Chapter 2 Establishment of University of Dhaka in 1921. The University was established as compensation for the annulment of the 1905 Partition of Bengal. The partition had established East Bengal and Assam as a separate province, with Dhaka as its capital. However, the partition was abolished in 1911. It was established in 1921 as the first university in East Bengal. Following demands from Nawab Sir Khwaja Salimullah Bahadur and others, Viceroy Lord Harding proposed on 2 February 1912, that a new university should be established in this partition of Bengal. In 1913, public opinion was solicited before the university scheme was given its final shape, and the Secretary of State approved it in December 1913. The first vice-chancellor of the university was Philip Joseph Hartog, who had been academic registrar of the University of London for 17 years. Established in 1921, under the Dacca University Act 1920 of the Indian Legislative Council, the university is modelled after British universities. Academic activities started on July 1, 1921, with three faculties: Arts, Science, and Law. Classes were taught in 12 Departments: Sanskrit and Bengali, English, Education, History, Arabic and Islamic Studies, Persian and Urdu, Philosophy, Economics and Politics, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Law. Initially there were three dormitories for students: Salimullah Muslim Hall, Dacca Hall and Jagannath Hall. The university continued to grow under the direction of leaders including Harry Langley, A. F. Rahman, R. C. Majumdar, and Mahmud Hussain. Under Vice-Chancellor Hussain, the University consolidated its fundamental focus on academics. It also made national headlines when he extended an invitation to then-President of Pakistan, Ayub Khan, who declined citing 'security reasons'. This was the first of many subsequent refusals from high-ranking officials to visit East Pakistan. Now Dhaka University continuing to development under the direction of present Vice-Chancellor Abu Ahsan Mohammad Shamsul Arefin Siddique (born October 23, 1953). He took oath from former president Prof. Iajuddin Ahmed as a VC on January 15, 2009. He is a professor of Department of Mass Communication and Journalism at the University of Dhaka. Faculty of Fine Art was started in 1948 as a Government Institute of Arts, Johnson Road (old town). In the circumstances of 1947 May or June Muslims in government all over the India were given the option of going to Pakistan or remaining in India. All of the founders of the 2 Government Institute of Arts opted for Pakistan. Thus the teachers were in Pakistan but there was no institute for them to teach at. The teachers were transfer of administration. Zainul Abedin was drawing teacher at the Normal School; Shafiuddin at Collegiate School, Shafiqul Ameen at teachers Training College, Syed Ali Ahsan the draughtsman and Habibur Rahman were transferred to the Ahsanullah Engineering School, Anwarul Haque to the Chittagong Normal School. Sheikh Anwar who was the pressman in the Lithography Department in Calcutta Art School was also transferred to the Engineerinfg School (now Buet). Although the authorities had decided that an art institute would be established in Dhaka. But the Question comes to the fore why such an institute was urgently needed. Thus the responsibility fell on the pioneers to rally themselves and to explain the urgent necessity of art in each and every aspect of our daily lives. However, the fame and the stature that Zainul Abedin and Shafiuddin Ahmed had achieved made it impossible for the authorities to ever go back on the commitment to found the Institute. Among the government officials Qudrat-e-Khuda and Abul Kashem was another helpful and enthusiastic about the art institute. With the suggestion of Habibullah Bahar, Abedin arraged a poster exhibition the occasion of 14 August, Pakistan Day 1948.This would be illustrate the necessity of art as a powerful propaganda instrument and its usefulness at least in designing poster, illustrations, etc. Playing upon the sentiments of the newly independent Muslims the subject chosen was a chronological history of the first Muslim conquest of India to the birth of Pakistan. It was not a public exhibition, only