Rich tradition, poor response
Dinesh Ray talks to Anjana Rajan about lesser known music traditions of the Koch Rajbongshi community
Dinesh Ray, a researcher and collector of ancient instruments of the Koch Rajbongshi
people, is a treasure house of rare knowledge, while his daughter
Anindita Ray plays a number of these instruments. She also sings and dances in performances of fading traditions such as Tukkha gaan, Jugi gaan and others.
The father and daughter, who live in Jalpaiguri in West Bengal, were in New Delhi recently along with their group to perform music and dance at a seminar on Koch Rajbongshi History and Cultural Tradition.
“I started recording these traditions
for LPs and EPs in 1984,” says Ray. “Before this, Harish Chandra Pal
was the only person who made such recordings. He died in 1982, and after
him there was no one.”
It was hard at first to convince a recording
label to sign him, as he was an unknown entity to them.

Also known as Kamtapuri and Tajpuri, the Rajbanshi language bears a striking resemblance to the Bengali and Nepali languages and uses a script that the Rajbanshis say is also the foundation of the Bengali language.“It took me four months. For the translation, I used the original Sanskrit, Nepali and Hindi versions,” Pawan Rajbanshi told IANS.

Food Processing by Rajbanshi Indigenous People of North Bengal, India
Author: Ashok Das Gupta (University
of North Bengal)
Rajbanshi social fold comprising of
both caste and communities constitute 18% of total population of North Bengal,
India. They are in favour of irrigation (small and broad scale), sacred grove,
fencing and lattice, highland and marshland, river basins and valleys, kitchen
garden, etc. They are too good with the complex production systems of crops,
cereals, vegetables, rapeseeds, honey, bamboo, liquor and sugar yielding
varieties, medicinal herbs, fruits, mushrooms, lichen, livestock, fish, crab,
small fish, mud fish, prawn as well as fiber, silk, silk cotton, drinks, areca,
betel and tobacco. They are fond of meat, milk, egg and fish. These flora and
fauna are again source of fuel, fodder, natural dye, and pesticides.
Rajbanshis is traditional life used
to go through barter and reciprocity. Women are involved in preserving fish,
paddy, fruit and milk items. In fish and paddy preservation, they use arum.
Fruits are preserved in dried or as pickles. They do not waste their organic
waste and use them as manure associated with ash, light trap, food-web and
natural insecticides. They have developed crop rotation, legume plants and
mixed cultivation. They still remember shifting cultivation and bush-fallow
cultivation. Further, they have produced complex production systems involving
varieties of flora and fauna (such
as mango-pineapple, areca-betel nut, rice-fish, and duck-snail- fish).
Alternative food sources that
Rajbanshis do not put in priority are toad/frog, eel, snails and boar. They do
not eat cow for religious reasons.
Kinship Relationship
Societies are the networks of two types of kinship relations. The gotiyars or bansaj are the relationships of blood. All the kin relations in this type are defined with blood relation and the principle of inheritance follows through this line only. The gotiars or bansajs are usually belonging to a same clan and worship a common ancestor spirits and common house deities. For hill people, the common dewali or kul pooja (lineage or clan worship) which is carried out either annually or once a three years period generally distinguishes the bansaj kin groups. Usually all the bansaj people are present in such pooja and show great respect to their ancestor. Among gotiyar or bansaj all are invited on all life cycle ceremonies and their presence is more or less obligatory in life crisis ceremony.
“Ragat pani bhanda rato hunshha” (blood is red than water) is the common saying among the gotiyars group. That is a biological link of consanguinity, is a powerful bond of solidarity, mutual help, and reciprocity usually stronger than most other links. But there is a great deal of feeling of jealousy, unholy competition and fragmentation among the people of same gotiyar and bansaj in practice. People again equally say that “satru ko anuhar hernu chha bhane dajubhai ko here pugchha”, that is, if you want to see the faces of an enemy, just go and see the faces of your brothers. These are the examples of paradoxes that have been shaping the societies and cultures within the societies.

