Monumental Missing Links of Island to World Heritage

The World of Intersections function like a vortex. They have pulled me in time and again at different heritage nodes and energy points of the world at strategic times. This year, it seems all the various strands of random wanderings came together to fill in the blanks in many missng pieces of the puzzle in my ongoing efforts at bridging gaps.

My life journeys have taken me through Japan, India, Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia again, from the Caribbean. Now it brings me back as a cultural ambassador of diaspora, a Pravasi, but also truth seeker,  chronicling not just events, as a journalists, but as a scribe, fingering the pulse of shifting currents of world civilisations.

Convergence Crisscrossed

Straddling the Sangam of the Maha Kumbh Mela, or the Sangam at Varanasi and Rishikesh, flowed with others – at the meeting point of Europe Africa and Asia Minor at Tunisia or at the Bhosperous in Turkey where converges the routes of Asia, Europe and Arabia. This new world Sangam is at Intersection of Silk, Slave and Immigrant Routes.

The impetus of my journeying is connecting the flow of cultures that converge into our living heritage, from where I stand, at the intersecting Sangam of Silk, Slave and Indentured Indian Immigrant Routes, straddling all.

In footsteps of the Ancients

My footsteps connect to the echoes of other travelling knowledge seekers who came before me, preceding Fa-Hien who inspired Xuanzang, Arabs, Persians, Greeks and Italians – Abdul Razak, Al-Masudi, Megasthenes, Marco Polo and Ptolemy whose travelogues mesh myth and history in hyperbole to feed curiosity and fire the imagination of Columbus and the colonial discoverers, mapping physical and metaphysical landscapes, as I am, multicultural diasporas.

Involuntarily, though millennia separate us, my journey, unplanned as his echo a similar path, in part, to the trek of Chinese Buddhist monk Xuanzang. It had begun at the start of the year in Odisha, as global ambassador of the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, through Delhi, Agra and Vrindaban, onto Prayagraj for Maha Kumbh and into Kashi.

Routes to Civilisations

Historically route ways have served the development of human civilisations.

On these travels through India, it was clear that India’s growing prosperity is tied to opening-up access across the country, facilitating not just traffic flow and trade, but also easier access to the cultural and heritage landscapes. It is a stimulant for national pride and building not just a connected but also a more  interconnected and cohesive nation.

Oldest Continuous Use Route

I was fascinated in being able to traversing one of the world’s oldest continuous use routes, the oriental Silk Route that connected both ends of the Asian continent. In its evolution, it expanded connects among Asia, Arabia, Africa and European worlds to evolve the global community we know today. This is how the paths defined as the millennia-old Silk Routes is known to have shaped human history.

To date, in considering the value of the Silk Route, most have confined its treatment to the passageway through Asia by which Europe enriched itself. In my work on world heritage for our region, I have consistently noted how such Eurocentric positioning, now holed into an era past, demands broader considerations, which also means that global institutions as UNESCO must broaden its vision, and approach and recraft its mechanisms and instruments to shape the changing global realities. 

Silk Route Interconnections

Treatment of this historic route, I expand the consideration of the Silk Route in its new dimensions connected to the Slave and Indentured Indian  

I share here a snipet from my sections on such conduit from my unfolding exploration of interconnections between our new emerging world and the old EPIC Landscapes and Mindscapes of Heritage and History.  By this, I fill the gaps and oversight of too narrow view of the which expands the of bridges, highways and routes on the Silk Route now connected by extension of migration and settlement across the globe of peoples from countries served by the Silk and Slave Routes.

Immigrant Routes

This was the rationale for introducing the Indentured Indian Immigrant Route initiative, presented and passed by Mauritius, while I was co-chair of the UNESCO Programme and External Relations Commission. It could now also accommodate the very many migrants and diasporas – China, indeed, which features in the launch of the Bridge and brings home starkly that partnerships across continents that is required to rebalance our world in conjunction with the alliances (re-alliances and misalliances too) occurring in the Global South and in multilateral relations.

 When I stand on the Demerara Bridge in Guyana, as it was being constructed or the Caroni Bridge in Trinidad, I envisage the metaphysical extensions and intersections of Silk, Slave, and Immigrant routes, from the ancient pathways I retrace here.

