It can be operated by one or more persons and in some cases can provide wage employment.

Sahebganj Bagda Farm Bhumi Uddhar Sangram Committee in association with Jatiya Adivasi Parishad Parbatipur Upazila Committee, Adivasi Chatra Parishad Begum Rokeya University Unit and Kapaeeng Foundation jointly organized the memorandum-submission programme. In the memorandum signed by Philimon Baskey and Jafrul Islam Pradhan, President and General Secretary of Sahebganj Bagda Farm Bhumi Uddhar Sangram Committee respectively, Santals claimed that almost three years have already gone past by the violent attack against the Santal and the Bengali farmers at Sahebgonj Bagda-Farm, but Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) authority did not submit the investigation report yet which is direct violation of the order of the High Court Division of the Supreme Court. Besides, the investigation authority did not take the confession statement of victims and eye-witness under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure; the police member who set fire on the Santal’s houses were not arrested and brought under trial yet; the authority failed to arrest the corrupt Sugar Mill officials who were involved in leasing off the Mill’s land violating the terms and condition mentioned in land acquisition documents, etc.

    Agricultural Land Cover Change in Gazipur, Bangladesh, in Relation to Local Economy Studied Using Landsat Images

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Land classification is conducted in Gazipur district, located in the northern neighborhood of Dha- ka, the capital of Bangladesh. Images of bands 1 - 5 and 7 of Landsat 4 - 5 TM and Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery recorded in years 2001, 2005 and 2009 are classified using unsupervised classification with the technique of image segmentation. It is found that during the eight year period, paddy area increased from 30% to 37%, followed by the increase in the homestead (55% to 57%) and urban area (1% to 3%). These changes occurred at the expense of the decrease in forest land cover (14% to 3%). In the category of homestead, the presence of different kinds of vegetation often makes it difficult to separate the category from paddy field, though paddy exhibits accuracy of 93.70% - 99.95%, which is better than the values for other categories.

    Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 26(1): 117–126, 2019 (June) © 2019 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists ETHNOMEDICINAL USES OF PLANTS BY SANTAL TRIBAL PEOPLES AT NAWABGANJ UPAZILA OF DINAJPUR DISTRICT, BANGLADESH MOST. ROJUBA KHATUN AND A.H.M. MAHBUBUR RAHMAN* Plant Taxonomy Laboratory, Department of Botany, Faculty of Life and Earth Sciences, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi-6205, Bangladesh Keywords: Medicinal plants; Traditional knowledge; Nawabganj; Dinajpur; Bangladesh. Abstract Ethnobotanical investigation on traditional medicinal plants used by Santal tribal people of Nawabganj upazila of Dinajpur district, Bangladesh was documented. Frequent field trips were made during January to December 2018 to record ethnobotanical data by interviewing Santals of various age group, mostly ranging between 20-76 years, including the traditional healers. A total of 105 plant species under 97 genera belonging to 57 families were recorded which are used by the Santals for the treatment of 67 ailments. Out of these plant species 44% belonged to herbs, 28% trees, 18% shrubs, 10% climbers. In herbal formulations, leaves were found to be mostly used (29%) followed by roots (12%), fruits (12%), whole plant (10%), seeds (9%), barks (9%), stems (5%), flowers (4%), latex (2%), rhizomes (2%), petioles (2%), gums (2%), bulbs (1%), tubers (1%), pods (1%) and buds (1%). The Santal medicinal wealth have been presented with scientific name, family, Bangla name, Santal name, part(s) used, ailments to be treated and formulations. This study also provides data on diversity, distribution and habitats for conservation and prioritization of the medicinal plants. Introduction The use of plants and animals as source of medicine and food is as old as humanity.
  • Mining Capitalism and Contentious Politics in Bangladesh

    Mining Capitalism and Contentious Politics in Bangladesh

    MINING CAPITALISM AND CONTENTIOUS POLITICS IN BANGLADESH by Muhammad Omar Faruque A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Toronto © Copyright by Muhammad Omar Faruque 2019 MINING CAPITALISM AND CONTENTIOUS POLITICS IN BANGLADESH Muhammad Omar Faruque Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Toronto 2019 Abstract This dissertation analyses a social movement in Bangladesh fighting a potentially environmentally destructive resource extraction project as well as the country’s neoliberal energy policies. Grassroots community grievances against an open pit coalmine in Phulbari in the northwest region started small but culminated in a multi-scalar social movement, including anti-corporate mobilization against privatization of resource extraction at the national level. It also inspired a group of transnational advocacy groups to support the anti-mining movement. Drawing on critical development, social movement, and critical globalization scholarships, the dissertation analyses three distinct scales of the anti-coalmine social mobilizations: local, national, and transnational. Based on a set of qualitative interviews with local/national activists and transnational advocacy groups, I examine each of these scales through the lens of a specific theoretical approach. At the local level, drawing on scholarship on critical development studies, I consider the development of contentious political agency of grassroots communities to analyse the dynamics of the counter- movement against ‘accumulation by dispossession.’ At the national scale, I engage with critical globalization scholarship to analyse discourses of a radical social organization to challenge neoliberal development and its dominant narrative of capitalist modernity. I pay attention to the ii significance of its political rhetoric (nationalist imaginaries) to articulate a counter-hegemonic political agenda.

    Aryan and Non-Aryan Names in Vedic India. Data for the Linguistic Situation, C

    Michael Witzel, Harvard University Aryan and non-Aryan Names in Vedic India. Data for the linguistic situation, c. 1900-500 B.C.. § 1. Introduction To describe and interpret the linguistic situation in Northern India1 in the second and the early first millennium B.C. is a difficult undertaking. We cannot yet read and interpret the Indus script with any degree of certainty, and we do not even know the language(s) underlying these inscriptions. Consequently, we can use only data from * archaeology, which provides, by now, a host of data; however, they are often ambiguous as to the social and, by their very nature, as to the linguistic nature of their bearers; * testimony of the Vedic texts , which are restricted, for the most part, to just one of the several groups of people that inhabited Northern India. But it is precisely the linguistic facts which often provide the only independent measure to localize and date the texts; * the testimony of the languages that have been spoken in South Asia for the past four thousand years and have left traces in the older texts. Apart from Vedic Skt., such sources are scarce for the older periods, i.e. the 2 millennia B.C. However, scholarly attention is too much focused on the early Vedic texts and on archaeology. Early Buddhist sources from the end of the first millennium B.C., as well as early Jaina sources and the Epics (with still undetermined dates of their various strata) must be compared as well, though with caution. The amount of attention paid to Vedic Skt.
