Abstract:
Nutritional status based on BMI is not only influenced by biological factors but also affected by demographic, economic, socio-cultural and environmental conditions of a population. The present paper intends to study the nutritional status with reference to age and family income among the Bengali Muslim and Meitei Women of Cachar District, Assam. The data have been collected by household census method and nutritional anthropometry among 172 Bengali Muslim and 181 Meitei women of 20 to 64 years age. The study reveals that 40.1% of Bengali Muslim and 30.4% of Meitei women are suffering from CED malnutrition while very few women are found to be overweight or obese in both the communities. Chi-square test doesn’t show any significant (p-0.195) difference in nutritional status between the two communities. More than 50% of Bengali Muslim women who belong to higher age group (50+) are found to be suffering from CED malnutrition while frequency of CED malnutrition is high among the middle aged Meitei women. CED malnutrition is found to be more among the Bengali Muslim women of lowest family income category but it is high among the Meitei women who belong to middle income group. Although slight negative correlation exists between BMI and age of the Bengali Muslim women but opposite picture is observed among the Meitei women. BMI of both Bengali Muslim (r=0.209, p<0.01) and Meitei women (r=0.165, p<0.05) demonstrate significant positive correlation with annual family income. The study indicates the affect of family income in nutritional status. However, further studies are required considering other correlated bio-social factors to get deep insight knowledge on it.

Abstract:
The years 1948-1952 were pivotal for the history of Bangladesh. The question of what would be the state language was raised by the people of this country. Muslim leaders in Pakistan, at the time, believed that Urdu should be the state language because it had become recognized as the cultural symbol of sub-continental Muslims. However, most of Pakistan’s population, the Bengalis of eastern Pakistan, to whom Urdu was a foreign language, considered it a ploy by the West Pakistanis to colonize East Pakistan. Protests erupted across East Pakistan after the then Prime Minister of Pakistan replaced Bangla as the state language with Urdu. On February 21, 1952, a student protest resulted in the deaths of some students by police. The language movement drew Bengalis’ attention to their collective aspirations to create a new nation and nationalist identity, leading them to fight for an imagined sovereign state, Bangladesh. Against the backdrop of our language movement, Fagun Haway (In Spring Breeze, 2019), a film by Tauquir Ahmed, captures the anecdotes of Pakistani repression towards Bengalis by portraying the nationalist consciousness and identity approaches of this nation. Employing the concept of nationalism and the historical development of our identity approaches, this paper shows that Ahmed displays the coexistence of Bengali and Muslim identity approaches as well as the contentious relationship between these two approaches inside our nationalism at that time. Besides, Bengaliness is viewed as the dominating approach when the debate over the state language turns into a divisive political one and a fight for our very existence.

Abstract:
The present study was conducted to explore the relationship between academic anxiety and academic performance among upper primary Muslim students with respect to their gender and locale. Students of class VIII from fifteen schools from the three districts of West Bengal [North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas, and Kolkata], under the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education were treated as the population of this research. The Academic Anxiety Scale (AASC) consisted of twenty items developed for Indian culture was adopted and translated into the Bengali language (1). Mean, SD, correlation and t-test were used as statistical techniques for analyzing the collected data. The study found that there is a significant difference in academic anxiety and performance with respect to gender and locale. The present study explored the negative correlation between the academic anxiety and academic performance of the students.

Abstract:
AbstractTotal birth records for the Bengalee Muslim population (BMP) and the Bengalee Hindu caste population (BHCP) for the period 1980-1988 were 17,720 and 119,107 respectively. Of these, the number of twin pairs were 363 BMP and 1,229 BHCP. These data were obtained from the registers of the following hospitals: Islamia Hospital, NRS Medical College and Hospitals and RG Kar Medical College and Hospitals, Calcutta and Medinipore Sadar Hospital, West Bengal, India. The twinning rates found were 20.48 and 10.57 per thousand deliveries in the BMP and BHCP respectively. The proportion of twins, 0.02048, in the BMP was significantly higher (Z = 12.38, p ≤ 0.01) than that in the BHCP, 0.01057. This finding of a higher twinning rate in the BMP is corroborated by the fact that available data on the Muslim population of Srinagar in Kammu and Kashmir, and Lucknow and Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh show higher twinning rates than the other populations of India. This increased twinning rate may be due to the greater amount of inbreeding in the BMP.

