The Report is based on extensive discussions with you, Professor T.C.A. Anant and other colleagues at the ICSSR secretariat, consultations with a wide cross section of social scientists and our own deliberations on the functioning of the ICSSR within the context of the current state of social science research. There is a general feeling that the Council has not made as large an impact in promoting serious social science research as was expected. But it is recognized that this is due to factors beyond its control and reflects the malaise affiicting social science research as a whole. The nature of this malaise and the importance and urgency of redressing it are underscored in the Report. We are convinced that radically redesigning the council in the form of the Indian Academy of Social Sciences is required to enable it to play an active role in promoting high quality social science research in India. Our major suggestions contain the following key elements: .a substantial increase in funding by earmarking 0.1% of the public sector plan expenditure every year as grants to the Academy to support research on contemporary social and developmental issues in the country; .a major reorientation in programme priorities and funding strategies to ensure better balancing between different activities; .devising stricter mechanisms and procedures to ensure accountability for superior professional quality of projects and their outputs; .To ensure that the restructured organisation is autonomous, transparent and professionally managed the Council be converted into 'The Indian Academy of Social Sciences' as a statutory body. We hope that our reportwill playa part to revitalize social scienceresearch in India. _':::~/Y'-P("<f~ ~ .~~~ A. Vaidyanathan Mihir Rakshit .(Chairman) \l~ * ~_.

  • Language and Literature
    1 Indian Languages and Literature Introduction Thousands of years ago, the people of the Harappan civilisation knew how to write. Unfortunately, their script has not yet been deciphered. Despite this setback, it is safe to state that the literary traditions of India go back to over 3,000 years ago. India is a huge land with a continuous history spanning several millennia. There is a staggering degree of variety and diversity in the languages and dialects spoken by Indians. This diversity is a result of the influx of languages and ideas from all over the continent, mostly through migration from Central, Eastern and Western Asia. There are differences and variations in the languages and dialects as a result of several factors – ethnicity, history, geography and others. There is a broad social integration among all the speakers of a certain language. In the beginning languages and dialects developed in the different regions of the country in relative isolation. In India, languages are often a mark of identity of a person and define regional boundaries. Cultural mixing among various races and communities led to the mixing of languages and dialects to a great extent, although they still maintain regional identity. In free India, the broad geographical distribution pattern of major language groups was used as one of the decisive factors for the formation of states. This gave a new political meaning to the geographical pattern of the linguistic distribution in the country. According to the 1961 census figures, the most comprehensive data on languages collected in India, there were 187 languages spoken by different sections of our society.

  • Tribal Women in the Democratic Political Process a Study of Tribal Women in the Dooars and Terai Regions of North Bengal
    TRIBAL WOMEN IN THE DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL PROCESS A STUDY OF TRIBAL WOMEN IN THE DOOARS AND TERAI REGIONS OF NORTH BENGAL A Thesis submitted to the University of North Bengal For the Award of Doctor of Philosophy In Department of Political Science By Renuca Rajni Beck Supervisor Professor Manas Chakrabarty Department of Political Science University of North Bengal August, 2018 Dedicated To My Son Srinjoy (Kutush) ABSTRACT Active participation in the democratic bodies (like the local self-government) and the democratic political processes of the marginalized section of society like the tribal women can help their empowerment and integration into the socio-political order and reduces the scope for social unrest. The present study is about the nature of political participation of tribal women in the democratic political processes in two distinctive areas of North Bengal, in the Dooars of Jalpaiguri district (where economy is based on tea plantation) and the Terai of Darjeeling district (with agriculture-based economy). The study would explore the political social and economic changes that political participation can bring about in the life of the tribal women and tribal communities in the tea gardens and in the agriculture-based economy. The region known as North Bengal consists of six northern districts of West Bengal, namely, Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, Malda, Uttar Dinajpur, Dakshin Dinajpur and Cooch Behar. There is more than 14.5 lakh tribal population in this region (which constitutes 1/3rd of the total tribal population of the State), of which 49.6 per cent are women. Jalpaiguri district has the highest concentration of tribal population as 14.56 per cent of its population is tribal population whereas Darjeeling has 4.60 per cent of its population as tribal population.
