Childhood and Youth

Dietmar Rothermund was interested in India and its culture from an early age on. He read the early Indian philosophical Upanishad texts at a young age and made a map of India's most important temples while still at school. A few years before his Abitur, Rothermund wrote a letter to
Jawaharlal Nehru Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru (; ; ; 14 November 1889 – 27 May 1964) was an Indian anti-colonial nationalist, secular humanist, social democrat— * * * * and author who was a central figure in India during the middle of the 20t ...

, complained that the Congress had so far been able to make cultural progress but no social progress. Referring to this, Rothermund formulated his question as to whether this had been achieved under his leadership after Indian independence. The letter remained unanswered and even at a personal meeting a few years later, Nehru did not give him any information.

Indo-German Cultural Relations

Dietmar Rothermund was extremely keen on strengthening and consolidating the relationship between India and Germany. In addition to his commitment in this field, he has also published several works. These include ''Rabindranath Tragore in Germany'', where he captures the euphoria of the 1920s in Germany for India, which arose through the visits of the great Bengali and Gandhian Rabindranath Tragore. Furthermore, his biography on

Studies beyond South Asia

The historian from Heidelberg did not limit himself to South Asian studies alone, he also focused on topics related to colonial history and Asia in general. One of his works on this field is ''Asian Trade and European Expansion in the Age of Mercantilism'', which can also be subsumed to his research focus on economic history. On the subject of colonial history, he produced the world-historical volume ''The Routledge Companion to Decolonization'' in 2006. In this book the decolonisation processes in

Criticism

Due to the larger audience, Rothermund switched to English quite early when it came to publishing his works. His publications mostly relied exclusively on English sources, which, according to some critics, promoted a pro-government interpretation and ignored

perspectives. For the vast majority, however, this was a loss to be borne, considering the frequency with which he wrote and published.


Engagement

Rothermund's efforts were not limited to Germany alone; he was always engaged at the international level as well. In a national context, it can be argued that Dietmar Rothermund liberated South Asian studies in Germany from the "academic ivory tower".


The South-Asia Institute in Heidelberg (SAI)

Rothermund had close ties to the South Asia Institute in Heidelberg. Almost his entire academic career took place at the then still young South Asia Institute, which had just been founded by

. Under Rothermund's leadership, the Institute developed rapidly, and shortly after Rothermund's retirement in 2001, the SAI was considered the leading centre for South Asian studies in Germany and also one of the leading institutes in this field worldwide. With Dietmar Rothermund, the Heidelberg South Asia Institute became an important contact point for Indian scientists, diplomats and politicians. The important role Rothermund played for the SAI becomes clear with the joking name of "Dietmar's Institute", which colleagues liked to use frequently.


European Association of South Asian Studies (EASAS)

The EASAS emerged from a small conference organised by the Heidelberg South Asia Institute in Bad Herrenalb in 1966. The first official meeting of the European Conference of Modern South Asian Studies took place in

(1997-2006), EASAS developed into one of the most important European associations of its kind. In 2001, on the occasion of Rothermund's retirement, the 17th conference was held in Heidelberg with over 250 international participants. The regularly held meetings gave Europe a significant position for South Asian studies worldwide.

in 1980, Dietmar Rothermund gathered a small group of like-minded people who wanted to try to bring "non-European topics" more into the focus of German historical scholarship. Rothermund saw this as his goal in the 1980s/90s. Since the first meeting in Würzburg in 1980, the " Arbeitskreis außereuropäischer Geschichte" (AAG) (engl. ''Working Group on Non-European History'') met regularly during the Historikertage. At the Historikertag in

The internal development of these countries and their position in the international context were part of the analysis of current problems and the attempt to point out longer-term perspectives.  Thus the topics of discussion (as of 30.06. 2000) were "India" (1990), "Pakistan" (1991), "

Cultural Exchange

The cultural exchange between Germany and South Asia was of great importance for Dietmar Rothermund. For decades, he was considered the number one contact person when Indian politicians visited Germany. He also frequently accompanied German ministers and other envoys on their South Asian tours. For this commitment and many other activities, Dietmar Rothermund was awarded the "Verdienstkreuz erster Klasse" (engl''. Federal Cross of Merit 1st Class'') in October 2011. Rothermund was also available for interviews on radio and television at any time, even though he very much regretted that he was only interviewed on the occasion of crises and disasters. In connection with his commitment to cultural exchange, the governmental Indo-German Consultative Group should also be mentioned. Rothermund had been a member of the institution founded by
Helmut Kohl Helmut Josef Michael Kohl (; 3 April 1930 – 16 June 2017) was a German politician who served as Chancellor of Germany from 1982 to 1998 and Leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) from 1973 to 1998. Kohl's 16-year tenure is the longes ...
