Notice biographique
Major J.R. Cunningham was part of the Indian Government. In 1930 J.R. Cunningham, the then Director of Public Information of Assam, issued a circular imposing a blanket ban on any anti-British and pro-swadeshi activity by students. It seems he was stationed in Jabalpur in 1939 and also visited Mashhad in the same year. The membership list of the Society for 1947 has him listed as Lieutenant-Colonel Cunningham and living in Tunbridge Wells.

Histoire administrative
The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland was founded by the eminent Sanskrit scholar Sir Henry Thomas Colebrooke on the 15th March 1823. It received its Royal Charter from King George IV on the 11th August 1824 'for the investigation of subjects connected with and for the encouragement of science, literature and the arts in relation to Asia'. It continues as a forum for those who are interested in the languages, cultures and history of Asia to meet and exchange ideas.
