A revised version of the calendar is the national and official calendar in Bangladesh and follows an earlier version of the calendar in the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura and Assam. The New Year in the Bengali calendar is known as Pohela Boishakh. The Bengali era is called Bengali Sambat (BS)[1] or the Bengali year (¬¬3/4à¬'à¬3/4 ࢠ¬¬3/4à¬'à¬3/4€ 3/4ଲBangla salt, or Bangabda)[2] has a zero year starting at 593/594 CE. It is 594 less than the D.C. or CE year in the Gregorian calendar if it is before PÃ'hela BÃ'ishakh, or 593 less if after PÃ'hela BÃ'ishakh. The revised version of the Bengali calendar was officially adopted in Bangladesh in 1987. [3] Among the Bengali community in India, the traditional Bengali Hindu calendar remains in use, and establishes Hindu festivals. [5] Part of a series about Bengalis Social Group: Religious Community: Jargon: Language Literature Film Wedding Festivals 1History 2Organization 3Traditional and revised versions 5References According to Shamsuzzaman Khan,[6] and Nitish Sengupta, the origin of the Bengali calendar is unclear. [2] Some historians attribute the Bengali calendar to the 7th-century Hindu king Shashanka. [6] The term Bangabda (Bangladesh year) is also found in two Shiite temples many centuries older than the Akbar era, suggesting that there was a Bengali calendar long before the time of Akbar. [2] Hindus developed a calendar system in antiquity. [7] Jyotisha, one of the six ancient Vedangas,[8][9] was the field of the Vedic era of monitoring and predicting the movements of astronomical bodies in order to keep up time. [10] Ancient Indian culture developed a sophisticated time- keeping methodology and calendars for vedic rituals. [7] The Hindu Vikrami calendar is named after King Vikramaditya and begins in 57 BC. [11] In rural Bengali communities in India, the Bengali calendar is attributed to 'Bikromaditto', like many other parts of India and Nepal. However, unlike in these regions where 57 BC begins, the Bengali calendar begins from 593, suggesting that the initial reference year was adjusted at some point. [12] Several dynasties whose territories extended to Bengal before the 13th century used the Vikrami calendar. For example, Buddhist texts and inscriptions created in the era of the Pala Empire name 'Vikrama' and the months as Ashvin, a system found in Sanskrit texts elsewhere in the ancient and medieval Indian subcontinent. [14] Hindu scholars attempted to keep time by observing and calculating the cycles of the sun (Surya), the moon and the planets. These calculations on the sun appear in several Sanskrit astronomical texts, such as the 5th-century Aryabhatiya by Aryabhata, the 6th-century Romaka by Latadeva and Panca Siddhantika of Varahamihira, the 7th-century Khandakhadyaka by Brahmagupta and the 8th century Sisyadhivrddida by Lalla. [16] These texts present Surya and several planets and estimate the characteristics of their respective planetary movement. [16] Other texts such as Surya Siddhanta date from sometime between the 5th and 10th centuries. It retains the Sanskrit historical names of the months, with the first month as Baishakh. [3] Its calendar remains tied to the Hindu calendar system and is used to establish the various Bengali Hindu festivals. [3] Another theory is that the calendar was first developed by Alauddin Husain Shah (reign 1494â€1519), sultan Hussain Shahi of Bengal by combining the Lunar Islamic Calendar (Hijri) with the solar calendar, predominantly in Bengal. [2] Another theory states that the Sasanka calendar was adopted by Alauddin Husain Shah when he witnessed the difficulty with raising land revenue for the Hijra calendar. [2] During Mughal rule, land taxes were collected from the Bengali people in accordance with the Hijri Islamic calendar. This calendar was a lunar calendar, and its new year did not coincide with solar agricultural cycles. According to some sources, the current Bengali calendar owes its origin in Bengal to the government of the Mughal emperor Akbar, who adopted it in time for the fiscal year to harvest.

    In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.

