Abstract:

Floods are very common in eastern India during southwest monsoon season. It brings a lot of misery to the people of this region. Every year eastern Indian states namely West Bengal, Odisha and Bihar witness such types of flood during monsoon period. Major river basins in eastern India are Ganga river basin in Bihar and West Bengal area, Odisha has three river basins namely Mahanadi, Subarnarekha, Brahmani and Baitarani [Fig. 1(a)]. As majority of tributary rivers of Ganga passing through Bihar and West Bengal; these two states are more prone to massive flood during monsoon season. The abnormal occurrence of rainfall generally causes floods. It occurs when surface runoff exceeds the capacity of natural drainage. The heavy rainfall is frequently occurring event over the area during South-West Monsoon (SWM) every year. The geographical location of the area, orography and its interaction with the basic monsoon flow is considered as one of prime factors of these heavy rainfall activities. Synoptically, the latitudinal oscillation of eastern end of the Monsoon Trough and the synoptic disturbances formed or passing over the eastern India region and / or its neighbourhood that brings moisture laden Easterly or South-Easterly winds over the area are the main causes responsible for heavy rainfall in this area.

Abstract:

The article examines the spatial turn in the contestations between the Indian nation and the British empire, as manifested in the creation and annulment of a new province at the turn of the twentieth century. The province, Eastern Bengal and Assam, was a culmination of the British Indian empire's eastern gaze since the early nineteenth century across northeastern India, Burma, and southern China. While the new province was expected to facilitate the empire's eastward transregional engagements, the national resistance to the scheme was influenced more by the comfort zone of the agro-ecological regime of the plains of the Bengal Delta, imagined to be capable of sustaining the Bengali nation in decline. The province was dismantled within six years in the face of the razing national movement, but a century later its legacy returns as India looks east.

Abstract:

The enthralling sweet taste that mesmerizes the eastern part of India, or more specifically the undivided Bengal (West Bengal and Bangladesh) is unveiled. The ethnic sweetmeats that originated in Bengal varied over their primary ingredients, size, shape, and process of production due to variation in the context of geographical, cultural, and religious beliefs. In total, thirty-eight numbers of sweet products that are originated in Bengal are reconnoitered along with their nutritional composition and shelf life. Based on the key ingredients, the sweetmeats can be divided into nine classes, namely, chhana-based, pulse-based, fried, milk-skin-based, extruded rice-based, fermented, khoa-based, fruit-based, and sugar-based. Nutritional heritage comes along with health-related benefits to mankind; the racial sweetmeats produced in undivided Bengal have crucial medicinal and gastronomical importance. The sweetmeats are basically the assimilation of ancestral Bengali tradition, rituals, and convictions through the cascade of time. The classical and folk processing methods practiced from antediluvian times have had a prominent impression on the taste and nutritional comportment of the sweets produced. To the best of our knowledge, this article is the first attempt to scientifically document the integrity of the processing methods, nutritional content, and health benefits of traditional sweetmeats.

Abstract:

Background: The three eastern states of India (Odisha, Bihar, and West Bengal) share common borders with similar cultural and socio-demographic characteristics due to historical ties. In the recent past, these states witnessed large-scale return migration of workers, leading to increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases. Despite the increasing number of cases, the testing capacity in Odisha, Bihar, and West Bengal is significantly lower compared to the testing capacities in the western, southern, and northern regions. Methods: This study utilized a nine-month retrospective longitudinal design, focusing on the COVID-19 situation and healthcare facilities in Odisha, West Bengal, and Bihar from May 2020 to January 2021. Data were extracted from various Government and research institution websites, and descriptive analyses employed bar and line diagrams. Results: Odisha and Bihar show declining COVID-19 cases, deaths, and test positivity rates, while West Bengal is on the rise. Testing rates are consistently increasing in all three states. West Bengal has the highest doctors per million, Odisha has the most nurses per million, and more pharmacists are registered in West Bengal. In health infrastructure, Odisha has COVID-19 special hospital testing centers, while West Bengal leads in hospital beds and ICU beds. Conclusions: The burden of COVID-19 infection in India was heterogeneous, with evidence of high transmission in the eastern, northeast, western, and southern regions. The study findings will be helpful in making informed decisions about the current state-wise health status in eastern India.

