An Introduction to the Sattra Culture of Assam: Belief, Change in Tradition
Journal of Ethnology and Folkloristics 12 (2): 21–47 DOI: 10.2478/jef-2018-0009 AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SATTRA CULT URE OF ASSAM: BELIEF, CHANGE IN TRADITION AND CURRENT ENTANGLEMENT BABURAM SAIKIA PhD Student Department of Estonian and Comparative Folklore University of Tartu Ülikooli 16, 51003 Tartu, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In 16th-century Assam, Srimanta Sankaradeva (1449–1568) introduced a move- ment known as eka sarana nama dharma – a religion devoted to one God (Vishnu or Krishna). The focus of the movement was to introduce a new form of Vaishnava doctrine, dedicated to the reformation of society and to the abolition of practices such as animal sacrifice, goddess worship, and discrimination based on caste or religion. A new institutional order was conceptualised by Sankaradeva at that time for the betterment of human wellbeing, which was given shape by his chief dis- ciple Madhavadeva. This came to be known as Sattra, a monastery-like religious and socio-cultural institution. Several Sattras were established by the disciples of Sankaradeva following his demise. Even though all Sattras derive from the broad tradition of Sankaradeva’s ideology, there is nevertheless some theological seg- mentation among different sects, and the manner of performing rituals differs from Sattra to Sattra. In this paper, my aim is to discuss the origin and subsequent transformations of Sattra as an institution. The article will also reflect upon the implication of traditions and of the process of traditionalisation in the context of Sattra culture. I will examine the power relations in Sattras: the influence of exter- nal forces and the support of locals to the Sattra authorities.

IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 19, Issue 1, Ver. V (Jan. 2014), PP 56-60 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Contribution of Gauripur zamindar Raja Prabhat Chandra Barua: - A historical analysis Rabindra Das Assistant Professor, Department of History,Bholanath College, Dhubri, India Abstract: The zamindary of Gauripur situated in the district of Goalpara (undivided), now present district of Dhubri. Gauripur zamindary is larger in size than any other zamindary in Goalpara. The size of zamindary was 355 square miles. It was originated from the Nankar receipt from Mughal Emperor Jahangir. Kabindra Patra was appointed to the post of Naib kanangu of the thana Rangamati, situated near Gauripur. His descendants had enjoyed the office of Kananguship for more than 300 years. The zamindars of Gauripur are mainly feudal in nature. Their main motive was to occupy land and possessed a vast tract of land in the 2nd decade of 17th century. The zamindars of Gauripur were conservative in their outlook but some of the zamindars of Gauripur paid their attention to benevolent public works. Once a time western Assam was more advance than eastern Assam because of the benevolent activities of Gauripur zamindars. Raja Prabhat Chandra Barua was one of the zamindars in Gauripur zamindary who paid attention to develop the society in every sphere. He was an exchequer in the public works, viz. education 52%, hospital 16%, sadabrata 18%, donation 12%, and public health 2%. Thus he contributed in every aspect of society, education, art, culture, economic, and so on for the welfare of the mass people.
