COUNCIL’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR SOUTH ASIAN STUDIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST JANUARY 2024
Significant information
The British Association for South Asian Studies (BASAS) supports advanced research in the humanities and social sciences of South Asia. Originally, one of the overseas organisations grant-aided by The British Academy, it is now a self-financed charity registered with the Charity Commission under Registration Number 264591.
BASAS is one of the world's leading learned societies for the study of South Asia. It was established in 1986 and is now the largest UK interdisciplinary academic association for the study of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, and the South Asian diaspora. The Association was first established in 1972 as The Society for Afghan Studies. The Association expanded its remit from 1979, becoming The Society for South Asian Studies. On 1 October 2007 the Society merged with The British Association for South Asian Studies. The new organisation combines the grant-giving and overseas research project roles of The Society for South Asian Studies with the representative and advocacy roles of The British Association for South Asian Studies. The aim of the new merged Association is to advance, encourage, support and undertake the study and research of the geography, economics, politics, history, antiquities, archaeology, sociology, ethnography, languages, literature, art, culture, customs, and inter-disciplinary study of the countries and people of South Asia.
BASAS organises an annual conference, workshops and lectures, held at different locations each year in the UK and welcomes participants from all academic disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences. The Association is particularly keen to promote the careers of graduate and early career researchers working on South Asia and organises workshops and conference panels with their needs in mind. It publishes South Asian Studies , a bi-annual journal, and partners with the journal Contemporary South Asia . The Association has sponsored research projects in South Asia, as well as programmes of exchange and training, and engages in advocacy work, for instance through its membership of UKCASA (UK Council for Area Studies Associations).
Enquiries about the Association’s activities should be directed to the Assistant Secretary, The British Association for South Asian Studies, 27 Old Gloucester Street, Bloomsbury, London WC1N 3AX. Email: basas@basas.org.uk.
Organisation and Structure
The Association is governed by a Council and is administered by certain members of Council appointed as Executive Officers and Council members, assisted at present by a paid part-time Assistant Secretary.
Officers
The Officers who served during the year ended 31st January 2024 were:
| Prof Anindita Ghosh | Chair (to November 2023) |
|---|---|
| Prof Christophe Jaffrelot | Chair (from November 2023) |
| Prof Andrea Major | Treasurer (to November 2023) |
Prof Deana Heath Dr Thomas Chambers
Treasurer (from November 2023) Secretary (from November 2023)
The ex officio officers who served during the year ended 31st January 2024 were:
Dr. Jahnavi Phalkey South Asian Studies Journal Editor Dr. John Zavos Contemporary South Asia Journal Editor
All Officers serve as members of Council and are members of the committees which advise Council on the awards it makes and monitor the Association’s projects.
Members of Council
The following served on Council during the year ended 31st January 2024:
Dr Priyanka Basu (GEC) Dr Sadiq Bhanbhro (from November 2023) Prof Anand Prathivadi Bhayankaram Prof Pratik Chakrabarti (to November 2023) Dr Thomas Chambers (Secretary) Dr Angela Eyre Prof Anindita Ghosh (as Ordinary Member from November 2023) Prof Deana Heath (Events & Outreach Coordinator) Dr Sunil Mitra Kumar (GEC) Mr Arvind Kumar (from November 2023) Prof Andrea Major (Treasurer) Dr Dibyadyuti Roy (from November 2023) Dr Priyanka Singh (from November 2023) Dr Philippa Williams (to November 2023)
Dr John Zavos (Contemporary South Asia Editor)
Dr Jahnavi Phalkey (South Asian Studies Editor)
*These roles were created in 2009 to represent Graduate and Early Career researchers.
Members of the Council constitute the Trustees of the Association for the purposes of the Charities Act.
The Executive Officers and Members of the Council are elected in terms of Rule 7 of the 2017 Constitution with vacancies being filled by vote upon nominations.
Reserves Policy
The Council reviews regularly the Association’s activities and future commitments.
It has been established that a reserve of £20,000 would be needed to wind up the Association’s affairs and to meet any outstanding commitments. Council has therefore determined that the minimum level of the Association’s reserves should be £20,000 and that no commitments should be entered into which would bring the reserves below this level. Given the termination of British Academy funding
from 2012 the Council once again recognises that the Association’s reserves should not fall below £20,000.
Risk management
Since the withdrawal of all funding from The British Academy, the Association is undergoing a period of transition with regards to its funding streams. Systems and procedures have been established to review the Association’s financial structure whilst continuing to maintain and improve the quality of the Association’s work, along with accurate reporting, and tight financial control. Council is responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Association and taking all reasonable steps for the detection and prevention of fraud and other irregularities. Financial procedures are reviewed regularly.
The Association faces another risk in common with many smaller charities where the week-to-week financial activities of the Association are dealt with by the Treasurer and the Assistant Secretary alone. With no staff, it is not possible to expect the level of internal financial controls, particularly the division of duties, to match those that would be expected within a larger organisation. However, in recognition of this risk, the Council has determined that all payments from the Association’s bank account of over £1,000.00 should bear the signatures of two Council Members.

