Title A name given to the resource Survival and Other Stories: Bangla Dalit Fiction in Translation (2012) Subject The topic of the resource Bangla Dalit Fiction in Translation Description An account of the resource The book is published related to the thrust area in Phase I of the DRS Project conducted in the Department of English, Vidyasagar University. ‘An eternity of oppression’ has defined the lives of Dalits. Yet, they survive, resilient and defiant. Drawing on the works of Dalit writers, Survival and Other Stories is a collection of Bangla fiction in translation, that speaks of Dalit lives lived on the edge and of suffering, negation, and revolt. A mason’s refusal to yield despite being tortured by ‘upper-caste’ people for claiming equality with them; mayhem resulting from a witch doctor’s blaming a woman for the illness of her grandchild; a zamindar being forced to drag a plough for taunting another for his ‘low’ ancestry; a penniless family’s fight for survival with a cobra coiled up in a hole full of grains; a proposal for marriage from the progressive- minded son of a corrupt politician being turned down by his ‘low-born’ lover fearing social ostracism; a sick-wielding hireling of landlords, and later of a political party, reluctantly accepting the friendship of his erstwhile Muslim adversary. Evocative of the indignities heaped on the Dalits, these stories are insightful and perceptive. They are sensitive retelling, that retains the rhythms and idioms of the original Bengali narratives.

The play starts with an invocation to Goddess Kali by the female artist. The theme of the play, as its title suggest, is the exchange of brides by a mistake. The theme is obviously funny and it is intended to give the audience fun and merriment. The element of fun is mostly noticeable in the use of obscene languages and lewd gestures. Sometimes the play on words ([muluk]/[mulo] [peara]/[pyar] etc) creates fun.

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.

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.

Title A name given to the resource Beni Putul / “Beni” Puppet Theater Subject The topic of the resource Beni Putul / “Beni” Puppet Theater Description An account of the resource ‘Glove puppetry’ is a very popular puppet show in India, famous in the states of West Bengal, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh and Kerala. The puppets are usually worn on the hands of the puppeteers like gloves and the performance is shown to the audience with the accompaniment of narrative songs. The performance may be solo or in a group. The narrative songs are usually accompanied with traditional folk music played by dholak or damru. The songs vary from region to region and keep changing according to occasions. Sometimes the lyrics are composed by the puppeteer and sung in imitation of the tune of popular Hindi or Bengali songs. Apart from the mythical stories of Radha-Krishna and other figures, most of their narratives are related to events connected with the daily lives and events of the common human beings. They are performed for purposes of social awareness like pulse polio vaccination, environmental pollution, dowry system, female infanticide or child marriage and women empowerment and education among the masses. Forms of glove-puppetry vary according to regional differences. While in Odisha it is widely known as Sakhi Naach and in Kerala as Pavakathakali or Pavakoothu, in West Bengal it is popularly known as Beni Putul or Bener Putul. Though the performance of glove-puppetry is now endangered in West Bengal and traces of its performance can be seen occasionally in some parts of Murshidabad and the 24 Parganas, it is still a very popular performing art in the East Midnapore district of West Bengal. Particularly, in one of the villages in East Midnapore named Padmatamli (near Mugberia) under the jurisdiction of the Bhupatinagar police station, it is still practiced and performed by a small number of puppeteers.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Kurmis and Kurmali Subject The topic of the resource Linguistic Analysis Cultural Texts and Linguistic Data of Kurmi Community Description An account of the resource A large part of Kurmali vocabulary is certainly the loan-words: i.e. the words which have been borrowed from the dominant languages like Bengali, Hindi, Odiya, Santali etc of the region. Yet the phonological structure of the language does not correspond to any of these languages. Vowels [ɔ], [a], [i], [u], [e], [æ] occurs frequently in Kurmali. We have also found the occurrence of [ɛ] which does not occur in any NIA languages. For example-  Kurmali [t͡ʃɛɽej] ‘bird’ ( It can be easily described as an influence of Austric languages like Santali and Mundari which have this vowel as a regular phoneme.) Some observations on the phonological aspects of Kurmali are as follows. <ol> <li>This language does not allow conjunct. For example-</li> </ol> Ben [maŋʃo]   ̴̴ Kurmali [mas] Ben [dukkho]   ̴̴ kumali [dukh] Ben [mannogɔnno]   ̴̴  kur [mangɔr] To simplify the consonant eiher one of the consonant is lost or a vowel is inserted between the two consonants.   <ol> <li>Retroflex flap [ɽ] is very frequent whereas the other trill sound [r] is not very frequent. Often [l] has changed into [ɽ]. For example-</li> </ol> [phɔl]>[phɔɽ] [ʃijal]>[sijaɽ]   <ol> <li>Kurmali has only one sibilant [s]. Again we have got few instances of palatal sibilant [ʃ], which can be explained as an influence of Bengali.</li> </ol>  Ben [maŋʃo]   ̴̴ Kurmali [mas]   <ol> <li>Excessive instances of nasalization are noticed is this language. For example:-</li> </ol> [tɔ̃e] ‘you’, [ɔ̃e] ‘He/She’, [ãikh] ‘eye’   <ol> <li>We have documented instances of Apinihiti. For example-</li> </ol> [ãkhi]> Kur. [ãikh] [rati]> Kur. [rait] Apinihiti was a regular feature of Middle Bengali. Thus it suggests a relation between kurmali and older stages of Bengali namely old Bengali and early middle Bengali.   Kurmali morphology is very much different from that of the New Indo Aryan language. Especially the inflectional morphology in particular of Kurmali language  has striking distinction with respect to gender.