invitees, high government officials and the elite were present. This successful exhibition made possible to birth of the Institute. With the co- operation of Salimullah Fahmi, Under Secretary in the Health Ministry the remaining problem of finding space for the institute was solved. Two rooms were allocated to the art institute at the almost non-functioning National Medical School building, which mainly housed files of the Health Ministry. Two rooms on the ground floor were allotted to the Government School of Arts under which title it was born. Calcutta Government Art School’s educational system served as a role model behind in its planning purposes. The first admission of students was published in the first week of September 1948 announcing that the admission test would be held on 15 September. All the 17 or 18 students sitting for the test were admitted. The course was arranged with two years elementary part, and three years of specialized course. After that, in 1956 a course on Draughtsmanship also offered through its own premises and discontinued it in 1964 as because the draughtsmanship course was then offered in Tejgaon Polytechnic Institute. It became affiliated college with the Dhaka University in 1963, changing its name to the East Pakistan College of Arts and Crafts. With the liberation of the country in 1971 it was called the Bangladesh Government College of Arts and Crafts. In 1983 it immerged with the Dhaka University as an institute of Institute of Fine arts”. Then in 2008, it was associated as a “Faculty of Fine arts, Dhaka University”. Major changes in the academic curriculum were made in 1963, 1978 and 1992 according to available records. There is academic stuff in our Faculty is 65 person, non-academic stuff is 15 and number of total students 800 (approx). 1.4.1.2 Background of establishment of the Department of Craft: As a continuation of art history craft is one of the majestical art-form in Bangladesh since ancient period. Craft is a versatile art form. It includes muslin (a cotton fabric of plain weave), jamdani sarees (one of the finest muslin textiles of Bengal), nokshi katha ( a type of embroidered quilt, is a centuries-old Bengali art tradition in Bangladesh), shitol pati (handmade mat of rattan or murta plant with traditional design), patachitra ( a general term for traditional, cloth-based scroll painting), shakher hari (decorated pots), 3 Laxmi sara (a pot with the image of the deity of Laxmi), wood made materials, dolls etc. Modern craft-art of Bangladesh is a very small part of the whole. The history of the craft department of the Dhaka University fine art faculty is also of some years only. Present faculty of fine art was established just 67 years ago in 1948 as government fine art institute. From the very beginning of this institute craft was included in the syllabus. Along with other subjects Shilpacharya (the great teacher of art, an honorary appendage) Zainul Abedin, the founder of the institute had a wish to provide a realistic and complete education on craft. But in that time he couldn’t achieve his target due to lack of scope and capable teacher. Artist Junabul Islam is the founder of the present craft department. In 1968 he was appointed as a teacher of craft department. At the beginning the students were trained in `tie and dye’ and `batik’. After that these two subject is included in the syllabus of Pre-degree and BFA (Bachelor of fine arts) as a subsidiary. BFA and MFA course under this department were started in 1982 and 1989 respectively. And the honors course was introduced under this department in 1992-1993 session. The main motto of this department is to uphold and promote the modern and creative form of the traditional craft practices. It also involve in the development of this art form. And from these perspective it is operating its academic program. The syllabus of this department is organized in such a way that the students can get a vivid knowledge on the two main part of craft i.e. a) applied craft and b) creative craft. The department try to make sure in building up the capability of the students in both side. The commercial opportunity of the applied craft is also a major consideration of the department.

