  • Written'', in the Shahbazgarhi Text of A£Olca's Rock-Edicts (Above, 1913, P
    VARENDRA 97 I avail myself of this opportunity for a correction of my remarks on the participle nipista, " written'', in the Shahbazgarhi text of A£olca's rock-edicts (above, 1913, p. 654). It must not be derived from the Sanskrit nish- pishta, " ground ", but rather from nipishta, " written ", whicli occurs repeatedly in the inscriptions of the Achse- menidan kings of Persia; see Professor Tolman's Ancient Persian Lexicon, New York, 1908, p. 111. The word is still living in the modern Persian {J^>y, " to write". As the Shahbazgarhi version is the only one in which the Indian likhita, " written ", is replaced by nipista, would it be too hazardous to assume that the latter is a foreign word which was imported from Iran along with the KharoshthI alphabet ? And may pustaka, " a book ",— a word for which no satisfactory etymology is found in Sanskrit—be connected with it ? E. HULTZSCH. VARENDRA The Varendra Anusandhana Samiti (Research Society) was started in the year 1910, in the district of Rajshahi in Northern Bengal, chiefly through the exertions of Kumar Sarat Kumar Roy, M.A., of Dighapatiya in that district, with the object of carrying on antiquarian research in the tract of country called in Sanskrit literature Varendra, and in modern colloquial language " the Barind ". This is a tract of comparatively high land, which includes portions of the Malda, Rajshahi, Dinajpur, Rangpur, and Bogra Districts in the Rajshahi Division, with a stiff soil of reddish clayey loam, distinguishing it from the remainder of those districts, the soil of which is sandy alluvium of recent formation.

  • Introduction Introduction
    ~ I I INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Historical (short history) backgrounda Origin and present shape of Tripura State Tripura is among the most ancient States of India. The name of Tripura has a halo of mystery arcund it. Different perscns and scholars expressed {rarious opinions at various times regarding geonomy of Tripura. The original name of Tripura cannot be con- elusively traced back to any recorded source of history. Common belief is tl)at the name Tripura has originated from the goddess "Tripura Sundar!". But this is not correct, because the country had been known as Tripura even before the installation of the'· deity which took place at the time of Maharaja 11 Dhan'1arnaniJ<ya" in the first half of the sixteenth century. Others treat Tripilra as a • derivative from "Tripuram" nieaning end of three cities. There is also a popular belief that a mythical king called • Trip'Ur' named· his Kingdan Tripuras • after his own name. Analysing the name etymologically, some researchers have found it to be a co~ination from two tribal (Tripuri) words •twi' and •pra• which mean a 11 L·and adjoining water" so, it is very much difficult to ascertain the real reason behind the state • s name. The ruling time of Tripura Raja can be divided into three periodsa (1) Ancient period (2) Medifval period (3) Modern period. About 184 Kings ruled in Tripura upto 1947. Past history and old map of ·Tripura (Map Nos. 1, 2, 3) shows that present shape of the state has changed much from the ancient period. The present shape is derived from several ruling periods.

D.) of Tripura was the pioneer in the Tripura dynasty to commit to writing by competent hands the oral tradition of the history of the Tripura state, which is situated in between Assam and Bengal *. He entrusted the task to Durlabhendra Cantai, the High priest, and the Court-poets, Banesvar Deva Sarman ** and Sukresvar Deva Sarman, who composed the first volume. Subsequently, some other kings continued to patronize the task, so that the book has run into several volumes of various dates (15th-19th century) and assumed an encycl opaedic proportion. The name of this famous work is Sri Rajmala, according to K. P. Sen, though “Sri” does not occur in any colophon.

    69 1. Position of the Congress Party·- Its Dominant Role in the Sta'te Politics : - ( 1947-66). e.-~a,. "The Post- indep::md.ance ~ @nvisaged a change in the compleXion and style of wo~king of t.he t;ongress Party in l3·3n~~·al~ The expulsion of the comnunists. the withdrawal of the follow;ers of S1Jbhas Bose from the membership of the ~ongress Party together with the partitio·n of 'the party in 1947, resulted in a change in· the composition of pa:cty membership.

  • Muslim Mystics and Sufi Silsilahs in the India
    MUSLIM MYSTICS AND SUFI SILSILAHS IN THE INDIA. By Dr.Amit Dey. When I am writing this article during the beginning of the new year, 2015, the world and the Indian subcontinent are going through certain uneasy experiences ranging from the violent reaction in the aftermath of the publication of cartoons in some western newspapers allegedly hurting the sentiment of millions of Muslims all over the world, when quite a few innocent school children perished in a brutal attack in Peshawar, when the Indian state of West Bengal is trying to recover from the infamous Khagragarh (in Burdwan district) explosion, when certain south asian regions are being exposed for the alarming imbalance in sex ratio confirming the prevalence of female foeticide even during the second decade of the twenty first century, the stereotyping of Islam as an intolerant, homogeneous and violent religion gathered momentum in the oriental and occidental worlds.1 In the context of these developments at the regional and trans-regional levels, the study of Islamic mysticism is becoming more and more relevant particularly due to the tolerant, spiritual and humane outlook of the Muslim mystics and the appropriating and accommodating nature of various sufi orders which created ripples in the socio-spiritual world of the subcontinent. Ironically, the sufis are virtually eliminated from the world of their origin, i.e., Central Asia and the Middle East.
