SUMMARY:Was Pandatsang Rapga [Not] a KMT Spy? Mobile Individuals and Static States in Inter-Asian Interactions
DESCRIPTION:April 14\, 2023\n11:00 AM – 12:30 PM\nSchool of International and Public Affairs\, 420 West 118th Street\, Room 918\, New York\, NY 10027\n\n\nSpeaker: Tansen Sen\, Professor of History and Director of the Center for Global Asia at NYU Shanghai\, China\, and Associated Professor of History at NYU \nModerator: Gray Tuttle\, Leila Hadley Luce Professor of Modern Tibetan Studies\, Department of East Asian Languages & Cultures\, Columbia University \nIn 1946 Pandatsang Rapga was identified as a Kuomintang (KMT) spy by the British colonial administrators and deported from India. A member of the famous border-crossing trading family of the Pandatsangs based in Kalimpong (West Bengal\, India)\, Rapga’s life in the 1940s was remarkably mobile and deeply intertwined with the political changes taking place in India\, Tibet\, and China. This presentation explores several issues associated with the identification of Rapga as a KMT spy in the context of cross-border mobility and intelligence gathering in colonial and postcolonial Asia. Examined alongside similarly mobile individuals\, such as Raja Mahendra Pratap and Hisao Kimura\, it addresses the issues of state suspicions over mobility and political networking and alliances\, the surveillance infrastructure in border regions\, and the materiality of information. The presentation also attempts to make methodological intervention in the use of archival material for studying mobile individuals. \nThis event is sponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute. \nRegistration: \n\nTo attend this event in-person\, please register HERE. *Please note that non-CUID holders need to show proof of their primary series and one booster dose of COVID-19 vaccines.\nTo attend this event online\, please register HERE.\n\n\n
