Book excerpt: This book comprehensively documents the hunting-gathering way of life in India from the Lower Palaeolithic to the present, based on the author's field work in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh and archaeological and ethnographic evidence from these regions. India has a history of nomadic hunting-gathering back to the Lower Palaeolithic period. The Mesolithic period witnessed significant improvement in technology based on the mass production of bladelets and their conversion into microliths used spearheads, arrowheads, knives, daggers, harpoons, etc. Paintings found in caves and rock shelters complement the picture known from excavation. Settled life based on agriculture and copper technology appeared around 6000 years ago. However, farmers did not give up hunting-gathering altogether and continued to practise it in some measure. Even after the appearance of iron technology hunting continued to be practised, and indeed it has survived right into the twenty-first century among many communities all over the country.

There is a general introduction and an archaeological overview for each region. Part II contains thematic essays on prehistory, social life, gender, music and art, health, religion, and indigenous knowledge.

Download or read book THE LOST CHILDHOOD HUMAN RIGHTS OF SOCIALLY DEPRIVED written by Vijay Prakash Sharma and published by Sankalp Publication. This book was released on with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: : This book is an experiment in understanding ground realities and descriptions of contemporary social problems. Current debates about social and economic human rights emphasize vital, economically driven needs for food, shelter, health care, and basic education while ignoring equally fundamental needs for socialization, interpersonal caring, and meaningful associations. This gives a distorted picture of social and economic human rights and allows the provision of economic needs to be promoted without due attention to the social needs that accompany them. Similarly, debates about civil and political human rights have focused on the rights against torture and cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment while giving little or no attention to the intersection between these exclusions. Social exclusion is a socially constructed concept, and can depend on an idea of what is considered ‘normal.’ The concept of social exclusion is contested, in that it is often difficult to ‘objectively’ identify who is socially excluded, as it is a matter of the criteria adopted and the judgments used. The state of Jharkhand is one of the migrating states, especially for child laborers. Their labor is unaccountable. They usually suffer from anemia and reproductive infections. One of the main obstacles to tribal development is superstitious beliefs and practices. They think that the diseases, famines, water scarcities, weak crops, the spread of epidemics and premature death, etc. befall on them only when the evil spirits are angry. Thus the socio-economic condition of the tribal is very poor caused of many factors, i.e. undulating topography, less cultivable land with no irrigation facilities, lack of Govt. infrastructure facilities and superstitious beliefs, etc. Migration and child trafficking must be prevented through the collaborative action of influential members of society and community leaders, police personnel, media people, NGOs working in the field and individuals who are in a professional capacity can influence state legislation to successfully combat trafficking. Education with professional/ technical skills education for income generation activities is needed. Migration and child trafficking must be prevented through the collaborative action of influential members of society and community leaders, police personnel, media people, NGOs working in the field and individuals who are in a professional capacity can influence state legislation to successfully combat trafficking. Education with professional/ technical skills education for income generation activities is needed. It is occasioned by of complete lack of sources of livelihood. It doesn’t lead to a better fortune for most of the girls going out of their homes but dark lanes where they are forever lost, where their lives end as victims of sexual exploitation in various ways and they fall prey to sexual exploitation in the brothels or outside the brothels. This book will be helpful to Administrators, Social Scientists, journalists, and social activists.
