  • Title: Women of Agency: the Penned Thoughts of Bengali Muslim
    Title: Women of Agency: The Penned Thoughts of Bengali Muslim Women Writers of 9th 20th the Late 1 and Early Century Submitted by: Irteza Binte-Farid In Fulfillment of the Feminist Studies Honors Program Date: June 3, 2013 introduction: With the prolusion of postcolornal literature and theory arising since the 1 9$Os. unearthing subaltern voices has become an admirable task that many respected scholars have undertaken. Especially in regards to South Asia, there has been a series of meticulouslyresearched and nuanced arguments about the role of the subaltern in contributing to the major annals of history that had previously been unrecorded, greatly enriching the study of the history of colonialism and imperialism in South Asia. 20th The case of Bengali Muslim women in India in the late l91 and early century has also proven to be a topic that has produced a great deal of recent literature. With a history of scholarly 19th texts, unearthing the voices of Hindu Bengali middle-class women of late and early 2O’ century, scholars felt that there was a lack of representation of the voices of Muslim Bengali middle-class women of the same time period. In order to counter the overwhelming invisibility of Muslim Bengali women in academic scholarship, scholars, such as Sonia Nishat Amin, tackled the difficult task of presenting the view of Muslim Bengali women. Not only do these new works fill the void of representing an entire community. they also break the persistent representation of Muslim women as ‘backward,’ within normative historical accounts by giving voice to their own views about education, religion, and society) However, any attempt to make ‘invisible’ histories ‘visible’ falls into a few difficulties.

  • Islamic Education in Bangladesh: Second Year Report
    ISLAMIC EDUCATION IN BANGLADESH: SECOND YEAR REPORT Mumtaz Ahmad Executive Summary 1. Islamic education in Bangladesh represents a wide variety of pedagogic approaches and institutional structures. First, there are private Quomi madrassas that are exclusively focused on traditional Islamic sciences. Then there are government-funded Alia madrassas that have added several modern subjects along with a condensed version of traditional Islamic education. Besides these two systems of madrassas, there is this phenomenon of the newly emerging English medium Islamic schools that offer an integrated curriculum combining both Islamic and modern, “secular” education. Finally, there are the public universities’ programs in Islamic Studies and Islamic History and Culture that have introduced, without discarding the body of learned tradition, considerable changes over the years by adding a variety of new disciplines as well as relatively recent scholarship, including Western, in their programs. 2. Islamic education in public universities could have emerged as an alternative to the higher education offered in traditional madrassas, but having been modeled initially on the Delhi College and the Calcutta Madrassa, it has neither been able to offer a modern orientation and critical stance in Islamic Studies, nor it has achieved the legitimacy of traditional Islamic scholarship. 3. As for the madrassa education, there is more continuity than change. No serious reform effort is currently underway either in the Alia or the Quomi system. In a political context defined by (a) intense hostility between the two mainstream political parties and (b) the imposition of emergency and the postponement of elections by the Care Taker Government, the issues such as the political parties’ reforms and the future of democracy in Bangladesh seem to have overshadowed whatever little enthusiasm was there for reforms in the Alia madrassas a couple of years ago in the government circles.

  • An Analysis of Disbursement of Waqf Funds and Their Potential in Bangladesh
    An Analysis of Disbursement of Waqf Funds and their Potential in Bangladesh Muhammad Fazlul Karim Md. Wahid Murad Abstract The religion of Islam does not only encourage the Waqf institutions to build mosques or orphanages but authorizes them accomplishing the total development in terms of their social, cultural and economic viability and religious, moral and spiritual supremacy. Thus, besides pursuing religious and philanthropic objectives it is also inherent for every Waqf institution to accomplish broader socio-economic objectives. This study is an effort to empirically analyze socio-economic profile and explore potential but unexplored expenditure options of the Waqf institutions in Bangladesh. The issues relating to expenditure are discussed alongside the discussion on socio-economic profile with the view to examine whether or not the current socio-economic profile of the Bangladesh Waqf estates is compatible with potential expenditure options. With data collected from several sources this study first analyses the socio-economic profile of the Waqf estates in Bangladesh. Several issues of the Waqf estates such as their number, registration type, beneficiaries, mode of management, properties, income, and expenditures are mainly discussed in this section. The study then discusses and recommends some potential but unexplored expenditure options for the Bangladesh Waqf estates. It is expected that the empirical findings of this study would be useful for the appropriate authorities in their efforts to operate and manage the Waqf estates in an efficient and sustainable way. Keywords: Waqf estates, socio-economic profile, expenditure options, and Bangladesh. 1. Introduction Bangladesh is predominantly a Muslim country, which has the third largest Muslim population in the world.
