Title A name given to the resource Garib Chasir Paat Chas (Cultivation of Jute by a Poor Farmer) Subject The topic of the resource Bharjatra ((Jatra of a Jester/ Clown) Description An account of the resource The play titled, Garib Chasir Paat Chas (Cultivation of Jute by a Poor Farmer). All the features of “Bharjatra" are discernible in this play as well. This play is interesting like “Exchange of Brides” but it is different from the first one in its portrayal of the socio-economic condition of the farmers. There are abundant element of fun is its dialogue. The use of bawdy is also fairly noticeable. But the sensitive audience cannot afford to miss the representation of poverty of the cultivators in the performance. The play ends up with a moral note: We should not quarrel with each other and should believe in domestic harmony and peace.   Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource UGC-SAP III, DRS Phase II, Department of English, Vidyasagar University Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Monoharpur village (Diger Maaro), P.O Gopmohal, P.S- Ghatal, District- Paschim Medinipur Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available UGC-SAP III, DRS Phase-II, Department of English, Vidyasagar University Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 31.12.2015 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Sri Mohan Das Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource © Department of English, Vidyasagar University Relation A related resource Buffon Play, Performing Arts of Bengal, Performance Studies Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource JPG Image Files, AVCHD Video File Language A language of the resource Bengali Type The nature or genre of the resource Performing Art Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context The Department of English, Vidyasagar University had undertaken a Field Trip to Monoharpur village (Diger Maaro), P.O Gopmohal, P.S- Ghatal, District- Paschim Medinipur on 31.12.2015 under the aegis of UGC-SAP III, DRS Phase II Project entitled "Translation, documentation, and conservation of Tribal Oral Folk Literature and Cultural Texts of West Bengal" Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Folk Performance/ Folk Drama of Bengal https://vuenglishdrs.in/archive/files/original/6013dd2a3944361eeae3d8f8d7895f4f.png 3c0a25e6de5dcd9a91cdb7fb3bc14653 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Bharjatra ((Jatra of a Jester/ Clown) Subject The topic of the resource Bharjatra ((Jatra of a Jester/ Clown) Description An account of the resource Bharjatra is a very popular among the rural audience of Ghatal area of Medinipur. The “Bhar” (Buffoon) obviously has a central role in the performance. It is interesting to note that the “Bhar” often interacts with the audience and the other characters sometimes do the same. The “Bhar” creates jokes at the expense of himself and share private experiences with the gatherings thereby making the audience burnt with laughter. This performance has recently attracted the attention of the State Govt. The artists these days have an access to perform in front of public gatherings in cities including Kolkata. But the present generation is not much attracted to this folk art due to various socio-economic causes.

Title A name given to the resource Bhnarjatra (Jatra of a Jester/ Clown) Subject The topic of the resource Bhnarjatra (Jatra of a Jester/ Clown) Description An account of the resource One of the most endangered folk performances, Bhnarjatra does not belong to the mainstream cultural tradition of the Bengali bhadralok. It has a very distinct artistic and linguistic feature. Most of the performers are from the marginal class of the society and the language of the performance also has a deep rooted connection with this part of society. This specific kind of Jatras can be seen in some parts of the district of Paschim Medinipur of West Bengal. It is said that in the past, gambling was an important part of Bhnarjatra but with the passage of time it ceased to be so. Though it is losing its glamour day by day, it is still very popular among the rural audience. It has recently attracted the attention of the State Govt. and the artists are now getting the chance to perform in front of public gatherings in cities including Kolkata. These plays mainly revolve around two types of themes: religious and social. The Bhnar or the buffoon obviously has the central role in the performance. The characters carry more contemporary references to the names of local places, heroes and heroines. Use of songs is one of the salient features of Bhnarjatra. The plays based on social themes, also called samajik palas, have a comic tone but a didactic end.