In West Bengal, Kurmis are found in large numbers in the districts of Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia. The Kurmis of different states have different social and economic status. Regarding the social status of the Kurmis of Bihar, Buchanan said they are "the aboriginal Hindu nations that were not of sufficient consequences to be admitted into the order of Kshatris, but too powerful to be thrust into the dregs of impurity". The original and characteristic occupation of Kurmis is agriculture. For their poor economic condition, some of them also work as daily labourers and personal servants in the households of people belonging to higher castes. The language of the Kurmis is called Kurmali. At present, the Kurmis are very conscious about the preservation of their language and culture. Some Kurmali poets and writers have also emerged with creative works on their language and some fruitful translations of various renowned texts.

Researchers have employed collaborative and crowd-sourced software in the restoration of specific artifacts and environments. These approaches tend to fall within one of three categories: digitally reconstructing objects and landscapes from the past; broadening access to cultural resources through remote distribution platforms, and digitally representing and archiving cultural artifacts. In each, researchers position digitization techniques to support cultural preservation. Even as they contribute to the process of digitizing documentary collections, technologies involving cultural heritage often ignore cultural practices. Technologies for digital preservation can help frame the connections between tradition and progress in a cultural sense. This conference attempts to investigate technology’s possibility of connecting objects to their history and to the people who created them. Documentation and digitization of performances, paintings, and languages of the tribal people of Bengal seek to be connected with the regular cultural practices of the people who produce them. Relevance and methods of digital archiving and preservation of cultural texts and practices will be addressed in the conference. Methods of developing software for phonemic and orthographic representation of indigenous tribal languages will be dealt with in the different sessions of the conference. Speakers will address development of new methods of web hosting and sharing of preserved cultural texts and practices.

The name “Mech”, for instance, is said to have come down from the word “mlechchha”. Another theory suggests that the name was bestowed upon the tribe since they had supposedly crossed the Mechi river from Nepal towards India. The Bodo community in North Bengal is often referred to as Sanjaari by the same tribe living in Nepal, while the same community is referred to as Bardanaari by the Mech tribe. The Mech tribe follows an animistic religion called Bathouism.

The name “Mech”, for instance, is said to have come down from the word “mlechchha”. Another theory suggests that the name was bestowed upon the tribe since they had supposedly crossed the Mechi river from Nepal towards India. The Bodo community in North Bengal is often referred to as Sanjaari by the same tribe living in Nepal, while the same community is referred to as Bardanaari by the Mech tribe. The Mech tribe follows an animistic religion called Bathouism. While the Dhimal community is still fighting for the right to be classified as a tribe, the Bodo community has been classified as a tribe for many years. The community enjoys a special status in Assam, where its script, culture, and literature has been celebrated for many years. The Bodo Sahitya Sabha, which is the parent body of the Paschim Banga Bodo Sahitya Sabha, has served as an important voice in Assamese public life. However, the Mech tribe in North Bengal has not enjoyed much patronage of this kind.

