Masud Ranaranatextile11@yahoo.com<p>There have been revolutionary changes in the arts, literature and culture of Bengal during the post-Polasshey battle period. As the British interfered with the rule and government system, the then Muslims left no stone unturned to protect the so-called religious values cherished by Muslims. During this time the British brought about a lot of administrative reformation by passing and enacting newer laws in order to ensure their power long lasting. Although the British started ruling the Bengal with the purpose of trade and commerce at the beginning, later on they started ruling for political gains. They formulated laws that were suited to the existing society and culture and so the influence of newer forms of culture increased gradually. Although the local Muslims rejected the arts, education and culture of the British merchants, the Hindu community soon accepted them and became successful in attaining the satisfaction and favourism of the British. Thus, the Hindus solely succeeded in playing a great role in influencing the administration. After a further deterioration of the Muslims in the administrative role in the 19<sup>th</sup> century, the Muslim leaders realized the situation and they took some timely decisions. As a result, an introduction to Muslim renaissance started along with the changes of their previous negligence. By that time, the youths of the Hindu community, patronized by the British merchants and ruling community, have gained sole control in most of the social indexes including trade and commerce, education and job sectors. During this period, there arose a complicated proximity in the relationship between the Hindus and the Muslims and a result, a great change went through the socio-cultural aspects. The Muslims participated in some minor to significant rebellious movements against the British to get rid of the antagonistic/contradictory behavior, discrimination and exploitation of the British. These movements, although were not completely successful outwardly, paved the way for preparing a strong foundation of nationalistic movements later on. Thus, there arose a new context in which the study of language, arts, literature and gaining knowledge got a new dimension which paved the way for a new culture amidst the repudiation of the British elements.</p>2024-02-17T00:00:00+03:00Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Social, Political and Economic Researchhttps://ijosper.uk/index.php/i/article/view/252Begum Rokeya to Arundhati Roy: An Intangible Dream of Woman Emancipation2024-02-18T21:30:13+03:00Adil Ilahiilahiadil169@gmail.com<p>Both Begum Rokeya's earlier and Arundhati Roy's more recent voices have advocated for women's freedom in essentially the same ways. Although critics have examined how they raise their voices against women’s exploitation, the current situation of women’s suffering when comparing Rokeya and Arundhati’s dreams is not shown. In order to demonstrate a gap in their research, the study compared the conditions of women in Rokeya's literature with the state of current society by discussing Arundhati's works. This essay is written using Begum Rokeya's <em>Sultana's Dream</em> and Arundhati Roy's <em>The God of Small</em> Things as primary sources. My attempt in this paper is to demonstrate how Begum Rokeya's vision of women's independence is still a dream by referring to relevant scholarly articles and interpreting the works of Arundhati Roy.</p>2024-02-17T00:00:00+03:00Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Social, Political and Economic Researchhttps://ijosper.uk/index.php/i/article/view/246The Impediments to Self-purification: A Review2023-12-13T08:52:00+03:00Mohammad Enamul Hoquedrmehmzcu@gmail.com<p>Allah Ta’ala, the creator of the world, created humans as the best creatures in the best creation and gave them freedom of will and action. Man can, if he wishes, keep the creator's creative intention intact by positioning in the seat of the best creature in creation, but if he wishes, he can lower himself to the lowest level. He completely keeps up freedom of will and freedom of action. In this case, action selection is its main driving force. A general man by properly following the path of his God (Allah) can appoint himself to a higher position than the innocent angels. On the other hand, he turns himself into the worst creature in creation like a cursed devils. It is only possible for a Muslim who strictly follows the principles of Islam with a holy soul to find the path of Allah and achieve success. Therefore, it is an essential duty of every Muslim, who strictly follows the principles of Islam, to free themselves from all self-destructive activities. Undoubtedly actual performance of these duties opens the way to self-purification. As a result, he has a pure soul achieves the satisfaction of the Almighty Allah, and owns the highly expected paradise. Besides the root of this success is complete self-purification from all evil deeds and actions. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to make every effort to overcome the obstacles of self-purification identified in the light of the Quran- Hadith.</p>2024-02-17T00:00:00+03:00Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Social, Political and Economic Research
