It Has Been Said That the Eighteenth Century Was Siecle Da La Lumlere1 Dr the Century of Enlightenment in the History of Europe I I M f R O p ; q ;c t I Q N It has been said that the eighteenth century was Siecle da la lumlere1 dr the century of Enlightenment in the history of Europe. The medieval mind which was governed by superstition had a release from. these enlightened influences. During this century Europe witnBssed a far-reaching change in the political, socio-economic and cultural life of its people. People started to cherish individual liberty and equal rights. This enlightened movement of thought was specially revealed by a class of rationalist Philosophers and thinkers like Montesquieu (1689-1755), Voltaire (1694-1778), Rousseau (1712-.778), Denis Diderot and his friend D'Alembert. They exposed in I heir writings the defects of the existing institutions and protested against cruel and irrational customs of the society.. This thought process not only influenced the .European middle class intellectuals, Indian Socio-1 cultural and religious thoughts also underwent a transformation as; well, as a result Of this western contact, it gave birth to. irresistible forces of socle-cultural and religious ’ reforms in the first half of the nineteenth century. Western thought found its first 2 explosion in Bengal and a leading feature of this wa^e of thought was its active concern for the regeneration of the society and the emancipation of women. Women's issues (Sati, widow remarriage, KulirTsm, Furdah, ■ education etc.) formed a central point of the nineteenth century reform movement in Bengal, led by Rammohan, Vidyasagar, II Keshabchandra Sen, AkShOy kumar Dutta, The Tagores and other Brahmo reformers. Bengali reformers held- the nation first propagated widely that "Hindu social reform in Bengal must start with the emancipation of women. Because women played such a crucial role in shaping the character and thought of children, it 3 was essential that they be educated properly. Denizens of colonial Bengal face to face with a different cultural and intellectual order and divisted of crucial elements of their public selves, turned their gaze inward to the private sphere (the home and the family, the. space inhabited by women, children and servants). When a similar process set in among the Muslims it is not surprising that, once again, the 'Women Question' became a central issue which 4 generated discourses, posed problematics and spawned solutions. But it is becoming more apparent as research on the matter progresses that though the movement for emancipation of women in general and Muslim women in particular in Bengal did not grow out of opposition to men yet in many instances the women themselves were active agents in the process of social change. Looking back one finds that the early decades of the twentieth century witnessed a gradual process of social transformation that may Ve termed the 5 Muslim women's awakening. Many of the early generation of Muslim women in Bengal responded to modernization and took up the pen. Among them Shahifa Banoo (1850-1926), Faijunnessa (1852-1903), Karimunhessa (1855-1926), Khairunnessa (1880-1912), Begum Rokeya (1880-1932), Nuruhnessa Rhatun Bidyabinodini (1892-1975), Begum Sara IMfur (1893- ? ), Mumlukul Fatema Khananr. (1894-1957), Ill sham&unnahar Mahmud (1909-64), Ajljunnessa Khatun, Taherurmessa, Sajeda Khatun, Mrs. M-. Rahman, Kaseoia Khatun, Mre.Suhrawardia g Begum, Syeda Motahara Banco's names deserve to be mentioned. Many of them were self taught, or tutored at home, few had had access to formal schooling and some of them sincerely tried for the expansion of women education also within a certain limit, though much of their public lives were conducted behind the curtain. They remained beyond the religious bigotry, traditionalism, parochialism, obscurantism prevalent at that time. But it is a miatter of great regret that their identity has never been established in a broader social perspective. Neither the western scholars nor the oriental researchers have focussed their eyes on the key rolas played by them in the process of social regeneration. Researchers like Borthwick and Murshed refer the fact that they have dealt with the Brahmo/Hindu Bhadromohila only, leaving 7 the Muslim bhadromohila (gentlelady) to future research. Therefore, as a woman and as a member of the Muslim community of Bengal the present researcher is interested to enquire into the roles played by Musliin Bhadromohilas in the process of expansion of education during the 2nd half of the nineteenth century to the first quarter of the twentieth century. But it is hot possible and feasible for a single researcher to study the roles and contributions of all the ohadromohilas (though their number is significantly negligible) in the process of social transformation. So it requires to limit the area of the IV study. However, it is intended to findout one of the above Muslim bhadramohilas who played a significant role in the field of female education. At the same time the present researcher remembers