Political activist, actor, playwright and poet, Safdar had been deeply committed, like so many young men and women of his generation, to the anti-imperialist, secular and egalitarian values that were woven into the rich fabric of the nation’s liberation struggle. Safdar moved closer to the Left, eventually joining the CPI(M), to pursue his goal of being part of a social order worthy of a free people. Tragically, it would be of the manner of his death at the hands of a politically patronised mafia that would single him out. The spontaneous, nationwide wave of revulsion, grief and resistance aroused by his brutal murder transformed him into a powerful symbol of the very values that had been sought to be crushed by his death. Such a death belongs to the revolutionary martyr. 6 PUBLICATIONS Safdar was thirty-four years old when he died.

    PAPER 28 THE HISTORY OF THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT FROM THE LATE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT DAY Convenors: Dr Shruti Kapila, [email protected] Dr Anjali B. Datta [email protected] Professor Samita Sen [email protected] The Hindu, Independence Day cover, 15 August 1947, Centre of South Asian Studies Archive 1 READING LIST: 2020-21 The History of The Indian Subcontinent from the Late Eighteenth Century to the Present Day Course description A fifth of the world's population lives in the Indian subcontinent. While today the region’s place in the global world order is widely recognised, this is in fact only the most recent chapter in a longer history. This paper offers an understanding of the part played by the Indian subcontinent and its people in the making of the modern world. From the decline of the great empire of the Mughals and the rise of British hegemony, to the rise of nationalism, the coming of independence and partition, the consolidation of new nation states despite regional wars and conflicts, and the emergence of India as the largest democracy in the world, this paper is a comprehensive and analytical survey of the subcontinent's modern history. The paper covers the dynamic and complex relationships between changing forms of political power and religious identities, economic transformations, and social and cultural change in the period from 1757 to 2007. Teaching There will be 30 lectures, 4 revision classes in the Easter Term. Supervisions will be centrally arranged by the convenors and students will be informed directly.

  • The Being of Bhasha: a General Introduction (Volume 1, Part 2) Chief Editor: G.N
    The Being of Bhasha: A General Introduction (Volume 1, Part 2) Chief Editor: G.N. Devy The first volume of the People’s Linguistic Survey of India brings to the reader the journey undertaken in 2010, by a group of visionaries led by G.N. Devy to document the languages of India as they existed then. The aim of the People’s Linguistic Survey of India was to document the languages spoken in India’s remotest corners. India’s towns and cities too have found a voice in this survey. The Being of Bhasha forms the introduction to the series. 2014 978-81-250-5488-7 152 pp ` 790 Rights: World 978-81-250-5775-8 (E-ISBN) The Languages of Jammu & Kashmir (Volume 12, Part 2) Volume Editor: Omkar N. Koul The twelfth volume of the People’s Linguistic Survey of India documents the languages of the State of Jammu & Kashmir. The book is divided into three parts—the first part covers the scheduled languages, Dogri and Kashmiri; the second part, the non-scheduled and minor languages; and the third part is devoted to Sanskrit, Persian, Hindi and Urdu which have played an important role in the state and also influenced local languages. Though Urdu is the official state language, of late there has been a shift in the linguistic profile in Jammu & Kashmir as there have been some linguistic movements towards inclusion of local languages in various domains. In the discussions about the languages, there is information about their contemporary status, their historical evolution and structural aspects. The linguistic map included in the volume also gives an idea of areas where the main languages are spoken.

  • Cbcs Syllabus
    BANKURA UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY CBCS SYLLABUS for M.A. in History (w.e.f. 2019) BANKURA UNIVERSITY BANKURA WEST BENGAL PIN 722155 1 Two- year MA in History (4 Semesters) Programme Objectives: The Department of History under the School of Social Sciences has designed its course keeping in mind the diverse patterns of the past, focussing on the various possible ways of engaging with them. The courses illuminate different methodological approaches as well as key variables in understanding the past. Focussing on various genres of history—political, economic, social, cultural, intellectual—the syllabus seeks to provide students with a holistic understanding of the previous eras. Special emphasis is given on various issues of ‘local’ or ‘regional’ history, keeping in mind the setting of the university and the background of the students who come here to study. The syllabus also puts emphasis on the way ‘history’ as a discipline has evolved over the years, how the practice of ‘writing’ history has changed and how historians have negotiated with various theoretical formulations that have informed neighbouring disciplines. The courses also provide the students with tools to interpret not only the past, but the contemporary socio-economic and political configurations as well. History, as has often been pointed out, is a constant dialogue between the past and the present. The post-graduate course offers to make the students aware of the tremendous complexities of past issues while at the same time helping them to understand and analyse the contemporary world. Programme Specific Objectives: The courses offered under the programme aim at training students in the discipline of history.
