Abstract:
AbstractDiaphania indica (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is an important phytophagous pest of Trichosanthes anguina L. in India. We studied life table parameters by age-stage, two-sex, amylolytic and proteolytic activities, and food utilization parameters of D. indica on the leaves of three T. anguina cultivars (Baruipur Long, Polo No. 1 and MNSR-1). Further, nutrients (total carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, amino acids and nitrogen) and antinutrients (total phenols, flavonols and tannins) in leaves were determined. The development time (egg to adult emergence) was the shortest on MNSR-1 (19.79 d) and the longest on Polo No. 1 (25.72 d). Fecundity was the highest and lowest on MNSR-1 (259 eggs) and Polo No. 1 (151.22 eggs), respectively. The lowest intrinsic rate of increase (rm) and net reproductive rate (R0) of D. indica on Polo No. 1 were 0.1112 d−1 and 27.22 offspring individual−1, respectively. The mean generation time (T) was the shortest on MNSR-1 (23.99 days) and the longest on Polo No. 1 (29.70 d). The larvae of D. indica fed with MNSR-1 had the highest level of amylolytic and proteolytic activities, and the lowest activities were in the larvae fed with Polo No. 1. The fifth-instar larvae fed with Polo No. 1 had the lowest consumption index and growth rate. The higher larval development time and lower fecundity of D. indica on Polo No. 1 were due to the lower level of nutrients and a higher level of antinutrients than other cultivars. Our results concluded that Polo No. 1 cultivar could be suggested for cultivation.

Abstract:
The year 1998 marks the seven-hundredth anniversary of the initial composition of the book associated with Marco Polo, Le devisament dou monde. As the first European to claim that he had been to China and back (not to mention that he had travelled extensively elsewhere in Asia), Polo has become a household name. He has been credited with the introduction of noodles into Italy and of spaghetti into China. With perhaps greater warrant, he has been cited as an authority onȔinter aliaȔthe capital of the Mongol Great Khan Qubilai, on the Mongol postal relay system, on the trade in horses across the Arabian Sea, and on political conditions on the north-west frontier of India in the mid thirteenth century. The Marco Polo bibliography published in 1986 contained over 2,300 items in European languages alone.

Abstract:
Chilli leaf curl virus (ChiLCV) is a serious problem for chilli production in Pakistan and India. In this study, fourteen different chilli lines / varieties were screened for their resistance/susceptibility towards ChiLCV in open field trials. Data of disease severity and disease incidence was recorded on weekly basis. Out of all varieties screened, Tatapuri Chilli and CH111 showed high susceptibility towards the chilli leaf curl disease. Talhari, CH 99, CH103, CH 106, CH107, CH108, CH109, GSL111 showed susceptible response whereas CBS1292 showed moderately susceptible response towards the disease. Only two cultivars Hybrid-46 and Hot Queen were found as moderately resistant. The screening experiment showed that most of the chilli varieties are susceptible to chilli leaf curl disease and resistance is lacking in local germplasm. Furthermore, three insecticides: Imidacloprid, Polo and Emamectin were tested for their efficacy for the management of disease and whitefly vector in field conditions at weekly intervals. Out of three insecticides, Polo gave best results as compared to Emamectin and Imidacloprid against chilli leaf curl disease and whitefly vector.

Abstract:
Calicut was the most important port in southwest India during the late fourteenth and the fifteenth century. Its rulers, the Zamorins, maintained a vast network of trading relations extending from the coast of East Africa to the Indonesian archipelago and the Far East. This is amply documented in the accounts of foreign travellers, practically all of whom passed through the Malabar ports on the lengthy voyage from west to east and back. Marco Polo, Ibn Baṭṭūṭa, 'Abd al-Razzāq, to name but a few, figure most prominently in a long line of writers whose reports describe various aspects of old Colychachia, as Calicut was then called by Nicolo di Conti, an Italian traveller.

