Freemasonry and Aryanism (Was: The Oriental Deception)

[Guest guest]

Eric,

 

Thanks for the interesting article. I notice you have several articles

on Freemasonry in India. You may be interested in a paper to be

presented at the South Asian Colloquium of the Pacific Northwest:

 

The Masonic Roots of Hindutva: The Case of Lodge Aryan

Vahid Fozdar, Research Associate, Department of History, UW

 

Since there are several other talks that may be interesting to people on

this list, I will also append the full announcement, forwarded from

H-Asia.

South Asia Conference of the Pacific Northwest, Winter 2003 session at

University of Washington, Seattle, Mach 7-8, 2003, including preliminary

symposium in honor of Professor Frank F. Conlon

-------

Ed. note: I thought Conlon had retired in Dec. 2001, but it seems he

keeps hanging around! Please note, that after many years, SACPAN has

not abandoned its awkward acronum, but instead converted Colloquium to

Conference. FFC
