		Though the Subarnarekha basin is the smallest of the 14 major river basins of India draining an area of 19,296 square kilometres and covering hardly 0.6 percent of India's land surface, yet it is an important inter-Stat~ river flowing through one of the most important industrial belt and mineral-rich areas of India.
		The Subarnarekha and its major tributaries have been classified into segments on the basis of designated best use of the stream water, thereby laying down the current minimum levels of water quality requirements for different stream segments.
		The Subarnarekha in its upper and middle sections is now highly polluted, as has been observed in this study based on the water qua lity data collected by the Bihar State Pollution Control Board.

	Films of Ritwak Ghatak 4
		The old man tells Sita how her mythical namesake was found as a baby in the furrow of a field by King Janak and how she returned to her mother, Earth, when scorned by her husband, Rama, who believed that she had cheated on him with the evil demon, Ravana.
		She now resides alone in a rented room with her son because she has had to flee her home in the countryside due to her brother’s irrational jealousy towards her husband, Abhiram, and now the husband is dead.
		The dramatic construction of the scene underscores the epic tragedy of Sita’s death — the sacrifice of Bengal — caused by the decadence of Ishwar, the excesses of Bengali society.

		In the film Subarnarekha the flow of human life is connected with the mythic civilisation.
		Let us recall the film Subarnarekha, where due to the irony of fate Ishwar and Haraprasad come into a bar in Calcutta and Haraprasad reflects observing the trend and tendencies of the post independence stereotype people who are toxicated into "terrific and awful fun".

		However, in the Subarnarekha valley at Jamsholla, about 270 km from Kolkata, there is an apparent lack of cemented gravel layers which are associated with early Homo sapiens(technical name for modern species of man) found in the Narmada basin.
		To justify their claim that human habitation might have existed there without a break, they have cited the discovery of ancient metal slag and crude agricultural tools like hollow stone rings in the lower rocks and shallow river bed that could be traced to Neolithic age at a later stage.
		Referring to the terraces, Mr Sankhyan argues that natural terraces formed by the flooding of rivers are not exactly visible; instead, the river has cut through the rocks and the modern man has cleared some of the rock formations and converted the topography into flat agricultural land having close resemblance with river terraces.

		Ishwar, turned grimly bourgeois, opposes their match, and his interference leads to disaster for all three.
		An intense film of emphatic visual rhythms, Subarnarekha is composed mainly of short shots that suspend actors in close-to-middle camera space, creating uncomfortably direct images of crisis and confrontation.
		The plot moves farther and farther into poetic melodrama (including a brilliant alcoholic nightclub scene), finding room along the way for a stark, lyrical interlude in which the children discover an abandoned British airstrip.

		Sir — The discovery of the oldest civilization in India on the banks of the Subarnarekha river has done residents of this area proud (“Footsteps of man over 2 m years”, Sept 8).
		Geologists at the Ranchi University and the team from the Archaeological Survey of India should ensure that the site is excavated properly so that the treasure trove of knowledge concealed for so long is not lost.
		But the Australopithecus (pre-Paleolithic man), who were supposed to have used the tools found on the banks of the Subarnarekha, had not evolved by then.

	"Ritwik Ghatak" print version
		The two main female characters of Meghe Dhaka Tara and Subarnarekha — Nita and Sita — are not only emotionally and physically sacrificed by their families but are also symbolically sacrificed as goddesses.
		Ghatak attempts to illustrate the end result of Partition’s forced migration of millions as political, cultural, and geographical deterritorialization and stasis through depicting the entrapment of the female characters of Nita and Sita in their houses and in their fragmented homeland.
		In both Meghe Dhaka Tara and Subarnarekha, Ghatak uses Tagore songs at climatic moments to express the joy and sorrow of the post-Independence Bengali woman, who must bear the burden of rebuilding the family in the aftermath of Partition.

		In fact, it is a region comprising a number of plateau, hills and valleys drained by different rivers, namely Barakar, Damodar, Brahmani, Baitarani, Mahanadi and Subarnarekha.
		Incidents like the forcible harvesting of paddy of Dhanbad-Giridih areas were so common that the inhabitants felt it necessary to reassert their rights over the land illegally taken away from the adivasis.
		The main issue behind such turmoil is, however, the process of systematic dispossession of the indigenous people, who have been displaced in the name of development or urbanisation.

		In Bastuhara (Dispossed, 1991) Arabindan imaginatively portrays the theme of uprooted persons on two levels — the mass of refugees at the time of Bangladesh war (1971) and the plight of a family that was uprooted during India's partition in 1947.
		Even the story moves from the pastoral Subarnarekha riverside to the sleazy underbelly of Kolkata.

		The multi-crore Subarnarekha Irrigation Project (SIP), involving the three neighboring states of Orissa, Jharkhand and West Bengal, has run into rough weather due to stiff resistance from the people to be evicted from the project areas, besides paucity of funds and heavy escalation of the project cost.

		According to sources the Subarnarekha Multipurpose project would require funds to the tune of Rs 2869.76 crore to complete the pending work on the Jharkhand side.

		If the answer is “No”, 1,000 cumecs will be a significant portion of the 5,800 cumecs ordinary discharge of Ganges, with which the people of Bihar will be unwilling to part.
		Therefore by linking Ganges with Subarnarekha, Bihar will not only not benefit from flood relief, but will also suffer from shortage of water in the lean flow season, while Subarnarekha valley will receive an undesirable 1,000 cumecs during their monsoon season and perhaps none in the dry season when they may want it.
		In effect, water that is flowing “waste” into the sea down Ganges will flow to the sea via Subarnarekha.