that Raja Rammohan Roy (.1772-1833) and Vidyasagar (1020-1891), the celebrated social reformers and stem fighters against social evils and the emancipators Of women had emerged out of Hindu society, but whatever might be the reason, their abiding appeal did not reach the women of the Muslim community. Naturally, an effort has been made to seek the answer to the question whether any woman educationist. from the Muslim community had emerged as an emancipator of women who could mould the cultural thought of the Moribund Muslim society of Bengal in the last decade of the nineteenth century or in the first quarter of the twentieth century. Therefore, after a careful review of literature, it has been decided to select Begum Rokeya (1880-1932) as subject because of her uniqueness and distinctive personality whose works and activities mostly centred around Calcutta and who launched formal education for Muslim girls as a campaign in the movement of women's emancipation. But what is so special about Begum Rokeya ? It is because she was a pace setter in the .social thinking for Muslim girls ? or, because she was the first Muslim woman of her time to present a blue print for education for Muslim women ? What is her relevance to-day ? How would she herself have reviewed her o//n educational achievements in the light of the, present day problems ? Is she a V forgotten narte fo-day ? The present thesis endeavours to answer these pertinent questions along with other cc-reiated queries in the broader context of Begum Rokeya, denoted twentieth century pioneer of Bengal in the field of women education. The researcher's mode, Therefore, is the qualitative analysis of information as regards the educational idea and practice of this social liberator. The study is confined to the major activities and works of Rokeya related to her educational idea and practice only. There has been some works of a general nature on Begum 8 Rokeya. Such as 'Rokeya Jibani' (the biography of Rokeya) by 9 Shamsunnahar Mahmud; 'Pa trey Rokeya Parichiti' (Rokeya introduced through letters) by Moshfeda Mahmud; 1 Begum Rokeya: the Emancipator, 0 by Hasina Joardar and Safiuddin Joardar; 'Begum Rokeya: her time and w orks' ^ by Morshed Shafiul Hasan; ,12 ^ . 'Chhbtoder Rokeya ' by Bande All Mia; 'Begum Rokeya: 13 Jiban 0 Shahitya' (biography and literary works) by Mofahar 14 Hossain Sufi; 'Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain : Jiban 0 Shahitya Karma' (Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain : her biography and literary works) by Dr. Shamsiil Alaiii; 'Begum Roquiah Sakhawat Hossain : Her thoughts 15 16 and social work' by Tahmina Alam; 'Begum Rokeya by Shahid 17 Akhand; 'Begum Roquiah' by Syed Kaniz Shugia Sabzawari; 18 19 'Rokeya' by Sutapa Bhattacharya; 'Yugjanani Rokeya' by Mirat-UN-Nahar; 'Begum Rokeya* 20 by Abdul Mannan Syed. The articles and tributes consulted are immense. Some of 21 these are 'Anirban Agnishikha Tin!' (She is everburning flame) VI by Jyotirmoy Ghosh; 'She was the forerunner of our modem 22 23 sensibility' by Abdul Marinan Syed; 'Payrabander Mukto Parya' by Maleka Begum; 'the soul and conscience of Bengalee Muslim • v 24 ■ • 2§ ‘ Society' by Mohitlal Mazumder; 'Alor Fasal Tumi' (you are the fruit of the light) by Begum Lutfunnessa Abbas 'Begum Rokeyar 26 Jagriti-Sadhana' (the meditation of awakening of Eiagu'm Rokeya) by Morshed Shafiul Hasan; 'Nari Jagoraner Agrudootee Begum 27 Rokeya' (Begum Rokeya : the pioneer of women's progress) by 28 Sufi Motahar Hossain; 'Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain' by Late Gouri Ayub. The poets also are not lagging behind in their tributes to Begum. Sahadat Hussain and Gulum Mustafa, the renowned poets of Bangladesh offered their homage to her in their poems captioned 29 30 'Daradi Amma' (the benign Mother) and 'DushshahaBhlka' (the Daring She). There are also many articles and tributes on Rokeya offered by Kaji Abdul Odud, Sufia Kamal, Md.Nasiruodin, M.Nasir All, Nilima Ibrahim, GulQm Murshid Suraiya Begum, Laila Jaman, Hasna Begum and a host of others containing penetrating observations on her biography and literary works. But the above studies and observations have stressed more on her biography and literary works and failed to highlight the distinctive features of her thinking, approach, attitude, idea and philosophy in the broader context of education only which is the purview of the present thesis. VII So this thesis purports to bo an enquiry into her educational idea and practice of Begum Rokeya, the great pathfinder o? education of the women of Bengal in.general and Muslim girls in particular. This thesis comprises six chapters. The first chapter describes a synoptic history of the condition of education of Muslim females in Bengal from the second half of the nineteenth century to the first score of the twentieth century for the convenience of evaluation of Begum Rokeya in relation to her age. The chapter only pinpoints the relevant data and very few examples just to conceptualise the age of Begum Rokeya where she lived.

