Phaleristics
Ed Haynes
This is a essentially a place-holding home page only at present.
Watch this space for developments.
"Phaleristics"? A strange deviation? Maybe . . . .
Phalera. LOOK IT UP.
Phaleristics. DERIVE IT.
Major interests in
the orders, decorations, and medals of India (pre- and post-1947),
other South Asia (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Sikkim, Bhutan, etc.),
of the Arab World (the twenty-two member states of the Arab League), and
labor awards of the socialist world.
Also the maintainer of the recently-hacked so now-offline International Electronic Phaleristic Encyclopedia.
My "hobby" interests extend into some of my recent academic work:

Izzat: Representing Honor in the Indian ‘Princely’ States, 1858-1970,”
presented to the Conference “Indirect Rule in Africa and
India: Colonial ‘Traditionalism’ and Its Legacy in the (post)Modern
World,” Yale University, New Haven, CT, March 2001
“Wearing
Honour: The Introduction of Tangible Representations of Honor into the
Rajputana States,” presented to the Fourth International Conference on
Rajasthan, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, December 2001
