In Odisha also, the drought-like situation looms large. The Government has already announced a farm package of Rs.1000 crore on October 14th. The Government is well prepared. It was assuring to hear the message for farmers by the Hon¶ble Chief Minister that ³together we have faced many calamities in the past. The farmers of the drought-affected areas need not worry about loan. The State Government is making all out efforts to mitigate the sufferings of our farmers and protect their interest´. As I write my editorial, Shri Nitish Kumar has joined the hatrick league. However, the discourse happening and interactions being made has baffled me a lot. We in India have a rich legacy of tolerance and peacefulness. Amidst a huge spectacle of festivity, the people of Odisha are about to celebrate the Deepavali and Kali Puja which is preceded by Laxmi Puja on the full moon day after Durga Puja. In the meanwhile, the people of Bhubaneswar in Odisha are making all out efforts for this Smart City tag. In a boost to enhance tourism and specially Buddhist tourism, at the initiation of the State Government Air India has started operation between Varanasi and Bhubaneswar. It is a matter of pride that Hon¶ble Prime Minister has appreciated Odisha for being one of the top States in the ease of doing business during his address at an Economic Conclave. In the month of Karttik (October-November) people in Odisha have religious priorities spread across the month. As the month ends in the Karttik Purnima during the hallowed hours before dawn, the people of Odisha wake up to perform their ritual in the holy waters. They then float tiny boats of coloured papers, banana barks or cork with lights placed on them. They also invoke the blessings of their ancestor in return for the austerity observed. The blowing of the conch shells and ululation of the women folk makes us feel the presence of the Lords and our ancestors amongst us. This moment arrives every year on a full moon day in the month of Karttik. The symbolic festival of floating tiny boats recalls the ancient period of maritime glory of Kalinga which continued from 3rd Century B.C till 18th Century A.D. Reports of historians and visitors like Fahien and Hiuen Tsang bear eloquent testimony to wealth and prosperity of Kalinga during that time. Kali Das in ³Raghuvamsam´ rightly refers to kings of Kalinga as the king of seas (Mahodadhipati). After a long time under the leadership of our present Chief Minister we are again regaining back our glory. In every field we have proved our mettle and made India proud. The agenda of our Government is to maintain transparency and fight against corruption so that we are able to have inclusive growth. The persona of our Chief Minister, his simplicity, honesty remains our driving force. Editor, Odisha Review Odisha Review November - 2015 The Greatness of Purusottam Kshetra Bhagaban Mahapatra The greatness of Purusottam Kshetra is narrated Being affected with the task of creation and in Skanda Purana (Vaishnav Khanda) which is wondered about the means by which the human the largest of all Puranas.

Traditional Media. Rural Development ABSTRACT Tradition is the cumulative heritage of society which permeates through all levels of social organization, social structure and the structure of personality. The tradition which is the cumulative social heritage in the form of habit, custom, attitude and the way of life is transmitted from generation to generation either through written words or words of mouth. It was planned to focus the study on stakeholders of rural development and folk media persons, so that their experience, difficulties, suggestion etc. could be collected to make the study realistic and feasible. The study was conducted in the state of Orissa comprising 30 districts out of which 3 coastal districts, namely, Cuttack, Puri and Balasore were selected according to the specific folk media culture namely, ‘Jatra’, ‘Pattachitra’ , ‘Pala’, ‘Daskathjia’ for their cultural aspects and uses. The study reveals that majority of the respondents felt that folk media is used quite significantly in rural development for its cultural aspect but in the era of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), it is losing its significance. The study supports the idea that folk media can be used effectively along with the electronic media for the sake of the development of rural society INTRODUCTION their willing participation in the development of a country is well recognized form of reaching The complex social system with different people, communicating with them and equipp- castes, classes, creeds and tribes in our country ing them with new skills.

    The Imperial and the Colonized Women's Viewing of the 'Other'

    Gazing across the Divide in the Days of the Raj: The Imperial and the Colonized Women’s Viewing of the ‘Other’ Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg Vorgelegt von Sukla Chatterjee Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Hans Harder Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Benjamin Zachariah Heidelberg, 01.04.2016 Abstract This project investigates the crucial moment of social transformation of the colonized Bengali society in the nineteenth century, when Bengali women and their bodies were being used as the site of interaction for colonial, social, political, and cultural forces, subsequently giving birth to the ‘new woman.’ What did the ‘new woman’ think about themselves, their colonial counterparts, and where did they see themselves in the newly reordered Bengali society, are some of the crucial questions this thesis answers. Both colonial and colonized women have been secondary stakeholders of colonialism and due to the power asymmetry, colonial woman have found themselves in a relatively advantageous position to form perspectives and generate voluminous discourse on the colonized women. The research uses that as the point of departure and tries to shed light on the other side of the divide, where Bengali women use the residual freedom and colonial reforms to hone their gaze and form their perspectives on their western counterparts. Each chapter of the thesis deals with a particular aspect of the colonized women’s literary representation of the ‘other’. The first chapter on Krishnabhabini Das’ travelogue, A Bengali Woman in England (1885), makes a comparative ethnographic analysis of Bengal and England, to provide the recipe for a utopian society, which Bengal should strive to become.
