  • The Matua Religious Movement of the 19 and 20
    A DOWNTRODDEN SECT AND URGE FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: THE MATUA RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT OF THE 19th AND 20th CENTURY BENGAL, INDIA Manosanta Biswas Santipur College, Kalyani University, Nadia , West Bengal India [email protected] Keywords : Bengal, Caste, Namasudra, Matua Introduction: Anthropologists and Social historians have considered the caste system to be the most unique feature of Indian social organization. The Hindu religious scriptures like Vedas, Puranas, and Smritishatras have recognized caste system which is nonetheless an unequal institution. As per purush hymn, depicted in Rig Veda, the almighty God, the creator of the universe, the Brahma,createdBrahmin from His mouth, Khastriya(the warrior class) from His two hands, Vaishya (the trader class) from His thigh and He created Sudra from His legs.1Among the caste divided Hindus, the Brahmins enjoyed the upper strata of the society and they were entitled to be the religious preacher and teacher of Veda, the Khastriyas were entrusted to govern the state and were apt in the art of warfare, the Vaishyas were mainly in the profession of trading and also in the medical profession, the sudras were at the bottom among the four classes and they were destined to be the servant of the other three classes viz the Brahmins, Khastriya and the Vaishya. The Brahmin priest used to preside over the social and religious festivities of the three classes except that of the Sudras. On the later Vedic period (1000-600 B.C) due to strict imposition of the caste system and intra-caste marriage, the position of different castes became almost hereditary.Marriages made according to the rules of the scriptures were called ‘Anulom Vivaha’ and those held against the intervention of the scriptures were called ‘Pratilom Vivaha’.

  • Caste and Mate Selection in Modern India Online Appendix
    Marry for What? Caste and Mate Selection in Modern India Online Appendix By Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo, Maitreesh Ghatak and Jeanne Lafortune A. Theoretical Appendix A1. Adding unobserved characteristics This section proves that if exploration is not too costly, what individuals choose to be the set of options they explore reflects their true ordering over observables, even in the presence of an unobservable characteristic they may also care about. Formally, we assume that in addition to the two characteristics already in our model, x and y; there is another (payoff-relevant) characteristic z (such as demand for dowry) not observed by the respondent that may be correlated with x. Is it a problem for our empirical analysis that the decision-maker can make inferences about z from their observation of x? The short answer, which this section briefly explains, is no, as long as the cost of exploration (upon which z is revealed) is low enough. Suppose z 2 fH; Lg with H > L (say, the man is attractive or not). Let us modify the payoff of a woman of caste j and type y who is matched with a man of caste i and type (x; z) to uW (i; j; x; y) = A(j; i)f(x; y)z. Let the conditional probability of z upon observing x, is denoted by p(zjx): Given z is binary, p(Hjx)+ p(Ljx) = 1: In that case, the expected payoff of this woman is: A(j; i)f(x; y)p(Hjx)H + A(j; i)f(x; y)p(Ljx)L: Suppose the choice is between two men of caste i whose characteristics are x0 and x00 with x00 > x0.

The paper will focus on the novel Ujantolir Upokatha by Kapil Krishna Thakur which depicts the world of the Bangla Dalit people and also attempts to create an alternate narrative of their history. Kalar Mandash by Brajen Mallick is a fictionalized Biography of Kamini Sundari Gayen who was a Rayani singer, a folk artist. Her struggle as a child widow presents the Dalit world through a woman’s perspective. When Dalits theorize on the idea of ‘difference’ they also suggest that the difference is based on perception and has been manufactured by the dominant through continued exclusion of the Dalit for centuries.

Some of them would object even to this illustration of their engagement with what have come to be understood as two different world religions, and perhaps they are better described as pilgrims in uncharted territory. Nonetheless, my debt and gratitude, particularly to those I am privileged to call friends. Many librarians and archivists have been helpful and generous in my researches over the years. Related to this thesis, particular thanks are due to the librarians and archivists at the United Theological College in Bangalore, the archivists of the CMS collection at the University of Birmingham, and the librarians and archivists at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. The late Fr. James Stuart of the Brotherhood House in Delhi provided access to books and abundant encouragement, and his successors there have continued to provide hospitable access. Thanks are also due to Bishop Raphy Manjaly and Rev. Joseph D’Souza of the diocese of Varanasi of the Roman Catholic Church for making copies of The Pilgrim in their possession available to me.

But in ruthless state conspiracy, they have become a 'Sheep', 'Shudra'. Until the appearance of Hari-Guruchand Thakur from faraway, undivided India has not seen such a significant role in the centuries of religion, society, education, industry, literature, culture, economy and politics. Even today, they do not know their glorious tradition or they are not allowed to know about them. However, after the emergence of Hari-Guruchand's Matua religion (about 200 years ago), they began to take a little bit, but still they were drenched like a sinking ship, due to the lack of proper sailors in different Castes-Varnas. Key words: Namah, Shudra, Namahshudra, Reservation, Guruchand Thakur. ‘Namasudra’ is one of the 60 Scheduled Castes of which the official list of Scheduled Castes of the government of West Bengal is composed. ‘Namah’ and ‘Shudra’ are contradictory terms.(1) Although there is no ‘Shudra’ words in the case of other Scheduled Castes, but this juxtaposition takes place in the case of ‘Namah’. ‘Namah’ is written in ‘Namasudra’on Caste certificate, it is not sub-portion of Hindu religion or Hindu Caste.

  • East Bengali Refugee Narratives of Communal Violence
    Interrogating Victimhood: East Bengali Refugee Narratives of Communal Violence Nilanjana Chatterjee Department of Anthropology University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Introduction In this paper I am interested in analyzing the self-representation of Hindu East Bengali refugees as victims of Partition violence so as to historicize and politicize their claims to inclusion within India and their entitlement to humanitarian assistance in the face of state and public disavowal. I focus on the main components of their narratives of victimhood, which tend to be framed in an essentializing rhetoric of Hindu-Muslim difference and involve the demonization of “the Muslim.” I conclude with a brief consideration of the implications of this structure of prejudice for relations between the two communities in West Bengal and the rise of Hindu fundamentalism nationwide. A story I was told while researching East Bengali refugee agency and self-settlement strategies in West Bengal bring these issues together for me in a very useful way. Dr. Shantimoy Ray, professor of history and East Bengali refugee activist had been sketching the history of the refugee squatter colony Santoshpur, referred to the enduring sense of betrayal, loss and anger felt by East Bengalis after the partition of Bengal in 1947: becoming strangers in their own land which constituted part of the Muslim nation of Pakistan, being forced to leave and rebuild their lives in West Bengal in India, a “nation” that was nominally theirs but where they were faced with dwindling public sympathy and institutional apathy. Spurred by their bastuhara (homeless) condition-- a term which gained political significance and which referred to their Partition victimhood, groups of middle and working class refugees began to “grab” land and resettle themselves in West Bengal.

Therefore, He creates all types of environment and necessary things whatever he or she needs. He invented a suitable world and a beautiful nature for him or her. Everything goes on nature‟s own rule and regulation. No creature is unbound within this world. However, when any animal has become greedy, he wants more and hurts others for his entertainment or demand. Then, he has broken all the limits and has crossed all the boundaries. After that, he has created his own rules and regulations. In addition, he has divided many formulas between him and others. He has started to torture others and to absorb all types whatever he or she could. For these reason creates any new things like new society, status, and ways of living and different types of races. We all know that there is any difference within the word „race of man‟. However, some people have created different kinds community within human being. We can see a lot of communities within this world. Many reasons are present for appearing of any new community.