From this seat of infinite time, I reach into other districts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, tracing the footprints of Gods and Goddesses, and my ancestors.

Xangzang writes:

…The divine spirits respectfully defended (this place); both saints and sages wandered here and reposed… The bright connected light of holy men and sages, guiding the world as the shining of the moon, have made this country eminent, and so it is called In-tu.

Return to Roots

Yet, unlike Xangzang, Ptolemy, the Arabs, Persians and Europeans, I am not an outsider, discovering a new country. I am a Pravasi, returning to the roots of my ancestors mapping, capturing and chronicling and comparing cross generational influences that passed through time, of being shoots, shorn off the roots to  parts scattered in far distances, like Sati. Drawing together the diverse experiences from diverse places, I am gathering the severed parts of diaspora and restore its story from fragments for a tale of wholeness.  

Flung from Island to Earth’s Farthest  

Life opened-up my view to the world through reading at first, then at 18 flung me from my Caribbean island to another at its farthest reaches – Japan – then into currents across India, Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific and through the Americas to unveil the ties that bind us across the globe. Now, this tide tosses me again, inside India, not as student but as cultural ambassador of diaspora, a Pravasi.

My footsteps connect to the echoes of other travelling knowledge seekers, cultural ambassadors who came before me, Megathenes to Marco Polo, Fa-Hien who inspired Xuanzang, Arabs, Persians, Greeks and Italians – Abdul Razak, Al-Masudi, Ptolemy who mesh myth and history in hyperbole to feed curiosity and fire the imagination of Columbus and the colonial discoverers.

Klaudios Ptolemy maps the physical and social landscape, as I am mapping the cultural spaces between what my ancestors handed down and the root culture. Yet, it is not just a reclamation of culture. It is something more, this wave, in a tide. It is participating in a global churning, metaphorically represented in the historical MahaKumbh Mela.

 My mandate is observing and chronicling, as the axis mundi turns through this pivotal period in world history when civilisations dominant over the last centuries move into decline and new ones rise to claim their place in the sun.

Cusp of Change

I am sitting on the cusp of change sweeping through not just the Global South but the globe itself, savouring robust flavour of flux from its fragmented representations to its primeval purposes. I am at the cornerstone of pivotal points – India in the East and the Caribbean in the West – rising in stature in the globe. New emerging powers as Guyana in South America, defying its size as a small nation and a recorded history of marginalization to come into its own, as does India, bouncing back like an Indian rubber ball from the ravages of colonisation.

Juncture of Continuum

To be at this juncture feels more than coincidence, or random unconnected chance. It is participation in the continuum. To be placed at the heart of both, India’s eastern embrace of Africa and the Pacific in the East and Guyana straddling the Caribbean and Americas in the West, at the dual points of when they were the world’s outcasts, as now when they are blossoming out, boldly reclamation and proclaiming self, seem providentially guided by powers much beyond me.

It is as humbling as it is staggering. It resonates a deeper role in the evolution of civilisations. These here are fragments excerpted from the full comparison of India, the Caribbean and the Global South in the unfolding EPIC Landscapes and Mindscapes of Heritage and History, drawn from a lifetime of not just research but experience.

Involuntarily, though more than millennia separate us, from the start of this year, my feet are led through this path, unplanned, creating and manifesting next points as each day, each moment approaches. Though not the same, it is similar to that followed by Chinese Buddhist monk Xuanzang through Odisha, Prayagraj for Maha Kumbh into Varanasi which brings me to other districts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in the footprints of Gods and Goddesses, my ancestors.

Scribes of Antiquity

I sense the magnitude of participating in that age-old tradition of scribes as Xuangzang and our ancestors who document, record and share, to connect bygone eras to the next, unforeseen future. Even as modes and methods change – satellites, railways, cartography – the mandate is the same. I have no sketching skills – absolutely none – so I rely on my cameras to be my borrowed eyes and hope the technology doesn’t fail. As in times gone, the equipment is only secondary. I must still observe, absorb, and document the living pulse of human culture, ritual, and knowledge.
