Acceptability of ambulance-based telemedicine (ABT) for paediatric emergencies in Karachi, Pakistan
INTRODUCTION: Globally, half of all 6.2 million deaths in children are caused by acute illnesses which can be prevented if diagnosed and treated in time. We hypothesise that long elapsed travel time and delay in care can be tackled using telemedicine. The objective of this study is to determine the acceptability of linking ambulances that transport acutely ill children to a remote paediatric emergency physician using a simple audiovisual device. …
Feasibility of prehospital telemedicine for paediatric emergencies
BACKGROUND: Nearly half of all 4.8 million annual paediatric deaths worldwide are caused by acute illnesses, which are preventable with timely triage, emergency care and prehospital transport. We assessed the feasibility of using telemedicine to connect emergency medical technicians (EMTs) in ambulances with paediatric telemedicine physicians (TMPs) to improve patient care in a low-resource setting. METHODS: We conducted a pilot cluster-randomise…

Akbar's religious world
In the early 1650s in Mughal India ‘Mobad’ (Kai kh usrau Isfandyār) wrote a remarkable work, titled Dabistān , devoted to a description of the world's major religions. He adopted an avowedly objective approach that he strives to maintain throughout. An account of the religious tendencies under Akbar is offered in a long concluding chapter, dedicated to Islam. The account is given in two nearly totally different versions. In Version A, Akbar is cr…
Reason vs. Religion in Medieval India
The pursuit of reason may be defined as the drawing of logical deductions from a study of actual phenomena, and thus be essentially confined to the results gained from access to the various branches of science. It was in Greece where, from the fifth century BCE onward, rational thought was deemed to have developed most. Greek texts exercised undeniable influence on early thought in the Islamic world, Alberūnī’s Kitabu’l Hind being a remarkable pr…
Secular Sciences in an Era of Cultural Change
The establishment of the Delhi Sultanate, 1206, marked the infusion of a new cultural stream to which the religiously neutral term ‘Persianate’ is now attached. Indeed, it added to Sanskrit another language of learning in India, namely, Persian. The change, however, was not just one of an addition to India’s list of literary languages. There was a recognisable extension of knowledge (and area of reflection) alongside the intrusion of an external …
Akbar and His Search for Spiritual Truth
Akbar is celebrated for his policy of religious toleration, studies of which have also necessarily involved an examination of his own religious views. These led to the proposition, once dominant in scholarly discourse, that he wished to establish a religion of his own, namely Dīn-i Ilāhī or ‘Divine Faith’. This view is now widely discounted, but there still seems to be room for assembling material from various contemporary sources in order to tra…
Ṣulḥ-i Kul under Akbar
Akbar’s policy of religious toleration from early in his reign (1556–1605) long remained in need of a theoretical justification, especially one from within the framework of Islamic tradition. At long last, the concept of Ṣulḥ-i Kul, derived from s[ūfic thought, was found to answer the need. Here we bring together evidence from contemporary texts to establish more precisely when the secular conversion of this mystic notion took place and how it ca…
Women in Braj Bhūm (Mathura region)
The article explores documents in the so-called Vrindavan archives from Mughal times to extract information about individual women who appear there as complainants, sellers and donors. It seeks to establish what we can learn about women’s limited rights to inheritance and notes their total exclusion from peasant holdings. An appendix furnishes recorded descriptions (ḥuliya) of women who appeared before the local qāẓī (judge)
Reconstructing Kushan chronology
Taking stock of the epigraphic and other evidence as it now stands, this article argues that Kaμishka’s accession is best placed within the period AD 154–170, with two further precise dates being possible, AD 160 or 170
La Philosophie de l'Histoire. Hommage à Papiya Ghosh
Written in memory of the Indian historian Papiya Ghosh, this article tries to establish a dialogue between two different fields, Philosophy and History, and to see how the History of the past can be reassessed in the light of the modern developments of philosophy. The author analyses the raison d’être of History, which is to Humanity what the personal memory is to the individual. Facts are selected and interpreted as they mirror the historian’s b…
From Ariṭh to Rādhākund
The collections of documents preserved by the temples of Vrindavan and Jaipur and by private individuals have been used to trace the history of a village in Mathura district from the earlier part of the sixteenth to the earlier part of the eighteenth century. The information gathered relates mainly to issues of land control and changes in composition of village population, as the village turned more and more into a holy place for Vaishnavites in …

Reconciling science with Islam in 19th century India
This article deals with the reconciliation of modern science with Islam in 19th century India. This is done through a comparative study of two well known intellectuals and reformers: Syed Ahmad Khan and Jamaluddin Afghani. Both believed that science had been central to early Islam from the 8th to the 13th or 14th centuries, but that the situation had since then reversed. While no attempt is made to go into the early period, it never theless provi…
Ziyā Baranī's Vision of the State
Ziyā Barani, born in a family of scholars and petty officials, had risen to be confidant of Sultan Muhammad Tughlaq of Delhi (r. A.D. 1324- 1351), only to spend the last few years of life in abject poverty. In these years he wrote his most important historical texts, with a clear perspec tive of what the state should do: it should govern through the exercise of pomp, preserve the exclusiveness of the ruling class by barring admit tance to any low…

Potentialities of Capitalistic Development in the Economy of Mughal India
When we ask ourselves the question why India failed to industrialize (and develop a capitalistic economy) either before or after the British conquest, we touch the core of an old and hallowed controversy in which the partisans and opponents of British imperiahsm once confronted each other. To admirers of British rule, generally, it seemed that the fault lay with certain inherent weaknesses in Indian society. The influence of an “enervating climat…

Studying a Colonial Economy-Without Perceiving Colonialism
From the size of India's population alone the economic history of India constitutes an important segment of the economic history of mankind. But with the middle of the eighteenth century, it assumed a further, special significance: subjugated by the first industrial nation of the world, it offered the classic case of the colonial remoulding of a pre-modern economy. Not surprisingly, the changing nature and consequences of this process and all its…

Usury in Medieval India
By convention the medieval period of Indian history is supposed to begin either with the death of Harsha, c. 648, or, as in this study, with the Turkish conquest of Northern India (about the beginning of the 13th century), and to end on the eve of the British conquests (about the middle of the 18th century). Although this sets a very late date for the close of the Indian medieval period, the arrangement is not illogical, since it was only with th…

Capitalism in History
Today as the twentieth century comes to close, with the collapse of socialism in Eastern Europe and the passing away of the Soviet Union, the belief has become widespread that capitalism is the only possible present and future system of economic and social organisation. Even theories of 'mixed' or 'welfare' economies, or of development under state-guidance and protection, which had held the ground in so much of the Third World till the other day,…
