In every village there there was at least one school almost everywhere at that time. Indigenous schools like To!', 'Chathushpathi' 'Guro AJahasqyer Pathsala: 'Moktab: 'Madrasa: Tmambara' etc. were the common institutions for general learning. In this regard Max Muller rightly said, 'Prior to the British occupation there were more than 80,000 native schools in Bengal or one for every 400 of the population'. 1 It is no less interesting that there was a trend when Hindu boys used to go to the Madras as and Maktabs to learn Persian and Arabic languages, some Muslim boys used to go to the the Tal or Guro Mahasayer Pathsala etc. to learn Sanskrit. This indigenous education system continued centuries after prior to the British rule. In the beginning, the East India Company Government did not show much interest in education of Bengal. It was Warren Hastings who being Governor General of Bengal made preliminary reforms in education system of Bengal. For the improvement of Arabic and Persian languages and Muslim law, he established Calcutta Madras a in 1781. Sir William Jones founded Asiatic Society in Calcutta in 1784 so as to extend research in English literature, History, Philosophy and Religion. In 1798 Lord Wellesley took the office of the Governor General of East India Company and established the Fort William College in 1800 just to train up the ciYilians in Indian languages, law, creed, custom and culture. A section of people of the then undivided Bengal became very much eager to learn English language. Their aim was to get Government services and also to get privilege in business and other professions. On the other hand the Company Government thought that to run the administration they needed some English knowing people. So the Government paid due attention to develop English education throughout the country. Some philanthropists like David Hare, Raja Ram Mohun Roy, Edward Hyde East, Baidyanath Mukharjee, Raja Radhakanta Dev realised the importance of English education in Bengal. \"'\lith their tireless efforts Hindu College was established in 1817.2 The establishment of Hindu College Qarer on Presidency College) may be considered as a landmark in the history of the 2 progress ofwestern education in Bengal. Soon it was followed by the establishment oflarge number of schools and colleges in and around Calcutta. The contributions and efforts of the Baptist Missionaries and a few enlightened native elite's in this regard are worthy of mention. The Baptist Missionaries founded an English medium school in 1818. Later on this school was converted into Srirampore College. In 1820 Bishop's College was established in Calcutta in honour of Bishop Middleton. It is worth mentioning that in 1823 the Committee of Public Instruction was set up to take over the whole management

    The Philosophy of Mystic Poet Hason Raja and a Folk Music Academy

    Hason Raja, the mystic poet & his philosophy An imaginary folk music academy at his birth place S U N A M G O N J , B A N G L A D E S H “What kind of hut I will build, While everything on barrenness.” Hason Raja (1854-1922) Hason Raja Folk Music Academy An imagery project based on the mystic poets’ philosophy in his birthplace Mallikpur Sunamgonj Name of author Ar. Sayed Ahmed 2005335019 June, 2012 Department of Architecture School of applied sciences Shahjalal University of Science & Technology Sylhet-3114, Bangladesh ABSTRACT Music is the most powerful formation of all arts. It is the ultimate destination for all other section of art, because all the arts meet to an end on music. Again the proletariat literature, the sub-alter literature and folklore music might have the most intimate relationship between the nature & human mind. The reason has its origin to reflection over human mind by the impact of nature. Water’s wave splashes to the shores creates some sound, breeze passing the branches of trees also left some sound, the rhyme of fountain, songs of birds, mysterious moonlit night, and so on. Actually music is the first artistic realization of human mind. Thus development of interaction through language is mostly indebted to music and the first music of human kind should be a folk one. That’s why the appeal of folk music is universal. From this context, my design consideration, the institute proposed for Hason Raja Sangeet (music) Academy is based on the rural-organic spatial order, use of indigenous building materials and musical education adapting the vastness of Haor (marshy) basin nature.

Huntington had called the “third wave of democracy”1 after a people’s movement toppled 15 years of military rule in December 1990. In the next 15 years, the country made gradual progress in fulfilling the criteria of a “minimalist democracy”2 – regular free and contested elections, peaceful transfer of governmental powers as a result of elections, fundamental freedoms, and civilian control over policy and institutions.

    Remembered Villages • 319 gender though one would suspect, from the style of writing, that with the exception of one, the essays were written by men. The authors recount their memories of their native villages—sixty-seven in all—of East Bengal belonging to some eighteen districts. Written in the aftermath of parti- tion, these essays capture the sense of tragedy that the division of the country represented to these authors. This attitude was more Hindu 16 than Muslim, for to many if not most of the Muslims of East Pakistan, 1947 was not only about partition, it was also about freedom, from both the British and the Hindu ruling classes.4 Remembered Villages My aim is to understand the structure of sentiments expressed in these essays. One should remember the context. There is no getting Representations of Hindu-Bengali Memories around the fact that partition was traumatic for those who had to leave in the Aftermath of the Partition their homes. Stories and incidents of sexual harassment and degradation of women, of forced eviction, of physical violence and humiliation marked their experience. The Hindu Bengali refugees who wrote these essays DIPESH CHAKRABARTY had to make a new life in the difficult circumstances of the overcrowded city of Calcutta. Much of the story of their attempts to settle down in the different suburbs of Calcutta is about squatting on government or privately owned land and about reactive violence by the police and landlords.5 emory is a complex phenomenon that reaches out to far beyond The sudden influx of thousands of people into a city where the services what normally constitutes an historian's archives, for memory were already stretched to their limits, could not have been a welcome is much more than what the mind can remember or what event.

    1. LETTER TO PARASRAM MEHROTRA [Before June 16, 1932]1 CHI. PARASRAM, Judging from your letter the children seem to have made good progress. You speed with the takli is also good. Do give half an hour daily to it; if you can in what time spin 160 rounds, nothing can be better than that. What does kule ki haddi2 mean? The word Kula is not to be found in the Hindi Dictionary. Why did the haddi get swollen? Has the swelling subsided now? If it has not, you must take immediate steps to cure it. The replies to the questions which you have put to Mahadev are: 1. I consider a minimum of half an hour’s walk morning and evening essential for you and others. It is not necessary to sit in one position for more than an hour. One should stand up for a minute at least, or change the posture. 2. It is natural that a mother should desire to see her son, but every mother ought to restrain such a with and, if the son is engaged in some activity of service, he must cure his mother of such attachment. 3. When a son goes abroad and lives in a foreign country for ten years, his mother has no choice but to bear the separation. There are innumerable poor mothers in India who possibly never again see the face of their son after he has gone out to earn a living. One may console the mother through a letter, and cheer her as much as one can by reasoning with her and citing other similar instances.

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.
