Indeed, Indian subcontinent was known to China as Western Heaven (tian&nbsp;<em>z<\/em>hu) and there was regular traffic between the two societies since ancient times.&nbsp; Though this traffic came to somewhat slow down from 10th&nbsp;century, it was their interface during the colonial era that was particularly negative.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Swaran Singh, Associate Professor at the Centre for International Politics, Organisation and Disarmament, Jawaharlal Nehru University in a lecture (Aug.23) said it is the period of colonial rule that laid the foundations of mutual suspicions though there existed some links between leaders of their respective freedom struggle all the time.<\/p>\n<p>And since, unlike China, India&#8217;s transfer of power was smooth and we continued with British Indian institutions and policies, China denounced the Indian leadership as bourgeoisie or stooge of Western countries.&nbsp; This defeated their wish to build close friendship and ended in a border war in 1962 followed by a long diplomatic freeze.&nbsp; Though the two have mended their ties since early 1970 and tried to turn the focus to their pre-colonial ties, mutual skepticism continues to slow down the initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"100%\" valign=\"top\" colspan=\"2\">\n<h3 class=\"hdng\">Ballad -of Chandu<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20%\" valign=\"top\">\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"2\" src=\"http:\/\/ignca.gov.in\/images\/nl02305c.jpg\" class=\"sideimg\" width=\"200\" height=\"170\" \/><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"80%\">\n<p>India&#8217;s folk traditions have some of the richest oral literature.&nbsp; The&nbsp;<em>Ballad of Chandu<\/em>, in Garhwal is one such gem.&nbsp; This ballad tells the story of a deadly rivalry between five Phundata brothers and the sixty Kauravas (the latter were defeated).<\/p>\n<p>Prof. William S.Sax, professor of Anthropolgy, South Asia Institute of Hiedelberg, Germany, spoke about this epic in his lecture (Sept. 19).&nbsp; In the ballad the main concerns are not the valour of the Phundata brothers, but rather the pastoral concerns such as grazing taxes and sheep rustling.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Sax, who is an internationally acclaimed scholar on the Garhwal region, described the social and cultural background to the ballad.&nbsp; He also provided translation and partial transliteration of the ballad.&nbsp; He also discussed a recent debate on the relationship between&nbsp;<em>Mahabharata<\/em>&nbsp;(in Sanskrit) and its regional versions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"100%\" valign=\"top\" colspan=\"2\">\n<h3 class=\"hdng\">Ghazal<\/a>&nbsp;in Carnatic Classical<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20%\" valign=\"top\">\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"2\" class=\"sideimg\" src=\"http:\/\/ignca.gov.in\/images\/nl02305d.jpg\" width=\"134\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"80%\">\n<p>Shri.
