Most of the democracies in the world urge for popular participation and people’s mobilization in the elections. After the Second World War the study of electoral politics, get new momentum under the impact of behavioural revolution. These studies not only based on quantitative analysis but also try to trace people’s participation and its trends. The participation of women in the electoral process in India is quite negligible. Both in terms of party competition and voting women always left behind. After independence women, engagement in the electoral battle was limited. They not only deprive in social engagement but also not able to maintain continuity in the political process. This study examines the quality aspects of participation of the people such as level of participation, quantitative aspects like strength and rate of participation and trends of participation of people particularly women in the parliamentary and state assembly elections and the study is based on secondary data collected from various survey reports.

  • Budget Speeches Presented Before This August House Starting from the First Budget Laid by Maulavi Saiyd Sir Muhammad Saadulla on 3Rd August 1937
    1. Speaker Sir, I stand before this August House today to present my fifth and final budget as Finance Minister of this Government led by Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Sarbananda Sonowal. With the presentation of this Budget, I am joining the illustrious list of all such full-time Finance Ministers who had the good fortune of presenting five budgets continuously. From the Financial Year 1952-53 up to 1956-57, Shri Motiram Bora, from 1959-60 to 1965-66, former president of India Shri Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed in his capacity as Finance Minister of Assam, and then Shri Kamakhya Prasad Tripathi from 1967-68 to 1971-72 presented budgets for five or more consecutive years before this August House. Of course, as and when the Chief Ministers have held additional responsibility as Finance Minister, they have presented the budget continuously for five or more years. This achievement has been made possible only because of the faith reposed in me by the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal and by the people of Assam. I also thank the Almighty for bestowing upon me this great privilege. This also gives us an opportune moment to now digitise all the budget speeches presented before this August House starting from the first budget laid by Maulavi Saiyd Sir Muhammad Saadulla on 3rd August 1937. 2. Hon’ble Speaker Sir, on May 24, 2016, a new era dawned in Assam; an era of hope, of aspiration, of development and of a promise of a future that embraces everyone. Today, I stand before you in all humility, to proudly state that we have done our utmost to keep that promise.

  • An Introduction to the Sattra Culture of Assam: Belief, Change in Tradition
    Journal of Ethnology and Folkloristics 12 (2): 21–47 DOI: 10.2478/jef-2018-0009 AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SATTRA CULT URE OF ASSAM: BELIEF, CHANGE IN TRADITION AND CURRENT ENTANGLEMENT BABURAM SAIKIA PhD Student Department of Estonian and Comparative Folklore University of Tartu Ülikooli 16, 51003 Tartu, Estonia e-mail: saikia.baburam2@gmail.com ABSTRACT In 16th-century Assam, Srimanta Sankaradeva (1449–1568) introduced a move- ment known as eka sarana nama dharma – a religion devoted to one God (Vishnu or Krishna). The focus of the movement was to introduce a new form of Vaishnava doctrine, dedicated to the reformation of society and to the abolition of practices such as animal sacrifice, goddess worship, and discrimination based on caste or religion. A new institutional order was conceptualised by Sankaradeva at that time for the betterment of human wellbeing, which was given shape by his chief dis- ciple Madhavadeva. This came to be known as Sattra, a monastery-like religious and socio-cultural institution. Several Sattras were established by the disciples of Sankaradeva following his demise. Even though all Sattras derive from the broad tradition of Sankaradeva’s ideology, there is nevertheless some theological seg- mentation among different sects, and the manner of performing rituals differs from Sattra to Sattra. In this paper, my aim is to discuss the origin and subsequent transformations of Sattra as an institution. The article will also reflect upon the implication of traditions and of the process of traditionalisation in the context of Sattra culture. I will examine the power relations in Sattras: the influence of exter- nal forces and the support of locals to the Sattra authorities.

