Book Synopsis On the Origin of Hindu Festivals by : Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay
Download or read book On the Origin of Hindu Festivals written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-16 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rishi Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay (26 June 1838 - 8 April 1894) was a Bengali writer, poet and journalist. He was the composer of India's national song Vande Mataram, originally a Bengali and Sanskrit stotra personifying India as a mother goddess and inspiring the activists during the Indian Independence Movement. Chattopadhyay wrote thirteen novels and several 'serious, serio-comic, satirical, scientific and critical treaties' in Bengali. His works were widely translated into other regional languages of India as well as in English. Born to an orthodox Brahmin family, Chattopadhyay was educated at Hooghly Mohsin College founded by Bengali philanthropist Muhammad Mohsin and Presidency College, Calcutta. He was one of the first graduates of the University of Calcutta. From 1858, until his retirement in 1891, he served as a deputy magistrate and deputy collector in the Government of British India. Chattopadhyay is widely regarded as a key figure in literary renaissance of Bengal as well as India. Some of his writings, including novels, essays and commentaries, were a breakaway from traditional verse-oriented Indian writings, and provided an inspiration for authors across India. When Bipin Chandra Pal decided to start a patriotic journal in August 1906, he named it Vande Mataram, after Chattopadhyay's song. Lala Lajpat Rai also published a journal of the same name.

Book Synopsis Puja at the Crossroads by : Semontee Mitra
Download or read book Puja at the Crossroads written by Semontee Mitra and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My doctoral dissertation, Puja at the Crossroads: A Transnational Ethnography of Hindu Festivals in the United States, uses the difference between Hindu religious festivals in India and the United States to interpret how the first- and the second-generation Indian Americans are shaped by and respond to the social, political, religious, and historical dynamics of the United States of America. I analyze how the everyday struggles and social and psychological conflicts of Indian Americans in the United States are reflected through these festivals. I also examine the intergenerational tensions within Hindu homes, and how these have shaped festive practices. From a transnational perspective, I analyze the role played by various global religious organizations in the religious adaptations of immigrants. The knowledge gained through interviews and observation also contributes to the debate of religiosity of these festivals. The carnivalesque nature of these religious celebrations brings out the intimate connection that exists between commerce and religion, fashion and festival, and celebration and consumption. The virtual space provided by the digital media plays a unique role in the religious life of immigrants and has redefined the meaning and the nature of religion and religious festivals.Furthermore, my research also adds to the scholarly discussions on Hindu womens role in the family and society. Indian society is a closely-knit society and womens actions, activities, and choices are strongly guided by the traditional code of conduct constructed for women and are inextricably linked to family prestige and honor. The twenty-first century has brought a vast change to the role that women play within and outside the household. Many women receive education, hold high professional positions, and are economically independent, but the basic paradigm of traditional gender roles remains the same and is fostered through various religious festivals and rituals. Womens roles change further as they move out of their homeland and live in the United States. Here they are not just daughters, wives, mothers, and professionals; they are the keepers of Hindu tradition. It is the duty of the women in the family to uphold, retain, and transfer Hindu traditions and values to their American-born children. However, a close study of womens role in these religious festivals have indicated that women living in the United States have started questioning the traditional practices, which in turn questions the patriarchal construction of womanhood as a whole. Identifying the subtle changes taking place in the life of Hindu women in the United States is of crucial importance as it helps in gaining deeper understanding of the impact of American cultural values on minority community families, which in turn allows better assessment of the process of assimilation of Indian Americans into American society.My dissertation will be a unique contribution to the field of American Studies and Asian American Studies because Hindu religious festivals in the United States are budding issues of research. Only a few scholarships are available on Hindu festivals celebrated in the United States. Scholars like John Fenton, Peggy Levitt, and Prema Kurien have works on transplantation and sustenance of Indian religions, traditions, and cultures in the United States, but those have a vast scope and discuss about all Indian religious experiences in America in general. Specific festivals have not been studied yet in detail. My work, therefore, will bring to the forefront the various layers of meanings associated with Indian Americans.
