    Chapter-vi : Socio-economic Profile of the Study Area 189---198 Physical feature and socio-historical background Demography Literacy Administrative Unit Transport Communications Socio-economic Profile ofthe Study Area 189 For a proper understanding of the problem, it is essential to briefly refer to an ecological profile of Kushtia district as the values and characteristics of the masses very much depend upon, and are influenced by geographical, economic, social and political background of the area. Physical feature and socio-historical background Kushtia is not an ancient township but one of the eighteen oldest districts in independent Bangladesh. There is no much evidence to know the ancient history of Kushtia. The only tool to be informed about the district what was portrayed through description by different persons based on different regimes in the region governed. Hamilton's Gazetteer has mentioned of Kushtia town and of the fact that the local people called the town Kushtay (Kushte). In Tolemy's map, several little islands have been portrayed under the Ganges basin. These islands are considered as ancient Kushtia. 1 The district was under Natore Zemindar in 1725. Then it was under Rajshahi civil administration of Kanadarnagar Pargana. 2 Later East India Company transferred Kushtia under Jessore district in 1776. It was brought under Pabna district in 1828. Then Mahkuma Administration was established under Kushtia in 1861 and then brought under Nadia district.3 During the British rule, railway connection with Kolkata, capital of British India, established in 1860, made the town an alluring location for mills and factories, including the Jagneshwar Engineering Works (1896), Renwick and Company ( 1904 ), and the Mohini Mills (1919).

  • 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.

Bangladesh government is planning to implement the 65,000 kilometer road project through Asian highway route. Bangladesh would be linked to 15 countries with the proposed road network. The Asian Highway plan was first launched in 1959 under UN Economic, and Social Commission for South Asia, and Pacific (ESCAP). Its main purpose is to increase regional and international cooperation between Asia, and Europe via Turkey and to set transportation, infrastructural progress for socio-economic development of many countries in the region. In order to realize Bangladesh’s potential and expedite further growth, Japan has come up with the concept of the Bay of Bengal industrial growth belt” or what Prime Minister Shinzu Abe termed “The BIG-B”. On the other hand, Chinese President Xi Jinping narrate Bangladesh as an emerging country along the “Maritime Silk Road” (MSR) project that he has been championing, which envisages deepening connectivity, constructing ports, free trade sectors, and boosting trade with littoral countries in the Indian Ocean zone, and in East Asia.

  • Askari Rashid, Nineteen Seventy One: Short Stories

New Delhi: Rubric, 2019, 144 pp., $50/`500 (hardcover). ISBN: 9788193998427. During the 7th International Consortium for Social Development Asia Pacific biennial conference on ‘Social Unrest, Peace and Social Development’, hosted by the Islamic University, Bangladesh, 14–15 September 2019, I had a rare opportunity to meet with Professor Rashid Askari, Vice Chancellor of the Islamic University, who kindly introduced me to his book entitled Nineteen Seventy One. The title of the book reminded me of George Orwell’s book, 1984. The book, Nineteen Seventy One, resonated well with the theme of the conference. Although Bangladesh Liberation brutal war was fought nearly 50 years ago, the book title reminds us the lasting impact social unrest, conflict, war and violence can have on the affected people, directly or indirectly. In casual conversations, it is not uncommon for Bangladeshi people visiting 1971 deadly event, as if it has occurred yesterday. Reading Nineteen Seventy One in many respects achieves that, and thereby underscores the need for leading a life of peaceful coexistence. Set in rural and urban Bangladesh, Rashid Askari’s narration of 12 fictitious stories touch emotions of the reader. Sharp and minute detailed description of human behaviour, and pictorial presentation of events and settings in his carefully chosen words demonstrate Rashid Askari’s mastery in story writing/telling.

  • CALL for ARTISTS CRACK INTERNATIONAL ART CAMP 2018 Organized by CRACK Trust
    CALL FOR ARTISTS CRACK INTERNATIONAL ART CAMP 2018 Organized by CRACK Trust Application Deadline: 30 August 2018 Finalist Announcement: 30 September 2018 Camp Date: 25-30 December 2018 Open Day: 30 December 2018 Venue: Smaran Matsya-beej Khamar, Rahimpur (adjacent to Dhaka-Kushtia highway), Kushtia, Bangladesh. Participants of CIAC 2017 visiting Gorai river, Kushtia. Introduction: Artist Shawon Akand and artist Delowar Hossain’s meeting had germinated the crucial idea of this platform in 2007. The initiators conceived a melting pot for artists and creative minds coming from diverse fields of praxis to come together and explore each other’s artistic realms. Eventually this platform is now constituted as a non-profit arts trust (CRACK Trust) which is primarily based in Bangladesh and also charting new artistic arenas globally. At CRACK Trust we believe that Art is a complex process and it could not be separated from life and ways of living. We think that every form of art has inter- relation and it is necessary to develop vigorous inter linkages between every field of culture to create a favorable environment for the progress of artistic practices. In this light, apart from visual artists, CRACK also engages creative people from various disciplines, including but not limited to theatre activists, photographers, film makers, musicians, psychologists, singers, poets, writers, journalists, actors, anthropologist, folklorists, historians, art critics and so on. Objective & Purpose: 1. CRACK International Art Camp (CIAC) focuses on promoting young artists & thinkers by giving them space & momentum for flourishing their talent on an international basis. 2. CIAC is building a potential cross-cultural relationship keeping away from the conventional corporate culture.
