  • Sensitive Space Along the India-Bangladesh Border
    THE FRAGMENTS AND THEIR NATION(S): SENSITIVE SPACE ALONG THE INDIA-BANGLADESH BORDER A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Jason Cons January 2011 © 2011 Jason Cons THE FRAGMENTS AND THEIR NATION(S): SENSITIVE SPACE ALONG THE INDIA-BANGLADESH BORDER Jason Cons, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 Borders are often described as “sensitive” areas—exceptional and dangerous spaces at once central to national imaginaries and at the limits of state control. Yet what does sensitivity mean for those who live in, and those who are in charge of regulating, such spaces? Why do these areas persist as spaces of conflict and confusion? This dissertation explores these questions in relation to a series of enclaves—sovereign pieces of India inside of Bangladesh and vice versa—clustered along the Northern India–Bangladesh border. In it, I develop the notion of “sensitivity” as an analytic for understanding spaces like the enclaves, showing how they are zones within which postcolonial fears about sovereignty, security, identity, and national survival become mapped onto territory. I outline the politics of sensitivity and the production of sensitive space through both historical and ethnographic research. First, I explore the ways that ambiguity and vague fears about security and citizenship emerge as forms of moral regulation within and in relation to the enclaves. Specifically, I interrogate the processes through which information about the enclaves is regulated and policed and the ambiguity, suspicion, and insecurity that emerge out of such practices.

  • Chapter-7 Political Changes I
    481 Chapter-7 Political Changes The changing pattern of demography of North Bengal also led to the changing nature of political development of this region. With the coming of the British neo politico-administrative structure the led to an end in pre-colonial periodic political stature of this region and Cooh Biahr –Baikunthpur-Bhutan political complications on the one hand on the other the permanently settled area of Southern North Bngal began to develop in their own ways. However, in this apolitical development of this region the large volume of demographic constriction happened and with this new political ideas also infiltrated. Thus the peoples’ reaction and responses in national political development came to notice. The different trends of movements differently influenced the different communities. Thus the Congress, Nationalist, Communist, politics of the Planters’ association tried to mobilize the people from their own ideology. With this the partition came down upon and the continuous process of in-migration led to the changes in political orientation of the migrants and he people of this region. Here in this chapter I shall examine the political orientation, participation, mobilization and move of the people of this region from colonial period to post-colonial period to post-Bangladesh liberation period. I The district of Malda was influenced by the wave of national movement and that was led by the people originally from other parts of Bengal or India. However, the Hindus and Muslims both moved unified against the British rule. This trend was found in the spread of Wahabi movement in Malda under the leadership of Rafique Mandol and his son Moluvi Amiruddin.

  • Sehnsucht?​ Survival and Resilience in the Indo­Bangladesh Enclaves
    Sehnsucht?​ Survival and Resilience in the Indo­Bangladesh Enclaves Atig Ghosh Men are conditioned beings because everything they come in contact with turns immediately into a condition of their existence. The world in which the v​ita activa spends itself consists of things produced by human activities; but the things that owe their existence exclusively to men nevertheless constantly condition their human makers. In addition to the conditions under which life is given to man on earth, and partly out of them, men constantly create their own, self­made conditions, which, their human origins notwithstanding, possess the same conditioning power as natural things. Whatever touches or enters into a sustained relationship with human life immediately assumes the character of a condition of human existence. This is why men, no matter what they do, are always conditioned beings. Whatever enters the human world of its own accord or is drawn into it by human effort becomes part of the human condition. —Hannah Arendt1 An introductory anecdote Who remembers Mayamana Khatun of Poaturkuthi in Cooch Behar? Not many; not many even in North Bengal, perhaps, where the district of Cooch Behar is situated [ 4.1]. To refresh memory, Khatun, a 29­year­old mother of two, had filed her nomination papers from the Dinhata assembly constituency of Cooch Behar in 2011. She was contesting as a candidate of the Indian People’s Forward Bloc (IPFB), or the Janabadi Forward Bloc in Bengali, which had emerged through a split in the All­India Forward Bloc (AIFB). Heavy­weight leaders of the AIFB had gone over to the new party.

