  • CONSTRUCTION of BENGALI MUSLIM IDENTITY in COLONIAL BENGAL, C
    CONSTRUCTION OF BENGALI MUSLIM IDENTITY IN COLONIAL BENGAL, c. 1870-1920. Zaheer Abbas A thesis submitted to the faculty of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Yasmin Saikia Daniel Botsman Charles Kurzman ABSTRACT Zaheer Abbas: Construction of Bengali Muslim Identity in Colonial Bengal, c. 1870-1920 (Under the direction of Yasmin Saikia) This thesis explores the various discourses on the formation of Bengali Muslim identity in colonial Bengal until 1920s before it becomes hardened and used in various politically mobilizable forms. For the purpose of this thesis, I engage multiple articulations of the Bengali Muslim identity to show the fluctuating representations of what and who qualifies as Bengali Muslim in the period from 1870 to 1920. I critically engage with new knowledge production that the colonial census undertook, the different forms of non-fictional Bengali literature produced by the vibrant vernacular print industry, and the views of the English-educated Urdu speaking elites of Bengal from which can be read the ensemble of forces acting upon the formation of a Bengali Muslim identity. I argue that while print played an important role in developing an incipient awareness among Bengali Muslims, the developments and processes of identity formulations varied in different sites thereby producing new nuances on Bengali Muslim identity. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter INTRODUCTION……………………………………………………………..1 Debate on Bengali Muslim identity…………………………………..............3 I.

  • The Range of Essays in Asia and the Historical Imagination Is As Wide-­ Ranging in Subject Interests As in Perspectives
    CODA The range of essays in Asia and the Historical Imagination is as wide-­ ranging in subject interests as in perspectives. Even though they only begin to scratch the surface of other modes of inquiry that can be applied to the study of historical fiction, their authors’ introspection has raised important observations about what more can be done, both in terms of cross-inter- disciplinary approaches to research and teaching, and in terms of the more theoretical and practical limitations scholars face in rethinking the links between historical inquiry and the study of literature. The editorial limita- tions of this volume have, in part, already responded to this issue. Asia and the Historical Imagination is itself an ambitious title; geographically, Asia is the largest and most populous of the seven continents; culturally, it is arguably the most diverse. This modest volume, which covers only eight countries and their multicultural peoples, is only a small sample of what the Asian continent represents. Nonetheless, by responding to this volume’s scaled-down vision of Asia, the contributors have also addressed concerns about the academic community’s vulnerability in simplifying historical nar- ratives in this part of the world. In noting the shared histories of colonial and anti-colonial experiences in many Asian countries, Wang Gungwu cau- tioned that colonial powers like the British, Dutch, and French all had very different ideas of nationhood: “Under the circumstances, attempts to find common ground for Southeast Asian nations were limited to broad gener- alizations about overcoming colonialism and building nation-states on more or less Western models,” and more importantly, “[w]henever the © The Author(s) 2018 201 J.

  • Trees Traditions from Around the World Bamboo Is Considered to Be
    Trees Traditions from Around the World lBamboo is considered to be one of the most auspicious elements in traditional Asian cultures. Symbolically, it stands for longevity, friendship, diligence, and adaptableness. In Japanese culture, bamboo trees surround many shrines, as its sacredness is known to keep the evil spirits at bay.. lAmong the Newar community of Nepal, an interesting ancient tradition, known as ‘Ihi or Bel Biha’, requires that a young girl often 7 or 8 years old, be married to a ‘Bel tree’ or to its green fruit called ‘Bel’. This custom is still in practice and the young girls are considered widow only after the fall of the respective trees. lA legend about the origin of the Christmas tree tells us that Martin Luther, founder of the Protestant faith, walking through the forest one Christmas Eve, was awed by the beauty of the stars shinning through the branches of the evergreen trees. He cut a small tree and took it home. To recreate the same starlight beauty, he placed candles on all its branches. lThe Old Irish name for Fir is Ailm meaning that which goes forward, will or desire. The spirit or Genii of the Forest is traditionally depicted holding an uprooted Fir tree according to Scandinavian folklore. The Fir tree has strong connections with the owner of the land where it stands. Should a Fir tree ever be struck by lightning or begin to wither, it is said that the owner will die.

