Who exactly are the Parsis? What were they doing in China? In the spring of 2012, author Mishi Saran stumbled on the story of a 93-year-old Shanghai-born Indian gentleman, Jehangir Bejan Tata — a Parsi — who had been waging a long fight to get his family’s Shanghai house back. Through great good fortune, it was possible to interview him at length despite his advanced age and before he died in November 2013.
The story of JB Tata’s life that Mishi published in an anthology of unusual travel as “House for Mr. Tata: An Old Shanghai Tale,” helps flesh out a little-known picture of the wealthy Indian traders who lived in China. Jehangir’s brother was the renowned Shanghai photographer Sam Tata, whose iconic bookShanghai: 1949 The End of an Era documented the fall of Shanghai. Mishi’s illustrated lecture explores the trajectory that brought the Parsis to China, including JB Tata’s life story. She will also show some of Sam Tata’s photos.
About the Speaker
Mishi Saran came across JB Tata’s story while researching the novel that she is currently working on, set in 1930s Shanghai. Her first novel, The Other Side of Light (HarperCollins India, June 2012) was shortlisted for the 2013 Commonwealth Book Prize. She is also the author of the travel book-cum-memoir Chasing the Monk’s Shadow: A Journey in the Footsteps of Xuanzang.(Penguin, 2005), which was shortlisted for the 2006 Hutch-Crossword Book Award for non-fiction, and long listed for the Lettres Ulysses Award for the Art of Reportage. To research the book, she spent a year tracing the footsteps of Xuanzang, a 7th Century Chinese Buddhist monk who travelled along the Silk Road from China to India. Saran was born in India and spent a decade in New Delhi. Since then, she has lived in Switzerland, Indonesia, the United States, China, Hong Kong and Korea. She moved to Shanghai in 2006. She has a B.A. in Chinese studies from Wellesley Collage. She spent her junior year in Beijing in 1988-89 and was an exchange student at the Johns Hopkins-Nanjing University Centre for Chinese and American Studies in 1991-92. She is fluent in Mandarin, French and Hindi.

Domingo, el 24 de julio, 2pm / CHARLA: Los Sassoon & y los Kadoorie RMB 100 miembros de Historic Shanghai/RMB 150 no miembros. Lugar: Laboratorio de investigaciones de Disney, 4/F, 624 Jianguo Lu, cerca de Gao An Lu / RSVP: info@historic-shanghai.com
Los Sasson y los Kadoorie fueron legendarios – dos de las familias más ricas y exitosas de la vieja Shanghái, quienes amasaron sus fortunas en la economía próspera de Shanghái entre las guerras de opio y el año 1949. El autor Jeremy Kaufman, ganador del Premio Pulitzer, está trabajando en un libro sobre estas familias y el papel que tenían en Shanghái en esa época, con acceso a entrevistas con miembros de las familias y a archivos familiares en Hong Kong, Londres, y Jerusalén.
El profesor Kaufman también hablará de la versión china de la historia – que pensaban los KMT y los comunistas de estos ricos capitalistas extranjeros en Shanghái antes de 1949, y cómo se ve el legado de los Sasson y los Kadoorie en la China de hoy.
