  • PBI Delays to Submit Charge-Sheet of Sahebganj Bagda Farm
    PBI Delays to Submit Charge-sheet of Sahebganj Bagda Farm Killing Sase, Santals Pursue Memorandum to DIG-Rangpur Santals from Rangpur divisions submitted memorandum to Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) of Rangpur Range Devdas Bhattacharya, around 12:30 pm on 17 July 2019, demanding immediate submission of the probe report in connection with the incident that killed three Santal men in the police firing at Sahebganj Bagda Farm under Gobindaganj upazila in Gaibandha district on November 6, 2016. Sahebganj Bagda Farm Bhumi Uddhar Sangram Committee in association with Jatiya Adivasi Parishad Parbatipur Upazila Committee, Adivasi Chatra Parishad Begum Rokeya University Unit and Kapaeeng Foundation jointly organized the memorandum-submission programme. In the memorandum signed by Philimon Baskey and Jafrul Islam Pradhan, President and General Secretary of Sahebganj Bagda Farm Bhumi Uddhar Sangram Committee respectively, Santals claimed that almost three years have already gone past by the violent attack against the Santal and the Bengali farmers at Sahebgonj Bagda-Farm, but Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) authority did not submit the investigation report yet which is direct violation of the order of the High Court Division of the Supreme Court. Besides, the investigation authority did not take the confession statement of victims and eye-witness under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure; the police member who set fire on the Santal’s houses were not arrested and brought under trial yet; the authority failed to arrest the corrupt Sugar Mill officials who were involved in leasing off the Mill’s land violating the terms and condition mentioned in land acquisition documents, etc.

  • State Denial, Local Controversies and Everyday Resistance Among the Santal in Bangladesh
    The Issue of Identity: State Denial, Local Controversies and Everyday Resistance among the Santal in Bangladesh PhD Dissertation to attain the title of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Submitted to the Faculty of Philosophische Fakultät I: Sozialwissenschaften und historische Kulturwissenschaften Institut für Ethnologie und Philosophie Seminar für Ethnologie Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg This thesis presented and defended in public on 21 January 2020 at 13.00 hours By Farhat Jahan February 2020 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Burkhard Schnepel Reviewers: Prof. Dr. Burkhard Schnepel Prof. Dr. Carmen Brandt Assessment Committee: Prof. Dr. Carmen Brandt Prof. Dr. Kirsten Endres Prof. Dr. Rahul Peter Das To my parents Noor Afshan Khatoon and Ghulam Hossain Siddiqui Who transitioned from this earth but taught me to find treasure in the trivial matters of life. Abstract The aim of this thesis is to trace transformations among the Santal of Bangladesh. To scrutinize these transformations, the hegemonic power exercised over the Santal and their struggle to construct a Santal identity are comprehensively examined in this thesis. The research locations were multi-sited and employed qualitative methodology based on fifteen months of ethnographic research in 2014 and 2015 among the Santal, one of the indigenous groups living in the plains of north-west Bangladesh. To speculate over the transitions among the Santal, this thesis investigates the impact of external forces upon them, which includes the epochal events of colonization and decolonization, and profound correlated effects from evangelization or proselytization. The later emergence of the nationalist state of Bangladesh contained a legacy of hegemony allowing the Santal to continue to be dominated.

  • Revisiting the Rights of the Adivasis in Bangladesh: a Critical Analysis
    Revisiting the Rights of the Adivasis in Bangladesh: A Critical Analysis Alida Binte Saqi Institute of Comparative Law Faculty of Law McGill University, Montreal August 2017 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of LL.M. (Thesis) © Alida Binte Saqi 2017 1 ABSTRACT The indigenous peoples (Adivasis in case of Bangladesh) of Bangladesh have been facing non- recognition under the legal framework of the country, i.e. the Constitution of Bangladesh. The hegemonic approach- Bangalee nationalism- introduced by the 15th amendment of the Constitution has added up to the historical struggle for recognition of the Adivasis. The thesis focuses on some practical issues and finds out the existence of the Adivasis rights in Bangladesh. The assimilation and integration process of the Adivasis exists in many ways, among them denial of recognition is main that leads to injustice. The rights of the Adivasis are assessed based on the rights of the ‘ethnic minorities’ and the ‘backward section’ as they are termed so in the State legislations. The thesis, taking a practical approach compares the indigenous peoples’ situation with Botswana. It also, provides for some measures that can be taken by the State, the Adivasis, and the international community to ensure justice. 2 Résumé Les peuples indigènes (Adivasis en cas de Bangladesh) du Bangladesh ont été confrontés à une non-reconnaissance dans le cadre juridique du pays, à savoir, la Constitution du Bangladesh. Une approche hégémonique du nationalisme Bangalee introduite par le 15eme amendement de la Constitution a contribué au combat historique pour la reconnaissance des Adivasis.

  • Occurrence and Diversity of Soil Microflora in Potato Fields of Bangladesh
    Occurrence and diversity of soil microflora in potato fields of Bangladesh ABSTRACT Microflora from potato rhizosphere soil was isolated from different potato fields of Bangladesh. Seventeen soil samples were analyzed for the presence of microflora in selected potato field soils. Seven (7) fungal species and one bacterium species were morphologically characterized using soil dilution and streak plate methods. The predominant fungi isolated including Alternaria sp., Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp., Rhizopus sp., Bipolaris sp., Phytophthora sp., Fusarium sp. and one bacterium was identified as Ralstonia solanacearum. Individual colonies of fungi and bacteria were counted on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) media and their presence in soil was compared in respect of different locations of potato fields. The occurrence of Phytophthora sp. was medium in Tongibari and lower in Singair Union, Sonargaon, Matlab Dakshin, Gobindaganj, Palashbari, Gopinathpur and Bagmara. The highest counts of R. solanacearum was found in Singair Union, Tongibari and Daudkandi and the lowest counts were made in Palashbari and Bagmara. This was the first reported examination of the microbial diversity of soil microflora in some selected potato fields of Bangladesh. Keywords: Microflora; diversity; fungi; bacteria. 1. INTRODUCTION Soils are very composite systems, with many components playing diverse functions mainly due to the activity of soil organisms [1]. Soil microflora plays a pivotal role in evaluation of soil conditions and in stimulating plant growth by biochemical transformation and mineralization activities in soils [2].However, type of cultivation and crop management practices are found to have greater influence on the activity of soil microflora [3]. Continuous use of chemical fertilizers over a long period may cause imbalance in soil microflora and thereby indirectly affect biological properties of soil leading to soil degradation [4].
