Abstract:

The emergence of broad rural support in West Bengal for the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM) is here studied through the history (1960 to present) of two villages in Burdwan district. The focus is on the relationship between the dynamics of village politics and political and ideological changes of the larger polity. Village politics constitutes an important realm of informal rules for political action and public participation where popular perceptions of wider political events and cultural changes are created. The communist mobilization of the late 1960s followed from an informal alliance formed between sections of the educated (and politicized) middle-class peasantry and certain groups (castes) of poor. The middle-class peasantry drew inspiration from Bengal's high-status and literary but radicalized tradition. However, the establishment and dynamics of the alliance, at the local level, can only be understood within the normative framework of the village. The poor appeared previously as marginal to public exercise of village affairs, but were nonetheless able to manipulate resources available to them (numbers, assertion, norms) and thus achieve some leverage vis-a-vis village leaders dependent on man-support or "moral economy" sentiments for legitimacy. The interests of these groups of poor, particularly of the social or cultural kind since the material resources available were very limited, became crucial in the bonds village leaders sought to create to retain their support. Following on this practice, also the CPM's local party leadership, in the 1980s and 1990s, consistently confirmed social aspirations and status considerations. This leads to the conclusions that not only do communist movements too depend on considerations of social status, honours, and symbolic displays of respect but that the scope for change and the manner in which the communist movement can function at the local level derive from popular perceptions, formed and enacted in villages.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to explain the existence and coexistence of diverse hired labour arrangements in two contrasting localities in rural West Bengal (India). Hired labour arrangements for seasonal migrants are included in the analysis, the methods for which are drawn from a review of the contractual arrangements literature. One study locality, in Bardhaman District, was characterised by double-cropping of paddy facilitated by groundwater irrigation, the other, in Purulia District, by rainfed paddy cultivation. The structure of landownership was skewed - more so in the Bardhaman locality. Daily employment records were kept by ninety-two sampled households over two seasons. In each locality six different indigenous types of hired labour arrangement were identified. Analysis of the rationales for the existence and coexistence of these labour arrangements and of the variation within each type confirmed the embeddedness of the terms and conditions of labour hire (including those for migrant labour) in the land-holding structure, in ideologies of gender and caste, and in party political allegiances. Possibilities for and constraints on hiring out labour in particular arrangements are explained in part by the logic of deployment of household labour to unwaged reproductive and productive work, which is also socially embedded in the same way. The thesis thus sets a new agenda for research. It questions the received wisdom on rural labour exchange in India: i) that villages tend to have just one wage rate for 'casual' labour determined by supply and demand alone, ii) that stylised labour arrangements (eg 'casual' and 'attached') are appropriate occupational classifications for individuals and households, and iii) that rural labour is immobile. If the coexistence of diverse labour arrangements is to be explained, more, careful microstudies are required, so that a typology of socio-economic, political and agro-ecological contexts can be developed.

Abstract:

Natural attenuation of trichloroethene (TCE) and technetium (99Tc) was studied for five consecutive seasons (from January 2002 to January 2003) in Little Bayou Creek. The stream receives ground water discharge from an aquifer contaminated by past waste disposal activities at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP), a uranium enrichment facility near Paducah, Kentucky. Results from stream gaging, contaminant monitoring, tracer tests (with bromide, nitrate, rhodamine WT and propane) and simulation modeling indicate the TCE is naturally attenuated by volatilization and dilution, with volatilization rates related to the ambient temperature and surface discharge rate. The only apparent mechanism of 99Tc attenuation is dilution. Travel times of non-gaseous tracers were found to be similar and have highest values in October and lowest in June. It was also estimated from modeling that the transport of the solutes in the stream was mostly one-dimensional with insignificant secondary storage.

