Kashmir is known for diverse facets and elements, from its picturesque beauty to its age-old values and traditions passed down to generations. ‘Kashmiriyat’- a term often echoed to reverberate and reiterate the ethnic, nationalistic, and social consciousness of Kashmiris has been debated and discussed in different social, cultural, and literary circles. Ayaz Rasool Nazki’s maiden novel, Satisar: The Valley of Demons (2018), is a literary foray into the rich and glorious past of Kashmir with the undertones of repressive forces of anarchy, highlighting the destabilization of social and political equilibrium. It sheds light on the age-old cultural harmony and religious syncretism that once defined the geographical locale. The paper aims to present how literary output appeals to reclaim the secular glory lost to multiple political power structures over the years. Moreover, it will highlight the erosion of the rich cultural heritage that once delineated the essence of Kashmiriyat. The research objectives would be supported by a relevant theoretical framework to signify the importance of secularism in maintaining peace and stability in a pluralistic society like Kashmir.
克什米尔以多样化的方面和元素而闻名,从其如画的美景到代代相传的古老价值观和传统。”“克什米尔人”这个词经常被用来回响和重申克什米尔人的种族、民族主义和社会意识,在不同的社会、文化和文学界已经进行了辩论和讨论。Ayaz Rasool Nazki的处女作《Satisar:The Valley of Demons》(2018)是对克什米尔丰富而辉煌的过去的一次文学探索,带有无政府镇压力量的暗调,突显了社会和政治平衡的不稳定。它揭示了古老的文化和谐和宗教融合,曾经定义了地理位置。本文旨在展示文学作品如何吸引人们重新获得多年来在多重政治权力结构中失去的世俗荣耀。此外,它将突显曾经描绘克什米尔本质的丰富文化遗产受到的侵蚀。研究目标将得到相关理论框架的支持,以表明世俗主义在维护克什米尔等多元社会的和平与稳定方面的重要性。

In Sexuality and Gender Diversity Rights in Southeast Asia, Anthony J. Langlois offers new perspectives on the nature of implementation of laws, the necessity of rights claiming and the prevalence of violence and discrimination around the lives of LGBTIQ+ people. This book is a call for new public policy and social norms to be (re)formed in Southeast Asian regions for those who are sexually non-conforming, and hence, are treated as second (read lower) class citizens. On the face of rapid socio-political changes and multiple preventive measures taken by the international human rights regime, the book argues that “most Southeast Asian states do not recognise the need for such rights” (1). However, in response to such incapacitated geo-political frameworks, this book considers many civil organisations and their political participation in rights claiming for the “people of diverse sexual orientation, gender identity expression and sex characteristics (SOGIESC)”. This book also attempts to connect the Southeast Asian LGBTIQ+ rights claiming movements to a larger international human rights regime.

Maya Maya, Shabin Shabin
Perumal Murugan is an acclaimed Indian novelist, essayist and poet who writes in Tamil language. He has been hailed by audiences and connoisseurs alike for his excellent storytelling, attention to detail and representation of the brutal realities of the rural agrarian communities of Kongu Nadu Despite the whirlpool of controversies and threats that surrounded Murugan’s life and writings, nothing has deluded him from the path of being a committed writer determined to use writing as a weapon to expose the societal inconsistencies. The present interview revolves around the role of food in his creative works. It includes a discussion of the various culinary traditions and food paradigms of his ancestral village, the reverence for food and environment amongst agrarian communities, the difference that food preferences create amongst people, and the entry of the fast-food culture due to globalization. Along with his other literary works, the interview also briefly discusses his memoir Amma, where Murugan recollects the cherished food memories of his childhood and also of his mother whose values and love for cooking have shaped both his identity and culinary preferences. Murugan’s penning or narrativizing of these memories through various creative forums has assisted in what David Sutton calls as “prospective memory” (163) aiding the process of how people plan to remember meals and how tasty they would be.

Prior to the mid-nineteenth century, Formosa (now Taiwan) was little known to European and American travelers. To explore this terra incognita, plenty of Western explorers, navy investigators, merchants, and naturalist scientists visited Formosa after the opening of Ta-kau Port and Keelung Port for trade in 1860. These travellers made observations and documented the unknown landscapes and species in Formosa and its neighbouring islands. Mostly written in the form of travel journals and natural histories, the works of these Western visitors are pioneering multispecies ethnographies that delineate nineteenth-century Formosa’s flora, birds, land animals and marine animals. This essay focuses on the life accounts and natural histories of an English traveller in this period — Cuthbert Collingwood (1826-1908). It explores the ways Collingwood’s Rambles of a Naturalist on the Shores and Waters of the China Sea represents Formosan marine animals and their habitats. It addresses the following questions: How did Collingwood introduce his readers to understanding marine animals in mid-nineteenth-century Formosa and how did he report his scientific observations on the lives of Formosa’s oceanic species? Did Collingwood evince his appreciation for marine species or express an environmentalist tone? How might Collingwood’s delineation of Formosa’s marine animals reveal an environmental consciousness and proto-ecological sensibilities?

Much has been written about British accounts of colonial Malaya from the perspective of travellers, explorers, novelists, historians and many more. Much also exists on the Malaysian responses to life under the Japanese Occupation. Yet there is a lacuna on scholarship on other European communities that existed alongside the British in Malaya. This paper traces the French oeuvre of the Japanese Occupation of Malaya, especially within the context of food and religiosity. Focusing on a diary written by a French Catholic missionary in Malaya during the Japanese Occupation, it interrogates the aspect of Catholic gastronomic aesthetics through the concepts of the imaginary of incorporation as well as biblical metaphors of commensality. In so doing, the paper presents a different and novel angle to existing conversations on European networks of knowledge production on colonial Malaya, especially within the context of food and colonialism, revealing that not all frameworks of the operations of European colonialism are the same. It also significantly intervenes into and alters the vestiges of a colonial palate that has heretofore remained predominantly British through the foregrounding of a French Catholic cultural perspective that perceptibly adds its own distinct flavour.
