Luigi Pio Tessitori - An Italian Life Devoted To India
An outstanding Italian indologist and linguist, Luigi Pio Tessitori was among the first
European scholars to understand the literary significance of medieval Indian languages
and to investigate the evolution of neo-Indian languages. A full-fledged humanist and
a dedicated researcher of all aspects of Indian art and archaeology, he was among the
first to suggest a prehistoric nature of the Indus Valley Civilization. His photographic
plates of Indian life are a loving and significant contribution to the modern Italian
perception of the Indian cultural heritage. He inspired the foundation of the Società
Indologica in Udine, which greatly contributed in recent years together with the
University of Udine to the mutual understanding of Italy and India.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise.