Shree Krishna Janmashtami
Krishna Janmashtami is the celebration of the birth of Lord Shri Krishna,
the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who is believed to have been born about
five thousand years ago in Mathura in 'Dwapar Yuga'. Krishna
Janmashtami is also known as Ashtami Rohini, Srikrishna Jayanti,
Krishnashtami, Saatam Aatham, Gokulashtami and sometimes simply as
Janmashtami. It is essentially a Hindu festival. The festival is
generally observed on Ashtami tithi, the eighth day of the dark half or
Krishna Paksha of the month of Bhadrapada in the Hindu calendar, when
the Rohini Nakshatra is ascendant. This is usually in the months of
August and September in the Gregorian calendar. The festival is
celebrated with great enthusiasm and vigor by Hindus all over India and
abroad. People observe fast the whole day, sing hymns and conduct
prayers at midnight to rejoice the birth of Lord. Ras lila, dramatic
enactments of the life of Krishna, are a special feature that is
showcased in every part of the country, as it re-creates the
flirtatious aspects of Krishna's youthful days. Another interesting
aspect of Krishna Janmashtami is the practice of Dahi-Handi. This game
portrays the playful and mischievous side of Krishna, where teams of
young men form human pyramids to reach a high-hanging pot of butter and
break it. Rakhi-The Thread of Love
The chaste bond of love between a brother and a sister is one of the deepest
and noblest of human emotions. 'Raksha Bandhan' or 'Rakhi' is a special occasion
to celebrate this emotional bonding by tying a holy thread around the wrist.
This thread, which pulsates with sisterly love and sublime sentiments, is rightly
called the ‘Rakhi’. It means 'a bond of protection', and Raksha
Bandhan signifies that the strong must protect the weak from all that’s
evil.
The ritual is observed on the full moon day of the Hindu
month of Shravan, on which sisters tie the sacred Rakhi string on
their brothers' right wrists, and pray for their long life. Rakhis are ideally
made of silk with gold and silver threads, beautifully crafted embroidered sequins,
and studded with semi precious stones.
HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE?
Let's say it's 6.15pm and you're going home (alone of course),
after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!!
Rajbanshi V/s Bengali In Bangladesh
Introduction
/ History
Most of the
Bengali groups are easily defined by their common language, Bengali. However,
there are several smaller tribes who are also referred to as Bengali, but speak
languages other than Bengali. Their languages belong to the Assamese-Bengali
sub-group of the Indo-Aryan language family and include these groups: the
Hajong and Kishanganjia of India, the Hajong and Tajpuri of Bangladesh, and the
Rajbanshi and Kayort of Nepal.
The Hajong originated in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh, and then migrated north. Today, most of them live in east central Bangladesh, primarily in the northern part of the Mymensingh district, which lies on the southern slopes of the Garo Hills. From there, some immigrated into India and now live in the states of Assam, West Bengal, and Arunachal Pradesh. Unfortunately, many of those who now live in Arunachal Pradesh are in danger of being evicted, even though they have been settled there for 30 years. The Tajpuri live in the plains of Rangpur, which is located in northern Bangladesh near the border of India.
How Deshis and Adhivasis are Becoming Sukumbasis (landless). ??
A pahade family from the eastern hill migrated to plain ground around latter sixties. At beginning he purchased one or two bighas of land from a Rajbanshi jimidar and settled cultivating this. His hill background with fairly good literacy status and his connection with local government offices specifically with thanas (police station) provided him opportunities to expand his influence among the rajbanshis, adhibasis and madhises of plain ground. He then started money-lending business and invested some amount among these people with very high interest rate. Since rajbanshi, adhibasi have some social and cultural occasions, which need a lot of money, he easily succeeded to multiply his business within a few years.
It is reported that he had cheated many people of plain area giving less amount at the time of loan negotiation and writing more amount in the tamasuk (contract document) so that rajbanshis, adhibasis and illiterate peoples had to payback more money than they actually had borrowed. Most of them were illiterate and did lapche (finger print) without properly knowing the content of the tamasuk. After few years, with the high interest rate the amount became large enough to payback for debtors, then without any other choice they had to sell their land and pay back the loan.

Chiura and Muri in Rajbanshi World
Flattened/Flaked rice (also called beaten rice) is a dehusked rice which is flattened into flat light dry flakes. These flakes of rice swell when added to liquid, whether hot or cold, as they absorb water, milk or any other liquids.
The beaten rice in rajbanshi word called as Chiura. Chiura and muri are also the indigenous food of Nepal. Though it's popular through out Nepal, it's indigenous to Rajbanshi community of Nepal. Chiura is prepared by boiling the paddy with suitable amount of water. The paddy is then drained and dried and roasted and flaked. Traditionally flaking is done in Dhiki or Okhli but today mills are also available. It's mostly consumed as a breakfast and has great importance in some of the festival like Dashain, Ashar 15 (special day to take dahi and chiura).
Dahi Chiura :- Beaten rice is cleaned with water to make it little bit soft and yogurt and sugar is added over that. This way of eating flattened rice is famous among rajbanshi community, and it is eaten as a first meal during festival times.
A traditional puffed rice called muri is made by heating rice in a sand-filled oven. Muri is to rice as popcorn is to corn. The processing involved makes rice less perishable. Muri is a staple food in many parts of Nepal, India and Bangladesh. Jhalmuri or Masalamuri or Bhelpuri is a very popular preparation made from muri.

