Pandit Tirthanath Sarma, eminent scholar and litterateur, responded to and actively participated in the nation building by taking charge as the founder Principal of the College. From its modest inception as an Arts College, Pragjyotish College has now developed into one of the premier institutions of higher education in Guwahati as well as in the North East. At present, it is a well known full- fledged degree College, imparting higher education in Arts, Science and Commerce streams. The College also has two Post-Graduate departments, viz. Assamese and Tourism Management. The College is permanently affiliated to Gauhati University and registered under 2(F) and 12(B) of University Grants Commission Act, 1956. The College has the distinction of being assessed and accredited twice by the NAAC in 2003 and 2010 respectively, and it was placed in ‘Grade B’ in a four point scale, valid upto 2016. The College is most ideally situated on the bank of the river Bharalu in the Western part of Guwahati. Pragjyotish College is about 1 kilometre away from its confluence with the mighty Brahmaputra and about 4 kilometres away from the Guwahati Railway Station and at a distance of about 20 kilometres from the Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport. At the backdrop of the College is a beautiful panoramic view of Nilachal hill, the famous abode of Mother Goddess Kamakhya. At the entrance of the College, the two beautiful ponds present a serene atmosphere for pursuing knowledge and excellence. In the emblem of the College is ingrained the motto Tejasvinavadhitamastu (Let our studies be vigorous...) and a conch shell at the centre on a eight- petalled full blown beautiful lotus, which symbolizes pure knowledge and the relationship between the teacher and the learner, praying to Almighty God for energy, protection, maintenance that ultimately leads to peace and bliss. In its glorious existence of over sixty years, Pragjyotish College, as alma mater, has produced a galaxy of eminent persons in all walks of life. The College celebrated its Diamond Jubilee Year (2013-14). As on date the faculties of Pragjyotish College has involved full of academic activities. Teachers have organised research activities, writing books and papers of popular utility as well as higher research standard. Among the two streams (Arts and Science) seventy permanent teachers and in addition twenty- two in Commerce, seven in Computer Science, seven in Master of Tourism Management (MTM), two in Bodo and more than thirty guest faculty members. At present thirty-nine teachers are Ph.D. holders and four teachers pursuing Ph.D. with the help of UGC grants and sixteen teachers are M.Phil. holders. The Pragjyotish College Teachers’ Unit (PCTU) instituted memorial lecture of founder Principal Pandit Tirthanath Sarma, most of the departments organised UGC sponsored Seminar, Educational Talk, Blood Donation Camp and performing various academic activities with their departmental students like educational tour, publishing wall magazine, social works, etc. Aims & Scope The overwhelming purpose of the journal is to create a community of scholars and to promote serious study in the field of Humanities, Science and Commerce. It does so by acting as a vehicle that promotes scholarship and disseminates knowledge in any section of the Journal is of interest. Prag Consilience will make a serious effort to bring to light all these issues. In this publication, we have tried to follow APA (American Psychological Association) style of referencing from the book titled Simon of Schuster Handbook for Writers, 7th Ed., 2002 written by Lynn Quitman Troyka with Douglas Hesse and the book titled Strategies for Successful Writing- A Rhetoric, Research Guide, Reader and Handbook, 6th Ed., 2002 written by James A. Reinking, Andrew, W. Hart & Robert, Vonder Osten. However, we have followed MLA (Modern Language Association) style in case of some literature papers. As this is our first publication, we will take care of all these aspects in our future publication with the help of creative suggestions. In this Vol.1 No.1 (2016) of Prag Consilience (ISSN 2456-6861, RNI No. ASSMUL/2016/70132), we publish twenty-four research papers covering different subjects contributed by the esteemed authors. Here I take the opportunity to thank those authors who have contributed their valuable learned papers that have made the publication possible. To look after the research activities of the College, Pragjyotish College Research Council (PCRC) was constituted on 24/08/2015 with the following members: President: Ms. Pallabi Sarmah, Principal (i/c) Pragjyotish College Vice President: (1) Dr. Runima Baishya (Science Section) (2) Dr. Jogesh Chandra Deka (Humanities Section) Secretaries: (1) Dr. Priyam Barthakur (Science Section) (2) Dr. Jyotirmoy Sengupta (Humanities Section) Members: (1) Atanu Kr.

