Sunderbans Adventure with Tigers and Rhinos Sunderbans Adventure with Tigers and Rhinos Where: Kaziranga National Park and Sunderbans Tiger Reserve, India Duration: 12 days Month: Year Round Pricing: Contact us at 1-800-970-1219 or email us [email protected] Highlights: Catch a glimpse of the rare Great Indian Rhinoceros in its only natural habitat, the Kaziranga National Park. Get an intimate look at this magnificent and vanishing creature from on the back of an elephant. Stalk the elusive and majestic Bengal tiger at the Sunderbans Tiger Reserve via riverboat cruise. Immerse yourself in a thriving and ancient culture with visits to small villages, encounters with local people, and performances of traditional dances and songs. Sustainability: The Sunderbans Jungle Camp strives to respect and protect the Sunderbans' fragile mangrove ecosystem. For example, most of the camp workers are former tiger poachers. Thanks to the camp, they have a different job now, helping preserve the tigers instead of killing them. The Jungle Camp also supports a number of social development programs, including a medical camp, book and garment banks, and an evening school. In addition, the camp has initiated a number of monitoring studies that address issues like climate change, lesser cats, and migratory water fowls. The camp partners with a variety of environmental conservation programs including the Bali Nature and Wildlife Conservation Society, West Bengal Forest Department, WWF India West Bengal Office, Wildlife Protection Society of India, and the Bali Eco- Development Committee are cooperation partners of the Jungle Camp. Itinerary: Day 1: KOLKATA We will greet you at the airport and escort you to your hotel after you clear customs and immigration. Kolkata, formerly Calcutta, is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal and located on the east bank of the River Hoogly. Kolkata served as the capital of India during the British Raj until 1911. Once the center of culture in India, Kolkata has witnessed intense political violence and economic stagnation in the years since 1954. Day 02: KOLKATA We will spend the morning learning about the fascinating history of Kolkata with a Heritage Walk of Dalhousie Square. Highlights include the imposing Writer’s Building, the newly renovated Town Hall, St John’s Churchyard, and the historic Metcalfe Hall. In the afternoon, we will pay a visit to The Victoria Memorial Hall and Garden, the Marble Palace, and Mother Teresa’s Tomb. Day 03: KOLKATA TO SUNDERBANS TIGER RESERVE In the morning, we will pick you up for the trip to Sonakhali jetty, traveling through some truly beautiful countryside with a stopover at a local tea shop. You will arrive at Sonakhali in the midmorning and board your motorized boat for a two-hour cruise through the rivers Hogol, Gomor, Durgaduani, and Gumdi. You will also have the option of stopping at Gosaba to visit the house of Sir Daniel Hamilton, a Scottish banker who introduced the concept of the Cooperative System in India. After arriving at Bali Island, we will check into camp and enjoy a hot lunch followed by a birding and game cruise to Sudhanyakhali Watch Tower. On the way, we will look for the elusive tiger, as well as monkeys, dolphins, otters, and other wildlife. You will return to camp and enjoy a presentation by a poacher-turned- camp guide, followed by dinner. Day 04: SUNDERBANS TIGER RESERVE We will spend the full day cruising and touring this extraordinary wildlife reserve. If the weather permits, we will visit the Netidhopani Watch Tower and indulge in some fishing and crabbing. After returning to camp, we will attend a performance at the local rural theatre (Bonobibi Yatra). The performance relates stories of the Tiger Lord, of forest God and Goddesses, of fishermen, and of honey collectors, with lots of local songs and dances. Day 05: SUNDERBANS TIGER RESERVE After breakfast, we will take a guided walk through the village to meet some of the locals. Through these personal encounters, you will have the chance to learn more about the Indian lifestyle, crafts, cuisines, and farming methods. We will wrap up the tour with a guided adventure cruise. Day 06: SUNDERBANS TIGER RESERVE After breakfast, your birding and game cruise will take to the Burir Daburi Watch Tower. Day 07: SUNDERBANS-KOLKATA After breakfast, we will return to Kolkata and check into our hotel. Day 08: KOLKATA- GUWAHATI / KAZIRANGA In the morning, we will catch a flight to Guwahati and then drive to the Kaziranga National Park, the only natural habitat of the Great Indian Rhinoceros. The park, which covers about 430 sq kilometers, is bordered on the north by the Brahmaputra River and on the south by the Karbi Anglong Hills. It boasts the world’s largest population of one-horned rhinoceros as well as elephants, tigers, and a small population of hoolock gibbons. You may also encounter capped langurs, bristly hares, hog badgers, otters, leopards, wild boars, sambars, swamp deer, and water buffalo. The bird population includes the rare greater adjutant stork, Bengal Florican, black- necked stork, lesser adjutant stork, Pallas's fish eagle, swamp partridge, grey peacock-pheasant, great pied hornbill, green imperial pigeon, and babblers, as well as thousands of migratory birds which flock to the various water areas of the park from as far away as Siberia. Day 09 to 11: KAZIRANGA We will spend three days exploring the Kaziranga National Park, with morning and afternoon game drive in Jeeps and on elephants! In addition, we will visit the local tea garden and some nearby villages. Day 12: KAZIRANGA / GUWAHATI / KOLKATA After breakfast, we will catch our flight back to Kolkata and your return plane. .

