  • Bir Chilarai
    Bir Chilarai March 1, 2021 In news : Recently, the Prime Minister of India paid tribute to Bir Chilarai(Assam ‘Kite Prince’) on his 512th birth anniversary Bir Chilarai(Shukladhwaja) He was Nara Narayan’s commander-in-chief and got his name Chilarai because, as a general, he executed troop movements that were as fast as a chila (kite/Eagle) The great General of Assam, Chilarai contributed a lot in building the Koch Kingdom strong He was also the younger brother of Nara Narayan, the king of the Kamata Kingdom in the 16th century. He along with his elder brother Malla Dev who later known as Naya Narayan attained knowledge about warfare and they were skilled in this art very well during their childhood. With his bravery and heroism, he played a crucial role in expanding the great empire of his elder brother, Maharaja Nara Narayan. He was the third son of Maharaja Biswa Singha (1523–1554 A.D.) The reign of Maharaja Viswa Singha marked a glorious episode in the history of Assam as he was the founder ruler of the Koch royal dynasty, who established his kingdom in 1515 AD. He had many sons but only four of them were remarkable. With his Royal Patronage Sankardeva was able to establish the Ek Saran Naam Dharma in Assam and bring about his cultural renaissance. Chilaray is said to have never committed brutalities on unarmed common people, and even those kings who surrendered were treated with respect. He also adopted guerrilla warfare successfully, even before Shivaji, the Maharaja of Maratha Empire did.

Then the area consisted of large tracts of forests, rivers and hills. Various dynasties ruled over it. Taking the opportunity of the jealousy of the Raikot Royal family of Baikunthapur to the Kock Royal family of Cooch Behar the Bhutanese established their sovereignty over the Duars of Jalpaiguri. In this situation, Cooch Behar Raja Dharendra Narayan applied for aid to the British and thereby the British power came to the region and defeated the Bhutias in the battle of Sinchula, 1865, and therefore formed Jalpaiguri district in 1869. Since the formation of the district up to the time of independence of India in 1947 the territorial figure of it was almost unchanged. Only Patgram, Boda, Pachagar, Tentulia and Debiganj police station of the district were attached to the Rangpur and Dinajpur districts of East Pakistan that is present Bangladesh.

  • Introduction
    Introduction: The vast region to the northeast of India between the foothills of the eastern Himalaya Mountains ranges and extreme North of Bengal consisting the modern territories of Lower Assam (ten Districts), northern districts of present Bangladesh and Jalpaiguri and Koch Behar districts of west Bengal is the abode of the different ethnic groups of various cultures since the historic age. This region had seen the ebb and flow of many dynasties of many ethnic groups from the early times. The rise of some tribal chiefdom, like the Thai Ahom, the Meithei, Jayantiya, Kachari, Tripura, khen and the Koch, from 13'^ century in the region and their transition to state-system by the 16*^ century, marked the beginning of the historical development and religious- socio- economic-political transformation^ Among these, whose rules significantly occupied most important place in the history of northeast India is the Koch dynasty. J. N. Sarkar, in his book, 'History of Bengal', writes, "half-a-century before Sulaiman's accession, a new power had been bom in the extreme North of Bengal"^. No doubt, by the words "new power", he wanted to indicate the Koch power, who established a vast empire in the beginning of the 16'^ century. Hariya Mandal, a Mech / Koch tribal chief of mere 12 Mech / Koch families of the village Chikana, in the Khuntaghat region in the present Goalpara district of lower Assam had organised his tribes and established 'chiefdom'. His able son and successor Biswa Singha, in a chaotic political condition of incessant fighting with the local Bhuyans of the region transformed it into a 'semi- independent kingdom' in the beginning of the 16'^ century.

