In these long years, I have shared my views with many scholars. My debts, therefore, are to many people and I wish to take this opportunity to thank them all. First, I would like to thank my supervisor and mentor Professor Ananda Gopal Ghosh for his encouraging comments, meticulous reading, sharing his vast knowledge of regional history, teaching me the skills to become a good researcher and most importantly, keepir>g me on track, in fact, I broached the idea of writing a monograph on Mateta vt^n I ^art^ teadiir^ in M^a CoNlec^. Tl^ Idea, however, wcKjfci never ha\^ been mart^la^ed witttout the guidance and suggestbns of Professor Ghosh. He intoduced nr^ to the intricate worid of regional history and enabled me to ar&^itfsie my thought in a rTK>re s^tematic manner. i owe an intellectual debt to individuals in multiple k>ca^ms and from different |x>ints of research. In Malda, my teachers at MsMa Cd^gs, especially Dr. Skidhartfta Guha Roy shaped my intetiectual trajectory. At University of North Bengal, my prdessors teu^t me to ttttnk beyofKi histories "facts and figures" for whk^ i am rTK}st grateful. I have also a debt of graMliKte to Kiran Sankar Majumdar, the editor of Gourdoot, who passed away b^ore the (X}mpletion of this study. The assistance and interest of the librarians and staff at the National Library in Calcutta, Malda District Library, Kaligram Library, Mirida Zilla Parishad Library, West Bengal State Archives, West Bengal Poltee Archives, SB Branch, Malda Collectrorate Record Office, are most appreciated. They gave me ready access to the materials upon which the present study is based. A special word of thanks to Mr. Amit Chakraborty for his invaluable assistance in the production of this thesis. Some debts, sadly, can no longer im acknowledged in person. My father and mother, would have been prcHJd mnd delighted to see this thesis completed. My debts to my wife Mitali are too numerous to be listed. It was she who motivated a lethargic researcher into action. The thesis would not have complected without her unflagging support, understanding and encouragement over the years. My little daughter Tinni has been a constant source of pleasant and refireshing distraction that helped me to bear with the tedium of research. I would like to dedicate this thesis to my parents, Asis Sarkar and Gayetri Sarkar, who passed away before I couki complete this work.

Malda is the southernmost of the Northern Bengal districts. It is to be mentioned here that Malda as a district was a British creation in 1813. During the years 1876-1905, Malda formed part of the Bhagalpur Division. In 1905, the district was again transferred from Bhagalpur Division to Rajshahi Division on the formatran of the Province of Eastem Bengal and Assam. It was included in the Rajshahi Dh^iskm until August 1947. Before the Partitk>n, the district of Makia was composed c^ Wteen police stations. In 1947, under the Raddrffe Award the five Fx>lrce ^aticms of Siibganj, Nababganj, Bholahat, Nachol and Gomastapur went to East Pakistan (now Ban^adesh). THE STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Our study propose to begin w^ a brief (^scriptk>n on the land and the people of the distek^. I IHce to m^^Hi here that ttie poputatton of Msrtda betonged to difPererrt ^iruc, tunpitei^ ami mMmA groups, to \^HrM>us cartes and religkHJS comriHinities. A ^udy of tt^se e^hxm pnsuf^, suc^ as San^s, Rajbansis, Polias, Cteshis, Bincte, Mcm^ns, and MsAMte ^c. is r^c^isary because the (temogiaphic compc^kMi and sodo-culteirat dimenskms akmg with econcMTite factors came to ir^^nce soci^ aiKt poHtk^ rmn^ments in ttie district in significant ways. In this (x>nnectk>n, we will study the origin and gr(»wth of the social mobility movement among tfie Rajbansi Hindus and the Hinduiz£rtk>n nravement among the Santa! peasants in the BanrKi region of Makia.

