From 1890s Irish & Indian nationalist causes became very closely aligned. Busts of Yeats & Tagore in Mumbai (NCPA) & Dublin celebrate this.

This week in 1605, Adam Loftus died. He was named as the first Provost of Trinity College Dublin in the foundation charter of 1592.
Tomorrow, after 429 years, we’ll see a first that’s long overdue: the election of a female Provost.

The Indian constitution drew on De Valera’s of 1937, except it was secular.
Dev visited Delhi in 1948 as part of anti-partition tour. Mountbatten’s last act as viceroy was to host him. Ironic given Dev’s role in bringing down the Br Empire!
Commemorated in a street name.😉

If you want to hear more about Trinity & empire tune into the final Ford lecture on 26/2 or listen back to the lecture I gave on exactly this on 14/12 as part of the early modern seminar.
This is hilarious. An academic from
@tcddublin
(
@janeohlmeyer
) tries to make us feel guilty for contributing to British imperialism without once directly mentioning the fact that her own university was a huge bastion of imperial privilege here.
Moving to film at the Christian cemetery in Old Delhi. Though over grown we found many Irish graves of men, women & children - Butlers, Byrnes, Kirwans & O’Gradys. Also Ulsterman - John Nicholson - revered as an imperial hero when he behaved like savage psychopath.
Remembering Shay Lawless - our amazing & beloved friend & colleague
