> the panel is about harassment among South Asianists, not about harassment in South Asia
thank you for pointing that out, Allen! An unfortunate deficiency in modern Indological research indeed, given the constant actuality of a problem with an incredibly large number of South Asian women victims in its wake, who suffer serious permanent injuries.
Empathy from abroad appears to be kept within strict limits. This fact, together with the telling silence of (mostly Western) intellectuals in light of the obvious suggests itself as a starting point for another, promising object of research.

Subject: Re: [INDOLOGY] Sexual Harassment
I am at the Madison South Asia conference, and it may be of interest that yesterday morning there was a "Roundtable on Sexual Harassment in the Field of South Asian Studies: a community discussion." I was in a library meeting at the time and did not attend it, not have I heard or overheard any discussion of what was said. The printed program says that abstracts of all papers will be posted on the web once the conference is over. Since the title seems to imply an unstructured discussion rather than papers I suspect nothing from the roundtable will be posted, but some might want to check. If the title is not clear enough, I should specify that the panel is about harassment among South Asianists, not about harassment in South Asia.Allen
