        The beginning of the year is the time for IFP to take into account the collaborations with its
        associated researchers and to renew them. Thus, new collaborators have joined us on
        various ongoing projects, offering new perspectives to our approaches. These last months
        have also been the occasion to welcome a large number of trainees, who will strengthen our
        teams and will be able to experience collaborative work in a research environment. We hope
        that this will be an opportunity for them to better understand how research questions are
        addressed and what processes they will go through in order to provide insights, in which they
        will participate at their own scale. The entire IFP team welcomes them into an environment
        that we hope will be as open as possible for exchanges for all of us.

        If many of our researchers and students have been back to fieldwork these last months trying
        to compensate the lack of data from last year's lockdown, the COVID situation changed
        dramatically in India, even so less in the South than in the North from now. As all institutions,
        we recently have been obliged to postpone the research on the field to not participate in the
        spread of the pandemic and protect all of us. Let's all take care of each other

The members of the Observatory of Rural Dynamics and
       Inequalities in South India (ODRIIS), based at the IFP, set
       up a research-action project to analyse direct socio-
       economic effects of the COVID-19 crisis. The project
       COVINDIA (“Appuyer, comprendre et valoriser les pratiques
       de solidarités villageoises en Inde du Sud”), was selected
       by a flash call on the pandemic by the Agence Universitaire
       de la Francophonie (AUF) among 92 projects in 44
       countries, the only one selected for India. It has three main
       objectives: (i) to relieve vulnerable households living in the
       NEEMSIS villages of Cuddalore and Villupuram districts by
       providing emergency food distribution with the help of
       SHGs; (ii) to conduct qualitative fieldwork to reflect on the
       consequences of the COVID-19; (iii) to produce a film
       documentary on the living conditions of rural population in
       Tamil Nadu during the pandemic.

       A short and preliminary version of the documentary is now
       visible here: WATCH VIDEO . This first documentary has
       been largely publicized by the IRD as part of projects lead
       by women to face the COVID-19 consequences over the
       world (newsletter IRD ; Canal-U TV ; Le Mag’ IRD).

       This short documentary is part of a broader project of long
       documentary to observe the itinerary of labour migrants
       before, during and after the Indian lockdown, thereby
       accounting for living conditions in rural areas of Tamil Nadu.

NEEMSIS 2 data collection in the village of Semakottai (source: Radhika, enumerator of NEEMSIS 2)

        The data collection of the survey NEEMSIS 2 (Networks, Employment, dEbt, Mobility and Skills
        in India Survey) started in October 2020 is still ongoing in villages of the Cuddalore and
        Villupuram districts. NEEMSIS 2 will become the third wave of a longitudinal data collection
        following the same population of households since 2010 (RUME survey) and 2016-17
        (NEEMSIS 1). These surveys aim at understanding the links between labour, skills, debt,
        social and professional mobility and social networks formation in South India. NEEMSIS 2
        included questions on the effects on COVID-19 in rural areas for different modules. Preliminary
        results, extracted from a reduced sample (half of the final sample), highlight huge difficulties to
        have access to food, and a decline of food quality.

        The NEEMSIS 2 is about to start surveying new households, which were not part of the sample
        in 2010 and 2016.

   conditions from the export market abroad, natural
   disasters such as the tsunami and growing
   incidence of lesser returns. In the area that we
   are focusing our study, we currently witness a
   substantial return of shrimp farming in the villages
   of T.S.Pettai, Pichavaram and Killai.