महिला सभासद्लाई प्रेम प्रस्ताव राख्ने घटे, भर्जिनिटी जोगाउने चिन्ता
२ फागुन, काठमाडौं । २९ वर्षकी सभासद् मिलन राजवंशी प्रेमबारे बोल्न संकोच मान्नु हुँदैन भन्ने मान्यता राख्छिन् । प्रेमबारे खुलस्त बोल्न खोजे पनि ‘अहिलेसम्म प्रेममा परेकी छैन’ भन्ने उनको भनाइले उनलाई ‘फ्रयांकनेस’लाई सन्देशास्पद बनाइदिएको छ । प्रेममा नपरे पनि कैयौं प्रेम र बिहे प्रस्तावलाई उनले लत्याइसकेकी छिन् ।
‘आई लभ यु र तिमीसँग बिहे गर्छु भन्ने कति आए कति,’ मन्द मुस्कुराउँदै उनी सुनाउँछिन्, ‘तर मैले मानिनँ ।’ सभासद् हुनु उनको ‘प्रेम जीवन’का निम्ति फलिफाप भएनछ । भन्छिन् ‘खै किन हो, सभासद् बनेपछि प्रेम प्रस्ताव गर्ने ह्वात्तै घटेका छन् ।
सभासद् हुनुपूर्व उनीमाथि चारैतिरबाट प्रेम प्रस्ताव ओइरिन्थ्यो रे ! ‘कहिलेकाँही त हैरान नै हुन्थ्येँ,’ उनी भन्छिन्, ‘अहिले त्यस्ता अनावश्यक झन्झटबाट मुक्त भएकी छु ।’ हँसिलो अनुहारकी राजवंशी नेपाल परिवार दलको समानुपातिक सिटअन्तर्गत सभासद बनेकी हुन् ।
अमेरिकाबाट चारबर्षे ‘इन्टरनेसनल लिडरसिप ट्रेनिङ कोर्स’ सिध्याएर ०६७ मा देश फर्केपछि राजवंशीमाथि प्रेमप्रस्ताव बढी ओइरिन थालेको हो । उनले हरेक प्रस्तावलाई आलटाल गरिन् ।

Sivaratri !!
 |
Sivaratri, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is celebrated on the moonless night of the month of Phalguna, which is the fourteenth day in the krishnapaksha or dark half. Owing to a special planetary conjunction, spiritual practices done on this day are considered to be especially auspicious and beneficial. There is a reference to this in one of the Puranas, where Shiva himself tells Parvati Devi [the Divine Mother] that this day is particularly dear to him, and that those who perform the prescribed austerities on this day will be freed from all sins.

Saraswati: Goddess of Knowledge & Arts
Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge and arts, represents
the free flow of wisdom and consciousness. She is the mother of the Vedas,
and chants to her, called the 'Saraswati Vandana' often begin and end Vedic
lessons.
Saraswati is the daughter of Lord Shiva and Goddess Durga. It is
believed that goddess Saraswati endows human beings with the powers of speech,
wisdom and learning. She has four hands representing four aspects of human
personality in learning: mind, intellect, alertness and ego. She has sacred
scriptures in one hand and a lotus – the symbol of true knowledge – in the
second.
With her other two hands she plays the music of love and
life on a string instrument called the veena. She is dressed in white – the symbol of purity – and
rides on a white swan – symbolizing Sattwa Guna or
purity and discrimination. Saraswati is also a prominent figure in Buddhist
iconography - the consort of Manjushri.
The learned and the erudite attach greater importance to
the worship of goddess Saraswati. As a practice, only educated people worship
her for knowledge and wisdom. They believe that only Saraswati can grant them
'moksha' - the final liberation of the soul.
Saraswati's birthday - Vasant Panchami - is
a Hindu festival celebrated every year on the 5th day of the bright fortnight
of the lunar month of Magha. Hindus celebrate this
festival with great fervor in temples, homes and educational institutes alike.
