Event Description : TALK "The Construction of the Hindu Identity in Medieval Western Bengal: The Role of Popular Cults" by Shri Jawhar Sircar.

Speaker: Shri Jawhar Sircar, CEO, Prasar Bharati

The lecture is based on a study of the Dharma cult, one of the major schools of the genre of Mangal Kavyas, and its absorption in the ‘greater tradition’ of Hinduism in medieval western Bengal – from the longer historical perspective. Though it began from an anthropological field study of Jamalpur in Barddhaman district of West Bengal in the 1990s and later covered 271 other sites of the cult – the speaker has expanded his theme to cover the complex terrain of a longer period of social history of the western Rarh region of the undivided Bengal