Abstract:
The Partition of Bengal (1905) and the creation of a new province opened a new chapter in the history of this region. Whatever might have been the real motive of the colonial government behind the scheme, it divided the Hindus and the Muslims of Bengal. Most of the upper caste Hindus opposed it on the ground that by partitioning Bengal the government, in effect, had planned to divide the Bangla- speaking people. The also argued that it was the part of the government’s grand design of ‘divide and rule’. On the other hand, most of the upper class Muslims in general supported the scheme. The thought that their interests would be better protected in the newly created province and the would be able to overcome decades of backwardness. Yet, there were some Muslims who opposed the partition. As they belonged both to upper class and ordinary section of the Muslim population, their reasons for supporting the partition also varied. Personal, community, national and economic interests prompted interests prompted them to oppose the partition of Bengal.

Abstract:
In 1945, at the end of the Second World War, the British government clearly stated its intention of granting independence to India.The conflict between the British and the Indian nationalists receded into the background, while the increasing antagonism between Hindus and Muslims came to the fore. The Hindus, centred round the Congress Party led by Jawaharlal Nehru, wanted to maintain the unity of India by establishing a government made up of representatives of the two communities. The Muslims, under the banner of the Muslim League and its President, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, demanded the creation of a separate Muslim State, Pakistan. The problem was further complicated by the fact that the approximately 300 million Hindus, 6 million Sikhs and 100 million Muslims in British India were not living in geographically distinct regions, especially in Punjab and Bengal, where the population was mixed.

Abstract:
India is a nation characterised by diversity in religion and caste. This paper attempts to determine whether diversity among religious and social groups has any impact on the borrowing and spending behaviour of households in West Bengal, India. We conduct a Fairlie decomposition analysis to evaluate the religious and caste differences in the socio-economic variables that mostly contribute to the disparity in institutional borrowing, use of institutional loans, and use of banking services using a household-level primary survey in two districts of West Bengal, India. The results of the decomposition analysis in terms of social group differences and religious group differences show that households belonging to the unreserved category and the Hindu population are more likely to hold savings bank accounts, make use of institutional borrowing, and use loans for production purposes than different reserved categories and the Muslim population, respectively. The gap between the reserved and unreserved populations and the Hindu and Muslim populations in terms of institutional borrowing and the use of loans for production purposes widens for regular wage earners and casual labourers in nonagriculture. To reduce the gap between social and religious groups, occupation categories play a major role. The implication is that wider access to financial services should be provided to all sections of the population.

Abstract:
Most scholars believe that the majority of the population of Bangladesh embraced Islam through the influence of the Sufis (mystics, holy men). A large majority of Bangladeshi Muslims perceives Sufis as sources of their spiritual wisdom and guidance, viewing Sufi khanqahs [hospices] and dargahs [mausoleums] to be the nerve centers of Muslim society. It has been argued that the greatest achievement of the Sufis of Bengal is the “growth of cordiality and unity between the Hindus and the Muslims.” Yet, Sufism is a contested phenomenon in Bangladesh. Islamic reform movements in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries preached against some Sufi rituals and practices, and Sufism as a whole. This article analyzes how the concept of “Bangalee Nationalism” emerges, among others, from various Sufi ideologies that recognize the authenticity of another’s faith. This article will also analyze how these traditions have hitherto been engaged in establishing a pluralistic society as well as in developing a culture of tolerance and interfaith dialogue.

Abstract:
In the 1940s, the issues of immigration, land, and identity gained an urgency that had never been witnessed before. Under the different ministries led by Syed Muhammad Saadulla, immigration of Muslim peasants from East Bengal received a new impetus from the 1930s onwards, and the issue of land became a contentious one. Following the All India Muslim League’s Lahore Resolution of 1940, the issue of immigration acquired grave political overtones and became inextricably linked with the question of land and the identity of the indigenous Assamese and tribal populations. The details from the Assam Legislative Assembly debates reveal the diametrically opposite positions held by the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League on immigration, land, and identity. During this time the question of identity came to occupy a central place, and an attempt to do away with administrative measures such as the Line System created a highly explosive situation in the state.

