We may be excused if we offer a piece of friendly advice to our First-Year students. We would ask these ' fresh­ men'to bear in mind the fact that they have changed from school to college. College-life is much more free than school-life with its strict discipline, but it carries corresponding responsibilities. The dignity of a college is in the hands of its students, and it is their sacred duty to uphold it inside as well as outside the college. We hope the young gentlemen would take this bit of advice in^ the spirit in which it is offered. it if it Mr. T. S. Sterling, our Senior Professor of English, has gone Home. He has been granted furlough for eight months in continuation of the Ivong Vacation of the College for the year 1919. 7f 1* * Babu Satish Chandra De, Professor of English Eiterature, who was on deputation at the Dacca College, reverted to his substantive appointment.

After much endeavor, the institution is all set to go for the first cycle assessment and accreditation by NAAC. It was quite a task to comprehend, grasp and fulfill all the parameters of the SSR; especially so, because the College is spread over three shifts at three different timings. Connecting to and co-ordinating with 213 teachers and 76 non-teaching staff were difficult, but in the long run, fruitful. In between full session classes and with the trepidation of a nervous first- timer, keeping the deadline intact was a sweating struggle with time. All segments of the College were made to sit up and contribute their bit. Ms. Piyasa Bhowal and Sri Saumen Maity assisted us all the way through with their diligent typing. The Report published in the prescribed format, processes data in the following order: a) Preface, b) Executive Summary c) Profile of the Institution d) Criterion wise Analytical Report e) Departmental Evaluative Reports.

  • Religious Traditions in Modern South Asia
    Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 01:29 24 May 2016 Religious Traditions in Modern South Asia This book offers a fresh approach to the study of religion in modern South Asia. It uses a series of case studies to explore the development of religious ideas and practices, giving students an understanding of the social, politi- cal and historical context. It looks at some familiar themes in the study of religion, such as deity, authoritative texts, myth, worship, teacher traditions and caste, and some of the key ways in which Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism in South Asia have been shaped in the modern period. The book points to the diversity of ways of looking at religious traditions and considers the impact of gender and politics, and the way religion itself is variously understood. Jacqueline Suthren Hirst is Senior Lecturer in South Asian Studies at the University of Manchester, UK. Her publications include Sita’s Story and Śaṃkara’s Advaita Vedānta: A Way of Teaching. John Zavos is Senior Lecturer in South Asian Studies at the University of Manchester, UK. He is the author of The Emergence of Hindu Nationalism in India.

Its purpose was to create the knowledge that could inform both, the path towards the new economic paradigm, as well as the security and foreign-policy strategy befitting the brave new world India aspired to grow into. A generation has passed since. The march towards globalisation that India hoped to ride is itself under question today. India’s politics, too, is mirroring these global transformations. The country has shifted from a period of multi-party coalitions to a single-party democracy. In a new de- globalising world, India still sees itself as a leading power—one that aspires to shape international outcomes rather than just acquiesce to them.

    (~ ~ ~ Cl) z l o ~. m ....•. (X) -....j(j) - W • * -'--'- .••.. **'* •• ~~ • 2BLOG EDITORIAL On t" February, 2017 our Company completed 150 years of its journey and it is a matter of great pride for all of us that we were lucky to witness the moment that was indelibly etched in the history of Balmer Lawrie. The 150th year was extremely significant and a host of programmes were organised not only for employees within the organsation but also for external stakeholders in association with various institutions. The year- long programmes culminated with the Foundation Day celebrations on s" February 2017 across locations pan India. As promised, we are dedicating this issue of BLOGto Balmer Lawrie's completion of 150 years. Balmer Lawrie's history is unique and its various archival trivia has been of interest to many. Recently, we received two emails, with trivia related to our Company's history. An email dated 16th March, 2017 was received by Corporate Communications Dept. from Mr. Arthur Motley, Sales and Purchasing Director, Royal Mile Whiskies and Drinkmonger, Edinburgh, Scotland. Mr. Motley mentioned that he was researching an article highlighting some beautiful objects from past whisky history. One such item was a beautiful matchbook showing Laphroaig as solely imported by our organisation into Calcutta. He felt that their readers would be charmed by the idea of such a distinctive and important whisky being appreciated in Calcutta in the late nineteenth century! Hence, with reference to this, he was looking for some information on the history of our company. Hefound out that two Scotsmen Balmer and Lawrie were pioneers in tea production and became sole agents for Laphroaig in the 1880s.