Title A name given to the resource Churia-Churianir Pala Subject The topic of the resource Churia-Churianir Pala Description An account of the resource Churia-Churianir pala is another endangered folk drama of the Sabar community. The folk drama is performed in the parts of Odisha and West Bengal that are situated in the basin of the Subarnarekha river. This is the story of two birds that form married couple. After marriage the male bird, Churia goes abroad in search of food. But he does not come back for twelve years. The female bird, Churiani, then goes out in search of her husband. The husband comes back home and does not find Churiani there; he also leaves home and starts searching for his wife. Facing a lot of tribulations, both of them are united at last. This performance is highly endangered as it does not have any authentic text preserved for posterity. Though some specimens of old written texts in the Odia language and in Bengali script are found, the play is mainly performed in its oral form by the illiterate Sabar farmers and labourers. The performance has several tribal connotations and interesting details of contemporary society, geographical territories, ornaments and ethnic dresses of the Sabar community.

Title A name given to the resource Lalita Shabar Pala Subject The topic of the resource Lalita Shabar Pala Description An account of the resource The Lalita Shabar Pala is the endangered folk representative text of the Kheria Shabar community. The Kheria Shabars are the inhabitants of the western part of West Bengal. They are concentrated in Jhargram, Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia. The Lalita Shabar Pala revolves around the plot of Lalita, the “Shabar duhita” and her marriage with the Brahmin priest Bidyapati. This pala is performed in the Odia language, though the play is written in Bengali script. The king of ‘Angyadesh’ Indradumnya sends Bidyapati in search of lord Vishnu’s effigy. When Bidyapati enters the deep forest of western Bengal, he sees the ‘Shabar kanya’ Lalita and falls in love with her. Lalita gets pregnant and her father Basu Shabar asks Bidyapati to marry her. But Bidyapati refuses to do so as he is a Brahmin, and the Sabars are a lower caste. Bidyapati then narrates the glorious history of the Sabars and their connection with Lord Krishna. Bidyapati marries Lalita. But when he comes to know that Basu Sabar possesses the Vishnu effigy which the king is looking for, he tricks Lalita and informs the king about it. The king comes to the jungle but cannot find the effigy and arrests Basu Shabar. The play shows Brahmins as intruders and usurpers in Shabar culture. The play is said to be written by Damudas but it is not clear who this person actually is and when this play was actually written. This folk drama has many elements in it which inform people about the various ethnic aspects of Shabar culture. The Shabars are now divided into multiple clans. The chief among them is Lodha Shabars. The Shabars were one of the most prominent indigenous people of India who dominated the hills and forests of the Vindhyas and were spread in different clans under the valiant rule of 10sovereign chieftains in the deccan regions of Dandakaranya and in the wooded areas of Orissa and Bengal. They were such a formidable power that the Aryan invaders failed to subjugate them by force and had to perforce take recourse to befriending them before they could advance to places farther south and east of the country. Proof of it is borne by the Vedas; the epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata; Puranic myths; chronicles of Pliny and Ptolemy; treatises by Banvatta; and numerous other folkloric and historical materials. The sacred myths that canonized the Brahmanic cults of Gods and Goddesses had interestingly acknowledged the piety of the Shabars and the predominance of their faith in deities, who in many cases were appropriated by the Vedas. For example, among all the legendary tales sanctifying the seat of Lord Juggernaut of Puri the belief in the Shabar god takes pride of place. According to the Roman historian, Herodotus, the word “Shabar” comes from the Scythian word “Sagris”, meaning the axe, which is the primary instrument used by all sects of the Shabars. The sounds “g’ and “b” being interchangeable in dialectal English, in course of time “sagris” came to be known as ‘sabar’ or “Shabar”. The Lodhas constitute the principal sect of the shabars, who have got their name from the Sanskrit word “Lubdhak”, meaning trap or snare that these people used for hunting animals and birds. During the colonial period, it became part of a colonial design to stigmatize these people as belonging to a criminal sect for the mighty resistance they put up against British imperial ambitions in the south and eastern part of the country.
