Download or read book Land of Two Rivers written by Nitish K. Sengupta and published by Penguin Books India. This book was released on 2011 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land of Two Rivers chronicles the story of one of the most fascinating and influential regions in the Indian subcontinent. The confluence of two major river systems, Ganga and Brahmaputra, created the delta of Bengal--an ancient land known as a center of trade, learning and the arts from the days of the Mahabharata and through the ancient dynasties. During the medieval era, this eventful journey saw the rise of Muslim dynasties which brought into being a unique culture, quite distinct from that of northern India. The colonial conquest in the eighteenth century opened the modern chapter of Bengal's history and transformed the social and economic structure of the region. Nitish Sengupta traces the formation of Bengali identity through the Bengal Renaissance, the growth of nationalist politics and the complex web of events that eventually led to the partition of the region in 1947, analyzing why, despite centuries of shared history and culture, the Bengalis finally divided along communal lines. The struggle of East Pakistan to free itself from West Pakistan's dominance is vividly described, documenting the economic exploitation and cultural oppression of the Bengali people. Ultimately, under the leadership of Bangabandhu Mujibur Rahman, East Pakistan became the independent nation of Bangladesh in 1971. Land of Two Rivers is a scholarly yet extremely accessible account of the development of Bengal, sketching the eventful and turbulent history of this ancient civilization, rich in scope as well as in influence.

The book's three focal themes (e.g. habitat linkages, ekistics and social ecology, hazard and environmental management) elaborate the essential components of human-environment interactions with nature, its impact on the surrounding natural and social environments, and management techniques through research innovations. Readers will learn how maladjustments, disturbances and disasters are often inevitable byproducts of human-environment systems, and what conceptual and practical strategies can be applied towards sustainable coexistence. The book will be of interest to students, academics and policymakers engaged in environmental management, human-environment interactions and sustainable development.

Book excerpt: In the heartland of Bengal, a land teeming with history, tradition, and rich cultural heritage, lies a culinary tapestry that weaves together stories of resilience, empowerment, and the indomitable spirit of Bengali widows. This book, "From Stigma to Strength: The Legacy of Bengal’s Widowhood," delves into the depths of this lesser-known culinary tradition, unearthing the secrets, flavors, and significance behind the widow cuisine that has evolved over centuries. Bengal's widow culture, marked by its unique socio-cultural practices and challenges, has given rise to a distinct culinary legacy. Traditionally, widows in Bengal were subjected to societal restrictions and considered outcasts, burdened with grief and deprived of the joys of life. Yet, within the confines of widow ashrams and households, these resilient women managed to forge a culinary identity that not only sustained them but also served as a symbol of their strength and creativity. Through meticulous research, heartfelt anecdotes, and authentic recipes passed down through generations, this book aims to shine a light on the remarkable culinary heritage of Bengal's widow culture. It unveils the culinary artistry of these widows who, against all odds, managed to transform simple ingredients into delectable dishes that reflect the essence of Bengali cuisine. From the piquant flavors of Shorshe Ilish to the comforting warmth of Chhanar Dalna, the book explores a diverse range of recipes that have been lovingly prepared by Bengali widows for ages. Each dish carries with it a tale of survival, adaptation, and the preservation of tradition, offering a glimpse into the lives of these remarkable women who defied societal norms and carved their own path. Beyond the realm of recipes, this book delves into the historical and dietary importance of widow cuisine, shedding light on its cultural significance and the challenges faced by widow ashrams in Bengal. It explores the socio-cultural impact of widow ashrams, the journey towards empowerment, and the strides made in breaking down societal barriers. Through the pages of this book, we embark on a sensory journey, tantalizing our taste buds and immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of flavors, aromas, and textures that define Bengal's widow cuisine. We pay homage to the unsung heroines who have preserved this culinary heritage and celebrate their resilience, creativity, and unwavering spirit. As you navigate through the chapters, let the stories of these extraordinary women and the flavors they have conjured transport you to a bygone era, where tradition and innovation coexist, and where food becomes a metaphor for the triumph of the human spirit. Welcome to the culinary heritage of Bengal's widow culture. Prepare to be captivated, enlightened, and inspired.

Download or read book The Making of Goddess Durga in Bengal Art Heritage and the Public written by Samir Kumar Das and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the making of the Goddess Durga both as an art and as part of the intangible heritage of Bengal. As the ‘original site of production’ of unbaked clay idols of the Hindu Goddess Durga and other Gods and Goddesses, Kumartuli remains at the centre of such art and heritage. The art and heritage of Kumartuli have been facing challenges in a rapidly globalizing world that demands constant redefinition of ‘art’ with the invasion of market forces and migration of idol makers. As such, the book includes chapters on the evolution of idols, iconographic transformations, popular culture and how the public is constituted by the production and consumption of the works of art and heritage and finally the continuous shaping and reshaping of urban imaginaries and contestations over public space. It also investigates the caste group of Kumbhakars (Kumars or the idol makers), reflecting on the complex relation between inherited skill and artistry. Further, it explores how the social construction of art as ‘art’ introduces a tangled web of power asymmetries between ‘art’ and ‘craft’, between an ‘artist’ and an ‘artisan’, and between ‘appreciation’ and ‘consumption’, along with their implications for the articulation of market in particular and social relations in general. Since little has been written on this heritage hub beyond popular pamphlets, documents on town planning and travelogues, the book, written by authors from various fields, opens up cross-disciplinary conversations, situating itself at the interface between art history, sociology of aesthetics, politics and government, social history, cultural studies, social anthropology and archaeology. The book is aimed at a wide readership, including students, scholars, town planners, heritage preservationists, lawmakers and readers interested in heritage in general and Kumartuli in particular.

Book excerpt: This book presents new studies on intellectual and cultural interactions in the context of Buddhist heritage and Indo-Japanese dialogue in the late 19th and early 20th centuries on art, religion, and cultural politics. By revisiting Buddhist connections between India and Japan, it examines the pathways of communication on common aesthetic and religious heritage that emerged in the backdrop of colonial experiences and the rise of Asian nationalisms. The volume discusses themes such as Asian arts and crafts under colonialism, formation of East Asian art collections, development of Buddhist art history in Japan, Japanese encounters with Ajanta, India in the history of the Shinto tradition, Japan in India’s xenology, and Buddhism and world peace, and suggests paradigms of reconnecting cultural heritage within a global platform. With essays from experts across the world, this book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of history, art history, ancient Indian history, colonial history, heritage and cultural studies, South Asian and East Asian history, visual and media studies, Asian studies, international relations and foreign policy, and the history of globalization.