Published With Open Access At Www.Questjournals.Org ABSTRACT: Sundarbans is a world Heritage site. It is an abode of thousands of animals and trees. The mangrove forest is the source of livelihood of the inhabitants of Sundarbans. Their dependence on the forest is historical. Through generations, they have built this 'we-feeling' as forest-dwellers. Their unique way of life is preserved in their cultural traits. 'Bonbibi' myth is one of the examples where the forest life of Sundarbans is portrayed adequately. The strong ethnic feelings lead to the preservation of mangrove forests of Sundarbans as these people think that they have nothing beyond this forest. Now-a-days, they are promoting plantation of trees through collective action. Along with this, Govt. initiatives have helped to improve the preservation of mangrove forests of Sundarbans. The environment makes their life vulnerable and this vulnerability binds them together. Unitedly, they fight with everyday problems. This physical unity brings cultural bonding. The mangrove forest is a companion to their struggle. This natural connection between human and forest promotes the sense of preservation among the human being. Both, secondary data and primary data have been used for this present study.

  • Religion, Nature, and Life in the Sundarbans
    Sufia M. Uddin Connecticut College Religion, Nature, and Life in the Sundarbans The Sundarbans is the largest mangrove forest in the world, spanning across the borders of Bangladesh and India. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site recognized for its ecological uniqueness and importance to all humanity. The Sundarbans is home to diverse species and some of the poorest twelve million people in the world. Hindu and Muslim fisherfolk and honey collec- tors who call this place home share a respect for the forest and venerate Bon- bibi (Forest Lady), who they believe reigns over the forest and its inhabitants. For them, she offers protection. This article argues that in their ritual and ethical practices, these Muslims and Hindus treat the Sundarbans as sacred land. It is sacred because it provides all they need to live a sustainable life. This study combines textual analysis of the epic poem about Bonbibi entitled the Jahuranama with ethnographic studies and field visits. Keywords: Bengali—Bonbibi—fisherfolk—forest—Hindu—honey collector—Muslim—sacred groves Asian Ethnology Volume 78, Number 2 • 2019, 289–309 © Nanzan University Anthropological Institute As the Bonbibi puja begins, in front of the forest gods stretches a thick carpet of flowers and food, a feast of scent and sound, a luxurious stage upon which the gods can play, seduced and intoxicated with comfort and delight. The priest, kneeling and bowing to the images, tweaks his own ears, then his nostrils. This is a way of purifying himself and apologizing for any errors he might commit in the puja . the priest mimics the tweaking a Bengali mother might use to gen- tly reprimand a naughty son.

  • An Ethnographic Study of Banabibi Palagaan Performers in Sunderbans
    Apurba Goswami Sadaf wani Krishna Raj Fellowship, 2017. An ethnographic study of Banabibi Palagaan performers in Sunderbans. Acknowledgement We would like to thank the Organizing Committee, Krishna Raj Summer Traveling Fellowships 2017 for the wonderful opportunity to conduct our first fieldwork. Professor Radhika Chopra and professor Yasmeen Arif have been very helpful with their initial guide. We would like to thank professor Janaki Abraham, professor Ashwini Deshpande for their guidance throughout. We would like to thank Professor Sujit Kumar Mandal, department of Comparative Literature, Jadavpur University, for his sincere guidance. Our fieldwork would have been thousand times difficult without Debabrata, who was our guide, comrade and friend during our days in Bali. We would like to thank late Gabinda Mandal, Debi Mahato, Gurupada Mandal, Dinanath Mandal, Anuja Adhikari, Nirupama didi, Anuja didi’s daughter Pratyusha and everybody else whom we met during our fieldwork. This fellowship gave us the first exposure to fieldwork, its limitations and the mysterious world of anthropological praxis; the beauty of it. Memory of it will always comprise images fragmented, certain smells, trees, and; wonderful people of Sundarban, whom we thank from all our heart. Introduction Banabibi Palagaan is a performative tradition practiced exclusively in West Bengal and Bangladesh, and is closely linked to the cult of Banabibi in Sundarbans. The name of the tradition is composed of two words, Banabibi and Palagaan, where ‘Ban’ is Bengali for ‘Forest’ and ‘Bibi’ retains its Persian meaning, and refers to a ‘lady’, thus ‘Banabibi’ literally comes to mean ‘lady of the forest’. Palagaan on the other hand is an old tradition concerned with performance in the form of narration of verses.

