Abstract:
The aim of the article is to represent “Discovery of Hinduism” as a specific phenomenon of religious thought in the Bengal Renaissance of modern India. The phenomenon is a part of “Discovery of India” (Jawaharlal Nehru’s term) by Indian intellectuals, who thought on their country, society, civilization, history, and its future. The term “Hinduism” borrowed from the British missionaries and orientalists became convenient for the Bengal Renaissance intellectuals to think and comprehend their own native religious tradition. Based on the works by the Bengal Renaissance thinkers, the paper presents

Abstract:
The development of feminism and women’s emancipation in colonial India shows various trajectories and inner sources of the process within the regions occupied by a ‘larger society’ going through modernization. The first variant appeared in colonial Bengal — a peripheral region relative to the center of Brahminical order and a place where Indian and Western culture conjoined back in the 18–19th centuries. A system of rigid constraints of women’s freedom and rights emerged within the local patriarchal society, especially in the high strata, coming from a perspective of ritual purity and men’s ‘s

Abstract:
Through his poems and radical views, pioneering Bengal Renaissance artist Henry Louis Vivian Derozio helped to greatly shape the intellectual and cultural consciousness of 19th-century Bengal. Reflecting his great interaction with Enlightenment principles and humanist thought, his poetic compositions capture the spirit of rationalism, patriotism, and social reform. Emphasizing themes like independence, self-awakening, and opposition against dogma, this dissertation critically analyzes Derozio’s poetry as a philosophical medium that captures the spirit of the Bengal Renaissance.

The Kalighat Paintings developed to depict a range of themes ranging from mythological characters to depictions of the social scene. The paintings served as a kind of mirror of the society in which they worked. Under the influence of an increasingly growing European society, they underwent a transformation. The

Abstract:
The modernity of the progressive writers has long borne the blame for being indebted to the Western trends of modernist thoughts. This article engages in challenging this notion by tracing the roots of Islamic modernity to the qasbati tradition of medieval eastern culture and its residual traces in 18th and 19th century India. The pre-Renaissance Muslim cultures in the Middle East and South Asia during the Caliphate rulers had a high intellectual heritage which propagated to India during the Mughals and concentrated within the qasbahs, thus resulting in the formation of a unique literary and c

Abstract:
Bengali Muslim women in colonial Bengal were among the most disadvantaged, economically impoverished and marginalized section of the society. In the traditional Bengali Muslim society, women were the victims of the age-old bondage and were segregated completely, from the outside world. The so-called Quranic injunction and fatwas imposed on them by the orthodox Mullahs and Maulanas prevented most of the Muslim women from receiving the rudiments of education. Throughout the nineteenth century, there were strong prejudices against Muslim women’s education and even in the early twentieth cen

The idea of the world is a dynamic phenomenon, and the development of world literature is tied to both literary and extra-literary events. Worldwide literary centers can be found in many locations spanning both time and space. The concept of the world, or Visva (Sanskrit), is considerably older even if world literature has been a discursive framework that has affected the literary structures of many languages around the world since the 19th century. “Vasudhaiba Kutumbakam,” or the universal neighborhood, is a term from ancient Indian literature that attests to the age of the concept of Vasudha

Abstract:
This thesis constructs a history of reading for South Asia (1857-1914) through an examination of the eccentric relationships that marginal colonial agents and subjects - soldiers, peasants, office clerks and women - developed with everyday forms of writing. Drawing on the methodologies of the history of the book, and literary and cultural histories, it creates a counterpoint to the dominant view of imperial self-fashioning as built on reading intensively and at length. Instead, it contends that the formation of identities in colonial South Asia, whether compliant or dissenting, was predicated

This chapter does two things that are important to create a starting point from which to think about modern Hinduism. First, it gives a broad overview of the fundamental transformations that took place in the politics, economy, education, and cultural life of Bengal at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries. This is the part of India where British colonialism first covered extensive territory, and where many of the political and intellectual reactions to the colonial situation, and to other forces of globalization, would start.
