Weaves Of Tradition with Savitha Suri.

Release of ASM Journal Volume 92

We are happy to share with you that on 26 th November 2024, on the occasion of the 220 th Foundation Day of the Asiatic, the Society has released Volume 92 of the ASM Journal. This is the latest volume of the journal released by the Society. The editors of the journal are Professor Madhu Kelkar and Professor Usha R Vijailakshmi. It has come to the Society's notice that some unscrupulous elements are collecting money for publishing papers in the Society's Journal and are offering bogus certificates. Some of the candidates had mailed these certificates to the Society. These certificates carry the names of the editors of previous volumes. The Asiatic Society does not collect money for publishing research papers in its journal, nor does it guarantee publication, and most importantly it does not issue any certificate. Authors must verify with the Society before submitting any papers, and papers will be published only after rigorous peer review and editing. The Society does not take responsibility for any payments made to third parties claiming to represent the Society, or for their papers appearing in a cloned/spam journal. Ours is a print-only journal. We do not publish the journal online.

The Mumbai Research Center of the Asiatic Society Of Mumbai presents Weaves Of Tradition with Savitha Suri.

Textiles are a key part of cultural heritage, offering insights into a community's socio-economic conditions and lifestyle, yet they're often overlooked in history. The East Indian Christians, original settlers of present-day Mumbai, have a rich but widely unrecognized history and cultural heritage, particularly in traditional textiles.

Savitha Suri's presentation, backed by her ASM-MRC Research Grant, will explore the community's history and the significance of their textiles, including the challenges faced in reviving these traditional crafts.

Date: Tuesday, April 2nd.

Venue: Durbar Hall, The Asiatic Society Of Mumbai

Time: 5.30 (tea at 5pm)

No prior registration needed.
