Download or read book Rethinking Himalaya Its Scope and Protection written by KULBHUSHAN SHARMA and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Himalaya has profoundly shaped the cultures of the Indian subcontinent, with many Himalayan peaks considered sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism. Some of the world's major rivers – the Indus, the Ganges and the Brahmaputra rise in the Himalayas. These rivers have abundant seasonal and annual water supply. The mountain ranges and river basins share trans-boundary connectedness. Still, mountain people living on hills have limited access to water for drinking and agriculture. Covering around 27% of the Earth’s land surface, the mountains contribute to the sustenance and wellbeing of over half the human population for water, food, and clean energy. Yet mountains are under threat from climate change, land degradation, overexploitation, and natural disasters, with potentially far-reaching and devastating consequences, both for mountain communities and downstream populations. The book covers interdisciplinary domains of science, humanities and commerce, hence beneficial for all types of readers equally. Promotion of awareness and education on conservation and sustainable utilization of bioresources and strengthening networks, coordination with the help of central government departments, state governments, NGOs and local institutions is urgently needed.

Download or read book Evolution of Rural Settlements in West Bengal 1850 1985 written by Sukla Sen and published by Daya Books. This book was released on 1989 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The alteration of the physical condition of a region through natural processes forces men to give up their age-old occupations and to take up new ones. This is followed by a corresponding redistribution of population. The latter phenomenon is also motivated by a change in the economy of the region, through a change in the mode of production. It is needless to say that rivers are of vital importance in a deltaic land of their own creation. The rivers of the Bengal delta were responsible for a particular form of economy of her people who concentrated along the banks of the rivers. But deterioration of the river channels coupled with human interference brought in a number of problems including agricultural decline, beginning of malaria fever, periodic growth and decay of population and tendency of clustering of population away from river banks to sites along railways and roads. The moribund Ganga delta was selected for the study due to its very special settlement problems. In this moribund Ganga delta when the land-building activity of the rivers ceased, there set in a period of physical stagnation, a period of transition witnessed the worsening of the salubrious climate with consequent downward trend in population density and decline in agriculture in comparison to earlier periods (pre-1850s). After the lapse of a century, the study area suddenly experienced a cataclismic increase of population which are not due to any improvement in ecological situation, but owing to mass immigration from the then East Pakistan (Bangladesh), which was followed by a larger cropped area and other manifestations of economic development in post-independence period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adivasis have principally been studied in the context of rebellion, environmental history and the politics of identity. However, preoccupations with definitions and notions of identity, while important in themselves, tend to shift attention away from the inner lives of these communities. This book deals with different aspects of the histories of adivasi communities -- from Rajasthan in the west to Bengal and Orissa in the east. The essays in this book discuss a range of issues affecting the socio-economic and cultural life of adivasis and explore the long term continuities and discontinuities between different political regimes. They also reflect some of the new concerns that have come up relating to methodology and sources, historiography and colonial concerns, the impact of missionaries, gender issues, the agrarian situation, famines and migration. Some of the issues addressed in this volume are the genesis and development of 'tribal' studies in India during the colonial period; the peasantization of adivasi groups and their assimilation within the Hindu caste fold as reflected in Tulsidas' Ramcharitmanas; the work of the Protestant missions among the Santals of Chotanagpur; the social and ritual relations between the Bhils and the Rajput ruling dynasties of Dungarpur in southern Rajasthan; the aspect of agrarian change among the Hos of Singhbhum; the factors behind the migration from Chotanagpur, its nature and organization and its impact upon the adivasi village community; the question of women's agency in colonial Chotanagpur; and an exploration of land rights, witchcraft, employment patterns and how women challenged patriarchy in their everyday lives; and the impact of globalisation and liberalization upon adivasis in contemporary India. The book will be of use to students and scholars of history, anthropology and sociology and also to policy-planners.