  • Making and Breaking of Bengali Hindu Women: Placing Partition Memoirs by Bengali Hindu Women Against “Broto Katha”
    / 135 Making and Breaking of Bengali Hindu Women: Placing Partition Memoirs by Bengali Hindu Women against “Broto Katha” PALLAB DAS I hen one looks at the word “woman” from the perspective of gender, it always Wcomes with some predefined notions, in most cases defined by the representatives of patriarchy, which also provides the whole thing with a flavour of social politics of gender. Even Tagore had to write that a “woman” is half her womanhood and half a man’s imagination. In her inaugural speech on 9th March 1989 at a seminar titled Indian Women: Myth and Reality, Ashapurna Devi says: “Women have always been misled by the imposed ideal of womanhood. Be it her gentle manners and natural tenderness, or her lack of physical strength, she has always found herself hidden behind a mist of illusions, fenced in on all sides and forced away from the real world into the seclusion of a helpless and dispossessed life. It is the unfair system that fostered the absurd notion - that she has no place in the world of work outside her home. Man is the maker of that world, and a woman’s duty is to make him a home.”1 At the advent of civilisation, the texture was essentially matriarchal. Probably the priority was given to the fertile nature of womanhood. Gradually with the growing complexity, the patriarchy took control over society and the first thing it did was to prove its rival gender subordinate. This hypothesis falls fine with almost every civilisation in the world, including India. To confirm the superiority of the “man” they very cunningly defined religion and gendered its concepts in favour of them.

  • Environs and Cults: Tracing the Roots of the Social-Psychological Paradigm of Folk Existence in Deltaic Lower Bengal
    Journal of Anthropology and Archaeology June 2014, Vol. 2, No. 1, pp. 147-161 ISSN: 2334-2420 (Print), 2334-2439 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). 2014. All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development Environs and Cults: Tracing the Roots of the Social-Psychological Paradigm of Folk Existence in Deltaic Lower Bengal Nupur Dasgupta1 Abstract The Sundarbans in linguistic Bengal in the Indian Subcontinent constitutes a unique ecosystem. Living conditions in these environs have been riddled with specific bounties as well as hazards. Historical records since the early medieval times reveal how society has created its own mechanisms for physical and psychological sustenance in these natural conditions. With time these have manifested in the form of a number of cults and rituals at the grassroots. They got mingled with higher cultures which came later into the region, giving birth to a variety of significant faiths like those propitiating the Goddesses Manasa, Candi, Sitala and the Bon Bibi - bridging the cultural divides. Review of historical data since early medieval times reveal how these faiths and practices have been crystallized into a cultural paradigm embraced by popular folk society in need of psychological solace in the face of imminent threats of devastating natural and health conditions. Keywords: Lower Bengal Delta, Cults, Mansa, Candi, Bon Bibi, Sitala Introduction The varied geo - environmental systems in the region of linguistic Bengal has had tremendous impact upon human settlement rationale and existential factors. These factors shaped the economic parameters and social practices, leading to formation of patterns of living – in – nature and living – with – nature.
