Abstract:

Rajbanshis are indigenous people and have their own labour practices and labour arrangement system. Traditionally, they have divided their work loads according to type of works by sex and age. Like other communities, females have to bear double responsibility - to look after their homes as well as agriculture. Hence they are occupying important part of the Rajbanshi community from the labour arrangement perspective. The Rajbanshi community comprises of caste and sub-caste system based on labour practices. But the widow labour system which was present in the community has now been disappeared.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hjsa.v4i0.4670 Himalayan Journal of Sociology and Anthropology Vol.IV (2010) 91-104

Abstract:

<p><em>Contemporary India has experienced several movements. Separate state movement(s) is one of them by a particular community, Rajbanshi. Generally this movement has started to get a specific identity of the community. From the late nineteenth century it was started by a leader called Panchanan Burma. Slowly this movement has mixed with Indian national politics. And now it has taken an important role in contemporary parliamentary vote politics. To ensure the political stand the upper strata of leaders of Rajbanshi separate state movement have sketched their parties (political and non-political) in the northern districts of West Bengal and adjacent part of Assam. There are many political parties and associations within ‘the movement’. These parties and associations are – Greater Coochbehar Peoples Association (GCPA), Greater Coochbehar Peoples Association (GCPA, it is a political party), Kamtapur Peoples Party (KPP), Kamtapur Progressive Party (KPP) and Greater Coochbehar Democratic Party (GCDP). </em></p><em> The present paper wishes to explore the facts of contemporary identity politics of Rajbanshis in Coochbehar and also highlights the distribution of power within the political and non-political parties or association in the region. Data has been collected from ten villages selected from the Coochbehar district during 2010 to 2016. Secondary data was also used. Section I deals with regional identity and power. Section II deals with political parties or associations and their structural formation which helps them to establish this regional identity in recent times. Section III deals with politics of forum and also highlights the fact of distribution of power within the northern districts of west Bengal.</em>

Methodology: Both qualitative and quantitative tools were used. Semi-structured questionnaires covering 375 samples of its resident districts Morang, Jhapa and Sunsari districts and check lists for in-depth interview were used in the study. Results: People were adopting both traditional and modern care practices concurrently. Among 375 households; 40% adopted local clinic/ hospital/ traditional healer concurrently. Similarly 31.20% adopted local clinic/ traditional healer/ hospital, 10.67% adopted hospital/traditional healer. There were 11.47% (urban 0.54% and rural 10.93%) respondents were having traditional care system as a first choice. During first delivery among 375 mothers 265 (70.67%) had traditional home delivery and 110 (29.33%) had hospital delivery. During last delivery, this was 115 (30.67%) in traditional home delivery and 260 (69.33%) in hospital delivery. Therefore trend of hospital delivery was increasing whereas trend of traditional home delivery was decreasing. It was statistically highly significant (p=<0.0001). There was also remarkable increased in using trained Health Worker/Nurse/Doctor at hospitals is 66.4% during last delivery which was only 6.13% during first delivery. It is statistically highly significant (p= <.0001). Conclusion: Trend of hospital delivery was increasing (from 30.67% to 69.33%) and trend of home delivery was decreasing (from 69.33% to 29.23%) in between first and last child delivery. There was remarkable increased in using trained HW/Nurse/Doctor at hospitals is 66.4% during last delivery which was only 6.13% during first delivery. Traditional care was more practiced in rural than in urban population. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jonmc.v3i1.10047 Journal of Nobel Medical College Vol.3(1) 2014; 10-15

Abstract:

Feeding and housing play a very significant role in utilizing the real potential of dairy animals as both are prerequisite factors for milk production. The study was conducted in the Coochbehar district of West Bengal to explore the existing feeding and housing management practices followed by Rajbanshi dairy farmers. A total sample size of 200 dairy farm families was taken using multistage random sampling for the present study. It was observed that the majority of dairy farmers (63.00%) followed the system of stall feeding and for feeding green fodder majority (94.50%) of dairy farmers depended on naturally grown vegetation/ pastures. The study revealed that the majority (68.00%) of dairy farmers fed paddy straw as dry fodder followed by 32.00 percent of dairy farmers who fed both paddy straw and wheat straw to their animals. The majority (83.00%) of the dairy farmers did not feed mineral mixtures to their animals. Among animal sheds a vast majority (83.50%) were kaccha and the maximum percentage (87.50%) of the housing systems were single row. The majority (83.00%) of the sheds had a full wall in addition to this the walls were made up of tin sheets (45.00%) as well as jute sticks (37.00%). Rice straw was used as bedding material in the winter season by 62.00% percent of dairy farmers. The existing feeding and housing practices among Rajbanshi dairy farmers need improvement, including increased awareness of fodder cultivation, promotion of home-prepared feed, mineral supplementation, better shed construction, sanitation, and waste management.