Abstract:

The aim of the study is to understand trend or non-linearity along with a chaotic behaviour, if any, of Eastern and North Eastern sub-divisional rainfall, namely Orissa, Gangetic West Bengal, Sub Himalayan West Bengal, Assam and Meghalaya and also Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura based on rainfall data of 143 years (1871-2013). The analysis is performed for examining behaviour of rainfall in each of the seasons, namely, Pre monsoon, South West monsoon, North East monsoon and also Annual rainfall extracted from the monthly data. For that purpose, a trend analysis with Hurst Exponent and non-linearity analysis with Lyapunov Exponent are employed. The analysis revealed that rainfall of Orissa is persistent for all the seasons whilst the rainfall is persistent in Gangetic West Bengal in Pre monsoon and North East monsoon and Assam and Meghalaya along with Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura exhibit persistent behaviour in South West Monsoon and annually. Sub Himalayan West Bengal exhibit persistence in annual rainfall only. Chaotic tendency in low magnitude is located in many cases whilst non-chaotic situation has occurred when the persistence is found, mainly in pre-monsoon season. Moreover, the analysis of Hurst and Lyapunov Exponent revealed to identify two groups of sub-divisions with exactly similar region of every respect. Those two groups contain (i) sub-divisions Orissa and Assam and Meghalaya and also (ii) sub-divisions Sub Himalayan West Bengal and Nagaland, Mizoram, Manipur and Tripura although those are at distances of hundreds of kilometers away. The behaviour of those subdivisions in a group has similar behaviour in all respects.

Abstract:

AbstractManasā is a very important goddess of the eastern part of India, particularly for the lower castes of Bengal, West Assam, some districts of Odisha, Jharkhand and Bihar. She is the main goddess for the majority of Rajbansis of North Bengal. The fluid border between deities, witches and human beings is an essential part of both her myth and cult. Being a Tāntric deity, Manasā has an extremely ambivalent character: according to the narratives and ritualistic practice she is at the same time both welcomed and unwanted. Her worship involves negotiation with dangerous divine power, which generates insecurity and uncertainty, but at the same time rewards adepts with wonderful abilities. This paper is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted by the author in rural places in the Jalpaiguri, Koch-Behar, Goalpara and Darrang districts of West Bengal and Assam, India, among Rajbansis, Bodo Kachari and Assamees. The details of Manasā worship, Behula dance and storytelling by Bengali Monośa gidal, and in a form of Assamese suknāni ojha-palli (with deodhani dance and trance) will reveal a peculiar local knowledge system, directly aimed at overcoming and transforming mundane life crises.

Abstract:

Background: West Bengal, situated in eastern India, comprising 19 districts as of 2016 and consisting of 9.13 crore population, had been one of the participating states in the National Mental Health Survey, 2015–16. Aim: To estimate the prevalence and pattern of mental disorders in a representative population in West Bengal. Materials and Methods: Based upon a multi-stage stratified random cluster sampling with probability proportionate to each stage, 2646 eligible individuals were interviewed. Standard validated instruments in Bengali like socio-demographic profiles and Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) version 6 were used by trained data collectors with quality monitoring as per a standardized protocol. Results: The current prevalence of mental illness in the state of West Bengal is 13.07% (12.9–13.24 95% CI), which is more than the current national average of 10.56% (10.51–10.61 95% CI). The prevalence of severe mental illness of 2.32% and suicide risk of 1.75% (1.68–1.81 95% CI) is higher than the national average. The common mental illness prevalence is 11.29 (11.13–11.45 95% CI), which is similar to the national weighted average. In West Bengal, severe mental illness is more concentrated in the rural areas in contrast to the national trend. Also, the prevalence of alcohol use disorder is 3.04 (2.96–3.13 95% CI) and epilepsy is 0.03 (0.27–0.29 95% CI), which is less than the national average. Conclusion: The prevalence of mental disorders in the state of West Bengal is higher than the national average, and for severe mental illness, the prevalence is the highest as compared to the national average.

Abstract:

India has the longest engagement with Shakespeare of any non-Western country. In the eastern Indian region of Bengal, contact with Shakespeare began in the eighteenth century. His plays were read and acted in newly established English schools, and performed professionally in new English theatres. A paradigm shift came with the foundation of the Hindu College in Calcutta in 1817. Shakespeare featured largely in this new ‘English education’, taught first by Englishmen and, from the start of the twentieth century, by a distinguished line of Indian scholars. Simultaneously, the Shakespearean model melded with traditional Bengali popular drama to create a new professional urban Bengali theatre. The close interaction between page and stage also evinced a certain tension. The highly indigenized theatre assimilated Shakespeare in a varied synthesis, while academic interest focused increasingly on Shakespeare’s own text. Beyond the theatre and the classroom, Shakespeare reached out to a wider public, largely as a read rather than performed text. He was widely read in translation, most often in prose versions and loose adaptations. His readership extended to women, and to people outside the city who could not visit the theatre. Thus Shakespeare became part of the shared heritage of the entire educated middle class. Bengali literature since the late nineteenth century testifies strongly to this trend, often inducing a comparison with the Sanskrit dramatist Kalidasa. Most importantly, Shakespeare became part of the common currency of cultural and intellectual exchange.

