KIZUNA INDIA-JAPAN
STUDY FORUM
Several dimensions of India-Japan cultural ties historically shaped and reshaped by movement of people and goods via a multitude of inter-Asian sea and land routes have remained less researched. The forum aims to unravel and document these relatively under-researched India-Japan historical ties through a series of lectures, seminars and publications.
​
The forum has evolved from deliberation at an International Conference: India and Japan: Unearthing Lesser Known Historical and Cultural Linkages, New Delhi, November 15-17, 2018 and subsequent publication of conference papers and their dissemination as an electronic book India-Japan Narratives: Lesser Known Historical and Cultural Interactions, edited by Sushila Narsimhan (MOSAI Publication 2021, ISBN No: 9 788195 255603). Also a newer hard copy publication is Geographies of Exchange between India and Japan, edited by Sushila Narsimhan and Parul Bakshi (MOSAI Publication, 2024, ISBN 9789391897956).
