  • Rabindranath Tagore's Model of Rural Reconstruction: a Review
    [ VOLUME 5 I ISSUE 4 I OCT.– DEC. 2018] E ISSN 2348 –1269, PRINT ISSN 2349-5138 Rabindranath Tagore’s Model of Rural Reconstruction: A review Dr. Madhumita Chattopadhyay Assistant Professor in English, B.Ed. Department, Gobardanga Hindu College (affiliated to West Bengal State University), P.O. Khantura, Dist- 24 Parganas North, West Bengal, PIN – 743273. Received: July 07, 2018 Accepted: August 17, 2018 ABSTRACT Rabindranath Tagore’s unique venture on rural reconstruction at Silaidaha-Patisar and at Sriniketan was a pioneering work carried out by him with the motto of the wholesome development of the community life of village people through education, training, healthcare, sanitation, modern and scientific agricultural production, revival of traditional arts and crafts and organizing fairs and festivities in daily life. He believed that through self-help, self-initiation and self-reliance, village people will be able to help each other in their cooperative living and become able to prepare the ground work for building the nation as an independent country in the true sense. His model of rural reconstruction is the torch-bearer of so many projects in independent India. His principles associated with this programme are still relevant in the present day world, but is not out of criticism. The need is to make critical analysis and throw new lights on this esteemed model so that new programmes can be undertaken based on this to achieve ‘life in its completeness’ among rural population in India. Keywords: Rural reconstruction, cooperative effort, community development. Introduction Rathindranath Tagore once said, his father was “a poet who was an indefatigable man of action” and “his greatest poem is the life he has lived”.

Jha1 and Subhasis Ghosh2 1Professor of Geography, Former Vice-Chancellor, TMBU, Former Director NATMO, DST, Government of India, Visva-Bharati University, Santiniketan, West Bengal, 2Research Scholar, Department of Geography, Visva-Bharati University, Santiniketan, West Bengal, (Corresponding author's e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract A proper geomorphic study of a region can be useful in understanding past and present environmental circumstances and analyzing potential environmental risks. Careful analysis of morphodynamic processes and existing diagnostic landforms reveal several aspects about the origin, characteristics and possible pattern of morpho-climatic interactions on the landscape over temporal scale, which helps significantly in proper terrain evaluation from societal welfare and integrated management point of view, including environmental risk assessment and disaster management. This paper has made a thorough geomorphic investigation based on intensive fieldwork and multi-sourced remote sensing data to characterize the lateritic soil profile and landforms of the study area in respect to their morphology and Physico-chemical properties at the different sites of land degradation to understand the outcome of morphoclimatic interactions on the landscape over time, and to evaluate the severity of operation with pedo-geomorphic constraints in the lateritic environment for sustainable management purposes. It is found that the region is highly sensitive to weathering, mass movement and denudational activities, mainly caused by rainwater erosion which has resulted into varied landforms including well-developed rills and gullies, lateritic ridges, isolated residual hills etc and generated a unique identity to this part of the lateritic region.

  • Terracotta Temples of Birbhum: an Ethno-Archaeological Prospect
    Terracotta Temples of Birbhum: An Ethno‐archaeological Prospect Arunima Sinha1 1. Department of Ancient Indian History, Culture and Archaeology, Deccan College Post Graduate and Research Institute, Deemed to be University, Pune – 411 006, Maharashtra, India (Email: [email protected]) Received: 16 August 2017; Revised: 20 September 2017; Accepted: 26 October 2017 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 5 (2017): 676‐697 Abstract: The terracotta temples of Birbhum are one of the unparalleled cultural heritages of the country. Present paper speaks about the aesthetic values of these monuments. In addition, present work has tried to bridge a temporal gap between past and present social cognition as reflected in the making of these monuments of Birbhum. The paper shows past life‐ways carried remarkable influence and inspiration to the artists and architects of studied monuments. Ethno‐archaeological parallels can be witnessed in modern day rural Birbhum as discussed in present paper. Keywords: Art, Architecture, Cultural Heritage, Analogy, Ethno‐archaeology, Terracotta Temple, Birbhum Introduction The art of terracotta dates back to the Indus Valley civilisation. It was about 3,000 years before the birth of Christ when Indians mastered the magic of this craft. Astonishingly, yet, it is only in Bengal and a few places in Jharkhand that this craft was used to decorate temples, mosques and other places of worship. In Bengal, artisans opted for terracotta tiles or plaques mainly due to the non‐availability of stone and for its easy usage. Bengal province (modern Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal) saw a remarkable surge in patronage and experimentation in art and architecture in the form of terracotta brick temple, from the mid‐17th to the mid‐19th century.
