Scholars interested in the study of slavery in the Middle East have often lamented that the subject has received little attention within the region itself, particularly in the Arab world. Indeed, slavery has remained a sensitive subject in many Middle Eastern societies. However, during the past few decades, a significant body of literature in Arabic language has emerged. A few local academics, public intellectuals, writers, artists, and activists have written about various aspects of slavery and its legacy in the region, including the attitude of Islam towards slavery, abolition, and the experiences of certain categories of enslaved people such as eunuchs, enslaved women, slave soldiers, singers, and performers. The subject has also figured prominently in several literary and artistic works such as novels, film, and theatre. This presentation will shed light on some of these writings, the way in which academics and non-academics from the region have approached and engaged the subject, and the extent to which their perspectives would enhance and contribute to the current debate on slavery and its legacy in Middle Eastern societies.

Over the last decade, India has become the fifth-biggest economy in the world, taking an innovative approach to digitalization with the unique combination of large-scale diffusion of bank accounts for the unbanked, a nationwide biometric database for 1.3 billion citizens, and the widespread adoption of mobile technology — now second largest in the world with over 600 million subscribers.

Despite being hit hard by the pandemic, India’s digital success is now enabling the economy to rebound sharply while also ushering in new business models across a range of sectors, such as financial payments and healthcare.

The Emerging Market Webinar Series, organised by Cornell's Emerging Markets Institute, invites a distinguished panel of experts to discuss how digital transformation is a key enabler for sustainable and inclusive growth in India.
