The Gun Island, is the latest novel of Amitav Ghosh who was born in Calcatta and grew up in Bangladesh. His first novel in the Ibis triology, Sea of Poppies, was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2008.His Gun Island was published on June 6th 2019 by John Murray. In this story we find such a world which is increasing displacement and unstoppable transition. But it is also a tale of a man believing in the world and the future is restored by two remarkable women.The novel begins with a promise and the reader expects Ghosh’s love for history and his remarkable storytelling to treat her with an engrossing tale. The book deals with a three-hundred-year-old oral tale of Chand Sadagar who travelled across the world, pursuing wealth and incurring the wrath of goddess Manasa Devi, to whom he ignores to pledge his allegiance. The central character of the book is the narrator- Deen, or Dinanath Dutta, a rare book dealer.

  • Resilience to Climate Change in Industrial Shrimping in Bangladesh: Assessing the Comparative Role of the Stakeholders
    sustainability Article Resilience to Climate Change in Industrial Shrimping in Bangladesh: Assessing the Comparative Role of the Stakeholders Shaikh Mohammad Kais 1 and Md Saidul Islam 2,* 1 Department of Sociology, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi 6205, Bangladesh; [email protected] or [email protected] 2 Division of Sociology, Nanyang Technological University Singapore, 48 Nanyang Avenue, Singapore 639818, Singapore * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Over the last few decades, the global shrimp aquaculture industry has grown consider- ably and experienced important transformations in coastal regions in the Global South. However, despite being a major contributor to GDP and export earnings of the country, the shrimp industry in Bangladesh is not yet fully developed. This important sector is often plagued by numerous environmental challenges including frequent climate disasters. To address local climate perturba- tions, the shrimping industry undertakes a wide range of individual, communal, and institutional level resilience activities. Drawing on primary data collected through ethnography and qualitative interviews in three shrimping communities, this paper examines the nature, effects, and efficacy of resilience strategies adopted by various stakeholders in the shrimp industry in coastal Bangladesh. This research demonstrates that there is a clearly visible resilience gradient in the shrimp aquaculture industry in Bangladesh: individual shrimp farmers and households play a pivotal role in resilience enhancement, while other stakeholders including community, state, and civil society organizations have moderate-to-little involvement in aiding resilience in the sector. The study offers a series of recommendations for resilience to climate change. Citation: Kais, S.M.; Islam, M.S.

  • 'Behula' and 'Phullora'
    P: ISSN No. 2231-0045 RNI No. UPBIL/2012/55438 VOL.-7, ISSUE-1, August-2018 E: ISSN No. 2349-9435 APeriodic…..A…. Research Dinesh Chandra Sen’s Two Books: 'Behula' and 'Phullora' Abstract Mangalkavya of the middle ages has been a topic of discussion and debate among the researchers of the world. As a result there has also been a steady rise in readership of Mangalkavya as more and more people have started reading it. Previous studies have revealed that th th Mangalkavya was composed from 15 to 18 century A.D. and it is regarded as a part of history of the middle ages. Dinesh chandraSen (1866-1939) is one such historian, who keeping in mind the narrative tradition of Manasamangal and Chandimangal composed the prose narratives of Behula(1907) and Phullora(1907) in the first decade of the 20th century. It was only possible for a true patriot like Dinesh chndraSen to represent these two female characters in stories that not only reflected the tradition and culture of Bengal but also reflected the nationalistic fervour of India. This study seeks to reveal whether in his endeavour Dinesh chandraSen had shown any originality and novelty keeping in mind the European/ Western trend of comprehending literature and history. Keywords: Bengali History, Representation of Past, Self Pride, National Literature, Historicity, Narrative of Mangalkavya,Behula, Phullora, Prose Narrative, Recovering History, Indigenous Culture, Analysis of Manuscripts, Glorious Period, Dinesh Chandrasen. Introduction After the creation of MangalKavya, related criticism did not stop. This discourse saw the gradual rise of a particular type of perspective.