   These are the villages where agriculture
   continues to play a vital role in their local
   economies. However people of these villages
   erceive a drastic ecological change causing
   radical changes in their livelihood options. The
   increasing salinity in their soil is their reason to
   take to aquaculture. The river Uppanar to them
   became a consistent to aggravate salinity along
   with other factors such as lesser flow of fresh
   water from the rivers flowing into and from the
   Kollidam, psource of salinity which promoted this
   shift to shrimp farming while previously it was only
   practiced in its vicinity. This became an ‘inevitable
   option’ say most of them. It is curious that people
   involved in farming do not see their own practice
   as contributing along the northern most margins
   of the crisis ridden Kaveri delta. The often
   irreversible ecological damage that shrimp
   farming causes is relegated by certain people
   while most people suffer due to increasing salinity
   affecting basic needs such as quality drinking
   water in the villages near by. The conflicts arising
   due to ecological changes and investment options

   the fisher community.

   It is the most important single large species in
   Indian marine fisheries in terms of volume in
   landing contributing 17- 20 % of total fish catch.
   Historically, the western coast, especially Kerala,
   is known for significant sardine catch. The sardine
   crisis in Kerala started at the turn of this decade,
   indicating a decline of more than 82%. The
   reason for the crises was attributed to climate
   change as well as over fishing. The abundance of
   jellyfish, mismatch in phytoplankton productivity,
   young fish predators and climate change effects
   have negatively affected their prevalence in the
   western coast. Emergent crisis in that coast
   opened up market openings in the Eastern coast,
   not to mention the conflicts that came along with
   it.

   The expansion of sardine fishery in the East
   witnessed the transition of small scale fisheries to
   ring seine fishing. Large scale ring seine fishing
   marginalized the small fishers who primarily used
   drift nets as their gear. Cuddalore coast’s fishing
   community is literally divided into two camps –
   villages supporting and using ring seine headed
   by the big hamlet of Devanampattinam and the
   rest of the fishers, primarily small fishers headed
   by the hamlet of Samiyarpettai. The small fishers
   allege that ring seining depletes fish stocks as it
   harvests entire shoals leaving nothing for them.
   Also, there is an argument that only a section

The main focus of the Laboratory of Palynology & Paleoecology is pollen grains dispersed by
   flowers that eventually settle down in sediments and remain preserved for several thousands of
   years as an evidence (proxy) of the plant that produced them. Where pollen preservation is poor
   and where it is essential to identify past agricultural practices, complementing pollen studies with
   studies on the opal silicate bodies of plants, phytoliths give an additional plant proxy and more
   information about the past environment.

   This picture shows the laboratory process for extracting phytoliths for microscopic study: this uses
   a heavy liquid (Zinc Bromide density solution - the coloured liquids in the picture at 3 densities:
   1.5, 2, 2.35 ) to float the phytolith residue from the greyish mineral residue in the goblets adjacent
   to the coloured liquids and recovered using a Pasteur pipette.

             The aesthetic, professional and mnemonic lives of India’s circuses

             Due to its cosmopolitan origin, its itinerant nature, its modernist, yet ever-nostalgic
             aesthetic, the circus occupies a marginalized and ambivalent position in the field of
             Indian performing arts, ever since the profession’s early days on the subcontinent in the
             1840s. While this position is arguably a feature of big-top circuses worldwide, the Indian
             circus has enduringly been cast as “foreign” and anachronistic in Indian society, given
             the challenges it posed to the longstanding influence of caste and religion on the
             structuring of professional milieus, as well as the religious and state-sanctioned forms of
             inter-species cooperation. Building on over 15 months of ethnographic and archival
             engagement with the professional community that sustains this industry, I argue that the
             identity and recognizability of the circus as a cultural form owes to the conjunction of
             three distinct temporalities respectively tied to (1) the uptake and innovation of an
             imported entertainment form and its local development over almost 180 years; (2) the
             constitution of the circus as an Indian industry, through interactions and competitions
             among circus owners; (3) the construction of mnemonic narratives and biographical
             accounts around circus-related experiences by members of the circus community. I
             argue that it is through conflations of aesthetic, professional and biographical temporal
             horizons that the seemingly unchanging cultural identity of the circus as a “dying art”
             emerges in India.

