  • Evolution and Assessment of South Asian Folk Music: a Study of Social and Religious Perspective

South Asia has too many colorful nations and they owned different culture from the very beginning. Folk music is like a treasure of South Asian culture. According to history, South Asian people established themselves here as a nation (Arya) before five thousand years from today and started to live with native people. So a perfect mixture of two ancient nations and their culture produced a new South Asia. This paper explores the massive changes that happened to South Asian folk music which creates several ways to correspond to their root and how they are different from each other. After many natural disasters and political changes, South Asian people faced many socio-economic conditions but there was the only way to share their feelings. They articulated their sorrows, happiness, wishes, prayers, and love with music, celebrated social and religious festivals all the way through music. As a result, bunches of folk music are being created with different lyric and tune in every corner of South Asia.

  • Few Words About Dohar
    Few words about Dohar For the first time in Kolkata, a group of young energetic people came together to present the ‘songs of the soil’ of Bengal and the North-East in 1999. That was the beginning of DOHAR. DOHAR the Bengali word, which means Chorus, following a solo lead voice, is a manifestation of the basic spirit with which this singing group was formed. Our mission is to cater the rustic songs of the soil to the urban and rural mass in its original form and flavour. We are thus the chorus of those illustrious bauls and fakirs of greater Bengal and northeast. We are also involved in an endeavour to form an archive of this treasure chest of tunes and philosophy. DOHAR is a group of folk musicians of international repute – a platform for cultural personalities, who consider this world as a musical bonanza and intends to energise it’s inhabitants with the melodious power of folk tunes, specially of greater Bengal as well as the North Eastern States of the Country. In brief, DOHAR is an endless journey of music having strong connections with the root, on one hand and going beyond all boundaries, on the other. DOHAR demonstrates, represents, produces and works on 30-35 folk forms specially from North eastern part of India, West Bengal & Bangladesh and use to play more than 25 different kind of etnic/folk instruments of India. The genres of folk song DOHAR used to perform : Baul (the devine songs of a Community called Baul in Bengal), Bhatiyali (songs, specially related to river of East Bengal), Bhawaiya (the basic melody of North Bengal), Chatka (the faster form of bhawaiya), Jhumur (the basic melody of some part of South Bengal which also use to sung among the tea garden`s labours of Assam and North-Bengal), Saarigaan(songs of boat racing, harvesting etc) Jaari gaan (songs in the memory of kaarvala, sung in muharram month of muslim calendar), Gaajan/Charak(songs of a carnival of Shiva in the last day of bengali year), Dhamail-geet (songs of different festival), Patriotic folk songs, Bihu-Kamrupi(the songs of Assam),etc.

  • Gvbca: Celebrating and Incorporating Bengali Culture in Multicultural Canada
    SANZIDA HABIB AND HAFIZUL ISLAM GVBCA: CELEBRATING AND INCORPORATING BENGALI CULTURE IN MULTICULTURAL CANADA 1. INTRODUCTION Bangladeshi Bengalis carry their love and pride for their cultural heritage and linguistic and religious identities wherever they travel or migrate. No matter where they settle, most of them generally want and try to build a home away from home by practicing and preserving their rich national heritage and cultural legacies. The Bangladeshi Canadians in Greater Vancouver are no exception, and that is why there is a GVBCA – Greater Vancouver Bangladesh Cultural Association. The total number of Bangladeshi Bengalis living in Greater Vancouver is hard to ascertain, but a large number of them come together to socialize, celebrate Bengali culture, and observe important national days and events of Bangladesh organized by GVBCA. We, the President and Secretary of GVBCA, will outline a historical overview of this organization along with its main mandates, milestones and achievements. The mission, significance and contribution of this organization have been assessed and narrated in the relative contexts of the missions and activities of other important Bangladeshi/Bengali organizations. Additionally, some of the major challenges of the Association have been discussed alongside the broader vision and future prospects of this organization. There has been little official documentation of the history and activities of this organization, and this is likely the first ever comprehensive documentation and presentation related to GVBCA delivered at an academic conference. The information presented in this paper is derived from the constitution and contents found on the website of GVBCA. It is also based on the first author’s personal observation and insider experience credited to her involvement in the organization as a current Executive Committee member, and her role as a community member, activist, organizer and performer for almost 10 years.

  • Cultural Ecology of the Fishing Communities
    CHAPTER 3 CULTURAL ECOLOGY OF THE FISHING COMMUNITIES This chapter deals with cultural ecology of the three traditional fishing communities of the Barak Valley; viz., Patni, Kaivartya and Mahimal. Each one of the communities Is engaged with fishing in the Shonebeel and the Barak river fisheries. In the Shonebeel fishery, they are inhabiting Devadwar, Kalyanpur and Belala. While in the Barak river they are inhabiting Netaji Nagar, Radha Nagar and Balighat respectively. The communities and their cultural ecology have been discussed to understand how the ecological conditions (environment / natural setting and resources) have shaped their culture (way of life) in the Barak Valley, specially under impact of fishing, on the one hand, and how cultural practices and products conceive and modify their environment and occupations. Hence, there is a particular cultural setting of the interactions between the fishing communities and their environment, and the setting determine the nature and range of the interactions. With these views, cultural ecology of the communities is presented in the following discussion. THE COMMUNITIES The three communites - Patni, Kaivartya, Mahimal - derived their occupations, lifestyles and social status from the fish resource. In order to understand their cultural ecology the historical origin and interaction pattern of the communities needs to be probed. 74 The Patni The word 'Patni' refers to the people coming from Patna. The Patni believe that they moved from Patna (Bihar) to Jaldhup village (Bangladesh) in the 16*^ century for trading. But in some natural calamity they lost everything and they had to stay permanently in this area. They took up boat sailing for livelihood and have therefore come to be recognized as the boatmen (Majhis) and not as traders.

Not only have our students (and faculty) distinguished themselves with all kinds of academic glories, but we have also maintained our reputation as a formidable force in Bangaldeshi youth sports and arts. At the same time, our students and faculty have ventured out into the world to build bridges and gain exposure in the international community. In the past year, we have worked hard to further strengthen and develop our facilities and academics in many ways, including: We have introduced the DigiClass system in our senior section and will be expanding it to the middle schools next year. We started working on installing air-conditioners in all the classrooms of the school, which will be functional from September. We launched a swimming program in our Mirpur campus, that is open to all students from Class III onwards, including a program to teach beginners how to swim. We have introduced a new Maths workbook in the junior school, and completed the development of two new Kindergarten English workbooks and a Bangladesh Studies book for Class III and IV which will be launched next year. A foreign consultant helped us to design and pilot a skills lab program in the middle school, which will be expanded in the Middle Uttara and Mirpur campus next year, addressing the special needs of students in English and Maths. We inaugurated the use of the STM Hall in the Mirpur campus, and are working on completing the construction of the Mirpur campus and all its facilities over the summer.
