  • Revisit to Dhaka University As the Symbol of Bengal Partition Sowmit Chandra Chanda Dr
    Academic Ramification in Colonial India: Revisit to Dhaka University as the Symbol of Bengal Partition Sowmit Chandra Chanda Dr. Neerja A. Gupta PhD Research Scholar under Dr. Neerja A. Director & Coordinator, Department of Gupta, Department of Diaspora and Diaspora and Migration Studies, SAP, Migration Studies, SAP, Gujarat Gujarat University, Ahmedabad, India. University, Ahmedabad, India. Abstract: It has been almost hundred years since University of Dhaka was established back in 1921. It was the 13th University built in India under the Colonial rule. It was that like of dream comes true object for those people who lived in the eastern part of Indian Sub-continent under Bengal presidency in the British period. But when the Bengal partition came into act in 1905, people from the new province of East Bengal and Assam were expecting a faster move from the government to establish a university in their capital city. But, with in 6 years, the partition was annulled. The people from the eastern part was very much disappointed for that, but they never left that demand to have a university in Dhaka. After some several reports and commissions the university was formed at last. But, in 1923, in the first convocation of the university, the chancellor Lord Lytton said this university was given to East Bengal as a ‘splendid Imperial compensation’. Which turns our attention to write this paper. If the statement of Lytton was true and honest, then certainly Dhaka University stands as the foremost symbol of both the Bengal Partition in the academic ramification. Key Words: Partition, Bengal Partition, Colony, Colonial Power, Curzon, University, Dhaka University etc.

  • 1. Introduction
    Notes 1. Introduction 1. ‘Diaras and Chars often first appear as thin slivers of sand. On this is deposited layers of silt till a low bank is consolidated. Tamarisk bushes, a spiny grass, establish a foot-hold and accretions as soon as the river recedes in winter; the river flows being considerably seasonal. For several years the Diara and Char may be cultivable only in winter, till with a fresh flood either the level is raised above the normal flood level or the accretion is diluvated completely’ (Haroun er Rashid, Geography of Bangladesh (Dhaka, 1991), p. 18). 2.

  • Wolfgang-Peter Zingel Bangladesh's Economic Revival: from Sheikh
    Wolfgang-Peter Zingel Associate Member of South Asia Institute of Heidelberg University Bangladesh’s economic revival: From Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s demand for regional autonomy to war and famine, the challenge of development and the country’s rise to become a leading exporter of manpower and textiles Talk prepared for the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Conference in Frankfurt, 7 October 2017 (presented in German language) Dear Friends, Today we are commemorating Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the leader of the Independence Movement, the Father of the Nation, the President and Prime Minister, the Bangabandhu, the Friend of Bengal. I have been asked to say a few words on the Bangabandhu’s economic programme. I shall try to do that, being an economist and having worked on the country’s economic and social development since that fateful year of 1971. Understanding a country’s economic development needs a look also at history and culture. I therefore shall begin with the grim colonial past and the unhappy Pakistan times.
