History
The Indian Museum originated from the Asiatic Society of Bengal which was created by Sir William Jones in 1784. The concept of having a museum arose in 1796 from members of the Asiatic Society as a place where man-made and natural objects could be collected, cared for and displayed. The objective began to look achievable in 1808 when the Society was offered suitable accommodation by the Government of India in the Chowringhee-Park Street area. In February 2, 1814, Nathaniel Wallich, a Danish botanist, who had been captured in the siege of Serampore but later released, wrote a letter supporting the formation of a museum in Calcutta which he said should have two sections - an archaeological, ethnological and technical section and a geological and zoological one. The Museum was created, with Wallich named the Honorary Curator and then Superintendent of the Oriental Museum of the Asiatic Society. Wallich also donated a number of botanical specimens to the museum from his personal collection. After the resignation of Wallich, curators were paid salaries ranging from Rs 50 to Rs 200 a month. Until 1836 this salary was paid by the Asiatic Society but in that year its bankers, Palmer and Company became insolvent and the Government began to pay from its public funds. A temporary grant of Rs 200 per month was sanctioned for maintenance of the museum and library, and J. T. Pearson of the Bengal Medical Service was appointed curator followed shortly by John McClellandand after his resignation by Edward Blyth. In 1840, the Government took a keen interest in the geology and mineral resources and this led to an additional grant of Rs 250 per month for the geological section alone. A new building became a need and this was designed by Walter R Granville and completed in 1875 for the cost of Rs 1,40,000. In 1879 it received a portion of the collection from the India Museum (South Kensington) when that collection was dispersed. The Zoological and Anthropological sections of the museum gave rise to the Zoological Survey of India in 1916, which in turn gave rise to the Anthropological Survey of India in 1945. The Scottish anatomist and zoologist John Anderson took up the position of curator in 1865, and catalogued the mammal and archaeology

The Memory Keeper: Remembering Partition Through Objects | Aanchal Malhotra | TEDxBangalore
Using her own family as a starting point, Aanchal Malhotra began writing an alternative history of the Partition of India in 1947, using material ethnography- the objects that refugees carried with them to either side of the border as they fled their homes- to weave a landscape of Undivided India.
A string of pearls gifted by a Maharaja, carried from Dalhousie to Lahore, revealed the grandeur of a life that once was. A refugee certificate created in Calcutta evoked in a daughter the feelings of displacement her father had once experienced upon leaving Mymensingh, now in Bangladesh. Through her work, Malhotra attempts to create an archive of objects that tell us about migration, displacement and the circumstances surrounding the Great Divide. Aanchal Malhotra is a Delhi-based artist and oral historian working with memory and material culture. Her main area of research has been to archive the objects and belongings that refugees brought across the border with them during the Partition of India in 1947, in order to create an alternative lens to understand displacement and migration. She is the co-founder of the Museum of Material Memory and author of 'Remnants of a Separation: A History of the Partition of India through Material Memory'. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at

The Story Of The Human Zoos In Urdu Hindi | Documentary
Human zoos, also called ethnological expositions, were 19th-, 20th-, and 21st-century public exhibitions of humans, usually in a so-called natural or primitive state. The displays often emphasized the cultural differences between Europeans of Western civilizationand non-European peoples or with other Europeans who practiced a lifestyle deemed more primitive. Some of them placed indigenous populations in a continuum somewhere between the great apes and Europeans. Ethnological expositions are sometimes criticized and ascertained as highly degrading and racist, depending on the show and individuals involved