Abstract:

Breeding and healthcare management play a significant role in utilizing the full potential of dairy animals. Constant breeding and healthcare development are essential to provide better conditions and improve dairy production and welfare. This study explores the breeding and healthcare management practices adopted by Rajbanshi dairy owners in West Bengal’s Coochbehar district. Utilizing a pre-tested interview schedule, data was collected and subsequently analyzed in terms of frequency and percentage. The findings shed light on key patterns and practices, contributing to a better understanding of dairy management within this specific community. A strong preference (77.00%) for crossbreed cattle emerges in breeding practices meanwhile, heat detection predominantly relies on bellowing and mucus discharge (86.00%) and the pregnancy diagnosis was mostly done by Prani Bondhu (88.64 %). Within healthcare practices, dairy farm families vaccinated their animals by 98.50%, 19.50%, 16.50% and 52.50% of their animals with FMD, HS, BQ and Brucellosis vaccines respectively. Half of the dairy farm families (49.50%) followed deworming practices occasionally. The findings highlight the need for specific training within the dairy farming community on reproductive techniques and disease prevention methods. Also, promoting hygienic practices in animal housing and expanding access to veterinary care can improve overall animal health and farm sustainability.

Abstract:

Introduction: In India majority of the individuals remain undernourished. The primary causes of undernutrition are its large population, socio-economic differences and inadequate access to health facilities. Assessment of nutritional status among adolescents is very important as they are the future parents and constitute a potentially vulnerable segment of the population. The present school-based cross-sectional study evaluates the prevalence of stunting and thinness among adolescent girls from North Bengal.Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out among 500 Rajbanshi adolescent girls aged 9 to 18 years and residing in the districts of Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri in West Bengal, India. Anthropometric measurements of height and weight were recorded and body mass index (BMI) calculated. The prevalence of undernutrition was assessed using recommended anthropometric indices of stunting (low height-for-age) and thinness (low BMI-for-age), along with a comparison with the WHO reference population.Results: The overall prevalence of stunting and thinness was observed to be 39.60% and 26.00% respectively. The prevalence of age-specific stunting was higher and lower among girls aged 17 years (70.21%) and 10 years (24.00%), respectively. The age-specific prevalence of thinness was observed to be higher among those aged 10 years (66.00%) and lower among those aged 17 years (8.51%).Conclusion: There is a need for appropriate nutritional intervention programmes to address their nutritional needs. The results of the present study will also help policy makers to formulate various developmental and health care programmes.J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2016;36(2):147-155.

Abstract:

Objective: This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency among population of selected malaria endemic districts in central and eastern terai of Nepal.Methods: Six hundred seventy whole blood samples were collected from the indigenous peoples community, identified based on district public health office records for G6PDd in the past from Jhapa, Morang and Dhanusha districts endemic to malaria, during April to June 2013. Collected blood samples were tested on the sites by using BinaxNow G6PD test kit and CareStartTM G6PD test kits.Results: The G6PD deficiency was found to be in 6.1% and 6.3% in BinaxNow and CareStartTM respectively. In 42 G6PD deficient cases number of male to female ratio was almost equal. Higher proportions of deficient cases were from Rajbanshi and Santhal communities than others. Highest number of deficient cases was in Jhapa followed by Morang and Dhanusha districts respectively.Conclusion: G6PD deficiency in indigenous population group in eastern and central terai are heterogenous. So the testing of G6PD before initiation of radical treatment of Plasmodium vivax infection would be important for reducing the risk of hemolysis following Primaquine (PQ) administration. Rational evidence-based PQ administration may be helpful in contributing towards the elimination of malaria from the country.

