20-02-2014 Dear Professor Andersen, I hope you are doing well. I was just wondering if there is any update on the email interview. I understand you have a busy schedule and I appreciate your interest. It will be very kind if you let me know any progress on that. Thanks for your cooperation. Regards Sumit Dear Professor Andersen, I have got the questions ready please find it in the attachment. Eleven questions in all, if you want to omit any questions please let me know. You may write down the answers in the document itself and send it back to me. I will include a concluding remark once I get your answers, before publishing I will show you the final draft. I have included a short introduction of yours in the opening remark, if you think there is more to be added please let me know or you can just type in there. It will be great if you can send some photos of your visit to the Santhal village. Will it be OK if I use your photo from the University website? Thanks a lot for your cooperation. Regards Sumit Soren Dear Professor Andersen, I am Sumit Soren from Berhampore, India. I am a freelance blogger and editor of an online magazine Livelystories.com We publish articles/write-ups, interviews on tribal issues. This year we celebrated the 159th anniversary of Santhal Hul by publishing articles and interviews of researchers and academicians which you might want to take a look. I had the pleasure to go through your paper entitled- Revival, Syncretism, and the anti-colonial discourse in the Kherwar Movement 1871-1910. I found the paper very informative and I was wondering if I could invite you for an email interview. In the interview we will be talking about the Kherwar movememnt, the works of Skrefsrud and so on, and also about personal your interactions with the Santhals. There will be 10-12 questions, I will send you the questions once you accept the invitation. We will work on the draft a little bit, and the final matter will be ready. Please let me know if we can make this email interview possible. Looking for an exciting interaction with you. Regards Sumit Soren
