    Profile Department of English& Culture Studies The University of Burdwan About the Department: The Department of English, an integral part of the University of Burdwan since its inception in 1960 is poised at an interface of tradition and contemporaneity, as envisioned by the change of nomenclature into Department of English and Culture Studies in 2014. The Department has, over the time, evolved into a dynamic space for innovations in syllabus and research activities. Starting off with a conventional mould in course structure, the Department of English and Culture Studies, in keeping with the needs of a rapidly changing world, has gradually incorporated new components such as Comparative Literature, American Literature, Australian Literature, Canadian Literature, Translation Studies, Dalit Studies and Popular Culture. The Department has been offering and supervising PhD. Programme since its inception; the M.Phil Course was initiated in 1990. The Departmental journal is annually published since 1984. Since 1993, faculty improvement programmes, such as Refresher Course, are facilitated by the Department in collaboration with the University Academic Staff College. Since 2010, the Department has been continuing with the unique enterprise of organizing Young Researchers’ National conference, with the aim of providing an intellectual space for young researchers to discuss and disseminate their research activities. In 1997, Australian Literature Study Centre was established, which was renamed Centre for Australian Studies in 2003. In 2011, the department received UGC assistance at the level of DRS – I for the project titled “Reconstructing the Cultural Map: Literatures in English in Asia and the Asia Pacific”.This project does not obviously engulf the whole of Asia and the Asia Pacific; rather the thrust is on those areas of Asia and the Asia Pacific where literatures in English have emerged as a distinctive literary and cultural form.

  • Remembering the Bengali Contribution During the First World War Page 1 of 3
    South Asia @ LSE: Remembering the Bengali contribution during the First World War Page 1 of 3 Remembering the Bengali contribution during the First World War The First World War seems to be part of a distant past for most Bengalis, with the new generation of UK’s Bengali diaspora being left out of the nation’s collective memorialisation. A more inclusive remembrance of the First World War is required to address this, writes Ansar Ahmed Ullah, who recalls Bengal’s contribution during World War One. At present the UK is commemorating the Centenary of the end of the First World War. This research, supported by Big Ideas and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is part of ‘The Unremembered’, a project commemorating the bravery and sacrifice of the Labour Corps throughout the First World War during which the Indian army provided the largest volunteer army in the world. During the War Britain had called on its Empire and 1.5 million Indian soldiers and 1.3 million Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders and South Africans fought on the allied side. For many memories of the war are kept alive either through their own family history and local communities. Because of its long-term impact on society and the world we live in today, nations, communities and individuals across the world have for the last three years come together to mark, commemorate and remember the lives of those who lived, fought and died in the First World War. The UK Bengali community however, seems to be indifferent towards the commemoration.

  • Life of William Carey, Shoemaker and Missionary
    Life of William Carey, Shoemaker and Missionary Author(s): George Adam Smith Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: William Carey is often considered the ªfather of modern missionsº as his missionary work in India set the standard for Christian evangelism. This biography, written by George Smith within 50 years of Carey's death, tells the missionary's story. Smith's admiration of the author is obvious, but this partiality does not take away from the project as a whole. Along with taking the reader through Carey's life, he also in- cludes many of the missionary's personal letters and ser- mons, allowing readers to engage with Carey as intimately.

  • Diasporic Culture of Bangladesh- 18Th to 20Th Centuries by Sharif Uddin
    Diasporic Culture of Bangladesh - 18th to 20th Centuries Sharif uddin Ahmed Abstract From time immemorial the mass movement of people and tribe has been going on. The area which now constitutes SAARC countries is no exception. Bangladesh is one of the important members of SAARC. It has however a rich history of its own. The land of Bangladesh being extremely fertile and the climate moderate, the outward movement of people seemed to have been less in the past. Rather more and more people were drawn to its bound from different directions for settlement giving rise to a unique growth of mixed cultural development. Any significant diaspora of Bangladeshi people seems to be of recent origin. This is more due to exploring the outside world rather than finding alternative locations for livelihood. The people of Bangladesh have deep feelings for their culture and their language. These two things they would never give up wherever they go. In the present article I have however emphasised that a dramatic change has recently occurred in the diasporic culture of Bangladesh owing to an unprecedented growth of population. It is a small country of 55,000 square miles but now has a population of about 160 million. The outside movement of people are thus taking place in extensive manner. In this article I have also made a historical review of the diasporic culture of Bangladeshi people. I have examined the causes of this movement, and touched upon the nature of this diaspora. I have also indicated the destinations to 52 Sharif uddin Ahmed which the people of Bangladesh are heading for.