             The circus’ uncertain projection of time, and its conversion into nostalgia as an element
             of the show, makes it an ideal site for symbolic investments. The exceptional and open-
             ended quality of the circus’ public image has repeatedly been seized by external actors
             who have used it (as a site for governmental and diplomatic representation since the
             1860s; an exotic set for India’s film industries since the 1950s; or as a site of abuse
             used by NGOs defending the rights of children and animals since the 1990s) to bolster
             their own moral and political scenarios and messages. READ MORE

MoSS#8 [Making of Social Sciences] Monday, 29th February 2021 at 10:00
             am at the French Institute of Pondicherry.

             Dr. Marie-Hélène Zérah, research director in Urban Studies, French National
             Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD), to present her latest book.

             When India urbanizes. Essential services and the paradox of a bricolage
             urbanism

             How can one explain the lack of
             universalization of water, sanitation and
             electricity services in India despite a high
             and continuous economic growth over the
             last 30 years? That is the opening question
             of this book that attempts to depict the
             multiple paradoxes of an urbanizing India,
             while paying attention to both large
             metropolises and urbanized villages,
             including medium-sized towns. The
             proliferation of “spatialized configurations to
             access essential services” serve as an
             analyzer to bring to light the variety of
             territorial dynamics and the persistence of
             very strong socio-spatial inequalities. The
             book is structured around varied analytical
             lenses, including the assessment of urban
             public policy mobilities, the variegated
             forms of urban capitalism, the
             modernisation of public organizations and
             the place of urban practices and civil
             society. Beyond the reductive paradigm of
             the “neoliberal city”, the author shows the
             reality of a bricolage urbanism made of a
             creative – and innovative – tension between
             repertoires of collective action.

19th October 2020 : « Le Yoga à la conquête de l’Ouest » dans LSD, série
             documentaire sur France Culture.

             A radio programme by Raphaël Voix

             Raphaël Voix was invited Elodie Maillot to talk about the
             history of yoga in the west for a four-episode radiophonic
             documentary on France-culture.

             « You don't need a lockdown or the explosion of meditation
             apps to see it, yoga is everywhere: hanging from a wifi feed in
             our apartments, on Instagram, in prisons, businesses,
             hospitals, political speeches, department stores, and even as
             the headline of the back-to-school literary hit.

             Yoga also came into my life, somewhat by accident, as it has
             for 300 million people around the world. To imagine this
             series, I practiced and recorded dozens of hours of classes, I
             went to spend a week in the oldest yoga festival in Europe, I
             met researchers, masters, teachers, French, American and
             English, yoga practitioners, but also an influencer, business
             leaders, management teachers, and even a biologist, winner
             of the Nobel Prize for Medicine!

             This radio series is not a "wellness" course. The idea here is
             to tell another story of yoga, subjective and alive, through
             experiences, encounters, and personal reflections ».

25th March 2021 : La Bhagavadgītā, une œuvre universelle ?

             A radio programme by Raphaël Voix

             Raphaël Voix, (CNRS, IFP) was recently invited by Adèle van Reeth in Les Chemins de
             la philosophie to explain how the Bhagavadgītā became a transnational object.

             « Gandhi, Einstein, Martin Luther King: many personalities have quoted the Gītā, which
             has become the most widely read and translated popular work of the Indian tradition.
             But how did its uses allow for the justification of opposing positions, both on violence,
             and equality between individuals? »

             When on July 16, 1945, Oppenheimer, the scientific director in charge of the production
             of the first atomic bomb, witnessed the first test in the New Mexico desert, the sight of
             the immense mushroom cloud immediately brought to mind... the Bhagavadgītā, the
             two-thousand-year-old Indian text that also inspired Thoreau, Mandela, and before
             them, the German Romantics.