Abstract:

Kailashbashini Debi’s Janaika Grihabadhu’r Diary (The Diary of a Certain Housewife; written between 1847 and 1873, serialised almost a century later in the monthly Basumati in 1952) chronicles her travels along the waterways of eastern Bengal. Her travels are firmly centred around her husband’s work; in his absence, she is Robinson Crusoe, marooned in the hinterlands of Bengal with only her daughter.Bearing in mind the gendered limitations on travel in the nineteenth century for upper-caste Bengali women, this essay investigates Kailashbashini Debi’s narration of her travels and the utopic vision of the modern housewife that Kailashbashini constructs for herself. The essay looks into the audacious nature of Kailashbashini’s effort: to claim a space in public memory alongside her husband. In the process, the essay seeks to address the restructuring of domestic life made possible by the experience of travel, and explore the contours of women’s travel writing in nineteenth-century India

Abstract:

This thesis argues that remarkable fluctuations in the economic and societal performance in colonial eastern Bengal were intimately related to changing ecological relations. During the nineteenth century, new alluvial lands were created by the fluvial actions of the rivers and huge tracts of land were reclaimed from the Sundarbans forest system. The internal dynamics of the new lands were matched by the external factor of the demand for commodity produce in the world market. The result was a successful commercialisation of agriculture which eventually played an important role in the upward social and economic mobility of ordinary cultivators. By the beginning of the twentieth century, however, this formative role of nature, particularly the water regime, ceased to be operative for a number of natural and manmade factors. Particularly, the haphazard extension of railway embankments in a fluid deltaic environment and the importation and growth of the water hyacinth caused enormous obstacles to the free flow of numerous rivers and canals, which adversely affected traditional agriculture and navigation facilities. While the deteriorating ecological regime contributed to the shift from a relatively buoyant economy and society to a declining one, far-reaching changes took place in the social organisation of agrarian productions. In the nineteenth century proprietary (occupancy) rights rested with the peasant labourer who reclaimed land from alluvial formations and forests where he produced his cash and subsistence crops. In the course of early twentieth century, there emerged a new category of people who did not cultivate land themselves, but controlled the proceeds from it. Both rich peasants and the bhadralok, emerging from a Western-educated middle class, successfully attempted to shift the ordinary cultivators’ occupancy rights in their favour in order to secure a rent-receiving position. This process led to the growth of a large number of rent-receivers at the expense of the actual tillers of the land. Thus, while deterioration in the ecological regime of the Delta brought a decline in agricultural production and public health, a strained agrarian relation produced a landless and land-poor rural population which proved to be the easiest prey to the great Bengal famine of 1943.

Abstract:

L'objectif principal de cette thèse était de reconstituer l'évolution de la circulation intermédiaire depuis la dernière période glaciaire à partir de carottes de sédiments marins prélevées dans le golfe du Bengale GB, la Mer d’Arabie MA et l’océan Indien équatorial oriental OIEO. La stratégie scientifique mise en œuvre inclut l’étude des assemblages et de la géochimie des foraminifères benthiques, afin de reconstruire les changements de source et de ventilation des masses d’eau. Les résultats obtenus dans le GB ont permis de restituer les changements hydrologiques à profondeur intermédiaire à haute résolution temporelle au cours des derniers 40 ka. Les enregistrements témoignent de changements dans la source des masses d’eau, entre l’Océan austral avec les eaux antarctiques intermédiaires AAIW et les eaux Nord Atlantique NADW, à l’échelle glaciaire-interglaciaire mais aussi lors des événements millénaires. Ce travail a aussi permis de fournir les premiers enregistrements à haute résolution temporelle des rapports élémentaires des foraminifères benthiques (Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, U/Ca et Li/Ca) dans le GB et en MA. Ces résultats permettent notamment de mieux contraindre la pénétration des AAIW vers le nord depuis la dernière période glaciaire. La reconstruction de la concentration en ion carbonate permet également de discuter des relations entre les variations de la circulation intermédiaire et les changements profonds du cycle du Carbone à l’échelle globale, notamment via les échanges se produisant dans l’Océan Austral. Nous avons également fourni dans ce travail les premiers enregistrements de Cd/Ca et de Ba/Ca continus et à haute résolution dans le nord de l’océan Indien, pour reconstituer les modifications passées de la teneur en éléments nutritifs. Les enregistrements géochimiques dans l’OIEO témoignent de profonds changements des propriétés des masses d'eau intermédiaires, associées aux changements de circulation
The main objective of this study was to reconstruct the evolution of the intermediate water circulation since the last glacial period by the investigation of marine cores collected from the Bay of Bengal (BoB), Arabian Sea (AS) and Eastern Equatorial Indian Ocean (EEIO). The scientific strategy involves benthic foraminiferal assemblages and geochemical proxies to better constrain past changes in the source and ventilation of water masses. Records from the BoB allowed reconstructing hydrological changes at intermediate depth over the last 40 cal kyr. The records highlight changes in the source of water masses, with a balance between the contribution of southern Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) versus North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) at glacial-interglacial timescale as well as during millennial events. This work also provided the first high-resolution benthic foraminifera elemental ratio records (Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, U/Ca and Li/Ca) from the BoB and the AS. These records especially help to better constrain the northward penetration of AAIW over the last glacial period. The reconstruction of the carbonate ion concentration allowed to discuss the relationships between the intermediate water circulation and deep changes in the global Carbon cycle, with a special interest for the Southern Ocean. This work also provides the first continuous and high-resolution benthic Cd/Ca and Ba/Ca records in the northern Indian Ocean, could reconstruct past changes in the nutrient content. Geochemical records from the EEIO exhibit strong changes in the chemical properties of the intermediate water masses, related to global circulation changes in the area

Behara, Ambica. "Effect of Rainfall and River Discharge on the North Indian Ocean." Thesis, 2018. https://etd.iisc.ac.in/handle/2005/4102.

Full text

Abstract:

In the north Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal (BoB or bay) and the Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) receive a huge amount of rainfall during summer. Several rivers along their boundaries discharge enormous amounts of freshwater into the coastal regions. Strong near-surface stratification induced by rainfall and river discharge has been linked to warmer sea surface temperature (SST) of the BoB, which forms as a favourable ground for the formation and intensification of the monsoon disturbances during summer. In this thesis, the influence of rainfall and river discharge on the dynamics and thermo-dynamics of the BoB and the EAS is studied using an ocean general circulation model (OGCM). We use an eddy-permitting Indian Ocean model based on MOM4p1 (Modular Ocean Model version 4.1), with a horizontal resolution of 26 km. The vertical resolution of the model varies from 5 m in the top 60 m and the resolution gradually decreases with depth below 60m. The upper ocean hydrography and circulation of the north Indian Ocean is reproduced very well by the model. Individual and combined effects of rainfall and river discharge on the BoB is investigated using the model. A set of four sensitivity experiments, forced with same air-sea heat flux, but retaining either river runoff or rainfall or both are carried out. These experiments show that the river water is exported out of the bay along the western boundary during winter and rain water along the eastern boundary during summer. Runoff leads to a large ( >3 psu) decrease in salinity in the northern bay during summer and along the western boundary during winter, with a weaker contribution from rainfall. The East Indian Coastal Current strengthens by 10 15 cm sec 1 during winter owing to river discharge. The SST response to freshwater forcing shows large vi spatial variations with eastern bay showing higher differences. The north-western bay warms by 1.5 C in the presence of freshwater during summer, due to greater heat absorption within a shallow mixed layer (ML). This warming is caused in nearly equal proportions by rain and river water in early summer, but the contribution by river water dominates during peak and withdrawal phases of the summer monsoon. North-eastern bay, in contrast, is cooler by 1.5 3 C in the presence of freshwater, caused primarily by river runoff, owing to the winter cooling over a thin ML. Temperature inversions form due to surface cooling of a river strati ed layer during winter in the northwestern bay and due to radiation penetrating below the ML during summer in the northeastern bay. The west coast of India and the adjoining EAS is one of the high rainfall zones of Indian summer monsoon. The summer monsoon rainfall in this region is about 1036 km3, which is comparable to that of the Ganga-Brahmaputra river system. We have investigated the impact of EAS rainfall on the Arabian Sea salinity with a suite of experiments using the model. The role of low-salinity water originating in the BoB on reducing the EAS salinity has also been examined. The sea surface salinity (SSS) of EAS decreases progressively from June to September by 0.5 to 1 psu. A numerical experiment that isolates the e ect of EAS rainfall suggests that this SSS decrease is due to local rainfall. The spatial pattern of SSS decrease, however, is influenced by the prevailing West India Coastal Current. The SST in the southern EAS cools by 0.5 C in response to EAS rainfall freshening during summer. The SST cooling in the presence of salinity stratification is attributed to the enhanced upwelling along the southwest coast of India. In the southeastern Arabian Sea, during winter, the SSS decreases by about 1.5 psu. This freshening is caused by rainfall during the early winter in the southwestern BoB between 6 15 N. Neither rainfall to the north of 15 N nor river runoff into the BoB contribute much to the SEAS freshening during winter. The northern bay has been known to remain warm (>28.5 C), which favour the deep atmospheric convection, during summer. The study has been able to identify the individual and combined effects of rainfall and river discharge on the northern BoB. The near-surface salinity stratification allows the northwestern bay to remain warmer during the summer. The cooling in the northeastern bay, in the presence of freshwater forcing, points out the significance of ocean-atmosphere coupling along the eastern boundary of the bay. The local rainfall maintains the surface salinity of EAS below 36 psu throughout the year. Interestingly, the summer monsoon upwelling along the southwest coast of India is stronger in the presence of near-surface stratification induced by the EAS rainfall. The possible implications of this strong upwelling in response to local rainfall and river discharge along the west coast of India on its ecological system needs to be studied.

