice congruences of $\operatorname{\mathsf{tors}} A$. In particular, we give a representation-theoretical interpretation of the so-called forcing order, and we prove that $\operatorname{\mathsf{tors}} A$ is completely congruence uniform. When $I$ is a two-sided ideal of $A$, $\operatorname{\mathsf{tors}} (A/I)$ is a lattice quotient of $\operatorname{\mathsf{tors}} A$ which is called an algebraic quotient, and the corresponding lattice congruence is called an algebraic congruence. The second part of this paper consists in studying algebraic congruences. We characterize the arrows of the Hasse quiver of $\operatorname{\mathsf{tors}} A$ that are contracted by an algebraic congruence in terms of the brick labelling. In the third part, we study in detail the case of preprojective algebras $Π$, for which $\operatorname{\mathsf{tors}} Π$ is the Weyl group endowed with the weak order. In particular, we give a new, more representation theoretical proof of the isomorphism between $\operatorname{\mathsf{tors}} k Q$ and the Cambrian lattice when $Q$ is a Dynkin quiver. We also prove that, in type $A$, the algebraic quotients of $\operatorname{\mathsf{tors}} Π$ are exactly its Hasse-regular lattice quotients.

Creators: name: Sato, Noriko
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1996

description: My research is based on twenty months' fieldwork carried out in Qamishly in Syrian Jazirah. The purpose of my study is to examine the lives of women in this community. Why women? The relations among women in this community are close and confidences easily shared; not so, for me, among men. The network path for external communication in this society is contained almost exclusively within the male world. I wished therefore to examine the society from the inside, using the eyes of women, to determine attitudes to ethnic, sectarian and class issues. For me, as a Japanese, a particular area of interest was the extent to which women's concepts of social duty and obligation led to their individuality being subordinated. In this society, the burden of duty and obligation falls most heavily on women. The inhabitants of Jazirah fall into three main groups: local Arabs (Shawaya), Kurds and Christians which are further subdivided into tribes (Arabs and Kurds) or sects (Christians). In my study, I focus on the local Arab tribal confederation known as the Tai. The mechanism by which individuals identify themselves with their grouping, whether religious, tribal or class lies at the root of the whole network of obligations and restrictions on the behaviour of female members of society. Not only do women take care not to fall victim to rumour, speculation or gossip, which in Jazirah is elevated almost to an art form. From the point of view of individual reputation, a woman will also be under pressure from her male kin. The standing and reputation of men in society are also vulnerable to any apparent failure to keep the family women under control. Jazirah women struggle with the dual obligations of ensuring their own and their family's honour and position in society in the context of a rigid social code at the same time as expressing themselves as individual, as personalities and as women. Some succeed.

Rhyparus octovirgatus Schmidt, 1916: 101. Type locality: Fiji, Viti Levu.
Antecessorirhyparus octovirgatus (Schmidt, 1916). Minkina 2020a: 37 (redescription, combination).
Diagnosis. Antecessorirhyparus octovirgatus is distinguished by its small, parallel-sided body, length 3.7–5.0 mm (Figs. 1–3). Pronotum with paramedian costae straight and weakly converging anteriorly (Fig. 4); all intercostal areas flattened, dull, with only minute punctures; lateral margin weakly sinuate, lobes small. Elytron length two times pronotal length; discomedian costa with a caudal tuft of setae long; intercostal areas convex, almost same height as costae; and caudal bulb interrupting juxtasutural costa, which does not attain elytral apex.
Distribution. Fiji (Viti Levu).
Material examined. Holotype female from Fiji, Viti Levu, is deposited in Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, Sweden, labeled NHRS-GULI 000070205, and illustrated by Minkina (2020a). A second female was examined: Fiji: Viti Levu, Mount Victoria, W.M. Mann (1 FSCA). There is no date of collection on the second specimen, but likely 1915–1916 (Mann 1921).
Comment. As expected, there is variation between the two specimens of A. octovirgatus, including the body size (holotype being larger), body color (holotype being nearly black), as well as subtle differences in prominence of costae, puncture sizes, curvature of caudal bulbs, etc. (compare Figs. 1–4 with illustrations in Minkina 2020a). More materials are needed to evaluate these variations. They are within acceptable limits to consider these the same species.