  • Class-7 New 2020.CDR
    Class - VII Brief Introduction to Formation of Landforms Assam, located in tropical latitudes (24N˚ to 28N)˚ and eastern longitude (895˚ ’ E - 961˚’ E), is the most populous state in the North-east India. It is surrounded on three sides by hills and mountains. The river Brahmaputra and Barak flows in the north and south respectively. Assam is diverse in physical features and the major physiographical components are the senile plateau of Karbi-Anglong, representing a part of peninsular India, North Cachar hills which display the most youthful and highly differentiated relief features and the Brahmaputra and Barak plains present aggradational surfaces. Landmasses from Archaean to Tertiary origin bear the evidences of the evolutionary history of the earth in Assam and North-East India. The Karbi plateau is a part of Old-Gondwana land of more than 600 million years, the folded hills of North-Cachar belongs to tertiary period and the alluviums are of Quaternary Period. The North-Eastern region of India including Assam is situated in the merging zone of two Tectonic plates, namely the Indo-Australian and Euro-Asian plates. So the entire region is seismically very active. Physiographical Divisions of Assam On the basis of physical setup, Assam can be divided into three physiographical units: 1) The Brahmaputra valley or Assam valley 2) The Barak plain or Surma Valley 3) The hilly areas of Karbi-Anglong and North- Cachar Hill Districts Fig1.1: Physiographic Divisions of Assam. 40 The Brahmaputra Valley The most prominent physical feature in Assam is the Brahmaputra valley. This plain is surrounded by Bhutan and the Arunachal Himalayas in the north, Patkai Bum and Arunachal Hills in the east and Naga Hills, Karbi Plateau in the south.

Abstract: Cooch Behar was one of the mighty kingdom in the political map of India. From the time immemorial Cooch Behar has been a part of Indian culture. The Cooch kingdom which was founded by Biswasingha in 1515 has become a district of West Bengal since 1st January 1950. The arrival of the Muslims in the Cooch Behar State took place in the beginning of the 13th century. The several Muslim invasions of the Mughal and Pathan rulers and the contribution of the Pirs and Fakirs had contributed in the spread of Islam in this region. A large section of indigenous Hindu population converted in Islam. The Muslims are very close with the Hindu population. Without the difference of religious faiths there are various similarities in occupants, culture and tradition between the Hindus and Muslims in Cooch Behar. The Muslims are the son of the soil Cooch Behar. They are significantly segmented in to certain social groups of varied background.

  • Summary and Conclusions Chapter- 6
    CHAPTER- 6 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS CHAPTER- 6 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS In India basic reform in Panchayati Raj Institutions through the 73rct constitutional amendment took place at the same time when economic reforms were undertaken as a matter of policy. After two decades, economic reforms are being continued steadily while there have not been much enthusiasm in strenthening Panchayati Raj Institutions. Although the part IX of the Constitution directs to "endow the panchayat with such power and authority as may be necessary to enable then1 to .function as institution of self government" (Article243G) almost all the States have failed to devolve three Fs: Functions, Functionaries and Finances. This disturbing development co-exists with an absence of panchayat level planning, particularly involving women the planning process. We presented the structure of different standing committees of PRis West Bengal under section 15 of Chapter 2. As it was clear there was no important women in the planning process. SHG Federation models like economic reforms represent a parallel development where involvement of women is much more prominent. As we observed under Chapter 3, from the time first SHGs emerged in 1985 to the inclusion of the SHG strategy annual plan for 2000-01 (Government of India, 2000), several important steps were taken by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and leading NGOs as well as by multilateral agencies, particularly IFAD. In our country the pioneer in this field is Self-Employed Women's Association (SEWA). Without the Grameen model SEWA was started in 1972. In Southern India organizations like PRADAN, MYRADA, ASSEEFA, MALAR etc.

  • Archaeology Sectio (1-6).Pmd
    1 1 Description of Megalithic Culture in Kashmir: Some Observation *Dr. Tirtharaj Bhoi Introduction: This paper takes up a study of the megalithic practices in Kashmir region. Archaeology in recent times has become a generic term that appears in different fields of enquiry ranging from the social sciences to humanities to physical sciences like geomorphology. The first archaeological research on Neolithic-megalithic has been taken up in 1935 by H. de. Terra and Paterson in this region. In this paper, the author analyzes the observation of two megalithic sites from Kashmir. The observation from Kashmir is based on the report from ASI and field observation by the author. The term “Megalith” was originally introduced by antiquarians to describe a fairly easily definable class of monuments in Europe, consisting of huge undressed stone and termed as Celtic dolmens, cromlechs and Menhiris. Indian megaliths’ burials and monuments generally belong to the Iron Age and are largely sepulchral in character. However, the sepulchral aspect of this tradition was not a new feature of the Iron Age. One can find the burial practices in Mesolithic and Neolithic period as well. The term “megalith” derived from the Greek words “meghas” meaning “large” and “lithos” meaning “stone”.1 In the earlier stages of research, the term ‘megalith” was used to refer to large stone monuments.