Abstract:

Multiple studies in the Bengal basin have shown that elevated As in groundwater coincides with reduced, relatively dark sediments of Himalayan provenance. In West Bengal state (India), As concentrations > 10 μg/L tend to occur east of the River Bhagirathi-Hoogly, the main distributary of the Ganges. Associations among sediment chemistry and mineralogy for four cores from either side of the Bhagirathi-Hoogly (cores 1 and 2 to the east, 3 and 4 to the west) in Murshidabad district were investigated. Ten sediment samples were collected from each boring at various depths to a maximum of 38 to 43 m. Sediment chemistry was investigated using sequential extraction, digestion and analysis of As, Al, Ca, Fe, and Mn on an ICP-OES and GFAAS, and by total carbon analysis on a CNS analyzer. Organic carbon content was measured gravimetrically by HCl digestion. Sediment mineralogy was investigated using thin-section petrography and a microprobe EDS. Pyroxenes and phyllosilicates appear to be the primary sources of arsenic in the study area. Additionally, core 4 sediments are mineralogically similar to cores 1 and 2 despite differences in arsenic concentrations in the groundwater. We conclude that a 65-ft (20-m) silt layer overlying the aquifer sands in core 4 acts as a local aquitard and restricts arsenic mobilization locally.

Flood, Rory Patrick. "Post Mid-Holocene sedimentation of the West Bengal Sundarbans." Thesis, Queen's University Belfast, 2014. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.673854.

Full text

Abstract:

The Sundarbans is one of the largest coastal wetland sites in the world that covers an area of approximately one million hectares in the delta of the Ganges and Brahmaputra (G-B) rivers located across Bangladesh and India. This thesis sets out to examine sedimentation taking place in the western, 'abandoned' tidal delta over the course of the mid-to-late-Holocene epoch, c. last 4000 cal yr BP. This will focus on investigating the dominant sources and depositional processes through grain-size distributions, mineralogy, and high-resolution core-scan derived geochemistry of sediments for provenance and depositional process indicators. By approximately 5000 cal yr BP, the Ganges River had largely abandoned the western delta complex underlying the present day Indian Sundarbans and migrated eastward towards its present day course. The western extent of the old G-B delta is now considered to be undergoing net erosion, at least since the middle ofthe 19th century. This thesis seeks to test and challenge these assumptions. The results from this thesis suggest that sedimentary provenance is dominated by a mixed Ganges-Brahmaputra source, composed mainly of silicate weathering products, with the possibility of greater Ganges inputs. The depositional environment is characterised by a sedimentary facies record similar to that of a muddy-tidal flat with a dominant fining-up of the grain size distributions, capping what may potential sub-tidal ridges. Radiocarbon results reveal an overarching trend in stratigraphically anachronous dates that are potentially indicative of fluctuating depositional processes present throughout the Sundarbans. Sedimentation processes in the Sundarbans appear to reflect the ebband flood-tidal conditions which may be overprinted by monsoonal variability. A novel development in the methodological approaches pursued in this research has been through the compositional data analysis (CoDa) framework. The Sundarbans may be considered to be a dynamic sedimentary depositional environment that is under constant flux.

Abstract:

This dissertation analyses the Naxalbari Movement in West Bengal (1967-1975), a radical movement inspired by the Marxist-Leninist theory ofrevolution and mediated through the Maoist interpretations ofpeasant revolution, from the point ofview of gender. In spite ofbeing one of the well-studied political and social events in postcolonial West Bengal, the gender aspect remains neglected in the historiography of the movement. This is partly a historiographical practice to read the movement - its available academic and literary accounts - with new information and insight, gained principally through women's words. The popular and academic representations ofwomen participants as merely 'supportive', who apparently joined the movement only for 'attractions oflove' instead ofpolitical consciousness, are analysed through women's interpretations of their participation. The critical task is to seek the perfect poise between isolationist celebration ofindividual women and recovery ofdifferent silenced voices. 'Women' is not a composite, ahistorical 'other', waiting to be recovered, but inextricably mapped in the grid ofclass and race relations, colonialism and capitalism. The real and imagined histories of the Naxalbari movement, I argue, are fraught with varied gendered experiences of political motivation, revolutionary activism, and violence. Oral histories ofwomen participants from diverse backgrounds - tribal, workingclass, small-town-based middle-class, and metropolitan middle-class - suggest that gender relations were characterised by subtle nuances ofdomination, negotiation, acquiescence, and resistance. Examining women's experience, not as indisputable facts but as interpretations of selfhood, has emerged as a significant tenet of contemporary feminist theory. The recent critique ofthe representation of third world women as victims per excellence also encourages reading women participants' speech and silence as complex discourses of agency. Multiple meanings ofmagic moments ofwomen's struggle within the ideological and existential worlds ofNaxalbari can be derived from their words. This dissertation foregrounds how conflicts between an enchanted world of emancipation and entrenched patriarchal domination shaped their identities as women, as Naxalites, and as women Naxalites.

