Benoy Kumar Sarkar (sometimes Binoy Kumar Sarkar) (December 26, 1887, Malda, British India – November 23, 1949, Washington D.C., United States) was an Indian social scientist, professor, and nationalist.[1] He founded several institutes in Calcutta, including the Bengali Institute of Sociology, Bengali Asia Academy, Bengali Dante Society, and Bengali Institute of American Culture.

Early life and education[edit | edit source]

Binoy Kumar Sarkar was born in Malda Town of Malda, West Bengal, in Bengal Presidency. He started his early education in Malda Zilla School. Sarkar entered the University of Calcutta at the age of 13 after standing first at the entrance examination from Malda Zilla School,[2] while he graduated in 1905, at 18, with dual degrees in English and history. The following year he received his master's degree.

Career[edit | edit source]

In 1925 Sarkar started as a lecturer at the Department of Economics of University of Calcutta. He praised Nazism as "form of benevolent dictatorship", and advocated the establishment of a fascist dictatorship in India.[3] In 1947, he became a professor and head of the department. In 1949, Sarkar went on a lecture tour in America, visiting 25 universities.[4] During his trip to America, he interacted with scholars such as John Dewey, Talcott Parsons, Carle Zimmerman, and Raymond Leslie Buell.[4]

Closely involved with the national education movement of India, Professor Sarkar was highly influenced by the Nationalist action of Sister Nivedita.[5]

Sugata Bose writes of Sarkar's cosmopolitan visions for Asia, and his celebration of many Asian polities, "Far from harboring Hindu nationalist sentiments of the sort later propagated by V. D. Savarkar ... Sarkar was an eloquent and passionate proponent of Hindu-Muslim equality and unity.[6] Sarkar warned Asians not to trust Western powers.[7] Sarkar challenged the West's racial privileging of democracy:

The New Asia wants the New Europe and the New America to admit, as principle, that their peoples must not by any means command greater privileges in the Orient than the oriental peoples can possibly possess within the bounds of the Occident. ... The doctrine of international reciprocity is the first article of faith in the gospel of Young Asia. ... Young Asia wants Eur-America to realize that democratic emotions and ideals are not the monopoly of occidental race- psychology.

[8]

Selected publications[edit | edit source]

Sarkar wrote in five languages, his native Bengali, English, German, French and Italian,[9] publishing a large volume of work on a variety of topics, including 53 books and booklets in English alone, his written production amounting in all to some 30 000 pages.[10] A complete list of his publications is contained in Bandyopadhyay's book The Political Ideas of Benoy Kumar Sarkar.[11]
