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.

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.