Abstract:

The theme of this research is the conservation of open dry-deciduous forest areas of West Bengal, India, through the socio-economic progress of forest dwellers. The use of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) is manifold in the livelihood of this area. Systematic and sustainable harvesting of NTFPs could improve the standard of living of forest dwellers and play an important role in the conservation of forest ecosystems. The research was conducted in Purulia, Bankura and West Midnapur districts, in the south-western part of West Bengal, India. Firewood is the main source of fuel for the forest fringe dwellers of these three districts. Due to the high demand firewood harvesting is an important occupation for a large number of forest communities. The incessant collection of firewood is adversely affecting forest cover and the type and quality of plant species. In this circumstance, sustainable and systematic harvesting of NTFPs can play a potential role in creating job opportunities for forest dwellers. The enhancement of organised NTFP marketing channels could improve the economy and thus reduce the major dependence on firewood. Therefore, the aim of the thesis is to examine NTFPs-based economic development of forest fringe dwellers and to protect the forest cover. The thesis starts with a brief introduction to NTFPs and its present importance in forest livelihoods in India (with reference to West Bengal) and in international context, highlighting work by geographers, forest researchers, economists and sociologists who are becoming more interested on NTFPs and forest livelihoods from their respective disciplinary perspectives. To have an idea about NTFPs based forest livelihood of West Bengal, it is necessary to study the geo-physical features of the State and the study area. This will reveal the reasons why this area has been selected for this research. A variety of complementary sources and methodologies were used for the collection and analysis of data and information. Detailed archival research at the British Library, London provides insight into the pre-colonial and colonial NTFP-based forest livelihoods of the Presidency of Bengal. An exploration of the socio-cultural characteristics of forest communities through interviews and surveys helped to reveal the use and importance of NTFPs. After collection of NTFPs, it is necessary to store those products for gradation and value-addition. The research reveals that the organised markets are quite away from forest villages. Therefore, the knowledge of systematic and sustainable collection and storage of NTFPs needs to be enhanced at the grassroots level. After the collection and processing of NTFPs, the most important thing is marketing. Through the organised marketing system, forest dwellers can earn more money selling the same amount of products. It was discovered that a large number of intermediaries are involved in the NTFPs business and these intermediaries often try to purchase NTFPs from actual collectors at a very low price and then sell them at a high price. The reasons for the presence of middlemen and how the formal marketing channels can be stronger than the present informal channels were all revealed to be important issues which bolster the formal marketing channels, in which actual collectors might earn reasonable price for their collected NTFPs. It is argued that the efficient and sustainable harvesting of NTFPs can promote opportunities for marginal forest dwellers of these three districts. The increasing production of value-added products from different NTFPs can improve the economic status of these forest dwellers and will reduce rampant demolition of forest resources. The socio-economic improvement can also shift forest dwellers to other professions, which will reduce the dependency on forestry and subsequently it will help to promote the dry-deciduous forest ecology. Therefore, the research begins with an investigation of historical perspective of human-forest interactions in the Presidency of Bengal and subsequently explores the contemporary forest-based livelihoods of the socio-economically deprived forest fringe dwellers in the dry-deciduous forest areas of West Bengal. The research draws on interdisciplinary areas including historical geography with reference of indigenous knowledge regarding forest products, development geography of the forest-based livelihoods and economic geography of the systematic and sustainable harvesting of NTFPs for the enhancement of formal marketing channels. The study demonstrates that there is a need for intensive research at the grassroots level that will address all the aspects of NTFPs and forest livelihoods, before devising any precise NTFP policy to improve the status of forest livelihoods through the sustainable harvesting of forest products.