  • Study on Utility and Revival Through Community Approach in Sundarbans Mangrove
    International Journal of Social Science : Vol. 3. No. 2, 191-203, June 2014 DOI Number 10.5958/2321-5771.2014.00101.X Study on Utility and Revival through Community approach in Sundarbans Mangrove Chandan Kumar Mondal1, Bholanath Mondal2 and Debashis Sarkar3 1Ramkrishna Ashram Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Nimpith, South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India 2&3Palli Siksha Bhavana, Visva-Bharati, Sriniketan, West Bengal, India Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Mangroves are salt tolerant group of tropical plants that generally grows in the inter-tidal zones of land and sea. The Sundarbans is the world’s largest mangrove forest covering Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna delta of India and Bangladesh. It protects the coastline of Bangladesh, and West Bengal of India from different environmental catastrophes and act as means of livelihood for numbers of people of both the countries. The population of mangrove species is declining rapidly due to continuous deforestation by the wood pirates, mafias and some other causes. Mangroves are normally propagated by seeds which are usually vivipary in nature. Seeds are buoyant and hence short and long distance dispersal occurs by tidal water. Attempt was made to propagate some of the true mangrove plants artificially. Nursery was raised collecting seeds in different ways. Vegetative propagation like cutting and layering were also tried and proved successful but tedious and time consuming. Seedlings from the seeds are better option for reproduction of the endangered species as well as for other species. Community involvement is a major factor in restoration of mangroves as different livelihood activities like bagda meen (seeds of tiger prawn- Penaeus monodon) collection, crab collection, fishing from the brackish water; establishment of brick industry and funeral place in river/coast bed, and conversion of river bed for other livelihood activities not only kills many seedlings but also posed a severe threat to the mangroves.

  • Report on Sundarbans
    Sundarbans: The Mangrove Greenery Heart of Bangladesh Zinat Afrose, 27 March 2021 Introduction: Our Sundarbans, the world’s largest mangrove forest covers a total area of 100,000 hectares and located in the deltas of southwest Bangladesh. The Sundarbans covers 4.2% of the total land area and 44% of the total forest land area in Bangladesh. It is a globally significant ecosystem rich with biodiversity that provides a habitat for around 334 plants and 375 animal species including the world-famous Royal Bengal Tiger, ferocious crocodile, lots of beautiful bird species, and different beneficial and recreational fish 210 species. The Sundarbans, covering about one million halves in the delta of the rivers Ganga, Brahmaputra and Meghna are shared between Bangladesh (60 %) and India (40 %) and is the world’s largest coastal wetland. Its mangrove forest acts as a natural flood barrier, protecting the coastal population from the devastating impact of cyclones that hit the region. Increased deforestation and the destruction of mangrove forests for the exploitation of high-value resources are leaving the coasts increasingly exposed and vulnerable to hurricanes, as well as depleting the region's rich biodiversity. https://www.google.com/search?q=sundarbans+images&sxsrf=ALeKk024drwzjGm1XwWeZjFD 9COwvn4LQ:1617293861754&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiigoKRud3vAhWJcn0KHa6PC1IQ_AUoAXo E CAEQAw&biw=1366&bih=647#imgrc=JRz84l8Ic2D0lM&imgdii=iBIBsarw1_31rM The Sundarbans is highly valuable because of its unique biodiversity and stunning natural beauty. Mangrove vegetation, tigers, crocodile, spotted deer, and rich birdlife make these tours appealing. The Sundarbans serve as a natural school for eco-tourists. Though the Royal Bengal Tiger is the most popular species in this rare mangrove forest, tourists can also enjoy many other natural wonders.

  • Folk-Poet Jibanananda Das:Perspective "Ruposhi Bangla"
    © 2019 JETIR October 2019, Volume 6, Issue 10 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Folk-poet Jibanananda Das:Perspective "Ruposhi Bangla" Dr. Bibhuti Bhusan Biswas Assistant Professor, Department of Bengali Thakur Panchanan Mahila Mahavidyalaya Cooch Behar, West Bengal, Pin- 736101 Koustav Neogi M.phil Scholar, CBPBU Cooch Behar, West Bengal. Dr. Rabindra Dey Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry, Cooch Behar College, Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India,Pin-736101 Recently, the word culture has been widely used. Many of us use it a lot without having a clear idea about the word. The massive wave of the culture conference can also be noticed. In these conferences mainly music, painting etc. are served while recitation of poems, literature, discussion, drama etc. are also recited. From all this it can be said that culture is intertwined with literature-music, dance, painting, drama etc. So Dr. Shashibhushan Dasgupta says, "A nation's literature, paintings, music, dance, etc., carry the identity of its culture, but culture cannot be seen as one with them - culture is an overall identity of national life - that identity is a feature of the nation's human religion." Various manifestations of that feature can be seen such as- rituals, literature-music, pictures, drama acting etc. However, there is no denying of the fact that the real idea of the common man about culture is not clear today. They think that religion and culture are the same things. Their idea is as many religions as there are cultures. But religion is a matter of the spiritual world and culture is a matter of the world.