description: We completely characterize extreme contractions between two-dimensional strictly convex and smooth real Banach spaces, perhaps for the very first time. In order to obtain the desired characterization, we introduce the notions of (weakly) compatible point pair (CPP) and $ μ- $compatible point pair ($ μ- $CPP) in the geometry of Banach spaces. As a concrete application of our abstract results, we describe all rank one extreme contractions in $ \mathbb{L}(\ell_4^2, \ell_4^2) $ and $ \mathbb{L}(\ell_4^2, \mathbb{H}) $, where $\mathbb{H}$ is any Hilbert space. We also prove that there does not exist any rank one extreme contractions in $ \mathbb{L}(\mathbb{H}, \ell_{p}^2), $ whenever $ p $ is even and $\mathbb{H}$ is any Hilbert space. We further study extreme contractions between infinite-dimensional Banach spaces and obtain some analogous results. Finally, we characterize real Hilbert spaces among real Banach spaces in terms of CPP, that substantiates our motivation behind introducing these new geometric notions.

title: Conflict of Laws in Nigeria.
Creators: name: Agbede, Isaac Oluwole
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1970

description: The subject of conflict of laws takes on a complexity in Nigeria not only on account of the federal form of government with its separate federal and state laws but more so because of the dual or tripartite system of court and multiplicity of laws which exist within each state frontier. As a result of the recent large increase in the number of the constituent states coupled with the increasing fluidity and frequency in the movements of individuals and groups across unguarded state boundaries, the study of conflict of laws is bound to assume greater prominence in the future than has ever been accorded it in the past. This thesis deals essentially with the problems of choice of law and choice of jurisdiction at the internal, inter-state and international planes. It is, as such, the first of its kind in that context. The work is divided into five parts consisting of eleven chapters. Part I briefly traces the historical development of the tripartite system of court and the pluralism of laws. A brief discussion of the nature and sources of Nigerian rules of conflict of law is also contained in this part. Part II is devoted to problems of choice of law at the inter-local level. Part III is basically concerned with the problems of choice of law at the inter-state and international planes. Part IV examines the conditions governing the application of foreign law under the received (English) law. Part V deals with the problems of judicial jurisdiction of inter-local inter-state and international dimensions.

description: In this paper, we study a question of Hong from 1993 related to the minimum spectral radii of the adjacency matrices of connected graphs of given order and size. Hong asked if it is true that among all connected graphs of given number of vertices $n$ and number of edges $e$, the graphs having minimum spectral radius (the minimizer graphs) must be almost regular, meaning that the difference between their maximum degree and their minimum degree is at most one. In this paper, we answer Hong's question positively for various values of $n$ and $e$ and in several cases, we determined the graphs with minimum spectral radius.

description: In this paper we study some geometric properties like parallelism, orthogonality and semi-rotundity in the space of bounded linear operators. We completely characterize parallelism of two compact linear operators between normed linear spaces $\mathbb{X} $ and $\mathbb{Y}$, assuming $\mathbb{X}$ to be reflexive. We also characterize parallelism of two bounded linear operators between normed linear spaces $\mathbb{X} $ and $\mathbb{Y}.$ We investigate parallelism and approximate parallelism in the space of bounded linear operators defined on a Hilbert space. Using the characterization of operator parallelism, we study Birkhoff-James orthogonality in the space of compact linear operators as well as bounded linear operators. Finally, we introduce the concept of semi-rotund points (semi-rotund spaces) which generalizes the notion of exposed points (strictly convex spaces). We further study semi-rotund operators and prove that $\mathbb{B}(\mathbb{X},\mathbb{Y})$ is a semi-rotund space which is not strictly convex, if $\mathbb{X},\mathbb{Y}$ are finite-dimensional Banach spaces and $\mathbb{Y}$ is strictly convex.

description: We explore the norm attainment set and the minimum norm attainment set of a bounded linear operator between Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces. Indeed, we obtain a complete characterization of both the sets, separately for operators between Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces. We also study the interconnection between these two sets and prove that for operators between Hilbert spaces, these two sets are either equal or mutually orthogonal, provided both of them are non-empty. We also obtain separate complete characterizations of reflexive Banach spaces and Euclidean spaces in terms of the norm (minimum norm) attainment set, in order to illustrate the importance of our study.