  • Chapter Iv Vaisnavism and Satra Institution in Assam
    CHAPTER IV VAISNAVISM AND SATRA INSTITUTION IN ASSAM The vaisnavite movement of Assam initiated by Shri Sankaradeva during the last part of fifteenth century of Christian era is remarkable for the religious and social life of medieval Assam. Its impact on religion, literature, fine arts and social life of Assam, particularly on the Brahmaputra valley is indeed great. Now the details of vaisnavism are discussed below- Vaisnavism “Vaisnavism is the cult of worshipping Vishnu as the supreme deity in any one of his several forms. Later on vaisnavism was known as neo-vaisnavism, which had been propagated in the 15th 16th centuries onwards, stress was laid on bhakti and on the singing of prayer songs than on other priestly rituals” (Sarma, 1990: 327). The bhakti movement or the ekasharaniya-naam-dharma (religion to supreme devotion to one God) initiated by Sankaradeva towards the end of the 15th century reflects the religious, social and cultural history of the population of Assam (Nath, 1988: 306). Bhakti (a way to attain Holy Communion with God through devotion) movement was started by Sankaradeva at Bardowa which is situated at the middle of Assam. There after it spread throughout Assam, particularly in the Brahmaputra valley. Sankaradeva the father of this movement had to travel from one place to another place to avoid complexities that developed in the society in the course of his movement. This indirectly helped in the spread of his religion. This movement bred new ideas and institutions which upsurge religion, culture and other parameters. a) Vaisnavism in India: A social reform movement swept across India between the 12th and 15th century A.D and it was the bhakti movement based on the liberal doctrine of bhakti (Nath ed, 1989: 15).

  • History, Development and Contribution of the SATTRA
    History, Development and Contribution of The SATTRA The Vaisnavite Sattra has been playing a very significant role over four and a half centuries in the religious and cultural field of Assam. Some of the Sattra have also influenced the political history stepping beyond religious and cultural arena. Although, over the decades, due to the influence of modernization, the unfathomed loyalty of people towards Sattra is diminishing, the centrifugal force of binding the society in Assam is still functional. The some of the Sattra established at the time of Mahapurush Sankardeva with sound financial strength still continue to command respect from the people. Till the last decade of 20th Century, almost every Assamese family used to maintain close contact with their Sattra and continued to take teachings from the preceptors and then lead their life as directed by them. However, due to impact of modern education and civilization, the religious bindings are weakening and the people are becoming more realistic and materialistic. The Sattra too are no longer capable of keeping pace with time and are unable to maintain their earlier strong bond with the masses. But the four and a half century old bond has not been completed snapped as yet. Although, we find more than five hundred names of the Sattra in Assam, in reality, the number is not that large. Branches and sub-branches carved out from certain original Sattra have accounted for the increase of a few hundred of such Sattra. Establishment of new Sattra by off-springs after leaving their original Sattra, particularly belonging to non-celibate groups, has contributed to the growth in number spread over between Xadiya (The eastern most of part of the Brahmaputra Valley) and Koch-Bihar (In North Bengal) at present.

  • Vaishnavism in Assam During 13 and 14Th Centuries AD in India There
    Vaishnavism in Assam During 13th and 14th centuries AD in India there was a plexus of forces that led to the development of new dimensions in Hinduism. One of the dimensions was founded on the liberal doctrine of Bhakti basically simplifying the Hindu philosophy and religious practices from complex Sanskrit tradition to easily comprehensible vernacular languages. It was a progressive and democratic movement which laid emphasis on the unity of the Godhead, stood against excessive ritualism, preached a faith based on constant devotion, fought against caste prejudices and stressed on the equality of man. Several saints of great endowments appeared in various provinces to carry the gospels of the new faith to the masses by rendering the Sanskrit Puranas into regional languages. Of these saints, Ramananda, a Brahmana of Allahabad, was the most impressive figure and occupied the first place at that time (1400-1470 A.D.). He worshipped Rama and preached his doctrine in Hindi. Kabir (1440-1470 A.D.) was one of his chief disciples. Another eminent leader of the movement was Vallabhacharya (1479-1531 A.D.), a Brahmana of the Telugu country. He worshipped Krishna and propagated his doctrine in the south. In Maharashtra the religion of Bhakti was preached by Namadeva (1400-1430 A.D.) who was a tailor by caste. In Bengal arose the notable saint Chaitanya (1485-1533 A. D.), born of a learned Brahmana family of Nadia. In Assam appeared the great Guru Sankardeva (1449-1569 A.D.), a Kayasth by caste, who shaped the religious, social, cultural, and literary life of the people of the province for ages to come.

