  • 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.

    Centre for Koch Rajbanshi Studies and Development H.No. 17, By-lane 2, Lakhi Mandir Beltola, Guwahati – 781028 [email protected] www.kochrajbanshicentre.org Non Profit Organization Date: 24/10/2013 PRESS RELEASE The Koch-Rajbongshi community of Assam is an indigenous aboriginal tribe of North-East India, which has been demanding for inclusion of their community in the S.T lists of Assam since 1968. The Government of India had adopted (five) criteria viz., (i) Indication of Primitive Traits, (ii) Distinctive Culture, (iii) Geographical Isolation, (iv) Shyness of contact with community at large and (v) Backwardness, in order to determine the tribal status of a particular community. For the purpose of considering the demands of the Koch-Rajbongshi people of Assam for their inclusion in the S.T lists, the Tribal Research Institute, Govt. of Assam undertook a detailed field investigation in the light of the aforesaid criteria and on 09/08/1994 the Tribal Research Institute, Govt. of Assam submitted its report stating that “there are adequate justifications for the inclusion of the Koch-Rajbongshi community in the S.T lists of Assam” . Based on the said report the Registrar General of India had stated that, “in the light of the empirical data furnished by the Triabl Research Institute, Assam, this office has ‘no objection’ to the inclusion of the Koch-Rajbongshi community in the S.T list of Assam ”. Thereafter the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Amendment) Bill, 1996 to provide for inclusion of the Koch-Rajbongshi’s in the S.T list of Assam was introduced in the Lok Sabha on 14/02/1996 and again on 12/07/1996 by Ministry of Welfare (now Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment).

    RGICS RAJIV GANDHI INSTITUTE FOR CONTEMPORARY STUDIES JAWAHAR BHAWAN, DR. RAJENDRA PRASAD ROAD, NEW DELHI-110001 RGICS LEGISLATIVE BRIEF (January, 2017) The Constitution Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016 Jeet Singh Social Cluster RGICS legislative brief The Constitution Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016 2 PART: I Key Messages The Constitutional Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016 proposes to include 23 different communities of Assam, Tripura, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand in the list STs. Despite political consensus and approval of the National Commission for Scheduled Tribe and the previous government, the NDA government took more than two and half years to move this constitutional amendment Bill. Currently there are 210 proposals of different communities for inclusion in the list of STs pending with Central government for final approval. The Bill attempts to resolve only 12 out of 210 proposals seeking ST categorization. PART: II Introduction The introduction of ‘The Constitution Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016’ in Lok Sabha in December 2016 by NDA government has brought good news for nearly 23 tribal communities. The Union Minister of Trabal Affairs Mr. Jual Oram while introduction of the Bill in the Lok Sabha said that the Bill has accepted some proposals of inclusion of few communities in the list of ST requested by five states governments- Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu and Tripura. The Bill reads, “the Bill seeks to include certain communities as well as addition of synonyms of communities in the existing lists of Scheduled Tribes.” For many of these communities, the demand of ST categorization is very old and they fought a long battle for their rightful due.

  • Ethnography of Jhapali Rajbanshis
    38 Occasional Papers, Vol 11 ETHNOGRAPHY OF JHAPALI RAJBANSHIS Keshav Kumar Shrestha * Introduction Nepal, despite being small in size, is a country with geographical and cultural diversities. The social system or structure of Nepal is based on the unity in diversity that integrates various caste, ethnic, religious, linguistic, and cultural groups. According to 2001 census, 102 types of caste/indigenous ethnic groups dwell in Nepal and 92 mother languages are spoken (C.B.S, 2002 :28-33). A comprehensive study about all the caste and indigenous ethnic groups dwelling in Nepal has not been conducted yet from the sociological and anthropological perspectives. Even today some minority ethnic groups are about to be extinct. Some even do not have the knowledge of their own cultural history. Such ethnic groups have begun to give up their ancestral cultures/traditions and adopt the customs of other castes/social groups and forget their own cultural history. According to Nepal's census held in 1991, the number of people speaking the Rajbanshi language was 85,559 which increased to 1, 29,829 in 2001's census. The Jhapa district located in the eastern Terai in Nepal is inhabited by various caste and indigenous ethnic groups. This district consists of 3 municipalities and 45 VDCs. According to 2001's census, its total population is 6, 33,042. Apart from Rajbanshis, there are other tribes of people such as Dhimals, Jhangads, Meches, Koches, Tharus, Tajpurias, etc. Compared to other caste and ethnic groups such as Bahuns, Chhetris, Newars, Rais, Limbus, etc; the Rajbanshis are * Keshav K.