Abstract:
Abstract Caste in Bengal has been marked by an absent-presence. A large Muslim population, the first of the regions in India to be colonized, the dominance of bhadralok in all spheres of Bengal’s colonial life, the Partition and compared to many other regions of India, a near absence of major caste-centric physical violence have all contributed to viewing Bengal as one region where caste at least had minimum significance. Dalaladali and twentieth century mobilisations of marginalized castes on a massive scale for building of organized Hindu society (Hindu sanghathan) offer us significant insights into how caste worked in Bengal. Partition took away the marginalized castes’ challenge to dominant Bengali society. Having lived a life of exile after Partition caste began to ‘come to life’ with new refugee politics and the politics around reservation. This paper deals with caste’s historical and contemporary trajectory in Bengali middle class society.

Abstract:
Chapters Three and Four articulate the competing historical narratives and representations of memory sustaining Myanmar’s ‘Rohingya’ conflict. The last chapter examined the Rohingya ‘Origin’ historical narrative; this chapter considers the Rakhine and Burman perspectives, and interrogates them against the available historical record. This chapter documents and analyses three Rakhine—Burman perspectives, which the authors designate: a) the Rakhine ‘Independence’ narrative, which justifies demands for their autonomy from Burman domination; b) the Burman ‘Unity’ narrative, which claims a shared ancestry and historical unity between all of Myanmar’s national races (excluding Rohingya) as the basis for expectations that minorities will unite with them, to form a political community at the heart of the Union of Myanmar; and c) the Rakhine-Burman ‘Infiltration’ narrative, which claims an influx of Bengali Muslims during the colonial and post-Independence period poses an existential threat to the ethnic Rakhine, to Buddhism and to the Myanmar nation. Discussion of each of these narratives includes an assessment of written historical sources and their sociopolitical context, and an overview and critique of these narratives in the light of known history and Bar-Tal’s (2013) ideas about intractable conflict. The chapter concludes with a demographic analysis highlighting the growth of the Muslim population in Rakhine during the colonial period.

Abstract:
Abstract The Hindu—Muslim equation has puzzled social scientists in modern India considerably. India is committed to ‘unity among diversity’ as an ideal of a secular, democratic republic. However, in practice the linguistic, regional, ethnic, and religious diversities have tended to pose numerous problems for its integrated national growth and development. Of these many diversities, the relations between Hindus and Muslims have been markedly salient. Though the Hindu-Muslim contact dates back to more than a thousand years, it has been marked with growing violence between the two ethnic communities in recent years. Firstly, a study of demographic data underlines the problem. Muslims in India constitute the largest single minority of about 11—12 per cent of the total population, which is approximately one hundred million people. This is practically equal to the total Muslim population of West Asia and is more than the Muslim population of Pakistan. After Indonesia and Bangladesh, India has the largest concentration of Muslims. There are few nations with such a large minority in relation to its total population. Nearly 50 per cent of this Muslim population of India live in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal. Uttar Pradesh alone accounts for about a quarter of the Muslim population of the country. The urban Muslim population is 16.28 per cent against 9.82 per cent in rural areas. The confrontations between Hindus and Muslims have been largely in urban areas where relatively large numbers of Muslims concentrate (D’Souza 1983). It has also been suggested that urban areas with a Muslim minority population ranging between 20 and 40 per cent of the total population are more disturbance prone (Engineer 1984; Saxena 1984; Krishna 1985).

Abstract:
Abstract In June 1946, one year before formal Independence from British rule, plans were announced to partition colonial India along religious lines into what would become the sovereign nation-states of India and Pakistan. The division would mainly affect Punjab in the north-west and Bengal in the east, both of which regions had large Muslim populations. Partition was the (for many people, unexpected) culmination of several years of political manoeuvring or a ‘triangular game plan’ of the Indian National Congress, the Muslim League, and the colonial government (Mushirul Hasan cited in Francisco 2000: 381). The hardening of divisions between Hindus and Muslims was itself a product of the colonial policy of divide et impera, or ‘divide and rule’.

Abstract:
Abstract The Indian subcontinent is often called an ‘ethnological museum’ because of its huge variety of races, religions and languages. An ethnic group may be defined as a population living in a contiguous geographical area, sharing common history, language, religion and a host of cultural traits including family, marriage, dress and food habits. Language is usually the most important factor defining ethnicity since people speaking the same language but living in different geographical locations or professing different religions are often observed to possess similar cultural traits. For instance, very little or no difference in culture is observed between the Punjabi speaking populations in Punjab and South India, or between Punjabi-speaking Hindus and Punjabi-speaking Sikhs. Thus, an ethnic group is very often identified in terms of the language it speaks, rather than its geographical location or religion.
