India 75 Events

2022年标志着AHRC资助的印度印刷两个世纪（2CIP）试点项目的结束和印度独立75周年，以及南亚地区的其他重要国家活动。我们建议展示2CIP的编目，数字化和研究成果，并庆祝印度的印刷，电影和文学史，有一个专门的活动方案，旨在最大限度地发挥这些方案的影响，并展示它们在记录收藏品和提供收藏品方面的作用，2CIP主要关注东印度和东印度语言，如孟加拉语、阿萨姆语和锡尔赫特语。因此，2CIP的活动，如2021年10月在大英图书馆举行的孟加拉国50，往往是针对英国孟加拉国游客的。通过安排针对多个英属南亚社区的活动，拟议的印度75个活动项目将能够维持与英属孟加拉社区的现有关系，并与其他英属亚洲社区建立新的联系。因此，该项目的活动计划将通过庆祝该地区的语言和文化多样性，对普通观众和学术观众以及多个英国南亚社区产生广泛的吸引力。拟议的活动包括社区展示和演讲，研讨会，研讨会和电影放映，为英国和印度的感兴趣的观众。这些活动还将有助于为正在制定的更广泛的计划奠定基础，这些计划旨在扩大未来南亚收藏品保护的区域和语言重点，数字化和研究项目。这一活动计划的影响将有利于英国亚裔社区团体和非学术界的读者将更加熟悉图书馆的南亚馆藏，并更有信心为自己访问馆藏项目兴趣和研究，例如，研究其特定文化和区域遗产。反过来，图书馆将通过积极主动地与伦敦及其他地区的南亚社区接触，促进更牢固的关系。

2022 marks the conclusion of the AHRC-funded pilot project Two Centuries of Indian Print (2CIP) and the 75th anniversary of Indian independence, as well as other important national events across South Asia.We propose to showcase 2CIP's cataloguing, digitisation and research outputs and celebrate India's print, film and literary history with a dedicated events programme that aims to maximise the impact of such programmes and demonstrate their role in documenting collections and making them available, as well as engaging with new users and diversifying British Library audiences.2CIP was largely focused on East India and East Indian languages such as Bengali, Assamese and Sylheti. As a result, 2CIP events, such as the October 2021 Bangladesh 50 at the British Library, were often oriented towards British Bangladeshi visitors. Through arranging events aimed at multiple British South Asian communities, the proposed India 75 Events project will be able to sustain existing relationships with the British Bangladeshi community as well as form new connections with other British Asian communities. Therefore, this project's programme of events will have a wide appeal to both general and academic audiences, as well as multiple British South Asian communities through celebrating the region's diversity of languages and cultures.Proposed events include Community Show and Tells, Workshops, Seminars and Film Screenings for interested audiences in the UK and India. These events would also contribute to laying the foundation for wider plans being developed that seek to broaden the regional and linguistic focus of future South Asian collections conservation, digitisation and research projects.The impact of this programme of events will benefit British Asian community groups and non-academic audiences who will become more familiar with the Library's South Asia holdings and feel more confident accessing the collection items for their own interest and research, for example, research into their particular cultural and regional heritage. The Library in turn will foster stronger relationships by proactively engaging with South Asian communities both in London and beyond.