  • Northwestern University “Mise En Vie” and Intra-Culturalism: Performing
    Northwestern University “Mise en vie ” and Intra-culturalism: Performing the Life of Black Migrants to Italy A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN THE PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS For the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Performance Studies By Raffaele Furno Evanston, Illinois December 2008 2 ABSTRACT “Mise en vie ” and Intra-culturalism: Performing the Life of Black Migrants to Italy Raffaele Furno The dissertation aims to explore the intersection between the artistic performance of blackness in contemporary Italian theater and the country’s social stigmatization of black immigrants as a problem or national emergency. I argue that Italians live in a state of “historic forgetfulness” since they have not been able to absorb the racist discourse strongly implemented during the fascist regime. Tracing “historic forgetfulness” as an implicit ideology within contemporary restrictive immigration laws, and in the mass media focus on the illegal aspects of the migratory phenomenon, I use performance as a methodology and category to analyze the world and individuate viable alternatives to Italy’s (un)welcoming reaction to African immigrants. Through archival research, interviews and participant observation, I follow the work of the Afro-Romagnole ensemble Teatro delle Albe. The Albe perceives theater as a tool to show the richness and endless possibilities contained in religious, linguistic, and cultural differences. The group’s productions raise doubts on any dichotomous separation between right and wrong, legal and illegal, white and black. Working on the specificity of each individual, the Albe brings ethnic background to what it should be: one element of the far more complicated personal identity that encompass gender, sexuality, education, personal experiences, emotions, aspirations, and more.

  • VI Indian Mathematics
    VI Indian Mathematics A large and ancient civilization grew in the Indus River Valley in Pakistan beginning at least by 7,000 B.C.E. One of the older and larger sites is at Mehrgarh. The remains of this site are on the Kachi Plain near the Bolan pass in Baluchistan, Pakistan. The earliest people inhabiting Mehrgarh were semi-nomadic, farmed wheat, barley and kept sheep, goats and cattle. There was no use of pottery in the early era, from 7,000 to 5500 B.C.E. The structures were simple mud buildings with four rooms. The burials of males included more material goods in this time. From 5500 to 3500 B.C.E. there was use of pottery and more elaborate female burials. Stone and copper drills were used to create beads, and the remains of two men have dental holes drilled in their teeth. Mehrgarh was abandoned between 2600 and 2000 B.C.E., when the Harrappan civilization grew nearer to the Indus River. From 2300 to 1750 B.C.E. there was an advanced and large civilization in the Indus and Ghaggar-Hakra River Valleys in Pakistan. The Ghaggar-Hakra River system is largely dried up, now. Many sites have been excavated over a large area stretching from the foothills of the Himalayas to the Arabian sea. The most famous cities are Mohenjo-Daro and Harrappa. These were both planned cities which were larger than any cities of the time in Mesopotamia or Egypt. We have thousands of stone and pottery objects with the as yet undeciphered script of these people on them.

  • 3.6 Planetary Theories in Sanskrit Astronomical Texts
    3.6 PLANETARY THEORIES IN SANSKRIT ASTRONOMICAL TEXTS S.N. Sen The Asiatic Society,1 Park Street, Calcutta India. The origin and development of planetary theories in India are still imperfectly understood. It is generally believed that fullfledged planetary theories capable of predicting the true positions of the Sun, Moon and Star-planets appeared in India along with the emergence of the siddhantic astronomical literature. Before this siddhantic astronomy there had existed the Vedahga Jyotisa of Lagadha, prepared around circa 400 B.C. in the Sutra period more or less on the basis of astronomical elements developed in the time of the Samhitas and the Brahmanas. This Jyotisa propounded a luni-solar calendar based on a five-year period or yuga in which the Sun made 5 complete revolutions. Moreover, this quinquennial cycle contained 67 sidereal and 62 synodic revolutions of the Moon, 1830 savana or civil days, 1835 sidereal days, 1800 solar days and i860 lunar days. An important feature of the Jyotisa is its concept of the lunar day or tithi which is a thirtieth part of the synodic month. The tithi concept was also used in Babylonian astro­ nomy of the Seleucid period. To trace the motion of the Sun and the Moon and to locate the positions of fullmoons and newmoons in the sky a stellar zodiac or a naksatra system coming down from the times of the Samhitas and the Brahmanas was used. The Jyotisa was acquainted with the solstices and equinoxes, the variation in day-length of which a correct ratio was given. It is, however, silent about the inclination of the ecliptic, the non-uniform and irregular motion of the Sun and the Moon and various other important elements.

    October, 2016 Vol. No. 195 Ahimsa Times in World Over + 100000 The Only Jain E-Magazine Community Service for 14 Continuous Years Readership DIWA LI AND JAINISM Diwali has a very special significance in Jainism. It marks the anniversary of Nirvana of Mahavira's soul, the twenty fourth Jain Tirthankara of present cosmic age. It is celebrated at the same time as the Hindu festival of Diwali. Diwali marks the New Year for the Jain group and it likewise remembers the passing commemoration of their 24th Tirthankara Mahavira and his achievement of moksha.
