  • Searching for the Greatest Bengali: the BBC and Shifting Identity
    National Identities Vol. 10, No. 2, June 2008, 149Á165 Searching for the greatest Bengali: The BBC and shifting identity categories in South Asia Reece Jones* University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA Drawing on debates generated by the BBC Bengali Language Service’s naming of the greatest Bengali of all time, this article investigates the shifting boundaries between group identity categories in our ‘globalising’ world. First, the con- troversy over the meaning of the term ‘Bengali’, which emerged in contemporary Bangladesh and India in response to the BBC’s list, is investigated. Then writings and speeches of several of the individuals who were honoured as the greatest Bengalis are analysed in order to draw out the multiple ways they approached their own Bengali identities. In the conclusion, it is argued that rather than imagining the end of place-based identity categories through the process of globalisation, it is more useful to conceptualise shifting categories that continue Downloaded By: [Jones, Reece] At: 15:14 29 April 2008 to incorporate a place-based aspect, but in hybrid and contradictory ways. Keywords: categories; ethnicity; nations; globalisation; South Asia In Spring 2004, following the British Broadcasting Company’s naming of Winston Churchill as the greatest Briton of all time, the BBC Bengali Language Service conducted a survey of its twelve million listeners to determine the greatest Bengali of all time (BBC, 2004).1 Respondents were asked to rank their top five choices and in the end more than 100 individuals received votes. The top twenty were announced one per day beginning on 26 March, Bangladesh’s Independence Day, and ending on 15 April, the Bengali New Year’s Day, with the naming of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as the greatest Bengali of all time.

  • Dreaming of a Golden Bengal: Discontinuities of Place and Identity in South Asia
    Asian Studies Review September 2011, Vol. 35, pp. 373–395 Dreaming of a Golden Bengal: Discontinuities of Place and Identity in South Asia REECE JONES* University of Hawai‘i at Manoa Abstract: This article analyses five different representations of the homeland category ‘‘Bengal’’. The region of Bengal was partitioned twice in the twentieth century and imagined in a multitude of forms at different historical moments. The article describes the conditions that allowed different territories and peoples to crystallise as ‘‘Bengal’’ and ‘‘the Bengalis’’, and investigates why some versions of the Bengali homeland proved durable as others faded away. Rather than asking who is the real Bengali and where is the real Bengal, it investigates how particular identity categories become popularly practised and why particular images of the homeland come to be perceived as true, legitimate and authentic. It concludes that homeland categories are never fixed and finalised, but are rather always in a process of becoming, and are contested, reimagined and redefined as socio-political contexts change. Keywords: Bangladesh, East Pakistan, geography, homeland, identity, India, West Bengal Downloaded by [reece jones] at 14:45 22 August 2011 Introduction: Imagining a Bengali Homeland Amar sonar Bangla, ami tomai bhalobasi: ‘‘My golden Bengal, I love you’’. Rabindranath Tagore, 1906 The independence of Bangladesh in 1971, and the subsequent international recognition of its sovereignty, was a major event in the history of South Asia and the world. During the 40-year period after the end of World War II, the Bangladeshi independence movement was the only successful non-decolonisation secessionist movement worldwide (Buchanan and Moore, 2003).1 Bangladesh’s independence *Correspondence Address: Department of Geography, University of Hawai‘i at Manoa, 2424 Maile Way, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA.

We express our gratitude to Takshila Educational Society for supporting the lecture series. "They must have to go therefore, elsewhere": Mapping the Many Displacements of Bengali Hindu Refugees from East Pakistan, 1947 to 1960s Anwesha Sengupta1 British India’s partition (1947) generated massive refugee movement across the newly-formed international border. West Bengal witnessed huge refugee influx from East Pakistan, while the Muslims had to make a reverse trek in large numbers. This paper focuses on the Bengali Hindu refugees who entered West Bengal. It explores a particular “rehabilitation” policy of the West Bengal Government, known as the dispersal scheme. It was a peculiar form of refugee movement that was initiated and regulated by the government to prevent, on one hand, congestion of the refugees in particular areas like Calcutta and, on the other, to provide a labour force for underdeveloped and thinly populated areas like the Andaman Islands and Dandakaranya.

