For constructing the medieval political history of Cooch Behar, also known as Koch Bihar, the Persian manuscript of Bah rist n-i-Ghaybī, discovered in 1919 by Jadunath Sarkar in the Bibliothèque Nationale of Paris, is very significant. This text facilitates our understanding of important historical events in eastern India during the time of Mughal Emperor Jahangir (1601–27). The text also provides important details of peasants’ revolts during the Mughal occupation, with remarkable implications until recent times regarding border relations between India and Bangladesh. The article examines the historical facts presented in this important text and corroborates them with other sources to argue that this text should be read as a chronicle for the history of warfare, society and peasants’ life in the region throughout the seventeenth century, with significant implications for later historical developments in Cooch Behar.

40Ar–39Ar incremental heating studies on mineral separates from three sets of rocks in the Singbhum craton in eastern India have helped unravel the thermochronometric history of the terrane and explain an earlier discrepancy between Sm–Nd (~3800 Ma) and Rb–Sr (~3100 Ma) whole-rock ages for the Older Metamorphic Tonalitic Gneiss (OMTG). High precision plateau ages for hornblende separates from the Older Metamorphic Group of rocks (OMG) suggest that this unit is older than 3300 Ma and that enclaves of both the OMTG and OMG within the batholithic complex cooled to ~500 °C at 3300 ± 15 Ma following engulfment in magma, forming the Singbhum Granite (SG). Results from a biotite separate from the OMTG imply that slow cooling continued to a temperature of ~300 °C at ~3160 Ma. Study of a feldspar separate from the Singbhum Granite, suggests final cooling (uplift?) through the ~150 °C isotherm ~660 Ma ago.We suggest that an earlier Rb–Sr whole-rock age of 3130 ± 85 Ma on the OMTG did not yield the crystallisation age, but rather the time of cooling to strontium retention temperature for the biotite in these rocks. We also demonstrate that for hornblende and mica from Archean rocks, 40Ar–39Ar incremental heating experiments can yield very high precision plateau ages (e.g., ± 2 to ± 5 Ma at 3300 Ma). In practice, however, we suggest this technique can separate events in the early Archean spaced ~30 Ma apart.

Microsatellite Marker Analysis

The secret art of silk culture along with mulberry seeds is presumed to have spread from China to other parts of the world including India through the famous Silk Road. In this study, we investigated a set of 36 important mulberry genotypes (designated as ‘breeders’ collection’) of historical importance that have been frequently used in Indian crop improvement programmes over the last five decades. This study is the first to employ a large number of microsatellite markers (140 screened; 70 used for profiling) to elucidate the diversity, structure and breeding history of mulberry. The cluster and STRUCTURE analysis corroborated with the known genetic relationships and origin. The groupings by STRUCTURE (k= 4) confirm parallel breeding efforts undertaken in the eastern, southern and northern regions of the country. The cultivar ‘Mysore Local’ shares a common parent with ‘Berhampore Local’, and this supports the historical records of its introduction from eastern India to the Kingdom of Mysore by the erstwhile ruler Tippu Sultan. The popular variety ‘Kanva-2’ shared a common male parent with the Japanese variety ‘Kousen’, supporting the contribution of exotic progenitors in Indian cultivars. The findings of this study will be useful in formulating new strategies for mulberry improvement and reveals the historical events of the introduction and spread of cultivated mulberry in the Indian subcontinent.

King Anaṅgabhīma III, the veritable founder of the Gajapati kingship and of the Jagannātha trinity at Puri

The year A.D. 1230 is one of the most decisive dates in the religious and political history of Eastern India. King Anaṅgabhīma of the Imperial Gaṅgas ritually dedicated his kingdom to the god Puruṣottamma-Jagannātha of Puri and acknowledged the divinity of Puri both as the sole state deity of Orissa and as his divine overlord. Henceforward Anaṅgabhīma and his successors claimed to rule under divine order (ādeśa) and as son (putra) and vassal (rāuta) of the Lord of Puri. It was most probably during the same year that Anaṅgabhīma introduced the deity Balabhadra into the present Jagannātha trinity of Puri. Thus the year 1230 marks both the establishment of the ideology of the Gajapati kingship of Orissa, and the final formation of the Jagannatha cult of Puri.

ABSTRACT Cardiac transplant is a life-saving procedure and with the advancement in technology, it is rapidly becoming available for patients in all corners of the world. As the heart transplant program is extended to Eastern India, this is an opportune moment to look back on the history of this medical miracle and how we reached the current level of excellence. this article is a brief recount of that illustrious history.