REPORT FROM THE SECRETARY
This has been another busy year for BASAS and, as always, there have been many individuals who have contributed a huge amount… our thanks to everyone.
The 2023 annual conference was a great success with Prof. Andrea Major and other colleagues at the University of Leeds doing an incredible job. The range of papers was wonderful to see and discussions were lively and engaging.
This year’s Annual Lecture was hosted at Oxford Brookes and comprised an excellent presentation by Prof. Ravinder Kaur (Copenhagen) titled Protocols of Memory: 1947 Partition and the Return of the Political.
It has been another busy year for our two BASAS journals with a range of wonderful publications going to print. Dr John Zavos has continued his editorship through another successful year at Contemporary South Asia and Dr Jahnavi Phalkey has done a fantastic job in her first full year as editor of South Asian Studies.
John will be standing down from his roll in the autumn and we wish to offer our sincere thanks for his many years of dedicated work developing the journal.
Thanks to the hard work of Dr Priyanka Basu and Dr Sunil Kumar, the GEC Network remains highly active and continues to draw in participants.
Many congratulations to this year’s book prize winners, Olly Ackerman and Sushmita Pati, and sincere thanks to the judges for their work in judging a highly competitive field.
Administratively, BASAS continues to run effectively with particular thanks to the Assistant Secretary Rosie Edgley who does a tremendous job in keeping things going. Likewise, many thanks to Prof. Deana Heath who has done a great job as Treasurer. Deana will be departing this role in the autumn and, thus, we will be seeking a replacement for the post. Do get in touch if this is of interest to you.
The coming year will see the usual activities running including the prizes, the GEC Network, the Annual Lecture (TBC) and, most importantly, the annual conference. The team at King’s have been doing an incredible job with organising this for September and I am very much looking forward to catching up with many of you there.

REPORT FROM THE EDITOR OF SOUTH ASIAN STUDIES
This has been a good year for the journal. We have seen an increase of close to 80% increase in downloads and readership. We have refreshed the Editorial Board and Associate Editors, and I met with most of them in an online town-hall meeting to discuss the priorities for the journal.
Among key decisions taken, given the limit on the number of “special articles” that we are allowed (we can carry up to four non-research articles in one volume), I have decided to let go of book-reviews in favour of commissioning Essay Reviews. Aparna Balachandran continues to hold the responsibility for these.
Among our publications in the last year was an Obituary for Ranajit Guha written by David Hardiman. This is the most downloaded article from South Asian Studies in the last one year.
In the last year, we have published two special issues:
Issue 2, 2023: Special Issue: “Rethinking Regional Polity in North India and the Deccan, 14th-16th Centuries” with Guest Editors - Daud Ali and Ayesha Seth
Issue 1, 2024 : Special Issue: Institutions, “Infrastructure, Interconnections: Essays in Honor of Frederick M. Asher” with Guest Editors - Rebecca Brown and Sumathi Ramaswamy
We have the following issues coming up:
Issue 2, 2024 – with regular submissions already lined up and submitted for production
Issue 1, 2025 – in progress
Issue 2, 2025 – Special Issue - “South Asian Collections in European Museums: Past, Present, Future,” Guest Editors: Jennifer Howes, Independent Scholar, jhowes@hotmail.com; Friederike Voigt, National Museums Scotland, f.voigt@nms.ac.uk, and Shreya Gupta, University of Exeter and Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, sg759@exeter.ac.uk

REPORT FROM EDITOR OF CONTEMPORARY SOUTH ASIA
This report covers the calendar year 2023, during which Contemporary South Asia published the four issues of volume 31, as scheduled. My thanks to the whole team who worked on the journal this year – Raphael Susewind, the Book Reviews Editor, Rosie Edgley, the Editorial Assistant, Gabriele Parussini, the Reviews Editorial Assistant, the members of the Editorial Board, the production team at Taylor and Francis, and of course all our contributors. During 2023 we had the tragic news of the death of Gabriele after illness. Our condolences to his family and friends.
Unusually, Volume 31 does not include any special issues, although two of the issues did include special sections. One of these special sections (in issue 31’3) featured articles from the 2022 BASAS conference held at Southampton University. The special section is distinctive, in that it presents papers that featured in one particular panel, rather than a range of papers from across the conference. The guest editors Julien Levesque and Soheb Niazi were also the conveners of the panel at the conference, which explored Muslim caste associations in India. Five engaging papers first presented at the conference are bracketed by an introduction by Julien and Soheb, and an Afterword from Joel Lee. This coherent package of work showcases the kind of engaging, joined up thinking that regularly occurs across the conference.
The second special section this year (in issue 31’2) was a collaboration between colleagues at Université Paris 13, Jamia Millia Islamia and the Centre for Internet and Society, Bangalore (Christine Ithurbide, Philippe Bouquillion, Vibodh Parthasarathi and Puthiya Purayil Sneha). Focused on Digital Creative Industries in India, the section presented four papers and an introduction by the guest editors.
