From the Desk of the General Secretary Dear Members and Well-wishers, I feel extremely privileged in wishing you all a very Happy New Year, 2021 on behalf of the Council of The Asiatic Society, Kolkata. After passing through almost a year, full of anxiety, trauma and turmoil caused by the outbreak of COVID-19, we are now face to face with many new challenges. Notwithstanding all the hanging pressures on our daily life we have to withstand its escalating effects on the one hand and to curve out a space within for keeping faith on the collective strength of humanity and wisdom on the other. Our genuine efforts of guarding the good values of life will certainly help us tide over the crisis and chaos of the immediate past. Friends, let us remember with reverence those near and dear souls whom we have lost during the last one year due to CORONA infection, natural catastrophe, old age, system failures and miscellaneous other factors. Their individual and collective contributions in various fields of cultivation of knowledge have been our cumulative source of rich experiences that will guide us in our future goal of activities. The Asiatic Society will step into its glorious 238th Foundation Day on January 15, 2021. With all the imposed limitations of the current pandemic predicament we plan to observe this important occasion by holding the Foundation Day Oration to be delivered by the eminent scientist Professor Partha P Majumder, Founder Director, National Institute of Biomedical Genomics and National Science Chair. Sri Jagdeep Dhankhar, The Hon’ble Governor of West Bengal and Patron of The Asiatic Society, has kindly consented to grace the occasion as the Chief Guest. Sri Prahlad Singh Patel, the Hon’ble Minister of Culture, Government of India has also confirmed to be present as the Guest of Honour. May I share with you that The Asiatic Society has observed 70 years of the Indian Constitution through various programmes. The Society also plans to observe 125 years of birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in a befitting manner. We deeply mourn the sad demise of Professor Vinay Kumar Srivastava, former Director of Anthropological Survey of India, a recipient of Dr. Panchanan Mitra Memorial Lectureship for 2010 of The Asiatic Society and Central Government Nomi- nee to the Council of The Asiatic Society; Dr. Sudhir Chakraborty, eminent Bengali Educationist and Essayist and a recipient of Dr. Biman Behari Mazumdar Memorial Lectureship for 2002 & Professor Sukumar Sen Memorial Gold Medal for 2012 of The Asiatic Society; Professor Uttara Chakraborty, a noted Historian, celebrated scholar of Women Studies, one of the Editors of the book Time Past and Time Present: Two Hundred and Twenty-Five Years of The Asiatic Society and Life Member of the Society; Professor Swapan Majumdar, eminent Professor of Comparative Literature, Jadavpur University and a recipient of Rabindranath Tagore Birth Centenary Plaque for 2015 of The Asiatic Society; Professor Alokeranjan Dasgupta, eminent poet based in Netaji in battlefront Germany and a recipient of Professor Sukumar Sen Memorial Gold Medal for 2019 of The Asiatic Society; Sri Soumitra Chatterjee, a celebrated film and drama person- ality, a poet, painter & an essayist and a recipient of Priya Brata Roy Gold Medal for 2010 of The Asiatic Society.

  • THE POLYMATH VERSUS TRADITION ISWAR CHANDRA VIDYASAGAR and HIS TRYST with HUMANISM** Anjashi Sarkar*
    Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh (Hum.), Vol. 65(2), 2020, pp. 151-177 THE POLYMATH VERSUS TRADITION ISWAR CHANDRA VIDYASAGAR AND HIS TRYST WITH HUMANISM** Anjashi Sarkar* Abstract Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar as a philanthropist and humanist has evoked interest in various research fields and conversations across generations. When it comes to the pathos of the Indian society during the nineteenth century it is inclusive of the efforts undertaken to deal or fight the same. In this context, a polymath stands as a primary factor and an exemplary figure for the much-needed awakening of young and new generations. Vidyasagar not only as a humanist but also as a human being has been at the forefront of the renaissance we are acquainted with as far as the Bengal chapter in the nineteenth century is concerned. His academic and philosophical endeavours have gathered attention of scholars, officer- administrators, etc. time and again. His adventures and experiences may be evaluated in various ways; in one aspect as a coming of age game changer in the Indian society, and, in the other as a humanist who brought in shades of life in every undertaking he was associated with or displayed immense passion about. This paper is meant to highlight the exceptionality of Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar, based on primary and secondary sources, and how his endeavours have left an impression in the minds of potential radicals. Introduction Whenever we have come across thinkers and scholars from all eras, we tend to analyze what made them unforgettable personalities. In addition to this, we attach various events that shaped up their notions and understandings about the immediate environment.

Undergraduate Programme Secretariat Preamble The University Grants Commission (UGC) has initiated several measures to bring equity, efficiency and excellence in the Higher Education System of country. The important measures taken to enhance academic standards and quality in higher education include innovation and improvements in curriculum, teaching-learning process, examination and evaluation systems, besides governance and other matters. The UGC has formulated various regulations and guidelines from time to time to improve the higher education system and maintain minimum standards and quality across the Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) in India. The academic reforms recommended by the UGC in the recent past have led to overall improvement in the higher education system. However, due to lot of diversity in the system of higher education, there are multiple approaches followed by universities towards examination, evaluation and grading system. While the HEIs must have the flexibility and freedom in designing the examination and evaluation methods that best fits the curriculum, syllabi and teaching–learning methods, there is a need to devise a sensible system for awarding the grades based on the performance of students.

