திரு. கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தி,
உங்கள் மடல்கள் கேரளா தமிழ்ப் பேராசிரியர்கள்
கூறிவற்றை நினைவுக்கு கொண்டுவருகின்றன.
திருவனந்தபுரம் மன்னர் ஆட்சியில் எல்லா உயர்
பதவிகளும் நெல்லை தமிழ் பிராமணர்கள் வைத்திருந்தனர்.
அதை மாற்ற முதலில் நாயர்கள் சொசைட்டி ஆரம்பித்தனராம்.
இது சம்பந்தமாய்,
கனடாவில் பிறந்து ஆஸ்திரேலியாவில் சரித்திர
பேராசிரியர் ராபின் ஜெஃப்ரி பல கட்டுரைகள் எழுதியுள்ளார்.

Curriculum Vitae
Biographical Statement
I was educated at the University of Victoria in British Columbia,
Canada (BA, 1967) and the University of Sussex in the UK (D.Phil.,
1973). I first worked as a journalist on the Daily Colonist in
Victoria, BC (1963-7). I taught school in Chandigarh in north India
for the Regional Institute of English and the Canadian University
Service Overseas (CUSO) from 1967-9 before doing a doctorate in modern
Indian history at Sussex. I came to the ANU as a research fellow from
1973-8 and taught in the Politics Program at La Trobe University in
Melbourne from 1979-2005.
My special interest is in the modern history and politics of India. I
have written about both Punjab in the north and Kerala in the south
and have most recently worked on the Indian newspaper industry and on
Indian media more generally.
Research Interests
I maintain an interest in matrilineal societies, particularly in
Kerala in south India, which arose from my doctoral thesis, later
published as The Decline of Nayar Dominance. Having worked as a
teacher in Punjab, I was driven to try to understand the Khalistan
secessionist movement that arose from 1981. This resulted in What's
Happening to India? and a continuing interest in ethnicity,
nationalism and identity formation. My two other interests are
"development" in a wide sense (Politics, Women and Well-Being) and
newspapers and media (India's Newspaper Revolution).
My current substantial project is an account of India in the second
half of the twentieth century, based on portraits of the six years in
which the great Kumbh mela was held (1942, 1954, 1966, 1977, 1989 and
2001). Provisionally entitled "Slices of India," the project tries to
capture the drama of change by drawing attention to the contingencies
that decide what paths are followed and what paths, though apparently
promising, are ultimately ignored.
Teaching
I taught Years 6 and 7 in a government school in Chandigarh from
1967-9. I learned a lot and came to enjoy teaching. (Hockey with a
mango seed for a ball and tree branches for sticks is pretty
captivating when you're 22). I tutored in the Faculty of Asian Studies
at the ANU from 1973-7 and have taught first-year classes at La Trobe
every year I've been on duty since 1980. I have taught in broad
introductory "study of Asia" courses, as well as courses about India
and its neighbours, peasants and politics, nationalism and state
formation and media and politics.
Outreach
I have tried to work with school teachers (partly through the Asia
Education Foundation) and with media people. I try to accept
invitations to teacher professional-development activities. As an ex-
sportswriter, I enjoy trying to write for periodicals about issues
that I feel are important and that I know something about. At La Trobe
University, we founded a La Trobe Politics Society in 1993, which
involves staff, students, ex-students and the community and had run
more than 60 events with more than 100 speakers by the end of 2005.
Activities
I attended the foundation meeting of the Asian Studies Association of
Australia (ASAA) in the Coombs Lecture Theatre of the ANU in January
1975, edited ASAA's early newsletter, was organizing secretary for the
1996 conference at La Trobe University and have been an office bearer
in 1988-92 and 2000-04. I have been on the advisory board of the Asia
Education Foundation (AEF) since its inception in 1992. I am a Fellow
of the Australian Academy of the Humanities and of the Academy of the
Social Sciences of Australia.

Curriculum Vitae
Biographical Statement
I was educated at the University of Victoria in British Columbia,
Canada (BA, 1967) and the University of Sussex in the UK (D.Phil.,
1973). I first worked as a journalist on the Daily Colonist in
Victoria, BC (1963-7). I taught school in Chandigarh in north India
for the Regional Institute of English and the Canadian University
Service Overseas (CUSO) from 1967-9 before doing a doctorate in modern
Indian history at Sussex. I came to the ANU as a research fellow from
1973-8 and taught in the Politics Program at La Trobe University in
Melbourne from 1979-2005.
My special interest is in the modern history and politics of India. I
have written about both Punjab in the north and Kerala in the south
and have most recently worked on the Indian newspaper industry and on
Indian media more generally.
Research Interests
I maintain an interest in matrilineal societies, particularly in
Kerala in south India, which arose from my doctoral thesis, later
published as The Decline of Nayar Dominance. Having worked as a
teacher in Punjab, I was driven to try to understand the Khalistan
secessionist movement that arose from 1981. This resulted in What's
Happening to India? and a continuing interest in ethnicity,
nationalism and identity formation. My two other interests are
"development" in a wide sense (Politics, Women and Well-Being) and
newspapers and media (India's Newspaper Revolution).
My current substantial project is an account of India in the second
half of the twentieth century, based on portraits of the six years in
which the great Kumbh mela was held (1942, 1954, 1966, 1977, 1989 and
2001). Provisionally entitled "Slices of India," the project tries to
capture the drama of change by drawing attention to the contingencies
that decide what paths are followed and what paths, though apparently
promising, are ultimately ignored.
Teaching
I taught Years 6 and 7 in a government school in Chandigarh from
1967-9. I learned a lot and came to enjoy teaching. (Hockey with a
mango seed for a ball and tree branches for sticks is pretty
captivating when you're 22). I tutored in the Faculty of Asian Studies
at the ANU from 1973-7 and have taught first-year classes at La Trobe
every year I've been on duty since 1980. I have taught in broad
introductory "study of Asia" courses, as well as courses about India
and its neighbours, peasants and politics, nationalism and state
formation and media and politics.
Outreach
I have tried to work with school teachers (partly through the Asia
Education Foundation) and with media people. I try to accept
invitations to teacher professional-development activities. As an ex-
sportswriter, I enjoy trying to write for periodicals about issues
that I feel are important and that I know something about. At La Trobe
University, we founded a La Trobe Politics Society in 1993, which
involves staff, students, ex-students and the community and had run
more than 60 events with more than 100 speakers by the end of 2005.
Activities
I attended the foundation meeting of the Asian Studies Association of
Australia (ASAA) in the Coombs Lecture Theatre of the ANU in January
1975, edited ASAA's early newsletter, was organizing secretary for the
1996 conference at La Trobe University and have been an office bearer
in 1988-92 and 2000-04. I have been on the advisory board of the Asia
Education Foundation (AEF) since its inception in 1992. I am a Fellow
of the Australian Academy of the Humanities and of the Academy of the
Social Sciences of Australia.
