  • Monitoring Spatial Variation in Tribal Population at Tahsils of Ahmednagar District, Maharashtra Using Gis Technique
    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLII-5/W3, 2019 Capacity Building and Education Outreach in Advanced Geospatial Technologies and Land Management, 10–11 December 2019, Dhulikhel, Nepal MONITORING SPATIAL VARIATION IN TRIBAL POPULATION AT TAHSILS OF AHMEDNAGAR DISTRICT, MAHARASHTRA USING GIS TECHNIQUE S. Deshmukh Department of Economics, Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Shivajinagar, Pune, India - [email protected] Commission V, WG V/7 & Commission IV, WG IV/6 KEY WORDS: Environment, Geographical Information System, Population, Socio-Economic, Spatio-Temporal, Tribal ABSTRACT: The tribal population represents a heterogeneous group scattered in different regions of India. The differences are noticed in language, cultural practices, socio-economic status and pattern of livelihood. The tribal population in India rapidly increased from 30.1 million in 1961 to 104.3 million in 2011. For same period tribal residing in rural area have increased by three times from 29.4 million to 93.8 million respectively. The tribal population resides in urban area is very less in number due to these people like to live in the remote areas of the proximity of natural environment. In Maharashtra, more than 47 indigenous tribes were dwelling at Sahyadri and Satpuda mountainous ranges. According to 2011 census, there are about 1, 05, 10,213 tribal populations living in Maharashtra, which constitutes 10.05% population of state. In Maharashtra, there is regional disparity in tribal population such as Nandurbar District has the highest tribal concentration while Dhule, Gadchiroli, Nasik, and Ahmednagar District have moderate tribal concentration. Therefore, present research work is an attempt to understand the Spatio-temporal variation in tribal population of Ahmednagar district using GIS technique during the period of 2001-2011.

  • Ahilyabai Holkar Author: Sandhya Taksale Illustrator: Priyankar Gupta a Chance Encounter (1733)
    Ahilyabai Holkar Author: Sandhya Taksale Illustrator: Priyankar Gupta A chance encounter (1733) “Look at these beautiful horses and elephants! Who brought them here?” squealed Ahilya. Reluctantly, she tore her eyes away from the beautiful animals – it would get dark soon! She hurried inside the temple and lit a lamp. Ahilya closed her eyes and bowed in prayer. 2/23 Little did she know that she was being watched by Malharrao. He was the brave and mighty Subedar, a senior Maratha noble, of the Malwa province. On his way to Pune, he had camped in the village of Chaundi in Maharashtra. It was his horses and elephants that Ahilya had admired. “She has something special about her. She would make a good bride for my son, Khanderao,” Malharrao thought. In those days, marriages happened early. 3/23 Off to Indore Ahilya was the daughter of the village head, Mankoji Shinde. She hailed from a shepherd family. In those days, girls were not sent to school. Society considered the role of women as only managing the household and taking care of the family; educating a girl was not given importance. But Ahilya’s father thought differently and taught her to read and write. After Ahilya and Khanderao were married, Ahilya went to Indore, which was in the Malwa province, as the Holkar family’s daughter-in- law. The rest is history. She was destined to become a queen! 4/23 Who was Ahilyabai? Three hundred years ago, Maharani Ahilyabai ruled the Maratha-led Malwa kingdom for 28 years (1767-1795 A.D).

But like most great institutions of higher learning, Northeastern had modest origins. At the end of the nineteenth century, immigrants and first-generation Americans constituted more than half of Boston’s population. Chief among the city’s institutions committed to helping these people improve their lives was the Boston YMCA. The YMCA became a place where young men gathered to hear lectures on literature, history, music, and other subjects considered essential to intellectual growth. In response to the enthusiastic demand for these lectures, the directors of the YMCA organized the “Evening Institute for Young Men” in May 1896. Frank Palmer Speare, a well- known teacher and high-school principal with considerable experience in the public schools, was hired as the institute’s director.

  • Commitment and Conquest: the Case of British Rule in India
    The University of Adelaide School of Economics Research Paper No. 2009-24 Commitment and Conquest: The Case of British Rule in India Mandar P. Oak and Anand Swamy The University of Adelaide, School of Economics Working Paper Series no. 0083 (2009 - 24) Commitment and Conquest: The Case of British Rule in India Mandar P. Oak School of Economics University of Adelaide Adelaide AUSTRALIA Anand Swamy Dept of Economics Williams College Williamstown MA, USA Preliminary draft. Do not quote without premission. July 24, 2009 Abstract Contemporary historians usually attribute the East India Company’s military success in India to its military strength. In contrast, we argue that, on its own, military strength was a mixed blessing: it could have led to the formation of coalitions against the Company. This did not happen because the Company’scommitments to Indian regimes were more credible than their commitments to each other. In this sense, commitment was the key to conquest. 1 1 Introduction There is a huge and sophisticated literature on why the East India Company, a trading enterprise, was able to conquer India. The dominant view among modern historians foregrounds the Company’ssuperior military power, based on better technology and access to capital, and support from the British state.1 An- other group of historians, while acknowledging the Company’smilitary strength, also emphasize the myopia of Indian regimes, arguing that they failed to recog- nize that their disunity would pave the way for the Company’s ascendance, via serial conquest.2 A variant of this view (Stein 2001, p.209) emphasizes the Company’sorganizational structure, arguing that Indian regimes were "lulled" into a false sense of security because they were aware that authorities in London (with oversight over the Company in India) were conservative, and opposed to risky warfare.
