Event Description : "The Silk Roads as Metaphor" a talk by Dr. Arup Banerji.

Even as the term Silk Roads has become a byword for transregional strategic and infrastructural initiatives, its ancestry in the old routes themselves is now tenuous. Was the term itself ever accurate?

Speaker : Dr. Arup Banerji, historian and author of Old Routes: North Indian Nomads and Bankers in Afghan, Uzbek and Russian Lands

Chair : Dr. Hari Vasudevan
