‘Saato Haraunu’ -a notion of similar to Soul Loss: The glimpses of ethnic revival among the Mangars and Limbus of Darjeeling
Manisha Thapa and Pinak Tarafdar
Abstract The article highlights the phenomena of Saato Haraunu (soul loss) among the two hill communities of Darjeeling. Saato Haraunu is a kind of sickness prevalent among the children moreover; it also affects shamans during their pre-initiation phase. In spite of similar kind of experiences both in Saato Haraunu and shamanism still one of the under study populations does not hold the scheduled tribe status. The present endeavour has made the exploration unique through the application of auto-ethnographical approach and participant observation of Saato Haraunu and shamanism by the first author which are further conceptually furnished by the second author. It also reveals that soul loss and subsequent shamanic practices remain at the foundational core of both the communities and embedded in the deepest layer of the culture even in the contemporary era and among the formally educated members also. It also emerges as one of the conspicuous factors for retaining and rejuvenating the tribal status for achieving further goals.

What does Belt and Road initiative connote for Bangladesh: A window of opportunities or potential challenges ?
Shah Md Azimul Ehsan
Abstract Much speculation has been spurred among scholars and policy-makers around the world regarding Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), previously known as One Belt One Road (OBOR). There is no denying the fact that it is the biggest initiative of its kind under the leadership of a single nation, China, recorded in human history, and if implemented properly, could prove a game changing grand initiative, which would change the geo-political landscape of Eurasia to China’s favor. Nevertheless, many critics have dubbed it as China’s own “Marshall Plan” for spreading its hegemony. Bangladesh officially became a part of this herculean project in 2016 with high hopes and believe that it would open up window of opportunities. Being one of the signatories of sustainable development goals (SDGs), Bangladesh is committed to achieve sustainable development and integrate those global goals in its national plans and policies. As the country will soon graduate from least developed country (LDC), funding from western allies will dry up in the near future. And so materializing those goals and continuing its robust economic growth and pace of socio-economic development might get halted if the necessary financial backing is not ensured. It is expected that supplementary source of financing will come from various projects related to BRI which would further led to infrastructural development both at land and sea routes in Bangladesh. The positive externality and trickle-down effect of those efforts would mean more employment generation, sustained economic growth, bridging the trade deficit with China along with other socio-economic benefits. This qualitative study drawing information from secondary sources argues that albeit BRI can turn out to be a blessing for Bangladesh; however, it will have to negotiate multiple challenges which include- high rate of interest while borrowing leading to debt-trap; non-involvement of other Asian giant, India in BRI; environmental degradation; not well developed financial system and weak governance system leading to grand corruptions; threat for sovereignty etc. Hence, the study makes a modest suggestion that the Bangladeshi policy makers need to be extra cautious and strategic before making any deals related to BRI projects considering the sensitivity of the issue.

Mahatma Gandhi’s Views on Machinery: Ideas, Manifestations and Practicality through the Prism of Ethical Reasoning
Tridib Chakraborti and Mohor Chakraborty
Abstract Mahatma Gandhi’s attitude towards machinery has passed through three different phases. In the early years of his political thinking, Gandhi was opposed to the concept of machinery and industrialization and justified his arguments based on ethical and economic rationale. However, in the later years, he modified his previous standpoint on machinery, as he realized the distinction between machinery and industrialization on the one hand and between different types of machinery, on the other. He persistently denounced industrialism, i.e. centralized mass production, but acknowledged the limited use of machinery within stringent restrictions for human welfare. During this time, he did not advocate the abolition of machinery, but spoke for its limited usage. In other words, Gandhi, during this phase, amended his earlier stance and upheld his opposition not to machinery but to the obsession for machinery. It is in this backdrop that this paper highlights Gandhi’s views on machinery and the question of ethics, which is extremely topical and relevant in this digitized global order, invariably thrust upon us, as the world reels under the pandemic situation.