  • Ethos of Satra Institution and Its Impact on Assamese Society
    P: ISSN No. 0976-8602 RNI No. UPENG/2012/42622 VOL.-10, ISSUE-1, January 2021 E: ISSN No. 2349-9443 Asian Resonance Ethos of Satra Institution and Its Impact on Assamese Society: An Evaluation Paper Submission: 15/01/2021, Date of Acceptance: 27/01/2021, Date of Publication: 28/01/2021 Abstract Even in the present time satra institutions are of immense importance for socio-cultural practices and spiritual enlightenment in the Assamese society. Vaishnava saint Srimanta Sankardeva is said to have established his first satra at Bardowa in the district of Nagaon, Assam, the place where he was born. Later a number of satras grew up at places where Sankardeva went and stayed during his travel from Bardowa (Upper Assam) to Barpeta (Lower Assam). In the present paper an attempt is made to understand the role of satras and namghars in shaping religious and cultural history of Assam and how these institutions put it’s far reaching impacts of ethos in the process of making the Assamese society. Keywords: Assam, Neo-Vaishnavism, Social Assimilation, Cultural Enlightenment, Reformation, Integrity. Introduction In the second half of the fifteenth century, the erstwhile religious history of Assam embraced a new shape with the emergence of the neo- Vaishnavism propounded by the great Vaishnava saint, reformer and visionary Srimanta Sankaradeva. Sankardeva had been instrumental in bringing various races, tribes and religious groups into one common fold for why we today enjoy in Assam a unique demographic structure with variety. He thus upholds a principle of unity in diversity for the first time. Two major institutional aspects of the Neo-Vaishnavism, Satra and Namghar are the evidences of such democratic ideology of the saint.

  • Assam As a Frontier State of India Had Been a Veri~ Table Asylum for All Kinds of Religious Beliefs
    i, I' ' 'I I :1 CHAPTER VII I I RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS AND SITES Assam as a frontier state of India had been a veri~ table asylum for all kinds of religious beliefs. Her vast majority of the people belonged to non-Aryan tribes who had distinct manners, customs and religions. Even those who professed Hinduism, loosely adhered to Vaisnavism or Saivism, Saktism or Tantricism. The various Pithas (holy places) of Assam for the most part were of non-Aryan origin. Before the introduction of the Brahmanical faith, the foundation of various cults in I Assam was laid by Austric and chino-Tibetan elements. As a result Brahmanism had to be modified, to a large extent to incorporate into its fold not only non-Aryan deities, bUt also to introduce v~rious local myths and rituals. EVen after the spread of Hinduism, the non-ArYan cults survived and continued to influence it to a considerable extent, with the result that in a single religious centre like Hajo, we find a meeting place of all the ArYan and non-ArYan faiths. The spread of ArYan culture in Ancient Assam was largely due to the settlement of the Brahmanas. The royal patronage helped in the spread of Hinduism. The earlieet known instance of this was in the reign of Bhutivarman (of 6th Century A.D.) who donated lands to 205 Brahman farndlies. 1 Saivism: The worship of Siva prevailed in Assam from a remote past and perhaps it was the most popular form of religion both among the aboriginals and Aryanised people.

LITERATUREIssue.2, 2017 (April -June) AND TRANSLATION STUDIES (IJELR) A QUARTERLY, INDEXED, REFEREED AND PEER REVIEWED OPEN ACCESS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL http://www.ijelr.in KY PUBLICATIONS REVIEW ARTICLE Vol. 4. Issue.2., 2017 (April-June) The Humanist Heritage of Assamese Literature (From the Beginning to the Independence) SHIVAJIT DUTTA Assistant Professor, Department of English Doomdooma College, Rupai Siding, Tinisukia, Assam, India E-mail:shivajitdutta@gmail.com ABSTRACT Heritage is that of the past the pulse of which is felt at present. In this sense the th th scanty Assamese literature produced during 8 to 12 century bears sheer historical th significance, but can’t be called heritage. The 13 century Assamese literature mostly patronized by non-Aryan kings more or less fall in the same category, the only exception being Madhav Kandali’s “Saptakanda Ramayana”. But, the first literature that can be properly termed as “heritage” with profound humanist content is th th SHIVAJIT DUTTA undoubtedly that produced in 15 and 16 centuries by Shankardeva and Madhavdeva, the Assamese counterparts of the pan-Indian Medieval Neo- Vaisnavite Bhakti movement. The Shakta literature popularly known as “Panchali Literature” is also a heritage but can’t be bracketed as “humanist”. The examples of the two Gurus continued to remain direct forming influences until the 18th century in both prose and poetry particularly in the prose biographies of the Gurus. Alongside, developed the purely this-worldly literature called “buranjis” (histories) by the Ahoms in this century.
