Event Details : 'The Valley of the Kauravas' a talk by Prof. William S. Sax, Head, Department of Ethnology and Executive Director, South Asia Institute, Heidelberg.
The lecture focuses on a remote valley, the Upper Tons River in the Rawain region of the Western Himalayas, where an archaic political form exists in which the local gods, Karna and Duryodhana, “rule” their tiny kingdom through oracles and how this system is rapidly changing and adapting to mainstream Indian society today.

Chair : Ms Neeru Nanda, IAS (Retd)
