Battle and Self-Sacrifice in a Bengali Warrior’s Epic: Lausen’s Quest to be a Raja in Dharma Ma2gal* INTRODUCTION Plots and Themes harma Ma2gal are long, narrative Bengali poems that explain and justify the worship of Lord Dharma as the D eternal, formless, and supreme god. Surviving texts were written between the mid-seventeenth and the mid-eighteenth centuries. By examining the plots of Dharma Ma2gal, I hope to describe features of a precolonial Bengali warriors” culture. I argue that Dharma Ma2gal texts describe the career of a hero and raja, and that their narratives seem to be designed both to inculcate a version of warrior culture in Bengal, and to contain it by requiring self-sacrifice in both battle and “truth ordeals.” Dharma Ma2gal *I thank Ralph W.

  • Changing Role of Science Clubs in Communicating Science
    Article 6 Global Media Journal – Indian Edition/ISSN 2249-5835 Sponsored by the University of Calcutta/ www.caluniv.ac.in Summer Issue / June 2013/ Vol.4/No.1 CHANGING ROLE OF SCIENCE CLUBS IN COMMUNICATING SCIENCE Dr. Sabyasachi Chatterjee Associate Professor, Department of History University of Kalyani, West Bengal, India Website: www.klyuniv.ac.in Email: [email protected] Abstract: The growth of scientific awareness among humans is a mere necessity for the development of society. It can be generated through science communication. Science communication is a specialized skill to make people acquainted with the methodology of science in different ways. The arena of science communication can be specified with the trinity of popularisation of science, spread of scientific temper and use of science and technology for the welfare of the common people. The role of individuals, periodicals and organisations (both governmental and non-governmental) in the context of science communication can be taken into account. In this paper an attempt will be made to look into the role of science clubs of West Bengal in communicating science. The process of establishment of science clubs was started before independence, i.e. before the birth of the state of West Bengal. Primarily, the activities of the science clubs were confined to the science popularisation programmes only. Later, the working domain of the science clubs expanded. The initiatives that were taken in developing science club movement in the formative years and in the later days were certainly in keeping with the contemporary social conditions. As time passes, the objective condition changes. It is important to explore the changing role of science clubs which the present paper is aimed at.

Ho Chi Minh City has experienced increased intensity and frequency of climate change-induced urban floods, causing socio-economic damage that disturbs their livelihoods while urban populations continue to grow. This study aims to establish a citywide flood risk map to inform risk management in the city and address climate justice locally. This study applied a flood risk assessment framework integrating a coupled nature–human approach and examined the spatial distribution of urban flood hazard and urban flood vulnerability. A flood hazard map was generated using selected morphological and hydro-meteorological indicators. A flood Citation: Wu, C.-F.; Chen, S.-H.; vulnerability map was generated based on a literature review and a social survey weighed by experts’ Cheng, C.-W.; Trac, L.V.T.

  • Dynamics of Land Use /Land Cover Changes and Its Impact on Land Surface Temperature in the Keleghai River Basin, West Bengal, India: a Remote Sensing Approaches
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 12, Issue 2, February-2021 579 ISSN 2229-5518 Dynamics of Land Use /Land Cover changes and Its Impact on Land Surface Temperature in The Keleghai River Basin, West Bengal, India: A Remote Sensing Approaches. Mr. Goutam Kumar Das M.Phil. Student of Department of Earth Science, Vidyasagar University, Medinipur, W.B, India Abstract: Land surface temperature is an important factor to play and change that estimate radiation budget and control the heat balance at the earth’s surface. Rapid population growth and changing the existing patterns of Land Use/Land Cover (LU/LC) globally, which is consequently increasing the land surface temperature (LST). The transformation of LU/LC due to rapid Built-up land expansion significantly affects the functions of Biodiversity and ecosystems as well as local and regional climates. This study evaluates the impact of LU/LC changes on LST for 2000, 2010 and 2020 in the keleghai River Basin using multi-temporal and multi-spectral Landsat-7 TM and Landsat-8 OLI satellite data sets. Our results indicated that, Built-up area and Brick kiln area were 1070.06 km2 and 46.18 km2 and decreased water bodies, agricultural land, agricultural fallow land and scrub land are 1382.13 km2, 4196.14 km2, 1529.95 km2 and 24.59 km2 respectively in the last 20 year in the study area. The distribution of changes in LST shows the Built-up area and Brick kiln area recorded the highest mean temperature and increased 26.72oC – 40.34oC and 29.28oC – 41.34oC respectively.
