  • Acharya Brajendra Nath Seal : His Intellectual Insight and Ideas of Universal Humanism I
    Acharya Brajendra Nath Seal : His Intellectual Insight and Ideas of Universal Humanism I. Sarkar Abstract: The present paper is intended to highlight Achrya Brajendranath Seal and his philosophy of life with reference to his intellectual insight and ideas of universal humanism. Fact remains that Acharya Seal was a man of great mind and he not only came in touch with various branches of knowledge but also tried to analyze human mind as well as the universe as a whole. He wrote a few books and good number of articles and whatever may be the theme of his works, he proved his worth and was really a typical representative of an Indian mother. At a moment whenever we are concerned with intellectual crises and moral degradation all around, the thoughts of A.B.N. Seal may open a new dimension as to the mental relief we may seek for at this moment. He developed his ‘Jivan Darshan’ which propounded ‘Manavsamghati’ (Unity of Mankind), and above all professed humanism and spirituality from his scientific insight. A.B.N.Seal was attracted to the philosophical ideas of Raja Rammohun Roy, Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, Rabindrnath Tagore, Keshav Chandra Sen and so on. At the long last he talked about ‘Universal Religion’ and the qualities of a Universal Man. For such a scientific temper he has rightly been called the ‘Child of Bengal Renaissance’ and this is justified when he stood not only for human solidarity but also could declare “I am a man (hence) nothing human is alien to me. I lived in the spirit of these sayings.” The entire paper is based on some original documents and contemporary writings available to us related to this man and very likely, it may strike the mind of some people who are not supposed to be alien to the ideas of spiritualism and humanity.

  • Sabha- Samiti) in the Field of Socio-Cultural Development of North Bengal Upto 1969
    CHAPTER - 6 CONTRIBUTION OF THE REGIONAL ASSOCIATIONS (SABHA- SAMITI) IN THE FIELD OF SOCIO-CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF NORTH BENGAL UPTO 1969 6.1. INTRODUCTION In the previous chapter we have clearly explained about the contribution of the Regional vernacular press and the Associations in the freedom movement within the framework of our study. More specifically it can be said that in chapter 5 we have tried to give some highlights on the role of the Associations in the course of freedom movement in this region (North Bengal). Within the course of this study we found some very clear and categorical evidences, which have already been focused, in our discussion. It is evident that the local or the Regional Associations of North Bengal were closely related with the process of Socio-cultural development of North Bengal. In our study about Press and Associations we have found that the rural press most of which were vernacular constitutes one of the most important print media for reaching out to the hundred of million people in all parts of our country. Similarly we get a link between the Press and the Associations sometimes which becomes a component to each other in imparting certain programme or interaction. In the context of this study we can say, during the last few decades it is found that several Associations or Organizations from global position to National, Regional, even in sub-Regional levels have been playing special attention towards different type of problems, prospects and development in all respect.' In the regional level particularly in Bengal we see that during the Nineteenth century a good number of Associations in different field emerged and achieved a lot for the cause of socio-cultural and political developments.

  • World Anthology for the Protocol for World Peace
    WORLD BIBLIOGRAPHIC INDEX: ALPHABETICAL (I) AND IN ORDER OF ACCESS (II) The collection of texts, from which the materials for the data base of The Protocol for World Peace were abstracted, was begun on January 1, 2000, and the finishing work on the final portion of this effort—the Four Governing Indices (World Table of Contents, World Authors A- Z, World Bibliography, World Archives)—was completed on Christmas Day, 2017. * In this bibliography, every effort has been made to discover for each source its card catalogue identification in the constituent libraries of Cornell University, which appears in each entry as a single-word English short-form of their names—OLIN, ASIA, URIS, AFRICANA, COX, ILR (International Labor Relations) etc.—printed prior to each catalogue number. Very occasionally the source is designated in the RARE collection, referring to the library housed in the Rare Book depository; even more occasionally the source is designated as an “Electronic Resource” (If the source edition actually used is not listed, the nearest English-language edition is listted; if there is no English edition, the closest non-English; if the work is entirely absent, but there is present something else by the author that has been collected, the citation “other stuff” will be seen.) In many cases, these catalogue entries are twinned, and the Cornell reference invariably follows the catalogue entry of the library where the source was originally discovered, thus: [ original citation | Cornell citation ]. * The collection was begun through the auspices of the Interlibrary Loan Department of the Southeast Steuben County Public Library in Corning, New York, and for the first year or so liberal use was made of the various public libraries affiliated in this public library system.

  • Kamtapur Movement in North Bengal Geo- Ethno-Environmental and Historical Perspective
    KAMTAPUR MOVEMENT IN NORTH BENGAL GEO- ETHNO-ENVIRONMENTAL AND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE A THESIS SUBMITTED TO UNIVERSITY OF NORTH BENGAL FOR THE AWARD OF Ph.D DEGREE IN SCIENCE IN DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY AND APPLIED GEOGRAPHY BY SOUMENDRA NATH NAG SUPERVISOR DR. SUSHMA ROHATGI ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR DEPARTMENTGEOGRAPHY AND APPLIED GEOGRAPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH BENGAL 2015 KAMTAPUR MOVEMENT IN NORTH BENGAL GEO-ETHNO- ENVIRONMENTAL AND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ABSTRACTS Ethnic diversity as well as ethnic politics is playing a decisive role in functioning of modern states throughout the world. Our country is not an exceptional one. In case of India ethnic consciousness has risen mainly in post-independence era. The demand for formal recognition of the distinct identities often varies from legal and institutional safeguards and discrimination, cultural autonomy for identity preservation, increasing federalism of the state structure and decentralization of political power to separate independent homelands. Particularly, along with the partition of India, North Bengal witnesses a series of changes in its social, demographic and economical fabrics. Sudden influx of refugees from erstwhile East Bengal, (Pakistan) later put a new pressure on the existing resources and competition among the inhabitants of this region. That ultimately led to some kinds of unrest on ethnic line and divide, particularly between the indigenous and immigrant population. So the economic, political and social unrest which are going on in North Bengal over last three decades need to require thorough scrutiny. The primary objective of the proposed research is to examine the origin and development of Kamtapur movements led by Rajbanshis, the major ethnic group of North Bengal, from ethno- historical –geographical and environmental perspective.

It is emphasised that ‘sacred’ notions have always made their presence felt in the domain of the secular. Thus seen, religion is viewed as a form of orientation to the secular world in the sense that it is a source of knowledge, values and norms of a society. Religion thus viewed is an ideology, a system of thought, located in the domain of the sacred. Though pertaining to the ‘other world’ and often associated with the ‘internal’ and the ‘spiritual domain’ of the individual and the collectivity, it has to do with the individuals and collectivities existing in ‘this world’, in that it offers a way to negotiate life. The definition of politics is not as complex as that of religion. It is generally accepted that politics is a set of activities deeply entrenched in ‘this world,’ the secular world.

To be sure one may distinguish between the words religion and faith (Wilfred Cantwell Smith, The Meaning and End of Religion [New York: Mentor, 1964] passim) but in the present context the distinction does not appear to be significant. 2.
