Trzecia wojna afgańsko-brytyjska rozpoczęła się działaniami zbrojnymi 4 maja 1919 roku. Ten epizod z dziejów Imperium Brytyjskiego jest relatywnie mało znany, szczególnie w porównaniu z wcześniejszymi wojnami afgańsko-brytyjskimi, pierwszej z lat 1838–1842 i drugiej z lat 1878–1880. Oba te konflikty znalazły odbicie w obszernej literaturze przedmiotu. Tymczasem ostatnia wojna, z lat 1919–1920, brzemienna w skutki w wielu wymiarach, znalazła się w zapomnieniu, przyćmiona głównie przez pierwszą wojnę światową. Konflikt ten miał wymiar zarówno militarny, jak i dyplomatyczny. Działania wojenne i dyplomatyczne przeplatały się, a strona afgańska z premedytacją wykorzystywała aspekt zbrojny w czasie rokowań z Brytyjczykami. Znalazło to odbicie w dwóch konferencjach – w Rawalpindi i Mussoorie.

Established as colonial hill stations in Indian's Doon Valley, in the 1820s, Mussoorie and Landour emerged in Victorian literary imagination with the journals of Emily Eden, Fanny Parks, and the Wallace-Dunlop sisters. This paper argues that the Doon's female imperial architextures invented new prospects of grafting Anglo-Saxon aesthetics on the Himalayan terra nullius, diminishing, miniaturizing, and depopulating aspects of the hazardous, the alien, and the local. A thread of archetypes —jhampauns (Himalayan loco-armchairs) and Himalayan vistas— link the aesthetic arcs in the journals of Eden, Parks, and the Wallace-Dunlops. Although the architexture was ostensibly apolitical, it imbued the Doon's representational spaces with a reproducible English character, rendering its terra incognita into terra familiaris in imperial psyche, while carving a distinct imperial subjectivity for Memsahibs.

PurposeMany villages in the vicinity of the hill township of Mussorie in the Indian Himalayas are witnessing signs of an impending disaster. These villages are witnessing active wastage that might take an heavy toll of human interest during the monsoon season and therefore the paper proposes examining this subject.Design/methodology/approachA detailed study was undertaken in the area of Mussorie.FindingsIt is suggested that a series of prevention and mitigation measures (both structural and non‐structural) with the involvement of the local community are required for ruling out the possibility of any mishap in the area.Originality/valueThis paper highlights the importance of having a disaster management strategies for the region and involving the community with these.

Over-tourism is a multifaceted topic as it seeks to connect the social, cultural, economic, and environmental aspects to high tourist numbers. The recent surge in tourism, pushed by the pandemic fatigue and easing of lockdowns, has led to revenge tourism resulting in an excessive number of tourists visiting popular tourist destinations, forcing the Government to step in to regulate the load. This study empirically analyzes the tourist perceptions of the hill stations of Northern India, in specific to assess the infrastructure availability and socio-cultural impacts of tourist numbers and their correlation. The hill stations to be studied were selected based on the number of tourists and the type of hill stations- Nainital (Lake destination), Shimla (Developed State Capital), and Mussoorie (Small hill station popular for weekends). The study looks beyond the often-researched topic of economic development due to tourism. 260 responses to self-administered questionnaires from recent tourists to these destinations were analyzed quantitatively and results suggest that there is an inadequacy of infrastructure to meet the rising tourist numbers and an adverse socio-cultural impact was observed on the local population. There is also a correlation between inadequate infrastructure and socio-cultural impacts. This research will provide useful insights to the policymakers for designing efficient strategies for tourism development and destination management keeping in view the sustainability of the destination along with the well-being of local communities and the environment in view.

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to evaluate tourist destinations' image based on the attributes obtained from the extant literature using correspondence analysis.Design/methodology/approach– This study is aimed at measuring and illustrating destination image of tourism destinations perceived by domestic tourists. Five tourism destinations – Ooty, Shimla, Manali, Mussoorie and Mount Abu were selected as the subject of the study. Based on a representative sample of 800 respondents from the surveys across destinations, correspondence analysis was employed to illustrate an attribute based comparative analysis of the destination image of the tourist destinations.Findings– Findings reveal that the attribute natural attraction was positively perceived by respondents across all destinations and the attribute infrastructure emerged as an area in need of dire attention. Further, the most dominant attributes which marked destinations' positioning were – local cuisine and food outlets, hotels and restaurants, famous handicraft and parking facilities.Research limitations/implications– The findings of this study need to be integrated with qualitative studies to explore the underlying reasons for the perceived destination image.Practical implications– These results provide direction to policy makers and practitioners to visualize their destinations' competitive standing relative to their competitors' strengths and weaknesses. This tourist-derived intelligence presents an opportunity to take advantage of its current position, or if necessary, optimally reposition itself.Originality/value– This paper documents research that was the first to systematically capture and comparatively illustrate the destination image of Indian tourist destinations.
