This second part of the IQAS special issue on "Knowledge on the Move" extends the critical exploration of knowledge circulation in Asia. Building on the foundations laid in Part I, which underscored the pivotal role of translation in facilitating knowledge movement, Part II delves into diverse contexts across Asia. The first article investigates ethnic activism in Nepal, revealing how a language of ethnicity evolved through translation acts, connecting local, national, and global audiences. The second article explores the socio-cultural unity of the Rang people across the Nepal-India border, navigating differing minority policies and ethnonyms. The third article examines Indian immigrants' agency in shaping interregional mobility and connectivity, focusing on protests in North America and the Philippines in the early 20th century. Finally, the fourth article explores the role of photojournalism in interwar Japan, specifically in women's magazines, shaping an imagined geography of a multicultural Japanese empire. Collectively, these articles offer rich insights into the complexities of knowledge movement, highlighting its transformative potential in diverse Asian contexts.