Abstract:

This thesis draws upon existing bodies of work on 'culture change', 'exchange' and 'person' in Melanesia but brings them together in a new way. In the anthropological debate, culture change has often been discussed in relation to understandings of 'development' involving the reproduction and transformation of cultural categories according to an indigenous understanding of exchange and agency. My research suggests that culture change as it is taking place in Bena, Eastern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea, can best be understood when the model of agentive culture change, first proposed by Sahlins, is conjoined with the theoretical approach of the 'new Melanesian ethnography', especially with Marilyn Strathern's work on agency and personhood. Here, agency is understood in terms of dividuality, partible personhood, composite persons and the decomposition or deconception of persons in exchange. In Bena, the partibility of person is reflected in the perception that every exchange involves personal de- and attachments of an 'essence' called 'nogoya'a' (nurturance). Phillip Newman who worked among a neighbouring group, the Gururumba, found a strikingly similar concept. Unfortunately, his findings have so far been neglected in anthropological literature on Melanesia. This thesis attempts to fill this gap. It reveals how Newman's ethnographic data on 'vital essence' in Gururumba help to clarify the Bena idea of personal partibility expressed in the concept of exchanging personal parts of 'nogoya'a'. In doing so, it provides an insight into the way in which the particular notion of interpersonal exchange in Bena ties in with agentive forms of culture change and explains how the process of merging (or rejecting) elements from other cultures is shaped by the specific Bena understanding of exchange and person. This thesis suggests that culture change in Bena can best be understood as culture ex-change, with exchange being grasped in Bena terms as an ideally reciprocal, nurturing and strengthening flow of vital essence between partible exchange partners.

Abstract:

The paper alludes to the study of how humans relocate themselves with cultural practice and its particular axiom, which embrace the meaning and value of how material and intellectual resource are embedded in culture. The study stimulates the cultural anthropology of the Bengali (Indo-Aryan, Eastern India) diaspora in Kerala (South India) that is dynamic and which keeps changing with the environment, keeping in mind a constant examination of group rituals, traditions, eating habits and communication. Languages are always in a state of flux, as are societies, and society contains customs and practices, beliefs, attitudes, way of life and the way people organize themselves as a group. The study scrutinizes the relationship between language and culture of Bengali people while fraternizing with Malayalee which encapsulates cultural knowledge and locates this in the interactions among members of varied cultural groups across time and space. This is influenced by that Bengali diasporic people change across generations owing to cultural gaps and remodeling of language and culture. The study investigates how a social group, having different cultural habits, manages time and space of a new and diverse sociopolitical situation. Moreover, it also investigates the language behaviour of the Bengali diaspora in Kerala by analyzing the linguistic features of Malayalam (Dravidian) spoken, such as how they express their cultural codes in different spatiotemporal conditions and their lexical choice in those situations.