  • Art. IX.—On the Interpretation of the Veda
    303 ART. IX.—On, the Interpretation of the Veda. BY J. MUIR, Esq. I AM led to make some remarks on the subject of this paper by a passage in Mr. Cowell'3 preface to the fourth volume of the late Professor Wilson's translation of the Big- veda, which appears to me unduly to depreciate the services which have already been rendered by those eminent scholars both in Germany and in England who have begun to apply the scientific processes of modern philology to the explanation of this ancient hymn-collection. Mr. Cowell admits (p. vi.),— " As Vaidik studies progress, and more texts are published and studied, fresh light will be thrown on these records of the ancient world; and we may gradually attain a deeper insight into their meaning than the mediaeval Hindus could possess, just as a modern scholar may understand Homer more thoroughly than the Byzantine scholiasts." But he goes on to say :— "It is easy to depreciate native commentators, but it is not so easy to supersede them; and while I would by no means uphold Sayana as infallible, I confess that, in the present early stage of Vaidik studies in Europe, it seems to me the safer course to follow native tradition rather than to accept too readily the arbitrary con- jectures which continental scholars so often hazard." Without considering it necessary to examine, or defend, all the explanations of particular words proposed by the foreign lexicographers alluded to by Mr. Cowell, I yet venture to think that those scholars have been perfectly justified in com- mencing at once the arduous task of expounding the Veda on the principles of interpretation which they have adopted and enunciated.

  • Formation of the Heterogeneous Society in Western Assam (Goal Para)
    CHAPTER- III Formation of the Heterogeneous Society in Western Assam (Goal para) Erstwhile Goalpara district of Western Assam has a unique socio-cultural heritage of its own, identified as Goalpariya Society and Culture. The society is a heterogenic in character, composed of diverse racial, ethnic, religious and cultural groups. The medieval society that had developed in Western Assam, particularly in Goalapra region was seriously influenced by the induction of new social elements during the British Rule. It caused the reshaping of the society to a fully heterogenic in character with distinctly emergence of new cultural heritage, inconsequence of the fusion of the diverse elements. Zamindars of Western Assam, as an important social group, played a very important role in the development of new society and cufture. In the course of their zamindary rule, they brought Bengali Hidus from West Bengal for employment in zamindary service, Muslim agricultural labourers from East Bengal for extension of agricultural field, and other Hindusthani people for the purpose of military and other services. Most of them were allowed to settle in their respective estates, resulting in the increase of the population in their estate as well as in Assam. Besides, most of the zamindars entered in the matrimonial relations with the land lords of Bengal. As a result, we find great influence of the Bengali language and culture on this region. In the subsequent year, Bengali cultivators, business community of Bengal and Punjab and workers and labourers from other parts of Indian subcontinent, migrated in large number to Assam and settled down in different places including town, Bazar and waste land and char areas.

BASUMATARY Associate Professor, Department of Bodo, Bodoland University, Kokrajhar, Assam, India ABSTRACT Reception is an enthusiastic state of mind which results a positive context for diffusing cultural elements and features; even it happens knowingly or unknowingly due to mutual contact in multicultural context. It is worth to mention that the process of translation of literary works or literary genres done from one language to other has a wide range of impact in transmission of culture and its value. On the one hand it helps to bridge mutual intelligibility among the linguistic communities; and furthermore in building social harmony. Keeping in view towards the sociological importance and academic value translation is now-a-day becoming major discipline in the study of comparative literature as well as cultural and literary relations. From this perspective translation is not only a means of transference of text or knowledge from one language to other; but an effective tool for creating a situation of discourse among the cultural surroundings. In this brief discussion basically three major issues have been taken into account. These are (i) situation and reason of welcoming Indian literature and (ii) the process of translation of Indian literature into Boro and (iii) its impact in the society in adaption of translation works. KEYWORDS: Reception, Translation, Transmission of Culture, Discourse, Social Harmony, Impact INTRODUCTION The Boro language is now-a-day a scheduled language recognized by the Government of India in 2003.

