SUMMARY:Progress or Perish: Different Images of India in Late Qing China
DESCRIPTION:\n	Zhang Ke (Associate Professor of History\, Fudan University\
 ; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2019-20)\n	Chair/discussant: Arunabh Ghosh (Asso
 ciate Professor of History\, Harvard University)\n\n	Co-sponsored with the
  Asia Center and the Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute\n\n\n	
 China and India have long been culturally connected. However\, the Chinese
  understanding of British India was rebuilt in the nineteenth century. Th
 ere were two different discourses of India in late Qing China. One was cre
 ated by the progressive British and American Protestant missionaries. They
  tried to convince the Chinese that the dissemination of Christianity and 
 British governance had brought positive changes into India\, namely improv
 ements of social customs and political institutions\, and their ideas were
  adopted by some Chinese intellectuals. The other emerged at the end of th
 e late nineteenth century when the Chinese nation was in peril. By narrati
 ng the “perish” of India\, Chinese intellectuals intended to learn the
  lesson of nations such as India and thought about their way out of failur
 e. This presentation will argue that these two different discourses saw n
 ineteenth century India respectively from the perspectives of colonialism 
 and resistant nationalism\; hence two very different Indias were made.