They seldom form their ancient urbanism, own civilization and Great Traditions. Or they may remain stable on their simple life with fulfillment of psychobiological needs. They are often considered as serious threat to the state instead and ignored by the mainstream. They also believe on identities, race and ethnicity, aboriginality, city state, nation state, microstate and republican confederacies. They could bear both hidden and open perspectives. They say that they are the aboriginals. States were in compromise with big trade houses to counter these outsiders, isolate them, condemn them, assimilate them and integrate them. Bringing them from pre-state to pro-state is actually a huge task and you have do deal with their production system, social system and mental construct as well. And till then these people love their ethnic identities and are in favour of their cultural survival that provide them a virtual safeguard and never allow them to forget about nature- human-supernature relationship: in one phrase the way of living.

  • SHRI MADHAB RAJBANGSHI (MANGALDOI): Mr. Deputy-Speaker, Sir, I, on Behalf of the Congress Party and Also on Behalf of the Govern
    15.04 hrs. SIXTH SCHEDULE TO THE CONSTITUTION (AMENDMENT) BILL Title: Discussion on the Sixth Schedule to the Consittution (Amendment) Bill, 2003. (Discussion not concluded). THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI I.D. SWAMI): Sir, I beg to move: "That the Bill further to amend the Constitution of India in its application to the State of Assam, be taken into consideration. " In fact, the Bodo Accord was signed some time back in 1993 with the All Bodo Students Union and Bodo People Action Committee with the objective to provide maximum autonomy to the Bodos within the framework of the Constitution. But the Bodo Autonomous Council which took birth out of this Accord could not take proper shape as no elections were held and no powers were transferred. Ultimately, it became non-functional. It did not satisfy the aspirations of the people. It did not fulfil the desired objective of the Accord. A Memorandum of Settlement, which was a tripartite accord, was entered into by the Assam Government, the Central Government, and the Bodo Liberation Tigers on 10.2.2003 for durable solution of the Bodo issues. To meet the aspirations of the Bodo people as also in pursuance of the Memorandum of Settlement, it has been proposed to create an autonomous district by the name Bodoland Territorial Council Areas District in the State of Assam under Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India. To constitute a self-governing body known as the Bodoland Territorial Council for administration of BTC area district we shall have legislative, administrative and financial powers in respect of specific subject as distinguished from the earlier arrangement in which there was no legislative power given to that Council and also to provide for adequate safeguards for the non-tribals.

    www.TLHjournal.com Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 An International Refereed/Peer-reviewed English e-Journal Impact Factor: 6.292 (SJIF) Bidyash’ (foreign country) and its Performative Landscape in Bhawaiya and Chatka songs of North Bengal Mekhala Chattopadhyay Research Student English and Foreign Languages University Hyderabad Abstract Bhawaiya and Chatka songs manifest as representative songs of the people of North Bengal primarily the Rajbongshi community that resides in these northern districts and different areas of Bangladesh. As popular „folk‟ song genres, these songs capture a whole range of emotions and articulate them as an amalgamation of the cultural expression of the Rajbongshi community. They emerge (or are rather done/acted out) from a specific cultural context and either thrives through or dissolves in the process of changing history. This very dynamism is also evident in the songs through the use of the cultural idioms of separation (bichhed), longing (biraha) and desire for the „mahout bondhu‟ (the friend who is an elephant rider). Moving within the realms of the endless journeys of the mahout bondhu and the gariyal bhai (bullock cart driver) the notion of „bidyash‟ (foreign country) or „boideshi bondhu‟ (friend from a foreign place) attains a central position in these songs. This paper would engage with this concept of „bidyash‟ as it plays out in the various Bhawaiya and Chatka songs of North Bengal, specifically of Coochbehar and Alipurduar. Through the analysis and interpretation of Bhawaiya and Chatka songs, the paper wishes to contextualize the performative aspect of „bidyash‟ in the life of a Rajbongshi woman and the myriad ways in which the concept helps in exploring the poetic and philosophical dynamics between the home and the beyond.
