Dear List Members,

I would like to share that I have received an e-mail objecting to Prof. Paturi's thank you. This objection - sent to myself, Prof. Paturi, and the INDOLOGY governing committee - complains that such messages make the forum "busy" and states "It is not necessary to inform the nearly 1000 other members of the list that you are grateful to the author." I have been on the INDOLOGY governing committee for several years, and I do not recall having seen another similar objection for a single, short all-list response.

This is a chilling reminder of the bristling reactions engendered by talking about "inequalities of race and gender" that continue to feature in our discipline. One hopes that we might all take a long look in the mirror and begin to heed Anand Venkatkrishnan's call for moving beyond the "occlusion and absence" that condition the field of Indology.

Dear Colleagues,

I write to share this short blog post, by Anand Venkatkrishnan, on Radcliffe women who studied with Lanman in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

I strongly recommend reading until the end - the final paragraph deserves your attention.