Other than these, our issues have presented a range of papers, exploring themes from Chinese migrants in Assam, to women’s participation in the Pakistani civil service, to bullying at Sri Lankan universities, to politics in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, to Hindi sports films and postage stamps commemorating 1857. These diverse themes reflect the multi-disciplinarity that characterizes CSA. If you want to find out more about these particular papers or others, please visit the journal website to explore the list of issues at www.tandfonline.com/loi/ccsa20.
Raphael Susewind managed our thriving book review section throughout 2023, with no less than 36 book reviews published in this volume. Don’t forget that if you are interested in contributing to CSA by reviewing a book, you should contact the Reviews Editor by mail at csa.bookreviews@gmail.com. To see the current list of books available for review, please visit the CSA website at www.tandf.co.uk/journals/ccsa. 2024 will be Raphael’s final year as Reviews Editor. A new Reviews Editor should be in place for 2025. Huge thanks to Raphael for all the hard work he has put in to managing the Reviews section during the time he has been with the journal.
As well as book reviews, please consider submitting research articles, shorter viewpoint pieces or research notes through our website. If you would like to discuss a possible submission, or you have ideas for a special issue or section in the journal, please do drop me a line at john.zavos@manchester.ac.uk. As it happens 2024 is also my last year as Editor of CSA. At the end of 2024 I will be handing over to a new editor after 16 years editing the journal. One of the pleasures of fulfilling this role has been the close connection it has given me to BASAS throughout this time. I am
confident the relationship between the journal and the Association will continue. My thanks to the BASAS community for supporting the journal as contributors and readers – both past and future.

Editor, Contemporary South Asia
REPORT FROM THE TREASURER
In accordance with previous years, the accounts for BASAS have been prepared on a cash received, cash paid basis.
2023-24 has been a good financial year for BASAS, and we have been able to maintain BASAS’s profile as an organisation, sustain membership levels, and generate income. This, together with the robust financial position we have built up over the last few years, means that we have been able to continue to improve our organisational infrastructure this year without eating our cash reserves. 2023-24 represents the eighth consecutive year that the Association has ended the year with a modest surplus, and this financial stability places BASAS on a firm footing for the future.
An analysis of the financial results for the year ended 31[st] January 2024 are provided below:
Overview of income, expenses, and net of income/(expenses) FYE 2019-2024:
| YE 2019 | YE 2020 | YE 2021 | YE 2022 | YE 2023 | YE 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Income | £30,606 | £22,013 | £28,033 | £28,960 | £23,678 | £25,388 |
| Expenses | £7,793 | £18,006 | £13,617 | £26,681 | £18,889 | £24,103 |
| Net of income/(expenses) |
£22,813 | £4,007 | £14,416 | £2,279 | £4,788 | £1,285 |
For the FYE 2024, the opening bank balance was £149,361, and the closing bank balance was £150,646.
Income
Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £21,852 and restricted funds stood at £3,536, making a grand total £25,388.
The largest four income streams were:
-
£9,215 membership dues
-
£8,000 corporate sponsorship
-
£3,931 royalties from sales of South Asian Studies
In terms of membership income, this has remained stable. As usual we saw an upsurge in memberships ahead of the conference hosted by Leeds in 2023, underlining the importance of the annual conference for maintaining membership levels and engagement with BASAS.
BASAS continues to benefit from the arrangement with Taylor and Francis, including the payment of £8,000 in recognition of the Association’s support for promoting Contemporary South Asia and royalties of £3,931 from South Asian Studies . The system of online journal access for members has been a success and will result in a reduction in member publication costs in the longer term.
Expenditure
The expenditure figures for 2023-24 have increased slightly compared to last year. The three largest areas of expenditure were:
-
£11,812 administrative costs (including salaries)
-
£5,445 online and digital services (including webhosting, telephony, and ongoing refinements to the new website)
-
£2,365 grants and awards
We have continued to work with website specialists The Communications Group to fine-tune the new website (launched two years ago), refine processes, and improve member experience. We added the option for members to auto-renew at a cost of £1,800, with a view to retaining members.
Given BASAS’s strong financial position, we have been able to offer several conference bursaries for both international and UK early career delegates. Council continues to discuss potential ways to capitalise on this strong foundation to enhance the activities of the organisation. BASAS continues to hold events, including the Annual Lecture (hosted by Oxford Brookes), Master’s Dissertation Prize and Book Prize.
Summary
In summary the accounts for FYE 2024 reflect another satisfactory financial outcome, with routine expenditure maintained well within income earned. Having established and sustained the organisation’s financial position through careful management over the last few years, we now have sufficient financial headroom both to secure the future of the organisation and provide opportunities for some new categories of expenditure to be pursued to further enhance the Association’s charitable activities. While it has proved possible to keep the Association’s finances stable at the current membership rates, it is worth noting that these have not been increased for several years. The Executive Council may wish to review membership fee rates in the coming year with a view to maintaining income levels in the face of inflationary and other pressures.