             But what is it about this short text recounting the appearance of the god Krishna to the
             warrior Arjuna on a battlefield that gives it a universal significance L'invité du jour :

19th to 28th January 2021 : Exhibition on The Five French Settlements in
             India as Recorded in Eighteenth-Century Plans (1673-1824)

             Until the middle of the 18th century, the
             French establishments in India were
             prosperous fortified towns, with
             administrative buildings, warehouses,
             markets, temples and churches.
             Pondicherry was then the most beautiful
             town of the Coromandel Coast, with a
             splendid palace, “a small Versailles”, which
             was the admiration of all visitors.
             Unfortunately, the establishments were
             systematically destroyed by British troops
             and almost nothing remains today of their
             civilian and military constructions.

             This exhibition was therefore:
             - an introduction to the history of the old
             French establishments in India;
             - and an inventory of their vanished
             monuments.

             Conceived and realised by the late historian
             Dr Jean Deloche, long-time member of the
             École française d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO)
             and associate researcher of the French
             Institute of Pondicherry (IFP), the exhibition
             was inaugurated on 18th January 2021 by
             Mme Lise Talbot Barré, Consul General of
             France in Puducherry and Chennai. Jointly
             organised by the IFP, the Alliance française
             de Pondichéry and the Pondicherry Centre
             of the EFEO in collaboration with the
             Tourism department, Government of
             Puducherry, it was held as part of the
             Pondicherry Heritage Festival, 2021.

             Over 300 persons visited the exhibition
             despite the Covid restrictions. Among the
             important visitors were the German Consul
             General in Chennai, the Director of the
             National Book Trust, Delhi and the recently
             retired Chief Secretary of Goa.

2nd February, 2021 : 3rd WETLAND PHOTO CONTEST
             World Wetlands Day 2021: Photo Exhibition on Wetlands and Water
             To mark the occasion of the World Wetlands Day
             2021 (Feb 2nd), a Photo Exhibition based on the
             theme “wetlands and Water” was inaugurated by
             Mme. Lise Talbot Barré, Consul General of France in
             Puducherry in the presence of Smt. Smitha. R, I.A.S.,
             Secretary, Science, Tech & Envt., Govt of
             Puducherry.
             World Wetlands Day is celebrated every year in
             February to raise public awareness about the
             importance and value of wetlands. This day marks the
             date of the adoption of the International Convention
             on Wetlands on 2 February 1971, in the Iranian city of
             Ramsar on the shores of the Caspian Sea. In 2021
             we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of this
             convention.

             The IFP has organised the 3rd Wetland Photographic
             competition. All contest entries submitted by January
             10, 2021 were evaluated by jury members and the
             results were announced during the inauguration of
             the exhibition of photographs at the French Institute
             of Pondicherry. Winning photographers received a
             Prize and a Certificate of appreciation. To celebrate
             this occasion, the best award winning photographs
             from the year 2019 to 2021 has been compiled into a
             form of a booklet. This booklet will certainly help to
             think about wetland preservation as well stimulate
             new bridges between science and society to nurture
             public policies that further improve water and
             environmental management.

             The main objective of the programme is to raise
             public awareness of the rich cultural and natural
             heritage values of regional wetlands. The
             photographs of the contest winners have been
             exhibited in the main hall at the French Institute of
             Pondicherry for two months.

             The Photo contest was supported by the French
             Agency for Development (AFD), Indo-French
             Foundation for Research and Heritage and Marutham
             Photos. It was part of he Pondicherry Heritage
             Festival.

3rd to 9th February, 2021 : Food platform event 2021

             For the 3rd year, from February 3rd to 9th , a 7-day event of
             the Pondicherry Food Platform has been organized by IFP in
             close interaction with different stakeholders (the University,
             farmer’s organizations, NGOs, a cultural center, a restaurant,
             the national networks of Fair Trade Twin Towns and Venkalp
             Sangam (through the Social Entrepreneurship Association),
             etc. This platform is an occasion to share reflections within a
             multi-actor network on the theme of food sovereignty and the
             transition to agro-ecology (The science-society platform that
             already exists for a local food system in Pondicherry). The
             platform creates the conditions for an inter-knowledge and a
             shared trust between members that favors the implementation
             of research and action-research projects based on scientific
             objectives and methodologies articulated to societal concerns.

