  • CENTER for UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN by Afreen Ahmed Rochana 12308003 ARC 512 SEMINAR II
    SHAYAMBHAR: CENTER FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN By Afreen Ahmed Rochana 12308003 ARC 512 SEMINAR II Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Bachelor of Architecture Department of Architecture BRAC University Abstract: The word ―Underprivileged‖ refers to a group of people deprived through social and economic condition of some of the fundamental rights of all members of a civilized society. Our society can see many people who are totally deprived of most their basic rights due to poverty. If we think of the underprivileged children, they drop off their school only to run their families, whereas the other children of the same society who are well off are blessed to continue their education. Those underprivileged children have no other choice than leaving the school and work for the family to earn some money. Most of them want to continue their education but are helpless. Being children of a society where others can get the light of education, they do not deserve to be deprived of this basic need. My project ―Shayambhar‖ intends to give these underprivileged children the platform where they can receive education and at the same time help their families by doing some productive works. It is hoped that in future the children will be educated and at the same time they will become self-dependent. I believe that there will be a time when these children will be referred as an asset for the nation rather than a burden of society if they are given proper opportunities.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This thesis studies the development and social character of Indian nationalism in the Midnapur district of Bengal* It begins by showing the Government of Bengal in 1907 in a deepening political crisis. The structural imbalances caused by the policy of active intervention in the localities could not be offset by the ’paternalistic* and personalised district administration. In Midnapur, the situation was compounded by the inability of government to secure its traditional political base based on zamindars. Real power in the countryside lay in the hands of petty landlords and intermediaries who consolidated their hold in the economic environment of growing commercialisation in agriculture. This was reinforced by a caste movement of the Mahishyas which injected the district with its own version of 'peasant-pride'.

What was once a united state of Bengal is now divided into two parts, the sovereign country of Bangladesh and the state of West Bengal in India. The predominant religion in Bangladesh is Islam and that of West Bengal is Hinduism. Throughout history, ideas and identifications of certain elements of culture as ‘tradition’ have played an important role in the construction of notions of identity in this region, where multiple cultures continue to meet.

Faculty of Visual Arts Rabindra Bharati, Kolkata Abstract The earliest European nation that settled in Bengal was the Portuguese in 1518 C.E. During 1538 C.E. the Portuguese build their factories and settlements at Saptagram, Chittagong and finally Hooghly. From 1615C.E. onwards, the Dutch East India Company started trading activities in lower part of Bengal. The British, the French, the Danes, the Flemish and other formed their settlements in Bengal later. Social exchange between the European powers and local people continued from the beginning mainly for trading. Finally after the British became administrative head of the country; their influence became widespread in all aspects of the life of local indigenous people especially artistic activities, and costumes. Representation of Europeans in different forms of local Art largely found during this period. The impact of these foreign cultures is found in different forms of contemporary indigenous Art like Pata-paintings, wood-carvings, metal engravings, temple terracotta plaques, Provincial Mughal school of paintings, Company painting (drawn by Indian artist), Bat- tala print, Kantha (Stitched Quilts), dolls, toys metal engravings on ‘Ratha’, Book Illustration and other.

  • Mapping a Liminal: Nurturing of Kantha Into Contemporary Art
    MAPPING A LIMINAL: NURTURING OF KANTHA INTO CONTEMPORARY ART. Natasha Narain Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) Kala Bhawan, Viswa Bharati University, India. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology, Australia. 2017 3 Keywords • Automatic drawing, catharsis, connection, conflict, complex and hybrid identity, goddesses, interdisciplinary, kantha, material culture, memory, making a place, painting, portability, reconfigure, reflexive, reparation, restitution, sacred, South Asia, touch, transnational feminism, transcultural, tradition, textile, transformation. 4 Abstract Kantha emerged as an embroidery and textile-based personal storytelling craft, anchored in women's experiences in undivided Bengal. Historical events and the increased complexities of a globalised world have altered the nature of kantha. This research examines different approaches that revitalise this tradition in contemporary practice. My project set out to discover how the conceptual and formal strategy of kantha could be reinterpreted through contemporary art in a way that acknowledges history and the trauma and loss involved. It does this through creative practice where kantha techniques are applied to different media and presented as a contemporary art installation, to reveal how a polyphonous reconnection with the past may be possible. This creative research is then contextualised within the practices of a number of contemporary artists who have integrated local and/or culturally specific motifs, metaphors, media and techniques into their art practices as a way to consider broader humanitarian issues and themes of cultural and environmental loss as seen through the lens of personal experience. What I discovered is that rather than simply providing a replication of kantha, this approach offers a self-reflexive solution that permits hybridised cultural complexity and a portable method of making place.

    RESEARCH ARTICLE Agriculture and the “Literati” in Colonial Bengal, 1870 to 1940 Arnab Roy* Abstract: This paper attempts to understand the engagement of the “literati” in Bengal with issues relating to agriculture in colonial Bengal between 1870 and 1940. The outbreak of the Pabna Tax Revolt in 1873 led to a debate within intellectual circles on the crippling exactions levied on the peasantry by zamindars. They identified this as the primary reason for Bengal’s agrarian backwardness. From the 1880s, however, the debate underwent a change, with a section of the intelligentsia shifting it away from the issue of landlordism as a bottleneck to rural development. This group argued for agricultural modernisation as the way ahead for the agrarian sector. In this new “productionist” discourse, the vanguard role of introducing new technologies into agriculture was to be played by forward-looking sections of the wealthy and educated urban middle class, who were called upon to take to cooperative farming for the purpose. The advocates of such productionism believed that such progress could be achieved within the framework of existing production relations, dominated by the zamindars of rural Bengal. From the middle of the 1930s, another distinct viewpoint on agrarian relations emerged as part of the Kisan Sabha-led peasant movement. Formed in 1936, the Kisan Sabha took up popular demands that included land reform and abolition of the zamindari system. It sought to improve the material conditions of the peasantry. However, its views on agriculture did not include a demand for the modernisation of agriculture through the application of new and scientific techniques and practices.

  • Disguises of Shiva Nationalism and Folk Culture in the Bengal
    Disguises of Shiva Nationalism and Folk Culture in the Bengal Borderland since 1905 By Aniket De Department of History Tufts University An Honors Thesis submitted to the Department of History Of Tufts University in partial fulfilment of the requirements For the degree of Bachelor of Arts Examined by Ayesha Jalal, Mary Richardson Professor of History, Chair Kris K. Manjapra, Associate Professor of History Sarah Pinto, Associate Professor of Anthropology Defended on April 26, 2016 2 Abstract This thesis studies the history of a folk theatre form called Gambhira, performed in what is today the northern part of the Indo-Bangladesh border, principally in the districts of Malda and Chapai Nawabganj. On the Indian side, it is performed around the figure of the Hindu god Shiva; people address their complaints and grievances by ridiculing and grumbling to the god. Across the border in Muslim-majority Bangladesh, Shiva has been replaced by a Muslim farmer, the genre of grumbling remaining the same. Lying at the interface of cultural and intellectual history and ethnography and drawing on archival and ethnographic work conducted in India, Bangladesh and England, this thesis traces how various changes in this local, small-scale performance form have occurred in dialogue with broader, structural events of modern South Asian history since 1905, like anti-colonial nationalism, the Partition of India, and the making of postcolonial nation-states. The history of Gambhira acts as a lens to reveal how the idea and practice of the “folk” has remained, throughout the twentieth century, a site of mediation between metropolitan political ideologies and local cultural worlds.
