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.

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.

  • Prout in a Nutshell Volume 3 Second Edition E-Book
    SHRII PRABHAT RANJAN SARKAR PROUT IN A NUTSHELL VOLUME THREE SHRII PRABHAT RANJAN SARKAR The pratiika (Ananda Marga emblem) represents in a visual way the essence of Ananda Marga ideology. The six-pointed star is composed of two equilateral triangles. The triangle pointing upward represents action, or the outward flow of energy through selfless service to humanity. The triangle pointing downward represents knowledge, the inward search for spiritual realization through meditation. The sun in the centre represents advancement, all-round progress. The goal of the aspirant’s march through life is represented by the swastika, a several-thousand-year-old symbol of spiritual victory.

    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.

NDWI is widely and effectively used in identifying and visualizing surface water distribution based on satellite imagery. Landsat 7 ETM+ and Landsat 8 OLI TIRS images of pre and post-monsoon (2002, 2019) have been used. The main objective of this study is to detect the seasonal variation of waterlogging in Rangpur City Corporation (RPCC) in 2002 and 2019. In the present study, we used an integrated procedure by using ArcGIS raster analysis. For pre and post-monsoon, almost 93% accuracy was obtained from image analysis. Results show that in 2002 during the pre and post-monsoon period, waterlogged areas were about 159.58 km2 and 32.32 km2, respectively, wherein in 2019, the changes in waterlogged areas are reversed than 2002. In 2019, during pre-monsoon, waterlogged area areas were 122.79 km2, and during post-monsoon, it increased to 127.05 km2.

The sustainable management of groundwater resources requires precise quantitative evaluation, which can be achieved by applying scientific principles and modern techniques. An integrated concept has been used in the current study to identify the ground- water potential zones (GWPZs) in the Shatt Al-Arab basin using remote sensing (RS), geographic information system (GIS), and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). For this purpose, nine groundwater occurrence and movement controlling parameters (i.e., lithology, rainfall, geomorphology, slope, drainage density, soil, land use/land cover, distance to river, and lineament density) were prepared and transformed into raster data using ArcGIS software. These nine parameters (thematic layers) were allocated weights proportional to their importance. Furthermore, the hierarchical ranking was conducted using a pairwise comparison matrix of the AHP in order to estimate the final normalized weights of these layers. We used the overlay weighted sum technique to integrate the layers for the creation of the GWPZs map of the study area. The map has been categorized into five zones (viz., Citation: Allafta, H.; Opp, C.; Patra, S.

  • Shades of Water in the Landscape: Exploring the Schematics of Ancient Water Management System in Dandabhukti
    Shades of Water in the Landscape: Exploring the Schematics of Ancient Water Management System in Dandabhukti Tarun Tapas Mukherjee Bhatter College, Dantan, Paschim Medinipur Water is everywhere a sacred element in human civilization. It is, therefore, not surprising that water was an essential element in the culture of the people of Dandabhukti, a feudatory kingdom on the south-western part of Bengal and the eastern part of Odisha from the 6th century to the 12th century AD. The culture—as is found from various archaeological, historical, epigraphical and literary sources—was more or less completely dependent on agrarian economic pattern and elements of urbanity entered because of its location on cross-roads and because of economic growth for some centuries starting from the Gupta Period. So the people of the area must have applied their contemporary technology for proper utilization of water. It is now almost impossible to say what technological skills they applied to garner the resources available to them immediately in nature. But a study of the landscape with reference to the available resources can still reveal schematics of effective water management in the areas surrounding Dantan, which seems to have been the capital or administrative centre of Dandabhukti. The following sources of water were available to the people of the region—the Bay of Bengal in the south, the Subarnarekha river in the west, few channels of the river and the uplands on the northern side and many artificially created small and big tanks. Though no record is available, this is to be taken for granted that there must have been salt-trade with the people of far-off places up in the north, especially Magadha, following certain ancient trade route.