Abstract:
When Christopher Columbus arrived at La Espanola (the large island called in English Hispaniola, now divided between the modern states of Haiti and the Dominican Republic) in early December 1492, he encountered a society entirely different from the ones described by Marco Polo for Asia and India. Columbus, sailing through the Bahamas and Cuba, had already discovered indios who went about naked, did not know the wheel nor used any metal tools, practised agriculture and fishing, and had a complex social structure and an elaborated system of religious beliefs. These ‘Indians’ called themselves Tainos, to signify that they were peaceful, although they defended themselves well from their neighbouring enemies, the Caribes of the Lesser Antilles islands (Colon 1961; Las Casas 1967)

La aparición del libro de Marco Polo está relacionada con un renovado interés por la Cruzada, la posibilidad de establecer contacto con la retaguardia del Islam y la obtención así de la supremacía del Occidente latino sobre otras comunidades imaginadas. Su fama y extraordinaria difusión, sin embargo, se explican por su capacidad de cuestionar los fundamentos de dicha aspiración. Ésta es la paradoja que el presente libro analiza con la ayuda de otros textos contemporáneos de viajes al Lejano Oriente, trayectos que describen un movimiento que circula entre la aquiescencia con formas tradicionales de poder y la resistencia a esas mismas fuerzas. La demanda por parte de las élites europeas de información actualizada y concreta sobre las Indias inauguraba una forma de representación del Oriente que, al convertirlo en objeto pasivo y carente de soberanía sobre sí mismo, contribuyó a la expansión política y espiritual del Occidente. Ésta es la historia de una forma de Orientalismo destinada a perdurar.

Abstract:
Abstract It has three brands in play, but only flagship Volkswagen (VW) has captured significant space in mind and market. Now, the German auto group is looking to unleash the collective power of Skoda, VW, and Audi in India with the prospect of more brands being launched. Lutz Kothe first stepped on Indian soil in 2008 to attend the Auto Expo in New Delhi. At 4 am the head of marketing at VW India strode into the Park Hotel and, when checking in, said he was from Volkswagen. The name didn’t ring a bell with the front office staff. That’s when Kothe learnt his first lesson: Europe’s largest carmaker was a virtually unknown entity in India. Lesson No 2 was to follow soon. Kothe walked into the VW pavilion at the Expo but he couldn’t see any cars on display. Kothe panicked as the VW global board was scheduled to stopover. Then he realized why he couldn’t see the cars: they were all covered in dust. Over the next couple of hours he scurried around and got the place spick and span—in the nick of time before the board visit. Kothe’s second takeaway: if VW has to get it right in the country, it needs to marry German planning with Indian ingenuity. By all accounts, VW has been getting better at that endeavour with every passing year. It entered India late, but in just four years since it set up India operations, the German carmaker has sold a little over 1 lakh cars (till October 2011). Its seven models of compacts, sedans, and luxury cars have helped VW carve out a 3.5% market share—something the Detroit giants have not been able to do after more than a decade in the country. What’s more, the VW group is not a one-horse wonder. Globally, it owns a clutch of marquee auto names, from Audi, Bentley, and Lamborghini to Porsche, SEAT, and Skoda. In India, the group is present with three of these brands—Skoda came in first a decade ago, and Audi and VW hit Indian roads in 2007. The troika has still to collectively pull its weight in the group’s quest to become a carmaker to reckon with. But if ever there was a time to get the show on the road, it is now. The current slowdown notwithstanding, demand for and interest in passenger vehicles-from small cars to high-end luxury coupes-have heightened. That has emboldened the VW group to consider getting in more of its brands into the country-one-time Spanish auto major SEAT is likely to be brought in under the VW umbrella, as are luxury brands Porsche and Lamborghini (currently, they are imported by independent dealers). The Long Road Ahead Even as things stand today, the presence and power of multiple brands—VW, Skoda, and Audi—gives VW a distinct edge over many of its multinational competitors. ‘No other car maker with every model being so distinct,’ says John Chacko, VW group chief representative for India. ‘But naturally it will be the core brand that will have a lot of load on itself, in terms of (absorbing) investment, suppliers and volumes,’ adds Chacko. Backed by hatchback Polo and sedan Vento, the ‘core brand’s’ sales jumped 10-fold in 2010 to 32,627 units over a year ago. Till October 2011, that figure had more than doubled to a little over 66,000. Like most global carmakers, VW has adopted a top-down strategy, entering with the Passat and the Jetta (a large and a small family car, respectively). But it was only after the entry of the Polo (in early 2010) and the Vento (in mid-2010) that the pace of VW’s sales quickened. The company is now eyeing a market share of 10% by 2015. A chunk of that growth will come from the launch of the compact car up in a segment one rung lower than the Polo, by early 2013, benefits across the three brands. One synergy is in manufacturing. In 2006, VW invested Rs 3,300 crore in a factory in Chakan on the outskirts of Pune to produce the high-volume Polo and Vento. The unit, which can produce 1,30,000 units annually, also makes the premium compact, the Skoda Fabia, and will also roll out the soon-to-be-launched Skoda Rapid sedan.