  • Role of Translation in Comparative Literature
    Role of Translation in Comparative Literature Surjeet Singh Warwal Abstract In today’s world Translation is getting more and more popularity. There are many reasons behind it. The first and the foremost reason is that it contributes to the unity of nations. It also encourages mutual understanding, broad-mindedness, cultural dialogues and intertextuality. But one can hardly think of comparative literature without immediate thinking of translation. For instance most readers in India know the works of Goethe, Tolstoy, Balzac, Shakespeare and Gorky only through translation. It is through the intermediary of translator that we get access to other literatures. Thus Comparative Literature and translation humanize relationship between people and nations. As an intermediary between languages, thoughts and cultures, they contribute to the respect of difference and alterability. Moreover, they unite the self and the other in their truths, myths, force and weakness. From a historical perspective, comparative literature and translation have always been complementary. Without the help of translation a normal person, who usually knows two to three languages would never have known the universal masterpieces of Dante, Shakespeare, Borges, Kalidas, and Cervantes etc. A normal person usually may not know more than two-three languages. But if s/he wanted to study and compare the literature of two or more languages s/he must be familiar with those languages and cultures. If s/he does not know any of these languages s/he can take help of translation. Those texts might be translated by someone else who knows that language and the comparativist can use that translated text to solve his/her purpose.

  • Islamic Esotericism in the Bengali Bāul Songs of Lālan Fakir Keith Cantú [email protected]
    Research Article Correspondences 7, no. 1 (2019): 109–165 Special Issue: Islamic Esotericism Islamic Esotericism in the Bengali Bāul Songs of Lālan Fakir Keith Cantú [email protected] Abstract This article makes use of the author’s field research as well as primary and secondary textual sour- ces to examine Islamic esoteric content, as mediated by local forms of Bengali Sufism, in Bāul Fa- kiri songs. I provide a general summary of Bāul Fakiri poets, including their relationship to Islam as well as their departure from Islamic orthodoxy, and present critical annotated translations of five songs attributed to the nineteenth-century Bengali poet Lālan Fakir (popularly known as “Lalon”). I also examine the relationship of Bāul Fakiri sexual rites (sādhanā) and principles of embodiment (dehatattva), framed in Islamic terminology, to extant scholarship on Haṭhayoga and Tantra. In the final part of the article I emphasize how the content of these songs demonstrates the importance of esotericism as a salient category in a Bāul Fakiri context and offer an argument for its explanatory power outside of domains that are perceived to be exclusively Western. Keywords: Sufism; Islam; Esotericism; Metaphysics; Traditionalism The history of the Bāul Fakirs includes centuries of religious innovation in which various poets have gradually created a folk tradition highly unique to Bengal, that is, Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. While there have been several important works published on Bāul Fakirs in recent years,1 in this ar- ticle I aim to contribute specifically to scholarship on Islamic esoteric con- tent in Bāul Fakiri songs, as mediated by local forms of Sufism.2 Analyses in 1.

  • Wandering Writers in the Himalaya: Contesting Narratives and Renunciation in Modern Hindi Literature
    Cracow Indological Studies vol. XVII (2015) 10.12797/CIS.17.2015.17.04 Nicola Pozza [email protected] (University of Lausanne, Switzerland) Wandering Writers in the Himalaya: Contesting Narratives and Renunciation in Modern Hindi Literature Summary: The Himalayan setting—especially present-day Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand—has fascinated many a writer in India. Journeys, wanderings, and sojourns in the Himalaya by Hindi authors have resulted in many travelogues, as well as in some emblematic short stories of modern Hindi literature. If the environment of the Himalaya and its hill stations has inspired the plot of several fictional writ- ings, the description of the life and traditions of its inhabitants has not been the main focus of these stories. Rather, the Himalayan setting has primarily been used as a nar- rative device to explore and contest the relationship between the mountain world and the intrusive presence of the external world (primarily British colonialism, but also patriarchal Hindu society). Moreover, and despite the anti-conformist approach of the writers selected for this paper (Agyeya, Mohan Rakesh, Nirmal Verma and Krishna Sobti), what mainly emerges from an analysis of their stories is that the Himalayan setting, no matter the way it is described, remains first and foremost a lasting topos for renunciation and liberation. KEYWORDS: Himalaya, Hindi, fiction, wandering, colonialism, modernity, renunci- ation, Agyeya, Nirmal Verma, Mohan Rakesh, Krishna Sobti. Introduction: Himalaya at a glance The Himalaya has been a place of fascination for non-residents since time immemorial and has attracted travellers, monks and pilgrims and itinerant merchants from all over Asia and Europe.

Impatiens benthamii Steenis (Balsaminaceae) is re-collected from the type locality, Khasi Hills, Meghalaya, India, almost 60 years since it was last collected. The history and nomenclatural complexity of this little-known endemic species is discussed. A clarification of the distributional range of the species is given due to previous erroneous reports. To facilitate its proper identification, a detailed description based on live materials and colour photographs is provided. The characters of Impatiens benthamii are compared to those of closely related species. A lectotype is designated. Keywords. Distribution, endemic, Khasi Hills, lectotype Introduction The Indian species Impatiens radicans Benth. ex Hook.f & Thomson first appeared in Wallich (1832) but this name was not validly published. It was later validly published in Hooker & Thomson (1859). In the same publication they also published Impatiens salicifolia Hook.f. & Thomson which was later synonymised with I. radicans (Hooker, 1905). However, the name Impatiens radicans Benth. ex Hook.f. & Thomson is a later homonym of I. radicans Zoll. & Moritzi (Moritzi, 1846). Impatiens radicans Zoll. & Moritzi is now treated as a synonym of I.

It uncovers a historical pattern of Bengali intellectual life that marked the period from the 1870stothe1920s, whereby an imperial imagination was transformed into an international one, as a generation of intellectuals born between 1885 and 1905 reinvented the political category of “youth”. Hermeneutics, as a philosophically informed study of how meaning is created through conversation, and grounded in this essay in the thought of Hans Georg Gadamer, helps to reveal this pattern.
