History and Objective: What is today the Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira, traces its origin to the educational ethos of Swami Vivekananda. True education, according to Swami Vivekananda, must enable a person to manifest all that is best in him by a harmonious development of head, hand, and heart. Such an education would not only combine in it the best elements of Eastern and Western culture but would at the same time hold aloft the Indian ideals of devotion, wisdom and morality so that it might meet the national temperament at every point.

    FOLKLORE RESEARCH IN EAST PAKISTAN By A s h r a f S id d iq u i and A . S. M. Z a h u r u l H a q u e Indiana University East Pakistan takes up the eastern part of Bengal, formerly a province of British India. It consists of an area of 55,134 square miles with a population of over fifty-five millions. This land of rivers and green fields has always provided an easy, carefree life for its people, and has moulded their character and folklore accordingly. The abundant folklore of East Pakistan contains a variety of elements, which is partly to be explained by historical forces. From the third century A.D. on, the Mouryas, the Guptas, the Palas, the Senas and the Muslims came one after another to rule the land, and grafted their ways of life and culture traits on the indigenous population. Subsequently Portuguese, French and English ships anchored in the harbors of Bengal, and left not only their merchandise but also their customs. Among these foreign traders, the British became most powerful, and were able to consolidate their authority at the expense of the fading empire of the Mughal rulers. The battle of Plassy in 1757 ended with the defeat of the Nawab of Bengal. This British victory ensured the supremacy of the British East India Company over the entire subcontinent of present-day India and Pakistan for nearly two hundred years. As a result, in the words of 2 A. SIDDIQUI & A. S. M. ZAHURUL HAQUE Toynbee, the civilization has become plural instead of singular.1 The folklore of East Pakistan, therefore, is a mixture of various cultural traditions.

  • Sanskritisation of Bengali, Plight of the Margin and the Forgotten Role of Tagore
    Journal of the Department of English Vidyasagar University Vol. 11, 2013-2014 Sanskritisation of Bengali, Plight of the Margin and the Forgotten Role of Tagore Sandipan Sen It is well known that, after the victory of Lord Clive against Sirajuddaula at the battle of Plassey in 1757, there was an unprecedented reign of loot in Bengal, as the British presided over a drainage of wealth from Bengal. According to one estimate, apart from the “official compensation” to the British army and navy, the members of the Council of the British East India Company received an amount of L 50,000 to L 80,000 each, and Clive alone took away L 234,000 over and above a jaigir worth L 30,000 a year (Smith 473). This apart, most British men carried out a grand loot at individual levels, the extent of which is difficult to imagine. The magnitude of the loot can be estimated from the fact that Govind Chand, the descendant of Mahatab Chand - the Jagat Seth during the battle of Plassey who had a staggering annual income of Rs 26,800,000 in 1765 - was reduced to penury as a result of the loot, and the British rulers granted him a monthly dole of Rs 1200 (Sikdar 986). Needless to say, this grand loot completely destroyed the economic structure of Bengal, which was a prosperous and wealthy kingdom. However, it often eludes our attention that the arrival of the British not only destroyed the economy of Bengal, but also the language of Bengal, i.e. the Bengali language.

  • Courses Taught at Both the Undergraduate and the Postgraduate Levels
    Jadavpur University Faculty of Arts Department of History SYLLABUS Preface The Department of History, Jadavpur University, was born in August 1956 because of the Special Importance Attached to History by the National Council of Education. The necessity for reconstructing the history of humankind with special reference to India‘s glorious past was highlighted by the National Council in keeping with the traditions of this organization. The subsequent history of the Department shows that this centre of historical studies has played an important role in many areas of historical knowledge and fundamental research. As one of the best centres of historical studies in the country, the Department updates and revises its syllabi at regular intervals. It was revised last in 2008 and is again being revised in 2011.The syllabi that feature in this booklet have been updated recently in keeping with the guidelines mentioned in the booklet circulated by the UGC on ‗Model Curriculum‘. The course contents of a number of papers at both the Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels have been restructured to incorporate recent developments - political and economic - of many regions or countries as well as the trends in recent historiography. To cite just a single instance, as part of this endeavour, the Department now offers new special papers like ‗Social History of Modern India‘ and ‗History of Science and Technology‘ at the Postgraduate level. The Department is the first in Eastern India and among the few in the country, to introduce a full-scale specialization on the ‗Social History of Science and Technology‘. The Department recently qualified for SAP.

Introduction A letter from a friend in Calcutta recently put to me this question: Will the investment in Bengali literature that marked Bengal’s colonial moder- nity survive the impact of globalization? Bengalis have lost their appetite for [Bengali] literature, [said my friend]. “The reading habits of the Bengali public have changed so much that were someone to write a Pather Panchali [a famous novel published in 1927] today, they would not be able to attract the attention of readers unless a well-known filmmaker created a hyped-up film ver- sion of it.

  • Eternal Bengal Ranabir Samaddar
    Eternal Bengal Ranabir Samaddar «O city, O grey city, do you not hear the lecherous steps on Kalighat Bridge! Do you hear the steps of Time, O city, O grey City!» [Samar Sen, Farewell to Paradise, 1937] The question has been repeatedly raised in the history of Bengal: What does it mean being a Bengali? But it also means that this question can be understood only in a historical frame. We have to ask, why does this question repeatedly arise? What is this history that has again and again led the Bengalis to ask of themselves, do they 1 know of their own history enough ? What sense do they make of this history that compels them to recognise that this issue of self-identity and self-knowledge is a historical one, and that therefore they must know adequately their own history to claim that they are indeed Bengalis? In short, what is this history that merges the two issues of becoming and being? As we know, this consciousness of being a Bengali is a product of modern time – modern education, modern politics, and modern history. Yet the question would be: where do we mark the beginning of the modern? How would we identify or define the epistemic break that supposedly inaugurated the modern era for the Bengalis, whence the Bengalis started thinking of being Bengalis? I admit that the question may seem somewhat academic and philosophical. But some discussion on this will help us in understanding the pattern of our own self-inquiry, this preoccupation with our collective self that marks our own history.

Published by Vivekananda International Foundation. | 2 Sister Nivedita’s Ideas on Indian Nationhood and their Contemporary Relevance About the Author Dr. Arpita Mitra has a doctoral degree in History from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. She has been a Fellow (2015-2017) at the Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla, where she has written a monograph on Swami Vivekananda's 'Neo-Vedanta'. Presently, she is Associate Fellow at the VIF, where she is working on different aspects of Indian history and culture. | 3 Sister Nivedita’s Ideas on Indian Nationhood and their Contemporary Relevance “We are a nation, as soon as we recognise ourselves as a nation.” ~ Sister Nivedita “…the love that Nivedita had for India was the truest of the true, not just a passing fancy. This love did not try to see the Indian scriptures validated in each action of the Indian people. Rather, it tried to penetrate all external layers to reach the innermost core of persons and to love that core. That is why she was not pained to see the extreme dereliction of India.