Abstract:

My dissertation research investigates the impacts of biodiversity conservation on the local population living in the Sundarban Biosphere Reserve (SBR). More specifically, the research examines the impacts of conservation on local fishing communities living on the edge of the Sundarban Reserve Forest. In addition, it examines the causes and characteristics of conflicts between the biosphere reserve managers and the local fishing communities over the resource use of the biosphere reserve. The research project also explores the impacts of ecotourism on the local population that lives on the edge of the Sundarban Tiger Reserve (STR). STR is one of the important components of the larger biosphere reserve and the core area of the STR overlaps with the core area of the SBR. Findings from research indicate that the current management of the SBR in many ways replicates a fortress conservation model in which local fishermen are denied access to the fishing grounds in the core and sanctuary areas of the STR. Furthermore, the regulation of number of boats through the Boat Licensing Certificate (BLC) creates an avenue for illegal fishing in the STR. Illegal fishing makes fishermen more vulnerable to tiger attacks as the fishermen try to avoid the patrolling forest guards and hide themselves deep in the forest. Fishermen also pay frequent fine for illegal fishing and face harassments from the biosphere resource managers. The confiscation of BLCs and fishing implements also leads to significant loss of fishing time. Additionally, the research shows how the characteristics of a fortress conservation model continue to live on despite there was no instances of eviction during the formation of the SundarbanTiger Reserve in 1973. In sum, this dissertation transforms our overall understanding of a fortress conservation model and suggests that we need to consider broader environmental and political history of a region to understand conservation in a given territory.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the relationship between the Communist Party of India (Marxist)-led Left Front Government and the media in the provincial state of West Bengal, India, during the thirty four years (1977-2011) period when the party was in government. The main aim of the thesis is to investigate the relation between the CPI (M) led Left Front Government and the media in West Bengal (1977-2011), the role of the media in stabilising or destabilising the Left Front Government, the impact of neoliberalism on the Left Front Government and their relation with the media, the role of the media in communicating developmental policies of the LFG to the public and finally the role which the mainstream and the party controlled media played in the public sphere. These questions are addressed through document research of CPI (M)’s congress and conference reports, manifestos, press releases, pamphlets, leaflets, booklets; and interviews with the CPI (M) leadership and the Editors and Bureau Chiefs of the key newspapers and television channels in West Bengal. The findings are contextualised within a broader discussion of the political and historical transitions India and West Bengal have gone through in this period (chapter 4). This is the first study looking at the relationship between the media and the CPI (M) led Left Front Government over a period of thirty four years (1977-2011). The thesis finds that neoliberalism in India had considerable effects on the CPI (M), the media and their relationship. The research finds a continuous effort from the mainstream and the party-controlled media to dominate the public sphere leading debates in order to seek some form of political consensus in order to govern. The media in West Bengal were politically divided between the left and the opposition. The research finds that this generated a market for political advertisements and political news contributing to a politically polarised media market in West Bengal that assisted in generating revenue for the media. The findings also suggest that the media contributed to rather than played a determining role in destabilising the Left Front Government. Finally the research finds that the CPI (M) had an arduous relation with the media since 1977 when the party decided to participate in the parliamentary democracy. The LFG and the mainstream media entered into an antagonistic relationship post 1991 contributing to a politically polarised media market in West Bengal.

Abstract:

Il movimento Naxalbari (Naksalbāḍī āndolan) denota una serie di proteste contadine avvenute principalmente nello stato indiano del West Bengal tra il 1967 e il 1972. Dopo i primi successi raggiunti attraverso azioni di massa, votate al miglioramento della situazione agraria nelle zone rurali vicino alla cittadina di Naxalbari, il movimento è divenuto clandestino a causa della repressione statale. Negli ultimi due anni di attività, esso ha assunto sempre di più un carattere di lotta armata che si appoggiava al movimento studentesco della città di Kolkata. Il presente studio si propone di indagare alcune dinamiche storico-sociali che hanno portato alla nascita e allo sviluppo di tale corrente definita insurrezionale in contrapposizione alla politica mainstream, e la cui base ideologica faceva riferimento al pensiero marxista-leninista e di Mao Tse-tung.