  • Assam - a Study on Bihugeet in Guwahati (GMA), Assam
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 Impact Factor (2018): 7.426 Female Participation in Folk Music of Assam - A Study on Bihugeet in Guwahati (GMA), Assam Palme Borthakur1, Bhaben Ch. Kalita2 1Department of Earth Science, University of Science and Technology, Meghalaya, India 2Professor, Department of Earth Science, University of Science and Technology, Meghalaya, India Abstract: Songs, instruments and dance- the collaboration of these three ingredients makes the music of any region or society. Folk music is one of the integral facet of culture which also poses all the essentials of music. The instruments used in folk music are divided into four halves-taat (string instruments), aanodha(instruments covered with membrane), Ghana (solid or the musical instruments which struck against one another) and sushir(wind instruments)(Sharma,1996). Out of these four, Ghana and sushirvadyas are being preferred to be played by female artists. Ghana vadyas include instruments like taal,junuka etc. and sushirvadyas include instruments that can be played by blowing air from the mouth like flute,gogona, hkhutuli etc. Women being the most essential part of the society are also involved in the process of shaping up the culture of a region. In the society of Assam since ancient times till date women plays a vital role in the folk music that is bihugeet. At times Assamese women in groups used to celebrate bihu in open spaces or within forest areas or under big trees where entry of men was totally prohibited and during this exclusive celebration the women used to play aforesaid instruments and sing bihu songs describing their life,youth and relation with the environment.

  • Tribal Religion of Lower Assam of North East India
    TRIBAL RELIGION OF LOWER ASSAM OF NORTH EAST INDIA 1HEMANTA KUMAR KALITA, 2BHANU BEZBORA KALITA 1Associate Professor, Dept. of Philosophy, Goalpara College, 2Associate Professor, Dept of Assamese, Goalpara College E-mail: [email protected] Abstract - Religion is very sensitive issue and naturally concerned with the sentiment. It is a matter of faith and made neither through logical explanation nor scientific verification. That Religion from its original point of view was emerged as the basic needs and tools of livelihood. Hence it was the creation of human being feeling wonderful happenings bosom of nature at the early stage of origin of religion. It is not exaggeration that tribal people are the primitive bearer of religious belief. However religion for them was not academically explored rather it was regarded as the matter of reverence and submission. If we regard religion from the original point of view the religion then is not discussed under the caprice of ill design.. To think about God, usually provides no scientific value as it is not a matter of verification and material pleasant. Although to think about God or pray to God is also not worthless. Pessimistic and atheistic ideology though not harmful to human society yet the reverence and faith towards God also minimize the inter religious hazards and conflict. It may help to strengthen spirituality and communicability with others. Spiritualism renders a social responsibility in true sense which helps to understand others from inner order of heart. We attempt to discuss some tribal religious festivals along with its special characteristics. Tribal religion though apart from the general characteristic feature it ushers natural gesture and caries tolerance among them.

It includes the land, water, vegetation, air and the whole range of the social order and covers all the disciplines, such as chemistry, biology, ecology, sociology etc. that affect and describe these interactions. Environment would automatically be protected through ethical and spiritual life of the people. Indian life rotates around Indian literature contained in Vedas, Upanishads, Epics and the puranas with dharmashastras in the background. Veda is considered the main source of knowledge. The Vedic literature gives us the genuine principles to adjust with our environment and lead a spiritual life full of bliss. The Veda specially has dealt in detail about various aspects of environment and showed more concern for ecology. Most of the environmental problems of the present day are essentially man made. The role of man is therefore important for shape the environment in perfect harmony. So the proper following of the Vedic techniques, methods and principles and the new knowledge generated through science and technological research should be employed to save the human beings from environmental degradation.

  • Tribal Land Alienation and Ethnic Conflict: Efficacy of Laws and Policies in BTAD Area
    Tribal Land Alienation and Ethnic Conflict: Efficacy of Laws and Policies in BTAD Area By Nirmalya Banerjee * Bimal Musahary was standing in front of his charred hut, staring at the only piece of his belonging that he could still recognize; a half-burnt fan hanging from the ceiling. Villagers of Puniyagaon had all fled to the relief camp at Mudaibori, Bimal himself was also taking shelter in the safety of the camp at night. It was after the riots that had rocked the Udalguri and Darrang districts of Assam in 2008. Inmates of the rather large relief camp at Mudaibori were a mixed bag; there were Bodos, Garos, Asomiyas as well as Bengali Hindus. This camp was in Udalguri district, while the Mulsims evicted by the riots were in different relief camps, near Dalgaon in Darrang district. About a month after the riots had ended, one afternoon a few farmers were harvesting standing crop on a plot of land by the side of national highway 52, not far from the Rowta crossing, an area hit by violence. A group of people stood at the edge of the plot, watching the men working on the field. Men of the group were members of a committee that had been formed in the village to ensure peaceful harvesting. Such committees comprised members of both Bodo and Muslim communities. They had been formed to oversee the process of harvesting, so that people from the two communities do not clash over harvesting rights. Many of the ethnic clashes that have rocked the north bank of Assam frequently, can be traced back to fight over land; displacing large numbers of people.
