  • THE POLYMATH VERSUS TRADITION ISWAR CHANDRA VIDYASAGAR and HIS TRYST with HUMANISM** Anjashi Sarkar*

    THE POLYMATH VERSUS TRADITION ISWAR CHANDRA VIDYASAGAR and HIS TRYST with HUMANISM** Anjashi Sarkar*

    Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh (Hum.), Vol. 65(2), 2020, pp. 151-177 THE POLYMATH VERSUS TRADITION ISWAR CHANDRA VIDYASAGAR AND HIS TRYST WITH HUMANISM** Anjashi Sarkar* Abstract Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar as a philanthropist and humanist has evoked interest in various research fields and conversations across generations. When it comes to the pathos of the Indian society during the nineteenth century it is inclusive of the efforts undertaken to deal or fight the same. In this context, a polymath stands as a primary factor and an exemplary figure for the much-needed awakening of young and new generations. Vidyasagar not only as a humanist but also as a human being has been at the forefront of the renaissance we are acquainted with as far as the Bengal chapter in the nineteenth century is concerned. His academic and philosophical endeavours have gathered attention of scholars, officer- administrators, etc. time and again. His adventures and experiences may be evaluated in various ways; in one aspect as a coming of age game changer in the Indian society, and, in the other as a humanist who brought in shades of life in every undertaking he was associated with or displayed immense passion about. This paper is meant to highlight the exceptionality of Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar, based on primary and secondary sources, and how his endeavours have left an impression in the minds of potential radicals. Introduction Whenever we have come across thinkers and scholars from all eras, we tend to analyze what made them unforgettable personalities. In addition to this, we attach various events that shaped up their notions and understandings about the immediate environment.

    CHAPTER VI (Contd.) Section-II Review of Economic Activities and Financial Position of the State

    ( 283) CHAPTER VI (Contd.) Section-II Review of Economic Activities and Financial Position of the State The economy of the Princely State of Gooch Behar, some scholars held, was of a static semi-feudal nature, heavily dependent upon traditional agriculture in pre-British days. The minimum daily needs of the people could be met with the meagre resource available to them within the State.' But there was merely subsistence living and no economic prosperity and social mobility in the State. There was a lack of transport and communication and no foreign contact. Hence no trade and commerce could develop either within the State or with the outside world.' With the conclusion of a treaty between the Coach Behar State and the English East India Company in 1773 (which was in the latter's favour), this intercourse began to generate its impact on the traditional economic set up of this region and the consequent change followed the logic of history. The reign of Harendra Narayan (1783 -1839) had set the stage for change. The State of Coach Behar came into direct contact with the British administration. From then onwards the land tenure system and land revenue settlement began to be geared into motion and the traditional agrarian economy of the state started shaking off its age old slumber.3 Before the arrival of the English East India Company and at the initial period of their rule the economy of Bengal was mainly dependent on agriculture and artisan industry.' But British policy brought about a commercial revolution, estalished a new economy and bound India's economy to the heels of the British economy, the process of deindustrialisation commenced' and gradually India was converted into a centre for the supply of raw-materials for British industries and a market for the import of British manufactured articles.

  • Sir Gerard Clauson and His Skeleton Tangut Dictionary Imre Galambos

    Sir Gerard Clauson and His Skeleton Tangut Dictionary Imre Galambos

    Sir Gerard Clauson and his Skeleton Tangut Dictionary Imre Galambos Sir Gerard Leslie Makins Clauson (1891–1974) worked most of his life as a civil servant and conducted academic research in his spare time.1 Only after retiring in 1951 at the age of 60 was he able to devote his full attention to scholarly endeavours, which were primarily focussed on Turkish languages. Thus as a scholar, today he is primarily remembered for his contribution to Turkish studies, and his Etymological Dictionary of Pre-Thirteenth-Century Turkish is still an essential reference tool in the field.2 Yet in addition to his study of Turkish and Mongolian linguistics, he also worked on a number of other Asian languages, including Tangut. Even though his extensive list of publications includes a small number of items related to Tangut studies,3 he devoted an incredible amount of time and effort to studying the language and to compiling a dictionary. He never finished the dictionary but deposited a draft version along with his notes in seven large volumes at the Library of the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), so that they would be available to anyone who wished to study Tangut and perhaps continue his research. Eric Grinstead, who used the dictionary when working on the Tangut manuscripts at the British Museum, called it “a paragon of excellence” in comparison with high level of errors in dictionaries available at the time.4 Indeed, the erudition of Clauson’s dictionary is obvious even upon a cursory look at the manuscript version and had it ever been published, it would have undoubtedly made a major impact on scholarship.
