Is Covid-19 as Lethal as the Spanish Flu? The Australian Experience in 1919 and 2020 and the Role of Nonpharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs)
We conducted a comparative historical study to interrogate Professor Peter Doherty's warning to Australians in April 2020 that 'COVID-19 is just as lethal as the Spanish flu'. We identified the epicentres of both pandemics, namely, metropolitan Sydney in 1919 and metropolitan Melbourne in 2020 and compared the lethality of the Spanish Flu and COVID-19 in these two cities. Lethality was measured by the number and rate of hospital admissions, death…
India’s Rural Medical Revolution
This article explores the potential conflict between allopathic (‘Western’) medicine and rural beliefs in village goddesses, given that each demands blood for diagnostic purposes and sacrifices, respectively. Our objective is to understand the experiences and attitudes of rural residents to blood tests, blood donations and blood transfusions. We explore the specific question of the extent to which poor villagers in Wardha district, Maharashtra, m…
The Modernisation of South Asia’s Disease Burden
The disease burden in South Asia is complex and multifaceted: old, new, re-emerging and newly recognised conditions all coexist and interact in ways that we have yet to fully understand. The characteristics of COVID-19 have stressed these comorbidities. A discussion on longevity and the theory of epidemiological transition is followed by an analysis of the Indian experience with infectious and non-infectious diseases, injuries and inflammatory co…

Food Security and Traditional Knowledge in India
In this first paper, we explain why traditional knowledge is an important theme in the study of Indian agriculture, especially given the crises routinely facing poor, smallholder farmers. We begin with an overview of some of the key authors who have written about the problems facing small farmers both within and outside India. Different authors have focused on different aspects of the benefits that can be derived from the local knowledge and skil…

Extending Traditional Food Knowledge into New Marketing Institutions for Small Farmers in India
Small farmers, who are normally dependent on marketing intermediaries, have formed themselves into co-operatives in the Indian states of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra and have started to sell their produce directly to consumers via retail outlets, the Internet, urban franchises, mobile vans, rural food hubs and as branded products. The key engine for this marketing experiment is the Sahaja Aharam Producer Company Limited (SAPCO), a pr…
Food from Sewage
This multi-disciplinary paper brings together two bodies of evidence that, to our knowledge, have not before been combined: literature about the efficient functioning of the East Kolkata Wetlands in the production of fish is juxtaposed against scientific research that documents the heavy metal pollution of those Wetlands caused by industries such as tanneries. Our primary question is whether it is safe to eat the fish (and other produce) of the W…
In Memory of Professor Tapan Raychaudhuri (8 May 1926–26 November 2014)
Professor Tapan Raychaudhuri, the eminent economic historian of India, had a special relationship with Australian scholars of South Asia. In 1969, he was a visiting professor at the University of W

Mumbādevī and the Other Mother Goddesses in Mumbai
Mumbādevī is the patron Goddess of the city of Mumbai, one of the largest and most cosmopolitan cities of Asia. Local traditions say that Mumbādevī was a Koḷī Goddess and worshipped by the indigenous Koḷī fisher community for centuries. However, since the turn of the twentieth century the temple of Mumbādevī and the rituals surrounding the Goddess have gradually been Sanskritised. Today, Mumbādevī is more closely associated with the Gujarati comm…
Understanding the 1993 Mumbai Bombings

Dalit responses to unemployment in contemporary India
Given the rapid rise of unemployment in India, how is this affecting the new generation of college-educated dalits? An earlier paper described the current generation of college-educated dalit students as the ‘breakthrough generation’, because their numbers and educational achievements mark a distinctive break with the past.1 1 Marika Vicziany, ‘The Breakthrough Generation: Dalit Youth in Contemporary India’, in Harvard Asia Quarterly, Vol.VI, no.…

Security in South Asia
This paper explains why Australian scholars have taken such an intense interest in regional security in South Asia and the Asia-Pacific. In so doing, it explores the growing domestic controversy about the Australia–United States alliance that has seen the former adopt an international position increasingly dependent on the latter's foreign and defence policies. As a result, Australia's capacity to play the role of a neutral, middle-ranking power …
State responses to Islamic terrorism in western China and their impact on South Asia
The demand by some elements of the Uygur ethnic minority in China for a separate state of East Turkestan has a long history pre-dating 9/11. Since 11 September, however, the Chinese government has insisted that these separatists are no different from other Islamic terrorists that are the focus of the global 'War against Terror'. An examination of official and non-official sources suggests, however, that Uygur terrorism in western China reached it…

HIV and Aids in India
This paper sets out to describe the characteristics of HIV/AIDS in India, especially in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, and how Australian technology is being transferred to India to assist with the control of this epidemic. Specifically, the paper looks at Australian involvement in the Ansell-Raymonds joint venture, which manufactures the Kamasutra condom. To begin with, however, the problem of HIV/AIDS and its control in India is set i…
HIV/Aids in Maharashtra
This is the second in a series of two articles (the first appeared in Contemporary South Asia , 10:1) on HIV/AIDS in India and the transfer of Australian technology to assist with bringing the epidemic under control. It is estimated that between five and eight percent of India's HIV infections have occurred through contaminated blood supplies. Australian blood technology has been identified as international best practice, and this article examine…

The Untouchables
The Untouchables
In a sensitive and compelling account of the lives of those at the very bottom of Indian society, Oliver Mendelsohn and Marika Vicziany explore the construction of the Untouchables as a social and political category, the historical background which led to such a definition, and their position in India today. The authors argue that, despite efforts to ameliorate their condition on the part of the state, a considerable edifice of discrimination per…
Imperialism, Botany and Statistics in early Nineteenth-Century India
Buchanan arrived in India in 1794 and left in 1815. He was employed by the East India Company for these twenty years in a number of capacities but he is chiefly remembered today for two surveys he conducted: the first of Mysore in 1800 and the second of Bengal in 1807-14. These surveys have long been used by historians, anthropologists and Indian politicians to depict the nature of Indian society in the early years of British rule. Recently econo…
Coercion in a Soft State
The coercion practiced during the Indian of the mid 1970s during which government officials of all kinds virtually forced men to accept vasectomies is contrasted with the voluntary nature of the family planning program prior to these events. The author argues that this assumed voluntarism is a deeply entrenched idea though not basically correct. The idea is based on 3 supports which the author examines in turn: 1) Gunnar Myrdals notion of India a…

Coercion in a Soft State
The family planning program in India has not been a success despite much official promotion. The author points out that in the period she studied (the late 1960s and early 1970s) those who did submit to vasectomies were often coerced into doing so refuting a generally held notion that the Indian birth control program was voluntary. The amount of participation in the vasectomy program varied from state to state and more highly economically develop…
