The Partition of Bengal

Fragile Borders and New Identities

By: Debjani Sengupta

This study looks at the rich literature that has been spawned through the historical imagination of Bengali-speaking writers in West Bengal and Bangladesh through issues of homelessness, migration and exile to see how the Partition of Bengal in 1947 has thrown a long shadow over memories and cultural practices. Through a rich trove of literary and other materials, the book lays bare how the Partition has been remembered or how it has been forgotten. For the first time, hitherto untranslated archival materials and texts in Bangla have been put together to assess the impact of 1947 on the cultural memory of Bangla-speaking peoples and communities. This study contends that there is not one but many smaller partitions that women and men suffered, each with its own textures of pain, guilt and affirmation.

Caste, Colonialism and Counter-Modernity

Caste, Colonialism and Counter-Modernity

Notes on a Postcolonial Hermeneutics of Caste

By: Debjani Ganguly

One prevalent socio-cultural structure that is peculiar to South Asia is caste, which is broadly understood in socio-anthropological terms as an institution of ranked, hereditary and occupational groups. This book discusses the enigmatic persistence of caste in the lives of South Asians as they step into the twenty-first century. It investigates the limits of sociological and secular historical analysis of the caste system in South Asia and argues for ways of describing life-forms generated by caste on the subcontinent that supplement the accounts of caste in the social sciences. By focusing on the literary, oral, visual and spiritual practices of one particular group of ex-untouchables in western India called ‘Mahars’, the author suggests that one can understand caste not as an essence that is responsible for South Asia’s backwardness, but as a constellation of variegated practices that are in a constant state of flux and cannot be completely encapsulated within a narrative of nation-building, modernization and development.

This Thing Called the World

The Contemporary Novel as Global Form

By: Debjani Ganguly

In This Thing Called the World Debjani Ganguly theorizes the contemporary global novel and the social and historical conditions that shaped it. Ganguly contends that global literature coalesced into its current form in 1989, an event marked by the convergence of three major trends: the consolidation of the information age, the arrival of a perpetual state of global war, and the expanding focus on humanitarianism. Ganguly analyzes a trove of novels from authors including Salman Rushdie, Don DeLillo, Michael Ondaatje, and Art Spiegelman, who address wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka, the Palestinian and Kashmiri crises, the Rwandan genocide, and post9/11 terrorism. These novels exist in a context in which suffering's presence in everyday life is mediated through digital images and where authors integrate visual forms into their storytelling. In showing how the evolution of the contemporary global novel is analogous to the European novel’s emergence in the eighteenth century, when society and the development of capitalism faced similar monumental ruptures, Ganguly provides both a theory of the contemporary moment and a reminder of the novel's power.

Miserably Successful No More

Power Over Stress

By: Debjani Mukherjee Biswas

Power Leader and author Debjani Mukherjee Biswas' second book in the 'unity through differences' series asks: "Why is there a global epidemic of the 'miserably successful'." Miserably Successful No More asks how individuals can harness authentic power and emotional intelligence by understanding their unique styles. The author uses an engineering mindset of data harvesting and pattern recognition to identify keys to stress reduction. Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Triggers, Mojo and What Got You Here Won't Get You There endorses the book, saying: "This book is a must have for anyone who is, or wants to be, happy in their success. Success should not be miserable! Mukherjee Biswas teaches you how to alleviate these trappings of success - stress, unhappiness, exhaustion. Success should feel good. Miserably Successful No More explores the challenges of success, how to overcome them and be happy." Based on observations and informal data gathering, key M.I.S.E.R.Y. sources are summarized: Materialism, Incongruence, Stress, Emptiness, Relationships and the 'Yeti' (negative self-talk). An original Communications Style Framework - 'Two Truths and a Lie'- asks: are you a blunt 'hammer', a glossy 'brush' or a skillful 'glue gun' - direct yet strong in relationships? Delving further into the M.I.S.E.R.Y framework, she summarizes key sources of S.T.R.E.S.S: Style, Time, Rx i.e. health, Ego, Surroundings and Substance. Each issue is analyzed, with an array of practical solutions. We examine our purpose, uncover deep-rooted style biases, major stressors and practical, powerful solutions. This is an easy read with structured worksheets, informal ways to process information (customized to style and personality), compelling thought-provoking questions, practical tools and original concepts. About The Author Mukherjee Biswas is a renowned international keynote speaker, inclusion catalyst and trusted advisor of CEOs and global leaders. She has experienced being 'different' at multiple levels - a female engineer in male-normed environments; an Asian in North America. This led her to ask: "Does being different work for, or against one? What are the business costs of style bias and stereotyping?

Empire and Ecology in the Bengal Delta

The Making of Calcutta

By: Debjani Bhattacharyya

What happens when a distant colonial power tries to tame an unfamiliar terrain in the world's largest tidal delta? This history of dramatic ecological changes in the Bengal Delta from 1760 to 1920 involves land, water and humans, tracing the stories and struggles that link them together. Pushing beyond narratives of environmental decline, Bhattacharyya argues that 'property-thinking', a governing tool critical in making land and water discrete categories of bureaucratic and legal management, was at the heart of colonial urbanization and the technologies behind the draining of Calcutta. The story of ecological change is narrated alongside emergent practices of land speculation and transformation in colonial law. Bhattacharyya demonstrates how this history continues to shape our built environments with devastating consequences, as shown in the Bay of Bengal's receding coastline.
