The General Secretary reported the presentation of 7 silver coins from the Government of United Provinces of Agra and Oudh, found in Jaunpur, Kheri and Fateligarh Districts. The following papers were read : 1. On the Antiquity and traditions of Shahzadpur.—By Maulavi Abdul Wall (Abstract.) The author brings together all that is known of the traditions and ancient remains of Shahzadpur, in the Sirajganj subdivision of the Pubna district, and thence attempts to reacli the underlying substratum of fact. Shahzadpur has a small brick mosque of ancient construction with 28 black basalt columns and door jambs of the same probably taken from some Hindu temple. South of the mosque are more than twenty tombs including the shrines of Makhdum Sahib, the martyr, of Khwajah Kalan Danishmand, his nephew, and of the darvish Shah Yusuf. There are also two large burying places of martyrs. A fair is held annually near the mosque in April and May. Bokhara pigeons are found round the mosque and in the neighbouring villages. The tradition is that Makhdum Shah was the son of a king of Yaman in Arabia. With a large following, including his sister, tliree nephews, and twelve darvishes, he set out on a religious expedition for the spread of Islam. At Bokhara they were given a few khaki coloured pigeons. At length they arrived in ships at Bengal which was then mostly under water. The pigeons discovered land near Shahzadpur and Makhdum Shah and his followers took possession of it. In the conflict which followed between them and the Hindu rajah of the country most of the Moslems were martyred. Supernatural signs led the rajah to repent. He accordingly buried the martyrs with due solemnity and built the mosque. The author points out that the king of Yaman whom the tradition calls the father of Makhdum Shah was a contemporary of the Prophet. His descendants may have emigrated to Trans-Oxcania or Bokhara. Makhdum Sahib, a member of the family, may have been contemporary with Nizamu-d-din Auliya, may have come to Bengal about the time of its conquest by Muhammad-i-Bakht-Yar, and may have fought and died as the tradition says. As his ancestor was a Shahzada, the place of his death received the name of Shahzadpur. 1904.] ' Facers. 3 2. The method of preparijig Calendars and fixing festival dates hy the Hindus. — By Gerindranath Dutt, Superintendent, Raj Hativd. ( Abstract.) This note lias been prepared in response to a circular letter from Jkfr. E. A. Gait, Superintendent of Ethnography in Bengal, asking for information regarding the rules by which astrologers of all classes pre- pare calendars and fix the dates of festivals. The author explains the well-known differences between Siddhantas and Karanas, between the ptirnimanta system of JSTorthern India and the amanta system of South- ern India, and between the luni-solar year by which religious festivals are calculated and the solar year which is the Bengali civil year. He gives formulae according to the Karanas or practical works in use. He defines the principal Hindu festivals as reckoned by the lunar months. He contends that in the early Vedic age the new year was calculated from the sun's entering the Pleiades, and that the vernal equinox was at the Pleiades about B.C. 2500. 3. Further notes on the Bhojpurl dialects spoken in Saran and o?i the origin of Kaythi characters.—By Gerindranath Dutt, Superintendent, Raj Hatwa, (Abstract.) The author considers that the present Bojpuri dialect is an ad- mixture of the Kanaujiya dialect and the Magadhi dialect, the latter being the predominant element. He contrasts the Gandak and the Gogra valleys physically and linguistically. The Gogra valley is fertile and busy ; men speak quickly and their words get clipped and short- ened. The Gandak valley is sandy, unhealthy and backward. The population is dull and stagnant, and dialectical changes are fewer and slower. The author would derive the Kaythi character mainly from Asoka's Pali character, so that in modern Kaythi we have in a veiled form the most ancient characters of India. 4. The Khurda copper plate grant of Madhava, king of Kalinga. By Ganga Mohan Laskar, M.A., Government Research Scholar. Goinmuni- cated by Mahamahopadhyaya Haraprasad Shastri. (Abstract.) This set of three copper plates comes from Khurda in Orissa and forms the second record ever discovered of king Madhava and of the S'ailodhhava dynasty from which he is sprung ; the only other known record of this dynasty is a copper plate charter of the same king — 4 Papers. [An., 1904.] Madhava, found in the Baguda village of the Goorasur taluk in the Ganjam district. Dr. Keilhorn gives an account of the Baguda plate ill the Epigraphia India, Vol. III., p. 40. The new record consists of three plates strung together by a ring, the ends of which are secured in a seal. The seal contains in relief the figure of a bull and the words, " Sre Sainyabhetasya" {i.e., of the glo- rious Sainyabheta.) All the plates are inscribed, the middle one on sides. The engraving is deep and legible. The character of writing indicates that these plates cannot be later than the latter half of the seventh century. The plates enable us to revise the genealogy of the dynasty wliich stands thus : 1. Sailodbhara, the founder. 2. Rarabhita, descended from 1. 3. Sainyabhita I, son of 2. 4. Yasobhita I, descended from 3. 5. Saiuyabhita II, son of 4. 6. Yasobhita II, son of 5. 7. Madhavaraya, Madhavendra, or Madbava Varman, son of 6. — PROCEEDINGS OP THE ASIATIC SOCIETY OF BENGAL For February, 1904.

  • 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.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Putterlickia neglecta, a new species here described and illustrated, is known from South Africa (Mpumalanga and north- eastern KwaZulu-Natal), Swaziland and southern Mozambique. It is considered a near-endemic to the Maputaland Centre of Endemism. Plants grow as a shrub or small tree in savanna and thicket, or in the understory of inland, coastal and dune forests. Vegetatively it superficially resembles P. verrucosa, the species with which it has hitherto most often been confused. Both species have stems with prominently raised lenticels, but P. neglecta differs from P. verrucosa in having sessile to subsessile leaves with mostly entire, revolute leaf margins, flowers borne on pedicels 8–15 mm long, with petals up to 6 mm long and spreading or slightly recurved. Putterlickia verrucosa has leaves with distinct petioles, spinulose-denticulate mar- gins, much smaller flowers borne on pedicels up to 4 mm long, with petals up to 2 mm long and erect or slightly spreading.

Dependency theory is ‘a set of theories’ which asserts that the inability of the third world countries to achieve sustainable levels of development was due to their structural ‘dependence on the advanced capitalist world’ (A Dictionary of Sociology [Oxford: OUP, 1998], 150-51). These theories were advanced in opposition to modernization theory which anticipated that less developed countries would ultimately catch up with the developed world if they followed a pattern of development similar to that of the developed world.