ABSTRACT Landscaping India investigates the use of landscapes in colonial and anti-colonial representations of India from the mid-nineteenth to the early-twentieth centuries. It examines literary and cultural texts in addition to, and along with, “non-literary” documents such as departmental and census reports published by the British Indian government, popular geography texts and text-books, travel guides, private journals, and newspaper reportage to develop a wider interpretative context for literary and cultural analysis of colonialism in South Asia. Drawing of materialist theorizations of “landscape” developed in the disciplines of geography, literary and cultural studies, and art history, Landscaping India examines the colonial landscape as a product of colonial hegemony, as well as a process of constructing, maintaining and challenging it. In so doing, it illuminates the conditions of possibility for, and the historico-geographical processes that structure, the production of the Indian nation.

  • Life of William Carey, Shoemaker and Missionary
    Life of William Carey, Shoemaker and Missionary Author(s): George Adam Smith Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: William Carey is often considered the ªfather of modern missionsº as his missionary work in India set the standard for Christian evangelism. This biography, written by George Smith within 50 years of Carey's death, tells the missionary's story. Smith's admiration of the author is obvious, but this partiality does not take away from the project as a whole. Along with taking the reader through Carey's life, he also in- cludes many of the missionary's personal letters and ser- mons, allowing readers to engage with Carey as intimately.

Dawson III The comparative experiences of the nineteenth-century British and American Army officer’s wives add a central dimension to studies of empire. Sharing their husbands’ sense of duty and mission, these women transferred, adopted, and adapted national values and customs, to fashion a new imperial sociability, influencing the course of empire by cutting across and restructuring gender, class, and racial borders. Stationed at isolated stations in British India and the American West, many officers’ wives experienced homesickness and disorientation.

  • City Disaster Management Plan of Kolkata
    CITY DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN OF KOLKATA 2020 KOLKATA MUNICIPAL CORPORATION 5, S.N. BANERJEE ROAD, KOLKATA - 13 Foreword Cities are important centres of modern societies that will continue to gain in importance in the future. Today, more than half the world’s population lives in urban areas. The high density and interdependence of urban lifestyles and work, and the growing dependence on increasingly complex infrastructure systems and services, are making cities more vulnerable to a variety of hazards — natural and man-made. These can be the result of technological, natural or social causes. The populous City of Kolkata is situated in the multi-hazard prone southern part of the state of West Bengal which has considerable risk of damage/loss of lives and property due to natural hazards like Cyclone, Earthquake and Flood even if we keep aside the threats due to human induced hazards as Fire, Accidents, Industrial & Chemical hazards etc. To minimize the losses due to disasters and to have a disaster resilient society, we must have clear understanding in regard to the type and strength of each of the probable threats which may cause disasters of medium or large scale in the city. The perception about disaster and its management has undergone a change following the enactment of the Disaster Management Act, 2005. The definition of disaster is now all encompassing that includes not only the events emerging from natural and man-made causes, but even those events which are caused by accident or negligence. There was a long felt need to capture information about all such events occurring across the sectors and efforts made to mitigate them in the city and to collate them at one place in a global perspective.

  • The Life of William Carey, Shoemaker & Missionary
    The Life of William Carey by George Smith PREFACE On the death of William Carey In 1834 Dr. Joshua Marshman promised to write the Life of his great colleague, with whom he had held almost daily converse since the beginning of the century, but he survived too short a time to begin the work. In 1836 the Rev. Eustace Carey anticipated him by issuing what is little better than a selection of mutilated letters and journals made at the request of the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society. It contains one passage of value, however. Dr. Carey once said to his nephew, whose design he seems to have suspected, “Eustace, if after my removal any one should think it worth his while to write my Life, I will give you a criterion by which you may judge of its correctness. If he give me credit for being a plodder he will describe me justly. Anything beyond this will be too much. I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.” In 1859 Mr. John Marshman, after his final return to England, published The Life and Times of Carey, Marshman, and Ward, a valuable history and defence of the Serampore Mission, but rather a biography of his father than of Carey. When I first went to Serampore the great missionary had not been twenty years dead. During my long residence there as Editor of the Friend of India, I came to know, in most of its details, the nature of the work done by Carey for India and for Christendom in the first third of the century.

It was associated with a variety of frailties far beyond fevers, ranging from idiocy to impotence. And yet, it was not a self-contained category. The reconsolidation of malaria as a diagnostic category during this period happened within a wider context in which cinchona plants and their most valuable extract, quinine, were reinforced as objects of natural knowledge and social control. In India, the exigencies and apparatuses of British imperial rule occasioned the close interactions between these histories. In the process, British impe- rial rule became entangled with a network of nonhumans that included, apart from cinchona plants and the drug quinine, a range of objects described as malarial, as well as mosquitoes. Malarial Subjects explores this history of the co-constitution of a cure and disease, of British colo- nial rule and nonhumans, and of science, medicine and empire. This title is also available as Open Access. rohan deb roy is Lecturer in South Asian History at the University of Reading. He received his PhD from University College London, and has held postdoctoral fellowships at the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences Calcutta, at the University of Cambridge, and at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin.