Abstract:

β-thalassemia is the most common autosomal recessive haemoglobin disorder worldwide. Although more than 200 β-thalassemia mutations have been reported, few ethnic group-specific alleles account for 90-93% of the β-thalassemia alleles in each population. The primary purpose of the study was to identify the prevalence of different types of beta-thalassemia mutations in the study group, and to establish a genotype-phenotype correlation. Complete blood count, peripheral blood smeacr, capillary electrophoresis and multiples arms refractory mutation system based polymerase chain reaction (MARMS) were performed on the peripheral blood samples to detect beta mutations at Decode Genomics and Research Centre, Sinamangal Kathmandu. The MARMS-PCR technique was applied for the detection of nine common mutations IVS1- 5(G>C), 619 bp del, FS8/9 (+G), IVS1-1 (G>T), FS 41/42 (-CTTT), C-15 (G>A). FS 16 (-C), C-30 (G>C) and C-5 (-CTCT). In the study group, three mutations, C-15(G>A), C-26 (Glu-Lys) and IVS1-5 (G>C) were detected. The study revealed a characteristic mutational profile in the five ethnic groups of eastern Nepal. It is the first report of HbE in the Koch Rajbanshi of eastern Nepal. The mutation C-15 reported as rare by earlier workers was the most common mutation identified in this research work.

Abstract:

The rich cultural past of the Rajbangshi people is reflected in the historiography of Rajbangshi literature, which offers an engrossing tale. This paper intends to investigate the historical growth and evolution of Rajbangshi literature, highlighting the various socio-cultural influences that have influenced its course.The Rajbangshi people are an indigenous group that is mostly found in the Indian states of West Bengal, Bihar, Assam, and Bangladesh. They have their own distinctive language and culture. Poetry, folk ballads, folk tales, dramas, and novels are just a few of the many genres represented in their literature, all of which offer insights into their social, historical, and political realities. The development of Rajbangshi literature and its interaction with local, linguistic, and colonial factors are critically examined in this historiography. It explores the early oral traditions and folklore idioms that formed the basis for Rajbangshi literary productions. The paper studies the contributions of significant Rajbangshi writers and focuses on their ideological viewpoints, stylistic advances, and subject interests. The study also examines how Rajbangshi literature promotes cultural identity, questions societal norms, and addresses current concerns including immigration, language assimilation, and land rights. It also looks at how important literary movements, including the Bengal Renaissance, impacted the growth of Rajbangshi literature and its interaction with more general literary currents in the area. It aims to contribute to the greater conversation on underrepresented literary traditions by highlighting the socio-cultural importance of Rajbangshi literature within the broader framework of regional literature. This study aims to promote awareness and acknowledgment for this unique literary legacy by providing light on the historical and cultural aspects of Rajbangshi literature. It also emphasises how crucial it is to keep Rajbangshi literature alive and well for future generations in order to maintain the literary landscape's overall richness.

Abstract:

Introduction: The upper arm composition is usually assessed based on total upper arm area (TUA), upper arm muscle area (UMA), upper arm fat area (UFA) and arm fat index (AFI). It is closely associated with assessment of body composition and nutritional status. The present study aims to determine the age specific variations in upper arm composition and its usefulness in the assessment of body composition and nutritional status among adolescent boys.Materials and Methods: The study was conducted among 964 boys (aged 10 – 18 years) and belonging to the indigenous Rajbanshi population of West Bengal, India. The boys were selected from five different sub-urban government secondary schools located under Siliguri subdivision of Darjeeling district, West Bengal, India. The anthropometric measurements of height, weight, MUAC and TSF were recorded and upper arm composition was estimated based on TUA, UMA, UFA and AFI using standard procedures. The overall body composition was evaluated using body mass index (BMI).Results: There appears to be existence of significant age-specific variations in BMI, UMA and UFA as the boys approached higher ages. The age specific means of TUA, UMA and UFA increased with age. The adolescent boys were observed to be well below the 50th percentiles of the reference population in BMI, TUA, UMA, UFA and AFI. Age and sex-specific smooth percentile curves were derived for height, weight, TSF, BMI, UMA and UFA using the L, M and S modelling approach for further evaluation of body composition.Conclusion: The present study recommends the assessment of body composition and nutritional status to improve screening of nutritional status using upper arm composition, especially in community settings so as to accurately identify the risk of lower or greater adiposity and muscularity, and thereby proposing a major opportunity to improve health through proper intervention programmes.J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2015;35(2):152-161

