  • Political Phenomena in Barak-Surma Valley During Medieval Period Dr
    প্রতিধ্বতি the Echo ISSN 2278-5264 প্রতিধ্বতি the Echo An Online Journal of Humanities & Social Science Published by: Dept. of Bengali Karimganj College, Karimganj, Assam, India. Website: www.thecho.in Political Phenomena in Barak-Surma Valley during Medieval Period Dr. Sahabuddin Ahmed Associate Professor, Dept. of History, Karimganj College, Karimganj, Assam Email: [email protected] Abstract After the fall of Srihattarajya in 12 th century CE, marked the beginning of the medieval history of Barak-Surma Valley. The political phenomena changed the entire infrastructure of the region. But the socio-cultural changes which occurred are not the result of the political phenomena, some extra forces might be alive that brought the region to undergo changes. By the advent of the Sufi saint Hazrat Shah Jalal, a qualitative change was brought in the region. This historical event caused the extension of the grip of Bengal Sultanate over the region. Owing to political phenomena, the upper valley and lower valley may differ during the period but the socio- economic and cultural history bear testimony to the fact that both the regions were inhabited by the same people with a common heritage. And thus when the British annexed the valley in two phases, the region found no difficulty in adjusting with the new situation. Keywords: Homogeneity, aryanisation, autonomy. The geographical area that forms the Barak- what Nihar Ranjan Roy prefers in his Surma valley, extends over a region now Bangalir Itihas (3rd edition, Vol.-I, 1980, divided between India and Bangladesh. The Calcutta). Indian portion of the region is now In addition to geographical location popularly known as Barak Valley, covering this appellation bears a historical the geographical area of the modern districts significance.

  • 1 F.No.3/3/2009-PP-I GOVERNMENT of INDIA MINISTRY of MINORITY
    F.No.3/3/2009-PP-I GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF MINORITY AFFAIRS MINUTES OF THE 14th MEETING OF THE EMPOWERED COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER AND APPROVE THE MULTI-SECTORAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR MINORITY CONCENTRATION DISTRICTS HELD AT 10.30 A.M. ON 8TH JUNE, 2009 UNDER THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF SECRETARY, MINISTRY OF MINORITY AFFAIRS A list of members and officials present in the meeting is annexed. 2. The Chairman of the Empowered Committee explained the background for identification of minority concentration districts (MCDs) and the scheme of a multi-sectoral development programme (MsDP) designed to address the development deficits of such districts. The Chairman pointed out that the baseline survey not only brought out the updated position in respect of the relevant parameters used for identification of such districts, but also ranked the deficits in order of the extent of deprivation in the districts. It was expected that the plans submitted by the State Governments would address the deficits in order of priority. In case a deficit, ranked higher in the order of deprivation, was not proposed to be addressed by the plan, it would be incumbent on the part of the District Level Committee and the State Level Committee to bring out the reasons for not doing so. The Chairman stressed that the primary objective of this programme was to address the identified development deficits, so that the various interventions would result in the improvement of the backwardness parameters of a minority concentration district and bring it at par with the national average. 3. The Chairman stated that the fact that these districts were not just MCDs, having a substantial minority population, but were also districts comprising of other communities who suffer from the same backwardness and deprivation should not be lost sight of.

    SITUATION REPORT FLOOD, ASSAM OVERALL SITUATION With the rise of water level of River Brahamputra and its tributaries, the protected areas along the floodplains of river get affected with flood in most of the districts of Assam. The continued floods along with landslide have led to an increase in the death toll ending June 2012. According to media report, people in the affected areas have reported this as the worst flood in Assam in more than a decade. However, the flood situation is showing an improvement, as there is no rainfall in the upper catchment area since 29/June 2012.

  • INDIA: ASSAM FLOODS 27 June 2003
    INDIA: ASSAM FLOODS 27 June 2003 Information Bulletin N° 1/2003 Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) Allocated: N/A The Federation’s mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity. It is the world’s largest humanitarian organization and its millions of volunteers are active in over 180 countries. For more information: www.ifrc.org In Brief This document is being issued for information only. The Federation is not seeking any funding or other assistance from donors for this operation at this time. The Situation Assam, the northeastern state of India, experienced the first phase of flash floods due to heavy rains from 13 June, with downpours in the catchments of Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh leading to flooding of most low lying areas in the districts of Hailakandi, Dhemaji, Karimganj, Barpeta, Nalbari, Darrang, Dhubri and Kamrup. Most of the villages under these districts have been affected due to several breaches in the local dykes and many houses have been washed away, thereby rendering up to 400,000 people homeless. A Central Water Commission bulletin quoted “the Brahmaputra River was showing a rising trend all along its course, with at least eight of its major tributaries flowing above the danger level at various places. The Brahmaputra and its tributaries would continue to rise in the next 48 hours”. The flood situation in the various parts of the state remained serious as torrential rains resulted in rising water levels of rivers. Situation reports received from the following Red Cross district branches indicate: Dhemaji: On 12 June floodwaters of the Jidhal River breached the north frontier railway line in two places near Chamarajan, Kekurigaon villages.

  • Field Diary Karimganj: a Strategic Location for India-Bangladesh Trade
    Field Diary Karimganj: A Strategic Location for India-Bangladesh Trade Deepmala Ghosh Research Associate, CUTS International About the Field Visit Under the project titled „Enabling a Political Economy Discourse for Multimodal Connectivity in the BBIN Sub-region (M-Connect)‟, a team of CUTS International comprising Deepmala Ghosh and Jithin Sabu from Jaipur visited Karimganj, in January 2021. The purpose was to assess and investigate cross-border trade infrastructure and trade logistics between India and Bangladesh through Karimganj. Another purpose was to conduct stakeholder consultations to explore ways and means to promote multimodal connectivity in the BBIN sub-region. Locations Visited 1 Silchar Airport The team landed at Silchar airport, which is approximately 80kms away from Karimganj. To reach Karimganj, the team travelled by road, which was extremely tiresome. Few stretches along the National Highway (NH37) had potholes and few road stretches were under construction. The area has loose soil that makes it dusty and causes difficulty in breathing. Silchar and Karimganj are relatively warmer. Though the road connecting Silchar and Karimganj is a national highway, the maintenance of the road is abysmal. The team encountered a lot of traffic on their way. There is a flyover under construction, known as the Srikona flyover, to reduce road congestion. Silchar has a railway connection with Agartala and Guwahati. Trains to and from Guwahati are not yet functional, but goods and passenger trains are running between Silchar and Agartala. Location’s Significance in the Context of Barak Valley The team reached Karimganj, which is an integral part of the Barak valley. The Barak River enters the district through the north-eastern side near the Badarpur ghat to Haritikar near Bhanga.