  • Summary and Conclusions Chapter- 6
    CHAPTER- 6 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS CHAPTER- 6 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS In India basic reform in Panchayati Raj Institutions through the 73rct constitutional amendment took place at the same time when economic reforms were undertaken as a matter of policy. After two decades, economic reforms are being continued steadily while there have not been much enthusiasm in strenthening Panchayati Raj Institutions. Although the part IX of the Constitution directs to "endow the panchayat with such power and authority as may be necessary to enable then1 to .function as institution of self government" (Article243G) almost all the States have failed to devolve three Fs: Functions, Functionaries and Finances. This disturbing development co-exists with an absence of panchayat level planning, particularly involving women the planning process. We presented the structure of different standing committees of PRis West Bengal under section 15 of Chapter 2. As it was clear there was no important women in the planning process. SHG Federation models like economic reforms represent a parallel development where involvement of women is much more prominent. As we observed under Chapter 3, from the time first SHGs emerged in 1985 to the inclusion of the SHG strategy annual plan for 2000-01 (Government of India, 2000), several important steps were taken by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and leading NGOs as well as by multilateral agencies, particularly IFAD. In our country the pioneer in this field is Self-Employed Women's Association (SEWA). Without the Grameen model SEWA was started in 1972. In Southern India organizations like PRADAN, MYRADA, ASSEEFA, MALAR etc.

  • Socio-Political Movements in North Bengal (A Sub-Himalayan Tract) Edited by Publish by Global Vision Publishing House Sukhbilas Barma
    Socio-Political Movements in North Bengal (A Sub-Himalayan Tract) Edited by Publish by Global Vision Publishing House Sukhbilas Barma Uttar Banga Tapasili Jati O Adibashi Sangathan (UTJAS): A Dalit Student Movement Naren Das Pre-independence North Bengal was mainly farmers’ society in which there was no scope of employment in any sector except in agriculture and a few govt. establishments, tea gardens, business and rail and road transport systems. People were solely dependent on the land and land related works/ professions. The farmers’ economic condition was however, not too bad during the last part of regime of the Bengal Tenancy Act and the Cooch Behar Tenancy Act. But as soon as the government introduced unscientific ceiling system with frequent privileged amendments in Land Ceiling Act and related Acts, the farmers were forced to leave their cultivable land as a result of which the farmers, especially the indigenous farmers began to live like endangered species. In the year 1947 after creation of India and Pakistan, the turmoil in connection with the exchange of people on the basis of religion gave birth to a new community known as refugee. Thousands of East Pakistan refugees came to this area and hundreds of indigenous people especially, the Muslims were bound to leave this area. Naren Das: An advocate practising law in Jalpaiguri Court. He is associated with various social organizations of the Rajbanshis in North Bengal. 138 Socio-Political Movements in North Bengal Unprecedented Population Pressure Practically the indigenous people had so long no feeling about the difference of religion/caste etc. They used to lead a peaceful life among the communities with the rarest example of communal harmony.

  • CHAPTER VI Women in Partition Literature, Films and Memoirs
    212 CHAPTER VI Women in Partition literature, films and memoirs The partition of India is one of the most debatable questions in the South Asian history. This tumultuous event has shaped the lives of millions of people in many ways. Popular sentiment and perception regarding partition has been reflected in different arenas of literature, though some has registered the issue of partition with anguish or annoyance and profound unhappiness. There are few texts that have depicted the various psychological, political, economic and social effects of partition. Partition and its accompanying violence have inspired many creative minds to generate a literary depiction of such a tragic incident. The historic event of partition of India‘s subcontinent has enriched Bengali and other literatures to their highest peaks. It has dealt mainly with two factors: firstly, they have been based on the tales of tremendous grief and distress of the uprooted people and secondly they have been represented as the stories of determination and never ending fight of the refugees for their survival on the foreign land against all odds and riddles. A good number of rootless persons have also rendered valuable contributions for the enrichment of Bengali so far as other Indian literatures are concerned. Truly speaking, Partition of India has been such a revolutionary event that spontaneously produced numerous masterpieces. While some creations have depicted the massacre during the refugee migration, others have concentrated more on the aftermath of the partition in terms of the troubles faced by the refugees in both sides of the borders. Even now, more than seventy years after the partition, works on fiction as well as films are being made on that frenzied event of partition.