description: We completely characterize smoothness of bounded linear operators between infinite dimensional real normed linear spaces, probably for the very first time, by applying the concepts of Birkhoff-James orthogonality and semi-inner-products in normed linear spaces. In this context, the key aspect of our study is to consider norming sequences for a bounded linear operator, instead of norm attaining elements. We also obtain a complete characterization of smoothness of bounded linear operators between real normed linear spaces, when the corresponding norm attainment set non-empty. This illustrates the importance of the norm attainment set in the study of smoothness of bounded linear operators. Finally, we prove that Gâteaux differentiability and Fréchet differentiability are equivalent for compact operators in the space of bounded linear operators between a reflexive Kadets-Klee Banach space and a Fréchet differentiable normed linear space, endowed with the usual operator norm.

description: We study left symmetric bounded linear operators in the sense of Birkhoff-James orthogonality defined between infinite dimensional Banach spaces. We prove that a bounded linear operator defined between two strictly convex Banach spaces is left symmetric if and only if it is zero operator when the domain space is reflexive and Kadets-Klee. We exhibit a non-zero left symmetric operator when the spaces are not strictly convex. We also study right symmetric bounded linear operators between infinite dimensional Banach spaces.

description: We explore extreme contractions between finite-dimensional polygonal Banach spaces, from the point of view of attainment of norm of a linear operator. We prove that if $ X $ is an $ n- $dimensional polygonal Banach space and $ Y $ is any Banach space and $ T \in L(X,Y) $ is an extreme contraction, then $ T $ attains norm at $ n $ linearly independent extreme points of $ B_{X}. $ Moreover, if $ T $ attains norm at $ n $ linearly independent extreme points $ x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n $ of $ B_X $ and does not attain norm at any other extreme point of $ B_X, $ then each $ Tx_i $ is an extreme point of $ B_Y.$ We completely characterize extreme contractions between a finite-dimensional polygonal Banach space and a strictly convex Banach space. We introduce L-P property for a pair of Banach spaces and show that it has natural connections with our present study. We also prove that for any strictly convex Banach space $ X $ and any finite-dimensional polygonal Banach space $ Y, $ the pair $ (X,Y) $ does not have L-P property. Finally, we obtain a characterization of Hilbert spaces among strictly convex Banach spaces in terms of L-P property.

description: Under the Constitution of 1962 the Pakistan election law has assumed importance. This thesis gives a full account of the law of elections. The provisions, as contained in the Electoral College Act, the National and Provincial Assemblies (Elections)Act and the Presidential Election Act have been clearly stated, carefully examined and discussed in the light of decided cases. Chapter one deals with the system of elections the President and members of the Legislatures are indirectly elected by an Electoral College, elected by adult franchise. Chapter two deals with the delimitation of constituencies and electoral units. Chapter three deals with suffrage, the law relating to the qualifications and disqualifications of voters and the electoral rolls. Chapter four is devoted to the candidate in it are examined the qualifications and disqualifications for membership of the Electoral College and the Assemblies, and a statement of the law governing nominations. Chapter five describes the electoral process from notification of the poll to the declaration of the result. Chapter six deals exclusively with the election to the office of the President. Chapter seven deals with election offences examining their efficacy to ensure free and impartial elections. In chapter eight are discussed post election disputes, the law applicable to election petitions and the role of election tribunals. Chapter nine deals with the jurisdiction of superior courts in election matters.

description: The computation of the numerical index of a Banach space is an intriguing problem, even in case of two-dimensional real polyhedral Banach spaces. In this article we present a general method to estimate the numerical index of any finite-dimensional real polyhedral Banach space, by considering the action of only finitely many functionals, on the unit sphere of the space. We further obtain the exact numerical index of a family of $3$-dimensional polyhedral Banach spaces for the first time, in order to illustrate the applicability of our method.

description: We consider an atomic congestion game in which each player $i$ participates in the game with an exogenous and known probability $p_{i}\in(0,1]$, independently of everybody else, or stays out and incurs no cost. We compute the parameterized Price of Anarchy (PoA) to characterize the impact of demand uncertainty on the efficiency of selfish behavior, considering two different notions of a social planner. A prophet planner knows the realization of the random participation in the game; the ordinary planner does not. As a consequence, a prophet planner can compute an adaptive social optimum that selects different solutions depending on the players that turn out to be active, whereas an ordinary planner faces the same uncertainty as the players and can only minimize the expected social cost according to the player participation distribution. For both type of planners we obtain tight bounds for the PoA, by solving suitable optimization problems parameterized by the maximum participation probability $q=\max_{i} p_{i}$. In the case of affine costs, we find an analytic expression for the corresponding bounds.
title: The Family, Property and Succession Among the Northern Ewe-Speaking People of Ghana.

Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1969

description: This thesis is on the law relating to the family, property and succession among the Northern Ewe-speaking people of Ghana. The first Chapter offers a general description of the Ewe in both Ghana and Togo and proceeds to identify the section referred to as the Northern Ewe-speaking people of Ghana. In the second Chapter the political structure is described, showing the area as a congeries of small autonomous chiefdoms, each with its own system of law. In Chapter III the nature of the Ewe family, which is patrilineal, is examined as the unit for purposes of citizenship, succession to hereditary offices, entitlement to ancestral property and assumption of certain obligations. The position of the head of family is considered in Chapter IV where it is submitted that succession to the office is automatic and the holder of the office is accountable but generally irremovable. Chapters V and VI concern interests in land. It is shown that as a rule the respective families hold the paramount title to land, with the dependent interest in the members of the family, and that stool lands as generally understood in Ghana are practically non-existent among the Northern Ewe. In Chapter VII it is explained that, apart from the ancestral family lands, family property is rare among the Northern Ewe. Alienation of interests in property by sale, gift, pledging and tenancy is discussed in Chapters VIII - XII, stating the formalities and the effect of each type of alienation. The law of succession to interests in property is discussed in Chapter XIII. It is shown that succession is not by the family but by individuals as of right and that the interest of a successor is generally that of a purchaser, so that the interest is both alienable and inheritable.

title: The Growth and Development of the Keira Sultanate of Dar Fur.
Creators: name: O'Fahey, Rex Sean
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1972

description: The object of this study is to describe and analyse the main trends in the political history of the Keira sultanate of Dar Far until its incorporation into the Turco-Egyptian Sudan in 1874. In the first two chapters, after a brief description of the geography and ethnography of the Dar Far region, the early history of the area and the various traditions of origin concerning the Keira Sultanate are discussed. Chapter three outlines the early relations between the Keira royal family and the Fur tribe and the expansion of the sultanate under Sultans Sulayman and Ahmad Bukr with the subsequent struggles for power within the ruling group. The growing strength of the sultan's position vis-a-vis his chiefs is the main theme of chapter four and is illustrated in the expansion of the sultanate eastwards into Kordofan, the increasing reliance of the sultans on slaves as soldiers and officials and in the outcome of the succession crisis after the death of Sultan Muhammad Tayrab. With the consolidation of the sultan's power by the reforms of Sultan 'Abd al-Rahman, chapter five describes the establishment of al-Fashir as the capital and the sultanate's relations with the outside world. The last two chapters consider the development of court politics in al-Fashir and the rise of a new class of officials and the decline of the power of the old chiefly class and the Keira family. The sultanate's increasing isolation following the Turco-Egyptian conquest of Kordofan in 1821 and the hostile relations with the Arab tribes of southern Dar Fur are discussed. It was from the south that the final threat to the sultanate came in the form of the invasion of al-Zubayr Rahma in 1874.

title: A Survey of Minor Jataka Poetry in Sinhalese Literature, With Special Reference to the Nevill Catalogue of Sinhala Manuscripts in the British Museum.
Creators: name: De Mel, Sunanda Mahendra
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1972

description: Chapter I, the introductory chapter, deals with the different definitions of Jataka, the place of the Jataka in Buddhist literature, the origins of Jataka, and the place of Jataka in world literature, folklore, painting, and sculpture. Chapter 2 deals with the beginnings of the Jataka tradition in Ceylon and the extent to which the Jatakas spread in Sinhalese society and culture. In Chapter 3, attempt is made to present the various factors relating; to the writing down of the 'Great Collection of Jateika Tales' or 'The Pansiya Panas Jataka Pota' and the impact of the Jatakas on Sinhalese literature. The last chapter, which constitutes the bulk of the work, deals extensively with the individual Jataka Kavi or the independent Sinhalese poetical versions of the Jatakas, most of which are found in the Nevill Collection of Manuscripts in the British Museum; this will enable us to examine the extent to which the Sinhala poets expressed various aspects of life through the themes of the Jatakas.