  • Roquiah Sakhawat Hossein1 to Taslima Nasrin
    ASIATIC, VOLUME 10, NUMBER 1, JUNE 2016 From Islamic Feminism to Radical Feminism: Roquiah Sakhawat Hossein1 to Taslima Nasrin Niaz Zaman2 Independent University, Bangladesh Abstract This paper examines four women writers who have contributed through their writings and actions to the awakening of women in Bangladesh: Roquiah Sakhawat Hossein, Sufia Kamal, Jahanara Imam and Taslima Nasrin. The first three succeeded in making a space for themselves in the Bangladesh tradition and carved a special niche in Bangladesh. All three of them were writers in different genres – poetry, prose, fiction – with the last best known for her diary about 1971. While these iconic figures contributed towards women’s empowerment or people’s rights in general, Taslima Nasrin is the most radically feminist of the group. However, while her voice largely echoes in the voices of young Bangladeshi women today – often unacknowledged – she has been shunned by her own country. The paper attempts to explain why, while other women writers have also said what Taslima Nasrin has, she alone is ostracised. Keywords Islamic feminism, radical feminism, gynocritics, purdah, 1971, Shahbagh protests In this paper, I wish to examine four women writers who have contributed through their writings and actions to the awakening of women in Bangladesh. Beginning with Roquiah Sakhawat Hossein (1880-1932), I will also discuss the roles played by Sufia Kamal (1911-99), Jahanara Imam (1929-94) and Taslima Nasrin (1962-). The first three succeeded in making a space for themselves in the Bangladesh tradition and carved a special niche in Bangladesh. All three of them were writers: Roquiah wrote poems, short stories, a novel, as well as prose pieces; Sufia Kamal was primarily a poet but also wrote a number of short 1 There is some confusion over the spelling of her name.

  • Almost Memories / Almost True Stories
    Home (‘Griha’) Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain Translated and introduced by Mohammad A. Quayum Introduction This essay was first published in a Bengali magazine, Nabanur, in October 1904 (Bengali calendar: Ashwin 1311). It was republished in Antapur in January 1905, and included in Rokeya’s first collection of essays, Motichur (Sweet Globules), Vol. I, in 1907. The essay expresses the same sentiment as in Rokeya’s earlier essays, such as ‘Istrijatir Abanati’ (Woman’s Downfall)1 and ‘Ardhangi’ (The Female-half). In these previous essays she fiercely criticises the Indian patriarchal system for depriving women of all their rights and opportunities in society, and for wilfully subjugating them to a law of male primacy. In this essay, she carries the argument further to suggest that women’s subjugation has also rendered them homeless. Home is a place, Rokeya argues, where one finds rest, happiness and peace. But because Indian women have to constantly depend on the mercy and vagary of men, and have to spend their life in humouring their ‘masters’ and ‘keepers’ rather than in finding their own happiness, they can never be truly at home. To them, home is a like a ‘prison’. ‘For those who live in subjugation and do not have the right to consider the house of their “keeper” as their own residence, home is like a prison. For one who is not happy in family life, and dares not to consider herself a member of the family, home cannot be a place of peace,’ Rokeya proffers in a blistering argument. This despicable condition of subjection and servility applies to most Indian women notwithstanding their age, religion or class.

Mumit Al Rashid1© Assistant Professor, Department of Persian Language & Literature, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Tanjina Binte Nur2 M.A., Department of Persian Language & Literature, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. (Received: 02 October 2017; Accepted: 18 November 2017) Kazi Nazrul Islam, the national poet of Bangladesh, popularly known as Nazrul-the rebel poet, is undoubtedly one who may rightly be called as one of the greatest “poets of people” of the world. He was the first poet in Bengali literature that used extensive Arabic and Persian words to express his views and to create a Muslim renaissance within the whole Bengali nation. He was a multi-lingual poet. That’s why we see huge Arabic, Persian, Hindi, Sanskrit and Urdu words, even sentences in almost everywhere of his literature. This article is about the Persian words that Nazrul had used in his poetry. Though the majority of his poems consists of more or less Persian words, in this article, we discussed five of his poems named Shat-il- Arab, Moharram, Kamal Pasha, Qorbani and the 12th Fateha that has most Persian words comparatively. Keywords: Kazi Nazrul Islam, Persian Words, Shat-il-Arab, Moharram, Kamal Pasha, Korbani and the 12th Fateha. ___________________________________ ________________________________ 1 E-mail: [email protected] ©(Corresponding author) 2 Email: [email protected] 117 ﻣﻤﯿﺖ اﻟﺮﺷﯿﺪ و ﺑﻨﺖ ﻧﻮر M.