Abstract Following in the footsteps of Marco Polo many English travellers sought to get to China and Japan and to establish trade with these long-established, wealthy and important nations. Many also sought to make contact with the powerful Mughal dynasty in India. This chapter opens with Francis Petty’s observations of the South Sea islanders encountered on Thomas Cavendish’s circumnavigation of the globe. The chapter includes a translation of a letter from a Jesuit describing the fabulous wealth and abundance of natural resources he observed in China; Sir Henry Middleton’s account of his voyage to the Moluccas; two accounts of Japan by Arthur Hatch and John Saris; Edward Terry’s observation of the Mughal court; extracts from the logbook of William Adams, one of the few Westerners to have been accepted into Chinese society in the period; and it concludes with Peter Mundy’s observations of India.

This chapter chronicles Celso Cesare Moreno's exploits in Asia, beginning with his decision to take to the sea like other Italian missionaries, explorers, and traders before him, such as Marco Polo and Vasco da Gama. Moreno's initial zone of activity was the Mediterranean, but he later made his way to the Cape of Good Hope, the Horn of Africa, the Red Sea, and finally, India. Arriving in Calcutta in June 1859, Moreno became entangled in a bitter dispute with Giovanni Casella, a successful merchant, and Father Vincenzo Bruno, a missionary. The chapter also considers Moreno's role in the Sepoy Mutiny during his time in India; his “discovery” of Sumatra; his sojourn in China, where he became involved in the Taiping Rebellion; his failed attempt to convince the Italian government to establish a colony in Sumatra; his efforts to sell Sumatra to Napoleon III; and his travel to Indochina to explore scantly known regions, among other objectives.

Abstract This chapter charts the course of the Fourth Crusade which resulted in the overthrow of the Byzantine Empire and the creation of Venice’s overseas domain, known as the stato da mar. It examines the ways by which Venice acquired empire: conquest, purchase, settlement. Not interested in territory per se, Venice wanted trading posts and water refueling stations for its ships. It explores the huge expansion of Venetian trade and trade routes, including into the Black Sea, and the trade routes to India and China, the latter pioneered by Marco Polo. It also shows how urban infrastructure projects, especially the creation of fondachi (hospice/warehouses) for foreign merchants, the Arsenal, and the Mint, supported Venetian trade. The chapter considers how Venice used both hard and soft power to assert its trade monopoly over the Adriatic and its growing trade and military rivalry with Genoa.

This chapter considers how many travellers have attempted to follow Alexander's footsteps, or in their account of their own Asian journeys have made a point of referring to him as their forerunner, even guide. During the Great Game, the struggle between the great powers, mainly Britain and Russia, for control of Afghanistan and surrounding territory on the Gateway to India, there were many worthies in this great man's footsteps. The American Josiah Harlan was one of the first, becoming a general of the Afghan army and allegedly obsessed with Alexander, yet he seems never directly to refer to him in his annals.

Abstract:
Less than twenty years after Vasco da Gama joined the commercial perimeter of the Indian Ocean (1497–8), European artists had developed a view of the newly discovered lands, ranging from highly exotic and sometimes quite fanciful renderings based on medieval sources (the ‘Tapestries of the Indies’) to careful ethnographic illustrations based on written and visual sources (Hans Burgkmair's large woodcut frieze, People of Africa and India, of 1508). These few years, in which the monstrance of Belém of 1506 (Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon) was produced with the gold of Kilwa, also saw an interesting development in Portuguese gold coinage. All these ventures record a brief moment of European fascination with the east coast of Africa and its multicultural inhabitants, which is the object of this study.
