  • Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview
    Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview Tamil Nadu is bordered by Pondicherry, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Sri Lanka, which has a significant Tamil minority, lies off the southeast coast. Tamil Nadu, with its traceable history of continuous human habitation since pre-historic times has cultural traditions amongst the oldest in the world. Colonised by the East India Company, Tamil Nadu was eventually incorporated into the Madras Presidency. After the independence of India, the state of Tamil Nadu was created in 1969 based on linguistic boundaries. The politics of Tamil Nadu has been dominated by DMK and AIADMK, which are the products of the Dravidian movement that demanded concessions for the 'Dravidian' population of Tamil Nadu. Lying on a low plain along the southeastern coast of the Indian peninsula, Tamil Nadu is bounded by the Eastern Ghats in the north and Nilgiri, Anai Malai hills and Palakkad (Palghat Gap) on the west. The state has large fertile areas along the Coromandel coast, the Palk strait, and the Gulf of Mannar. The fertile plains of Tamil Nadu are fed by rivers such as Kaveri, Palar and Vaigai and by the northeast monsoon. Traditionally an agricultural state, Tamil Nadu is a leading producer of agricultural products. Tribal Population As per 2001 census, out of the total state population of 62,405,679, the population of Scheduled Castes is 11,857,504 and that of Scheduled Tribes is 651,321. This constitutes 19% and 1.04% of the total population respectively.1 Further, the literacy level of the Adi Dravidar is only 63.19% and that of Tribal is 41.53%.

These communities have a number of symbolic oral narratives of how their community emerged, how they got their particular name, how the world began and how the people of their community first came in to inhabit in the world. These kinds of creation myths, founding myths, cosmogony myths and oral etiologic tales commonly develop in oral tradition and it has multiple versions in different areas.

  • Ragang Based Raga Identification System
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 16, Issue 3 (Sep. - Oct. 2013), PP 83-85 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.Iosrjournals.Org Ragang based Raga Identification system Awadhesh Pratap Singh Tomer Assistant Professor (Music-vocal), Department of Music Dr. H. S. G. Central University Sagar M.P. Gopal Sangeet Mahavidhyalaya Mahaveer Chowk Bina Distt. Sagar (M.P.) 470113 Abstract: The paper describes the importance of Ragang in the Raga classification system and its utility as being unique musical patterns; in raga identification. The idea behind the paper is to reinvestigate Ragang with a prospective to use it in digital classification and identification system. Previous works in this field are based on Swara sequence and patterns, Pakad and basic structure of Raga individually. To my best knowledge previous works doesn’t deal with the Ragang Patterns for identification and thus the paper approaches Raga identification with a Ragang (musical pattern group) base model. This work also reviews the Thaat-Raagang classification system. This describes scope in application for Automatic digital teaching of classical music by software program to analyze music (Classical vocal and instrumental). The Raag classification should be flawless and logically perfect for best ever results.
