Noted playright, actor and scholar Girish Karnad is to deliver the First AK Ramanujan Lecture, as part of a National Seminar, to be held on March 21, 2012 at Ramjas college, University of Delhi. This seminar is being organized by The History Society Ramjas College, in wake of the recent decision of the Academic Council of Delhi University to suppress AK Ramanujan’s scholarly essay, ’300 Ramayanas’ from the Undergraduate syllabus of the University, and in appreciation of the vast range and depth of AK Ramanujan’s intellectual contributions. The seminar will underline the significance of Ramanujan’s work for the Humanities and the Social Sciences and its importance for the understanding of India’s histories and cultures.