    Layered homogeneities: Madhusudan Dutt and the dilemma of the early Bengali theatre Dhrupadi Chattopadhyay Vol. 4, No. 2, pp. 5–34 | ISSN 2050-487X | www.southasianist.ed.ac.uk 2016 | The South Asianist 4 (2): 5-34 | pg. 5 Vol. 4, No. 2, pp. 5-34 Layered homogeneities: Madhusudan Dutt, and the dilemma of the early Bengali theatre DHRUPADI CHATTOPADHYAY, SNDT University, Mumbai Owing to its colonial tag, Christianity shares an uneasy relationship with literary historiographies of nineteenth-century Bengal: Christianity continues to be treated as a foreign import capable of destabilising the societal matrix. The upper-caste Christian neophytes, often products of the new western education system, took to Christianity to register socio-political dissent. However, given his/her socio-political location, the Christian convert faced a crisis of entitlement: as a convert they faced immediate ostracising from Hindu conservative society, and even as devout western moderns could not partake in the colonizer’s version of selective Christian brotherhood. I argue that Christian convert literature imaginatively uses Hindu mythology as a master-narrative to partake in both these constituencies. This paper turns to the reception aesthetics of an oft forgotten play by Michael Madhusudan Dutt, the father of modern Bengali poetry, to explore the contentious relationship between Christianity and colonial modernity in nineteenth-century Bengal. In particular, Dutt’s deft use of the semantic excess as a result of the overlapping linguistic constituencies of English and Bengali is examined. Further, the paper argues that Dutt consciously situates his text at the crossroads of different receptive constituencies to create what I call ‘layered homogeneities’.

It has a strong impact among the audience as the appeal of Bengali folk-drama is undeniable. ‘Bolan’ is a traditional folk drama of Bengal which is mainly celebrated in the month of ‘Chaitra’ (march-april). Geographically, it is prevalent in the mid- northern rural and semi-urban regions of Bengal (Rar Banga area) – mainly in Murshidabad district and some parts of Nadia, Birbhum and Bardwan districts. Although it follows the theatrical procedures, yet it is different from the same because it has no female artists. The male actors impersonate as females and play the part. Like other folk drama ‘Bolan’ is in direct contact with the audience and is often interacted and modified by them. Primarily it narrates mythological themes but now-a-days it narrates contemporary socio-politico-economical and natural issues. As it is performed different contemporary issues of immense interest audiences is deeply integrated with it and try to assimilate the messages of social importance from it. And in this way Mass (traditional) media plays an important role in shaping public opinion and forming a platform of exchange between the administration and the people they serve.

The name Bharatnatyam is gotten from the word "Bharata’s" and subsequently connected with the Natyashashtra. Though the style of Bharatnatyam is over two thousand years old, the freshness and lavishness of its embodiment has been held even today. The strategy of human development which Bharatnatyam takes after can be followed back to the fifth Century A.D. from sculptural proof. This established move has an entrancing impact as it inspires the artist and the spectator to a larger amount of profound cognizance.

Caste is hostile to individual and collective freedom. In recent years, there have been new attempts to understand the socio-economic conditions of the life of SCs/STs and dalit peoples and household in India. The SCs/STs, and Dalits throughout the country occupy the lowest rank in the caste hierarchy. They are landless agricultural and casual labourers. They are mostly engaged in menial jobs which adds to lower their social and ritual status further and still being suppressed and oppressed in different forms of social, economic and political spheres in many parts of the country.

  • The Crisis of Bengali Gentility in Calcutta
    The Crisis of Bengali Gentility in Calcutta Benoy Ghose The social scale and the paraphernalia of gentility are all rapidly and constantly changing, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for different income-groups of the Bengali middle-classes to keep pace with that change, particularly in urban centres like Calcutta. Bengali gentility is facing a really critical situation. And it has been made worse by the heavier influx of non-Bengalis in search of employment and almost impossible by the arrival of lakhs of Bengalis from East Pakistan who are largely concentrated in and around Calcutta. The concept of gentility moreover, is no less psychological than economic. And as the frontier of is changing and its scale is ascending, the struggle for climbing up to it and for preserving the status quo as well is becoming keener day by day. The crisis of Bengali gentility is therefore not only economic. It is a social and psychological crisis also, with all its ramifying consequences. The author is a well known writer in Bengali, and his recent study on the culture of West Bengal following his earlier survey of Bengal villages and towns, cultural and economic, is a pioneer work in the field bf Bengali letters. IT Is very difficult to locate , the access to the status of gentility. These are, more or less, material concept of "gentility" in a parti- The stigma of 'upstartism' is rubbed criteria of gentility, in so far as culair social sphere because it covers out in a generation or two, and the they are directly or Indirectly asso­ many, vague concepts.'