The Communicative Dynamics of Painting: Art as Activism, Part 3
Joan Marie Kelly, Nanyang Technological University School of Art Design and Media, Singapore
This presentation discusses collaborative methodologies using art as a form of activism. Combining art practice and the creation of the artifact with the sociological and cultural analysis of the interaction of the artist and the immediate milieu of the subject, Artist Joan Kelly and cultural theorist, Dr. Bhaskar Mukhopadhyay have pursued an investigation into the communicative dynamics of painting. The purpose of the art practice is not simply to create art but to generate an encounter. The enterprise is more ethnographic than mimetic. Thus, in this conceptualization, portraiture becomes a form of 'conceptual art. Through engagement with marginal communities - sex-workers, immigrant workers, the point is to reclaim this group from social oblivion: to give each of them a 'face'. The normal and normative social gaze leaves these people out of its purview and the result is that there is no awareness in the public domain as to what is going on inside these social groups. The purpose is thus to break the barriers that separate us from them. By bringing together the artist, the theorist and the subject and by putting the results into a participative public domain (we invite the subjects and their friends and relatives in the exhibitions and presentations so that they can comment on their own portraits) we have been able to bring in social integration and moral cohesion. Art here is a vehicle of activism. The aim is to create a space through the use of art that will induce the subject to narrate their personal narratives, their anxieties, their attitudes towards economic and social class, towards family and the state. We wish to find out about the stigmas that they have suffered, their attitude towards sexuality, gender, race, etc. This art as a vehicle of activism has been carried out in the Red light districts of Singapore and the brothels of Kolkata.

SUMMARY
=======
Bangladesh ( ( listen); Bengali: বাংলাদেশ Bangladesh [ˈbaŋladeʃ] ( listen), lit. The country of Bengal), officially the People's Republic of Bangladesh (গণপ্রজাতন্ত্রী বাংলাদেশ Gônoprojatontri Bangladesh), is a country in South Asia. It shares land borders with India and Myanmar (Burma).The country's maritime territory in the Bay of Bengal is roughly equal to the size of its land area. Bangladesh is the world's eighth most populous country. Dhaka is its capital and largest city, followed by Chittagong, which has the country's largest port. Bangladesh forms the largest and easternmost part of the Bengal region. Bangladeshis include people from a range of ethnic groups and religions. Bengalis, who speak the official Bengali language, make up 98% of the population. The politically dominant Bengali Muslims make the nation the world's third largest Muslim-majority country. Islam is the official religion of Bangladesh.Most of Bangladesh is covered by the Bengal Delta, the largest delta on Earth. The country has 700 rivers and 8,046 km (5,000 mi) of inland waterways. Highlands with evergreen forests are found in the northeastern and southeastern regions of the country. Bangladesh has many islands and a coral reef. The longest unbroken sea beach of the world, Cox's Bazar Beach, is located in the southeast. It is home to the Sundarbans, the largest mangrove forest in the world. The country's biodiversity includes a vast array of plant and wildlife, including endangered Bengal tigers, the national animal.
The Greeks and Romans identified the region as Gangaridai, a powerful kingdom of the historical Indian subcontinent, in the 3rd century BCE. Archaeological research has unearthed several ancient cities in Bangladesh, which enjoyed international trade links for millennia. The Bengal Sultanate and Mughal Bengal transformed the region into a cosmopolitan Islamic imperial power between the 14th and 18th centuries. The region was home to many principalities that made use of their inland naval prowess. It was also a notable center of the global muslin and silk trade. As part of British India, the region was influenced by the Bengali renaissance and played an important role in anti-colonial movements. The Partition of British India made East Bengal a part of the Dominion of Pakistan; and renamed it as East Pakistan. The region witnessed the Bengali Language Movement in 1952 and the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. After independence was achieved, a parliamentary republic was established. A presidential government was in place between 1975 and 1990, followed by a return to parliamentary democracy. The country continues to face challenges in the areas of poverty, education, healthcare and corruption.
Bangladesh is a middle power and a developing nation. Listed as one of the Next Eleven, its economy ranks 43rd in terms of nominal gross domestic product and 29th in terms of purchasing power parity. It is one of the largest textile exporters in the world. Its major trading partners are the European Union, the United States, China, India, Japan, Malaysia and Singapore. With its strategically vital location between South, East and Southeast Asia, Bangladesh is an important promoter of regional connectivity and cooperation. It is a founding member of SAARC, BIMSTEC, the Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar Forum for Regional Cooperation and the Bangladesh Bhutan India Nepal Initiative. It is also a member of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, Commonwealth of Nations, the Developing 8 Countries, the OIC, the Indian-Ocean Rim Association, the Non Aligned Movement, the Group of 77 and the World Trade Organization. Bangladesh is one of the largest contributors to United Nations peacekeeping forces.
