  • The Bengalis: a Thousand Years
    Bengalis Thousand Years 8670/ 021116 The BengAlis: A ThousAnd YeArs Jawhar Sircar The last few days of a century that also happen to be at the end of a whole millennium, are bound to stir a strange excitement in even the most placid person. The two most expected feelings that hold their sway can perhaps be summarized as: introspection and expectation — drawing a balance sheet of the past as also trying to gauge what the future holds. Such an exercise can cover not only a single person or his immediate concerns; it may as well cover his locality, his state or nation and may be stretched to entire humanity. The constraints of my acquaintance and knowledge hardly qualify me to scan any group higher or bigger than my own people: the Bengalis. Even in this, my limitations now plague me more than my enthusiasm to try out such a review — but these notwithstanding; the sheer thrill of initiating an animated adda on the subject overpowers me. At the beginning, let me make it clear that I do not have the audacity to try to cover a thousand years in just a few pages: hence I will concentrate only on certain significant periods or issues, for the sake of presenting a viewpoint. So let us begin: are the Bengalis a thousand years old? Or even more? Historians tell us about our history during the Pala- Sena period, which would give us about 1250 years to be proud of, but if we include the great Sasanka, we could be share-holders in a great concern that goes back fourteen centuries.

    Arvind Basak, IJSRR 2019, 8(2), 1919-1925 Research article Available online www.ijsrr.org ISSN: 2279–0543 International Journal of Scientific Research and Reviews An Account of the Process of Urbanization and Urban Development in North Bengal before Independence Arindam Basak Assistant Professor Department of Geography and Applied Geography University of North Bengal P.O –NBU, Dist – Darjeeling, Pin -734013 Email: [email protected],Ph: 9836549171. ABSTRACT: North Bengal comprise at present the eight districts of West Bengal viz. Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar, Koch Bihar, Uttar Dinajpur, Dakshin Dinajpur and Maldah respectively. The urbanization process witnessed in North Bengal has been very scattered and a discontinuous one before independence. This resulted in a very low level of urbanization this region recorded at the time of independence and this legacy continued upto 2011. In this paper an attempt has been made to understand the political ups and downs this region experienced before independence and how this process affected the growth and flourishing of urban centres during those periods.