Abstract:

This conference presentation investigates the involvement and function of Rajbansi and Adivasi women in North Bengal's Tebhaga activities. Peasants in Bengal fought for equitable crop distribution and land rights during the Tebhaga movement in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Given that they made up a sizable portion of the agricultural labour force, women's involvement in this movement was essential. The difficulties experienced by Adivasi and Rajbansi women in the movement are examined in this essay, including sexism, class discrimination, and a lack of resources and access to education. Nevertheless, despite these challenges, women's involvement in the Tebhaga movement had a big impact on the fight for social justice and land rights. The Tebhaga movements' contribution to the socioeconomic advancement of Adivasi and Rajbansi women is also covered in this essay. Overall, the study makes the case that Adivasi and Rajbansi women's involvement in the Tebhaga movements had a significant impact on how the peasant fight in North Bengal was shaped, as well as how women's empowerment in the area.

Abstract:

Uncollected trash in the streets and other public areas, trash placed without regard for drainage systems, and trash that has contaminated water sources near uncontrolled dumps all contribute to a hazardous environment and public health situation in Khulna. The Batiaghata thana area, which contains the Rajbandh dump, was analyzed by computing the LST, NDVI, SAVI, and MSAVI. From a low of 23.00°C in 1995, the Batiaghata thana is predicted to reach a high of 41.43°C by 2020, courtesy of the Long Term Observational Dataset (LST). According to the NDVI results, the proportion of 'Bare Soil' in Batiaghata thana increased substantially from 1.20 percent to 4.57 percent, and the percentage of 'Structural Object' climbed from 1.25 percent to 23.06 percent. From 1995 to 2000, the maximum MSAVI value increased from 0.76 to 0.80. Results indicate that inappropriate waste management at the Rajbandh dump negatively affected local ecosystems.

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:

The Koch-Rajbongshis, an indigenous group tracing its origins to the Pre-Vedic era, have left a profound cultural imprint across India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. This paper delves into their historical significance, focusing on their transition from ancient references like Asurs and Kiratas to the establishment of the Koch Kingdom, which played a pivotal role in the sanskritization of their culture. The study mainly explores the vibrant folk culture of the Koch-Rajbongshis, encompassing diverse forms such as Kushan Gan/Nritya, Kartika Nritya, Goalini Nritya, Hudum Pujar Gaan/Nritya, Baas Nritya, Padmapuran Gaan, and Baashi Puran Gaan. Each of these cultural expressions reflects unique aspects of their societal fabric, religious beliefs, and historical narratives. Through an examination of these folk traditions, this paper aims to highlight the rich cultural heritage of the Koch-Rajbongshis, underscoring their distinct identity in the contemporary era.

Abstract:

RésuméLa vague post-moderne semble perdre du terrain et les études historiques dépassant une approche étroitement « culturaliste» ou « discursive» ne sont plus nécessairement considérées comme obsolètes. Pour ceux qui sont demeurés critiques à l’égard des tendances dominantes de la fin des années 1980 et des années 1990, le moment est peut-être venu d’effectuer une évaluation de données qui ne soit plus principalement polémique, mais prenne en compte certaines des avancées historiques récentes grâce à la remise en question d’hypothèses antérieures. Ce n’est que très récemment que le thème des castes, absent des études historiques sur l’Inde «moderne», généralement assimilée à l’Inde coloniale, est sorti de l’oubli. Celles-ci furent longtemps prisonnières du seul binôme colonialisme/anticolonialisme. Les études inspirées par un nationalisme de gauche et plus particulièrement les premiers travaux des Subaltern studies ont utilement enrichi ce modèle en s’attachant aux initiatives autonomes des paysans, des tribaux et des travailleurs et aux tensions existant entre ces poussées et le courant nationaliste dominant. Cet article s’attachera en particulier au développement des projets identitaires variés qui se multiplièrent en Inde à la fin de l’ère coloniale, en se basant sur des données concernant les trois castes actives principales, les Namasudra, les Mahishya et les Rajbansi.
