  • Subsistence Strategies and Burial Rituals: Social Practices in the Late Deccan Chalcolithic
    Subsistence Strategies and Burial Rituals: Social Practices in the Late Deccan Chalcolithic TERESA P. RACZEK IN THE SECOND MILLENNIUM B.C., THE RESIDENTS OF THE WESTERN DECCAN region of India practiced an agropastoral lifestyle and buried their infant children in ceramic urns below their house floors. With the coming of the first millennium B.C., the inhabitants of the site of Inamgaon altered their subsistence practices to incorporate more wild meat and fewer grains into their diet. Although daily practices in the form of food procurement changed, infant burial practices remained constant from the Early Jorwe (1400 B.c.-lOOO B.C.) to the Late Jorwe (1000 B.c.-700 B.C.) period. Examining interments together with subsistence strategies firmly situates ideational practices within the fabric of daily life. This paper will explore the relationship between change and continuity in burial and subsistence practices around 1000 B.C. at the previously excavated Cha1colithic site of Inamgaon in the western Deccan (Fig. 1). By considering the act of burial as a moment of social construction that both creates and reflects larger traditions, it is possible to understand how each individual interment affects chronological variability. That burial traditions at Inamgaon were continuously recreated in the face of a changing society suggests that meaningful and significant practices were actively upheld. Burial practices at Inamgaon were both structured and fluid enough to allow room for individual and group expression. The con­ temporaneous variability that occurs in the burial record at Inamgaon may reflect the marking of various aspects of personhood. Burial traditions and the ability and desire of the living to conforITl to them vary over time and it is important to consider the specific social context in which they occur.

Box 118 Webpage: http://www.byggvetenskaper.lth.se SE-221 00 Lund Sweden 2 Informal Housing Markets and Redevelopment - A Case Study of Dharavi Preface During our academic years at the Faculty of Engineering, Lund University, we have obtained fundamental knowledge regarding property related economics, law and technology. Throughout the education, we subsequently became interested in the subject of development of land and cities. As both of us are internationally oriented, we saw the possibility to deepen our knowledge by focusing on an international matter in our master thesis. We are grateful to SIDA for providing the economic grant that made this research and the journey to India possible. We would also like to thank our supervisor Stefan Olander, Associate Professor at the Division of Construction Management, Lund University, for giving valuable support and advice throughout the course of research. The time spent in Dharavi, Mumbai during our case study has been very intense and at times difficult, but foremost interesting and rewarding. We have obtained many significant experiences, which we would not have been able to gain from a desk in Sweden. For this we would like to thank field experts for sharing their thoughts and the inhabitants of Dharavi for their time and hospitality upon inviting us into their homes and sharing their life stories.

  • The 7 Islands of Bombay/Mumbai
    The 7 Islands of Bombay/Mumbai Bombay, now Mumbai, more correctly Greater Mumbai, started out as seven small islands with villages of Kolis, the local indigenous people of this part of Western India. Their main means of living was from fishing and their goddess was Mumba Devi from which modern Bombay was finally renamed Mumbai. Greater Mumbai includes the northern large island of Salsette or Vasai which remained a Portuguese territory for a longer time whilst the seven islands became English regions after 1661. Some of the most ambitious reclamation ever undertaken in Asia involved not just joining these islands, but reclaming huge parts of sea separating the islands as well as vast empty tracts of water in between. These were seven islands when the Portuguese ceded these to the British as 'dowry' for the marraige of the English King Charles II to Catharine of Braganza of Portugal, in 1661. For a very interesting history of Mumbai see this site: http://theory.tifr.res.in/bombay/history/ that traces the history of this region from the Stone Age, through the Magadha Empire, to the Muslims of Gujarat to the Portuguese and the British, and finally the capital of commercial India. There is some controvery on the origin of the word Mumbai-it is now claimed the word Mumbai is derived from the word for the local diety of the region, a goddess called Mumbadevi. The Portugeuse who first claimed posession of the seven islands called these Bom Baie, meaning Good Bay, and the city was called Bombay upto the early 70's, when the name was changed to Mumbai.

  • The Decline of Harappan Civilization K.N.DIKSHIT
    The Decline of Harappan Civilization K.N.DIKSHIT EBSTRACT As pointed out by N. G. Majumdar in 1934, a late phase of lndus civilization is illustrated by pottery discovered at the upper levels of Jhukar and Mohenjo-daro. However, it was the excavation at Rangpur which revealed in stratification a general decline in the prosperity of the Harappan culture. The cultural gamut of the nuclear region of the lndus-Sarasvati divide, when compared internally, revealed regional variations conforming to devolutionary tendencies especially in the peripheral region of north and western lndia. A large number of sites, now loosely termed as 'Late Harappan/Post-urban', have been discovered. These sites, which formed the disrupted terminal phases of the culture, lost their status as Harappan. They no doubt yielded distinctive Harappan pottery, antiquities and remnants of some architectural forms, but neither town planning nor any economic and cultural nucleus. The script also disappeared. ln this paper, an attempt is made with the survey of some of these excavated sites and other exploratory field-data noticed in the lndo-Pak subcontinent, to understand the complex issue.of Harappan decline and its legacy.