    Iram Naseer Ahmad* COLONIAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE DISTRICT OF SHEIKHUPURA, 1849-1947 Abstract This research paper analyses the British colonial transformation in the district of Sheikhupura. The geographical, revenue, judicial and administrative changes have been understood in the sense of establishing a controlled society in the district. This paper sheds light on colonial changes in the district of Sheikhupura under the British raj from 1857 to 1947. The phenomenon of introducing a new administrative and revenue mechanism in Sheikhupura was a project that was not detached from imperialistic ambitions and designs of colonial power in whole of India. The new colonial administrative system, including the reorganization and demarcation of boundaries and setting up centralized administrative machinery particularly a strong revenue, police, and judicial system. Ironically, it was devised to effectively protect the “world monopoly of industrial production” in the British India. It was enforced effectively by a reconstitution of the power structure of the land which meant search for new allies. At the end the article examines the origin of new towns and tehsils in Sheikhupura after the advent of British rule. It observes that British colonialism altered the whole scenario in Sheikhupura which was considered of crucially important for initial colonial control in this district. Keywords: Sheikhupura, British, Imperialism, colonialism The era of British colonialism in the district of Sheikhupura has been divided into three stages.

  • Students, Space, and the State in East Pakistan/Bangladesh 1952-1990
    1 BEYOND LIBERATION: STUDENTS, SPACE, AND THE STATE IN EAST PAKISTAN/BANGLADESH 1952-1990 A dissertation presented by Samantha M. R. Christiansen to The Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of History Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts September, 2012 2 BEYOND LIBERATION: STUDENTS, SPACE, AND THE STATE IN EAST PAKISTAN/BANGLADESH 1952-1990 by Samantha M. R. Christiansen ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate School of Northeastern University September, 2012 3 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the history of East Pakistan/Bangladesh’s student movements in the postcolonial period. The principal argument is that the major student mobilizations of Dhaka University are evidence of an active student engagement with shared symbols and rituals across time and that the campus space itself has served as the linchpin of this movement culture. The category of “student” developed into a distinct political class that was deeply tied to a concept of local place in the campus; however, the idea of “student” as a collective identity also provided a means of ideological engagement with a globally imagined community of “students.” Thus, this manuscript examines the case study of student mobilizations at Dhaka University in various geographic scales, demonstrating the levels of local, national and global as complementary and interdependent components of social movement culture. The project contributes to understandings of Pakistan and Bangladesh’s political and social history in the united and divided period, as well as provides a platform for analyzing the historical relationship between social movements and geography that is informative to a wide range of disciplines.

  • Indian Freedom Fighters in Central Asia (1914-1939)
    Zahid Anwar INDIAN FREEDOM FIGHTERS IN CENTRAL ASIA (1914-1939) The people of subcontinent considered national freedom precious asset and at the out set of British imperialism in India they embarked on a voyage to get back their cherished freedom. Their aim was one and that was freedom, but people with different bent of mind used different means to achieve that goal, some opted for constitutional means others for outright arm and struggle against imperialism. On the eve of First World War, the Muslims of British India were at the horns of dilemma; on the one hand British rulers sought their help in the war while on the other their co-religionists Turks were in the opposite camp along with Germany against Britain. The entry of Turkey in the War in November 1914 on the side of Germany roused a widespread Pan-Islamic and nationalist sentiments among the millions of Muslims in South Asia including Afghanistan. The Sultan of Turkey, who was the successor of Khalifa and the head of Islamic world in the eyes of orthodox Muslims, wrote a letter to the Amir of Afghanistan asking him to proclaim a crusade against the imperialists and not to refrain from announcing a Holy War (Jihad) against Britain and instigating the frontier tribes against (British) India.1 This news reached the subcontinent that the Sultan had declared war and that he had also asserted that this war was a Jihad. The famous Egyptian Pan-Islamist, Abdul Aziz Shawesh was appointed by the committee of Union and Progress to work against the Allies.

He achieved personal success and had contributed massively towards the development and progress of the Muslims of South Asia. He challenged traditional trends and showed a new path of modernity, through western education, to his community. However, in order to do so, he established friendly relations with the colonial masters, showed them his loyalty and pursued them for support. This paper is an attempt to find out that how much the British patronage helped Syed in achieving his goal and what was the impact of the strategy, he adopted. Keywords: British; Loyalism; Muslims; South Asia; Syed Ahmad Khan Introduction Syed Ahmad Khan is considered as one of the most respected personalities amongst the Muslims of South Asia.

His contributions towards the promotion of modern education were enormous and second to none amongst his contemporaries. His dedication for education and his practical investment in the field had a great impact on the future development of the Muslim community in the region.

The primary data were directly collected from residential students of DU in three segments (desired service, minimum service, and perception) using the modified SERVQUAL questionnaire. Different types of measures were calculated as necessitated by the study. The outcome of the study shows that maximum service items fall short of meeting the user’s need. The study recommended also some exploratory guidelines for improving the present library performance. Key words: Library performance measurement, Dhaka University, Residential hall library.