  • The Heritage and Culture of Tripura Are Vast and Vivid Because of the Large Number of Races Residing in the State from the Ancient Period
    Heritage and the Legacy of Tripura: A Gift from the Older Generations The heritage and culture of Tripura are vast and vivid because of the large number of races residing in the state from the ancient period. Every community has its own set of customs and traditions which it passes on to its younger generation. However, some of our customs and traditions remain the same throughout the state of Tripura . The heritage of Tripura is a beautiful gift from the older generation that helped the residents of Tripura to build a harmonious society. Preservation of the rich heritage of Tripura will certainly bring prosperity for the entire state of Tripura . Tripura is an ancient princely State ,blessed with a beautiful heritage. The citizens of Tripura are fortunate to have the same and the future generations would be immensely benefitted as they get the opportunity to see and experience the same. It is quite relevant to mention that the Radcliffe Line was the boundary demarcation line between the Indian and Bangladeshi portions of the Bengal provinces of British India. It was named after Sir Cyril Radcliffe, who, was the joint chairman of the boundary commission for the two province. This demarcation line was published on 17 August 1947 upon the Partition of India. The Partition of India is one of the central events in the collective memory in India, Bangladesh and as well as for the people of Tripura. As a crucial determiner in the outcomes of the partition, the Radcliffe Line and award process had significantly reduced the total land area as governed by the then Princely Tripura State.

  • Women's Emancipation Through Education in 19Th
    Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh (Hum.), Vol. 60(1), 2015, pp. 35-59 WOMEN’S EMANCIPATION THROUGH EDUCATION IN 19TH CENTURY EASTERN BENGAL: PRIVATE ENTERPRISE OR GOVERNMENT AGENCY? Asha Islam Nayeem* Abstract One of the main themes of feminist research has been the exploration of the roots of the dichotomous relationship women have with the home and the outside world. To navigate between these two worlds, and to negotiate for space within the various forms of patriarchal control, the primary tool for women’s agency has been their access to formal education. With that conviction in mind, nineteenth century Bengal has to be revisited time and again to understand the dynamics of women’s emancipation and the beginnings of women’s agency. The indifference of the colonial government towards social progress and the determination of indigenous forces to achieve it appears as a recurring phenomenon. This paper is an addition to the narrative of the process of emancipation through the rise of formal educational institutions in the region we now call Bangladesh. It studies the contribution of the zamindars and local philanthropists who have made a difference in the lives of our foremothers and laid the foundations for further emancipation in the twentieth century. The paper concludes with a definitive reassurance about the power of private enterprise over government agency in bringing about social change for the better. Introduction Throughout history women were central to creating social wealth. But they ended up becoming marginalized through a process of systematic exclusion from the public space where the production of material resources and knowledge took place.

  • Vilayat Khan and the Emerging Sitar
    Networks of Music and History: Vilayat Khan and the Emerging Sitar Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hans Utter, MA Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee Margarita Mazo, Advisor Ron Emoff Danielle Fosler-Lussier Jack Richardson Copyright by Hans Frederick Utter 2011 Abstract My dissertation explores the sitar’s rise and significance in post- independence India (1947-2009), primarily through the Imdad Khan Gharana and Vilayat Khan. Pioneering sitarists such as Ravi Shankar and Ustad Vilayat Khan were vitally important in forging India’s cultural modern identity. By studying critically the role of individual creativity in the re-imagining of tradition, my dissertation investigates how contesting cultural heritages found expression in new artistic mediums that challenged and reached new audiences. In order to create a “non- linear” history of the sitar it is conceptualized as a “quasi-object” using the semiotic- material schema found in Latour’s Actor Network Theory (Latour 2008). Musical analysis is informed by a Deleuuzian approach for the perception of multiple “truths,” exploring performance as the interpenetration of the virtual and actual in assemblages. ii Dedication Dedicated to my family and Vivek iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Writing a dissertation is ultimately a collective endeavor.