Idea and Practice of Fearlessness: Gandhi’s Noakhali Experiment
Arnav Debnath
Abstract M.K.Gandhi’s (1869-1948) use of “ahimsa”, i.e. nonviolence as a “political weapon” as to the question of “Hindu-Muslim relation” in particular in pre-independence India faced one of its hardest challenges in Noakhali of the undivided Bengal (now in Bangladesh) in 1946-1947. The organised violence unleashed by the majority Muslims on the minority Hindus created the point of no return - a “Do or Die” condition for Gandhi which made him set up an experiment upon nonviolence heavily armed with the idea and practice of “fearlessness”, another primal observance in Gandhi’s thought. This paper attempts to spell out the categories relating to the understanding of the idea of ‘fearlessness’ which he propelled with an eye to restore the communal trust along with nonviolence to the people of both communities and how the idea, in its varied forms, had been put into effect by the satyagrahi exemplars, including Gandhi himself, in Noakhali. The practice of fearlessness in Noakhali adds further importance to it for its being ‘political’ by nature as specific for Muslim League’s anti-national politics of disintegration (of Indian nation) against the larger context at that juncture of historical time.

Jawaharlal Nehru’s Attitude towards Science and Technology
Roshani Rai
Abstract Jawaharlal Nehru, who is counted amongst the greatest and the most outstanding world figures of the twentieth century, was the principal architect of modern India. The second President of India and the great philosopher-statesman, Dr. Sarvapalli Radha Krishnan also once stated about Jawaharlal Nehru: “No homage is necessary for him. Modern India is the greatest monument which he has built for himself.” Since scientific spirit formed the basis of Nehru’s attitude towards life, he stated: “It is now patent that without science and technology we cannot progress,” and that “modern life is an offspring of science and technology.” Therefore, this paper seeks to study how Nehru’s scientific spirit and his love of science and commitment to science played an influential role in guiding his policies in the fields of agricultural production, industrial development and advancement of science and technological developments after he became the first Prime Minister of independent India.

Education of a Special Class: Anglo Indians of British Bengal
Sweta Dey
Abstract Anglo Indian or Eurasian community was unique as it was the product of the imperial enterprise and to that extent they were inimitable since their origin. The education of this class drew comparatively less attention of the historians as this community was not a mainstream category of population. The different layers between the ‘pure white’ and ‘marginal white’ made it a more intrinsic class to converse. The education especially the elementary education of this community of Bengal evolved in its own way leaving the void to investigate many a questions for extensive research. There were several official reports which show that Anglo Indians were treated as a special category that needed special attention and care in the segment of education. European schools which were established to cater for the need of this class were unique in their structure, management, composition and curriculum. The education especially the elementary education of this class was first left upon the philanthropy of the Evangelicals and eventually they were taken into the fold of the mainstream education providing it with a special consideration. This paper by using both qualitative and quantitative sources seeks to investigate the concealed agendas of educational policy of the Anglo Indians and how far these were guided by the imperial interest.

EDUCATION AS MEDIUM TO TRANSFORM CULTURAL VALUES
KUSHAL DE
Abstract Education is considered as the best means to condition or de-condition any society. The basic principle underlying Indian education was to acknowledge the fact that the self is separate from the body, mind or senses and all pleasures are sought for the satisfaction of these faculties. Indian civilization reached its glory banking on these philosophies but the modern educational system adapted from the West contradicts these indigenous principles. The questioning culture was replaced by a commanding culture. The new system proposed, defined and validated ideas which were to be accepted unquestioned by the masses. Accumulation of data deemed worthy for the entire population and reproducing them on demand became the new name of genius. This mad race hypnotized the masses to believe data as ultimate knowledge, truth as a static principle, knowledge as receivable from external agencies; thereby leading to the mediocrity of society.