             The week has been organized around numerous moments
             such as a discussion between the Minister of Agriculture, the
             Nabard bank for agriculture development, and a group of
             farmers and city dwellers, a photo exhibition followed by two
             days of field visits and a two day-workshop around four topics:
             Food as a commons/Food, health and nature/Food justice and
             democracy/Rural (women) entrepreneurship. One of the
             objectives has been to link the Pondicherian initiative to similar
             actions carried out in India and in France (around the
             Territorial Food Projects – PAT).

             The Food Platform is more specifically the support of research
             projects in interdisciplinary (between the social sciences and
             ecology department) : i) on bees and pollination (POLLIN
             project, funded by CNRS-MITI) in the context of climate
             change, ii) on knowledge and use of edible wild plants in the
             urban context (specifically the leafy vegetables commonly
             eaten), iii) on food security, justice and democracy – how to
             think a quality food for all social classes - in cooperation with
             the Region Centre Val de Loire (PATAMIL project). The
             objectives of these scientific projects and some preliminary
             results were presented during the workshop and the field days
             were an opportunity to show to a large audience the interest of
             the researches conducted on these subjects at IFP.

Ruhuna Internationale Science and Technology Conference
             Several members of IFP have participated to Ruhuna International Science and
             Technology Conference « RISTCON2021 » during a session dedicated to
             SEDRIC@SriLanka. This important milestone of our project enabled exchanges
             amongst partners from various universities (ICES, Ruhuna university, Eastern
             University, University of Peradeniya) and various discipline (Ecology, Geography,
             Anthropology).

             The World Sparrow Day function has been organised at IFP by Indigenous
             Biodiversity Foundation on the 20th April 2021. Nest boxes have been distributed
             to increase the population of sparrows and to create awareness about sparrows
             among the youth of Pondicherry.

                                                      protagonists themselves, anxious to control

                                                  anthropologists who deal with environmental
                                                  issues from different perspectives, objects and
                                                  methods. It shows how these issues cannot be
                                                  dissociated from social issues and power
                                                  relations between social groups, between the
                                                  central and federated states, between
                                                  development and protection, and between
                                                  productivism and the creation of new
                                                  ontologies.

This volume brings together a broad range of
                                                     scholarship on various aspects of
                                                     multilingualism in South India and Sri Lanka,
                                                     particularly with respect to written sources from
                                                     the pre-modern world. Although the rich
                                                     linguistic diversity of both regions has long been
                                                     acknowledged, the consequences of this variety
                                                     on linguistic and literary developments has
                                                     rarely been explored, and never with the
                                                     breadth that is offered here. Our contributions
                                                     examine the nature and discursive functions of
                                                     multilingualism, largely from the perspective of
                                                     philology, in a diverse array of literary, linguistic,
                                                     and cultural contexts. Some of the contributors
                                                     bring their particular expertise to bear on the
                                                     mutual influence of the Sanskrit and Tamil
                                                     worlds, while others examine the complex
                                                     linguistic, religious, and cultural negotiations
                                                     evident in the literary products of authors writing
                                                     in Arabic, Pali, Sinhala, Telugu, and Malayalam.
                                                     Many of them also cite and translate
                                                     paradigmatic examples. This volume is an

                                                           traditionally counted among the "Ten Songs"
                                                           (Pattuppāṭṭu), one of the two main subdivisions
                                                           of the old Tamil Caṅkam corpus. Taking the
                                                           form of a long monologue in which the female

                                                           lovers' union. The text, newly edited on the
                                                           basis of all surviving manuscripts, is published

                                                           great 14th-century scholiast Nacciṉārkkiṉiyar.
