Email: [email protected] Abstract If Indian intellectual history focussed on the nature of the colonial and post-colonial state, its interaction with everyday politics, its emerging society and operation of its economy, then how much did/ does North- East appear in this process of doing intellectual history? North-East history in general and its intellectual history in particular is an unpeopled place. In Indian social science literature, North-East history for the last seventy years has mostly revolved around separatist movements, insurgencies, borderland issue and trans- national migration. However, it seldom focussed on the intellectuals who have articulated the voice of this place and constructed an intellectual history of this region. This paper attempts to explore the intellectual history of Assam through understanding the life history of three key socio-political figures – Gopinath Bordoloi, Bishnu Prasad Rabha and Chandraprabha Saikiani.

It is observed that about half of the total income of the state of Assam comes from the agricultural sector. Fig 2.1: Pictures showing agricultural practices in Assam MAIN FEATURES OF AGRICULTURE Assam has a mere 2.4 % of the land area of India, yet supports more than 2.6 % of the population of India. The physical features including soil, rainfall and temperature in Assam in general are suitable for cultivation of paddy crops which occupies 65 % of the total cropped area. The other crops are wheat, pulses and oil seeds. Major cash crops are tea, jute, sugarcane, mesta and horticulture crops. Some of the crops like rice, wheat, oil seeds, tea , fruits etc provide raw material for some local industries such as rice milling, flour milling, oil pressing, tea manufacturing, jute industry and fruit preservation and canning industries.. Thus agriculture provides livelihood to a large population of Assam. AGRICULTURE AND LAND USE For the purpose of land utilization, the areas of Assam are divided under ten headings namely forest, land put to non-agricultural uses, barren and uncultivable land, permanent pastures and other grazing land, cultivable waste land, current fallow, other than current fallow net sown area and area sown more than once. 72 Fig 2.2: Major crops and their distribution The state is delineated into six broad agro-climatic regions namely upper north bank Brahmaputra valley, upper south bank Brahmaputra valley, Central Assam valley, Lower Assam valley, Barak plain and the hilly region.

  • Chapter-Ii Growth and Development of School Of
    CHAPTER-II GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOL OF STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN NOVEL IN EGYPT AND INDIA 11 2.1. The Origin of Arabic novel: The origin of the Arabic Novel can be traced to a long process of cultural revival and assimilation, referred to Al-Nahdah, (Renaissance). Characteristic of this period were two distinct trends. The Neoclassical movement sought to rediscover the literary traditions of the past, and was influenced by traditional literary genres such as the Maqama and Alf Laila wa Laila (Thousand and One Nights). In contrast, the modernist movement began by translating Western works, primarily novels, into Arabic. The birth of the Egyptian novel, however, could not take place until the modern era, when five pre-conditions had been fulfilled: 1. The influence of European literature, where the novel developed into a major genre in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; 2. The establishment of Egyptian printing works and press rooms in the nineteenth century along with the rise of news paper production; 3. Public education and the spread of literacy; 4. A gradual liberation from oppression by foreign powers, starting with the reign of Mohammed Ali in the aftermath of the Napoleonic occupation in the early 1800s; 5. The emergence of an intellectual class with broad international learning. 1 On the other hand, the individual authors in Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt created original works by imitating the classical Maqama. The most prominent of these was Al-Muwaylihi, whose book, Hadith Isa ibn-Hisham, critiqued Egyptian society in the period of Mohammed Ali. 1. Devid Tresilian, “The Origin of the modern Arabic novel”, (article) available at http://encyclopedia.farlex.com/Arab+literature 12 This work constitutes the first stage in the development of the Arabic novel.

  • Empire's Garden: Assam and the Making of India
    A book in the series Radical Perspectives a radical history review book series Series editors: Daniel J. Walkowitz, New York University Barbara Weinstein, New York University History, as radical historians have long observed, cannot be severed from authorial subjectivity, indeed from politics. Political concerns animate the questions we ask, the subjects on which we write. For over thirty years the Radical History Review has led in nurturing and advancing politically engaged historical research. Radical Perspec- tives seeks to further the journal’s mission: any author wishing to be in the series makes a self-conscious decision to associate her or his work with a radical perspective. To be sure, many of us are currently struggling with the issue of what it means to be a radical historian in the early twenty-first century, and this series is intended to provide some signposts for what we would judge to be radical history. It will o√er innovative ways of telling stories from multiple perspectives; comparative, transnational, and global histories that transcend con- ventional boundaries of region and nation; works that elaborate on the implications of the postcolonial move to ‘‘provincialize Eu- rope’’; studies of the public in and of the past, including those that consider the commodification of the past; histories that explore the intersection of identities such as gender, race, class and sexuality with an eye to their political implications and complications. Above all, this book series seeks to create an important intellectual space and discursive community to explore the very issue of what con- stitutes radical history. Within this context, some of the books pub- lished in the series may privilege alternative and oppositional politi- cal cultures, but all will be concerned with the way power is con- stituted, contested, used, and abused.