মুক্তির ছাড়পত্র - বার্ধক্য
শর্মিষ্ঠা ঘোষ
Abstract মানব জীবন শৈশব, কৈশোর, যৌবন, প্রৌঢ়ত্ব এবং পরিশেষে বার্ধক্যের দ্বারপ্রান্তে এসে উপস্থিত হয়। সাধারণভাবে ‘বৃদ্ধ’ শব্দটির মধ্যে ক্ষয়, অক্ষমতা, দুর্বলতা, দুঃখ এই ধরণের কিছু নঞর্থক চিন্তা সম্পৃক্ত থাকে। কারণ বৃদ্ধ বলতেই আমরা এক অক্ষম, দুঃখজর্জরিত, বা দুর্বল মানুষকে বুঝে থাকি। ফলত মানব জীবনে এই পর্যায় উপস্থিত হওয়ার পূর্ব থেকেই অনেক মানুষ ‘বার্ধক্যে উপনীত হলে অক্ষম হয়ে পড়বে, সবাই অবহেলা করবে’ এই ভেবে অবসাদ গ্রস্ত হয়ে পড়ে। বৌদ্ধ দর্শনে বার্ধক্যকে দুঃখ বলা হয় এবং এই দুঃখ থেকে মুক্তির উপায়ও নির্দেশ করা হয়েছে। কিন্তু বার্ধক্য শুধু নঞর্থক এক অবস্থা নয় বা বার্ধক্য এক দুঃখজনক অবস্থা নয়, বার্ধক্য মানব জীবনের এক অনিবার্য পরিণতি, একটি পর্যায় বা স্তর। বার্ধক্যে বেশ কিছু সমস্যা অবশ্যই আছে, যাকে আমরা বার্ধক্যে দুঃখ বলতে পারি। এই দুঃখগুলি কিভাবে জয় করা যাবে তার জন্য সমাজকে যেমন এগিয়ে আসতে হবে, ঠিক তেমনি বৃদ্ধব্যক্তিদের নিজেদেরও তার উপায় বার করতে হবে। বার্ধক্য মানুষকে পরিণত করে সুসংস্কৃত হতে, সুমার্জিত হতে, সুসংশোধিত হতে; একটি পরিপূর্ণ মানুষ হতে সাহায্য করে। শারীরিক অক্ষমতাকে জয় করতে হবে, বার্ধক্যের নতুন ফসল অভিজ্ঞতা – যা বৃদ্ধব্যক্তির গভীরতর জীবনবোধ জাগ্রত করে, তার নিরিখে বৃদ্ধব্যক্তিকে নিজের মূল্যায়ন করতে হবে। তাই বার্ধক্যকে দুঃখ ভেবে তা থেকে মুক্তির কামনা নয়, বরং বার্ধক্য যে নতুন জীবনবোধ নিয়ে আসে তা বৃদ্ধব্যক্তিকে দেয় মুক্তির ছাড়পত্র। সংসারের ছোটখাটো বন্ধন বৃদ্ধব্যক্তিকে আর আবদ্ধ করতে পারে না, সমাজের মঙ্গলার্থে তার সম্মুখে উন্মুক্ত হয়ে যায় সুবিশাল দ্বার। শারীরিক অক্ষমতাকে জয় করে মনের শক্তির দ্বারা সে এগিয়ে যাবে ঐ সুবিশাল দ্বার দিয়ে সমাজের কল্যাণ করতে, এতদিনের সঞ্চিত অভিজ্ঞতা, জীবনবোধকে কাজে লাগানোর উত্তম সময় হল বার্ধক্য। এই প্রবন্ধে দেখার চেষ্টা করেছি বার্ধক্য অবহেলার নয়, দুঃখের নয়, জীবন যেহেতু ঈশ্বরের দান, আর এই জীবনের এক গুরুত্বপূর্ণ অংশ হল বার্ধক্য। এই বার্ধক্যই মানবজীবনকে সম্পূর্ণ বা পূর্ণতর করে তোলে।
