Event Description : HISTORY TALK "Maritime Archaeology and Project Mausam: Reconnecting Across the Indian Ocean"
As part of "Indian Archaeology" Series. 

Speaker: Professor Himanshu Prabha Ray, Hony. Prof. Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich

Chairperson: Prof. Madhu Bhalla, formerly of Delhi University 

This presentation will discuss the Ministry of Culture’s Project Mausam, which was launched at the 38th World Heritage Session at Doha, Qatar on 20th June, 2014 and its implications for maritime archaeology in India. The intertwining of natural phenomena such as monsoon winds or Mawsim in Arabic and the ways in which these were harnessed historically to create cultural networks provide building blocks for contemporary societies, as they work towards universal values and trans-border groupings – both of which underwrite UNESCO’s 1972 World Heritage Convention
