There have been increase in the incidents of human animal conflicts due to human encroachments in the forest areas and habitat degradation. The objective of the study is to analyze the habitat suitability factors i.e. Forest type, drainage, slope, aspect, contour and elevation were analyzed.

  • Living (Planet) Versus Dead (Capital)
    Living (planet) versus dead (capital) Sonal Jain Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung www.in.boell.org Abstract After five centuries of global capitalist expansion, we are in the midst of the largest mass extinction of species in the last 65 million years; we are confronted by the climate crisis and the mass acidification of the oceans. The Anthropocene discourse posits humans as a geographical force, measured by significant changes humanity has had on the biosphere. Many, however, counter this arguing that it is not human impact but global capital that is responsible for the climate crisis. Caught in our collective addiction to consumption, growth, progress and infrastructure development based on a flawed economic model, we need a radical change in our way of being. In stark contrast to the techno-utopia of our post- industrial societies, we have amidst us in the present day and age many communities, people and cultures who see themselves as being subject to nature, rather than in control of it; their worldviews and knowledge systems are completely opposite to the Western civilisation, global capitalism and the modern education system. The living root bridges and trees in the Indian state of Meghalaya, firmly enmeshed within the culture and identity of the people who create them, are perfect examples of living in tune with nature rather than controlling it. Author's profile Sonal Jain is the co-founder of Desire Machine Collective (2004) and project Periferry. She works at the intersection of art, ecology, technology and activism. Her practice spans film, video, photography, digital media, public intervention, curation and writing.

  • Live at the Border the Dawki-Tamabil Border and Mawlynnong Village: India-Bangladesh
    Live at the Border The Dawki-Tamabil border and Mawlynnong Village: India-Bangladesh The rolling Khasi Hills - between the floodplains of Assam and Bengal - were described by the British as “the Scotland of the East,” and provided the natural connection for people between these two plains until the British-ruled Indian subcontinent was partitioned into India and East and West Pakistan in 1947. It was an important point of commerce between Assam and Bengal and the Dawki Bridge, built by the British over the Umngot River in 1932, connects the Khasi-Jaintia Hills and South Assam, in present day Northeast India, with Sylhet district of present day Bangladesh. Today, on the Indian side of the border is Dawki town in the Jaintia Hills district of Meghalaya - 80 kms from the state capital of Shillong - and on the Bangladesh side is the border town of Tamabil - 55 kms from the provincial headquarters of Sylhet, Bangladesh. The beautiful and verdant Khasi Hills today sit on a maze of limestone mines and coal mines, frequented by diesel fuming trucks ferrying the coal and limestone out of the place, and a huge ugly cement factory. The factory and the mining have obliterated many of the Khasi monoliths which are the symbol of the Khasi animist belief-system. There has been a huge environmental impact of such coal and limestone mining in Meghalaya, which forms a substantial part of the border trade at the Dawki-Tamabil crossing. The road leading to Dawki, away from the maddening traffic of Shillong, the capital city of Meghalaya, is one of the most beautiful hill roads in this part of the world, and is busy with local taxis, private cars and buses ferrying tourists.

  • History of Mining in India
    ARTICLES IJHS | VOL 55.3 | SEPTEMBER 2020 History of Mining in India A. K. Soni∗ CSIR-Central Institute of Mining and Fuel Research, Nagpur. (Received 28 May 2020; Revised 20 July 2020) Abstract Mining of minerals is an age-old process continuing since centuries. Indeed, it was started with pick-axe and chisel, way back in pre-Harappan times and pre-Christian era. An insight into the history of mining in India, one of the oldest civilizations of the world, will enable the readers to know how our ancestors were digging minerals from the earth womb with minimum tools and inadequate infrastructure. Describing the history in limited pages is not possible, however, an attempt has been made on the basis of available authentic records. The first third of this paper describes ancient mining and metallurgy in general, encompassing India as well as known ancient civilizations of the world. It is followed by a focussed history of the coal mining industry in India. The third part focuses on mineral-wise excavation history including metallic artefacts like copper, silver and gold with present insight. In brief, this paper attempts to provide a useful insight with reference to India for all readers, directly or indirectly, and whether connected with mining /mineral industry or not. Key words: Ancient time, Civilization, Coal mining, History, Mining, Metal mining. 1 Introduction ing practices in India followed the cultural diversity of the region but were different from other parts of the world.
