  • Plundered Histories, Forgotten Terrains & Entangled People
    Plundered Histories, Forgotten Terrains & Entangled People ** (A critical search on Planning and Commission on Mining) Goldy M. George I. Conflict in Interest: Planning, Commissioning and Development In the early 1950s India embarked on a program of planned industrial development. Borrowing planning concepts from the Soviet Union, the government tried to stimulate 1 development through massive investment in the public sector, imposing a system of tight controls on foreign ownership of capital in India and playing a highly interventionist role in all aspects of economic policy. The private sector was allowed to continue to operate in agriculture and in a wide range of ‘non-essential’ industrial sectors.1 The steady economic growth of industries with active support from the state machinery is directly proportional to the unchecked exploitation of masses. Several instances of eviction, evacuation etc. had put before a long array of questions on the very edifice of mining and development. Marginalised communities such as Dalits, Adivasis, women, working class, etc. are the first victims of this. Though during the independence struggle “factory to the workers” prominently came on to the national agenda, nowhere in India it was implemented in the post independence era. Resultant displacement, migration, repercussion of workers, loss of land and livelihood, pilfering state revenue, forest resources, etc. has outgrown to monstrous magnitude. Decolonisation of erstwhile colonies invariably saw the elite take control of political power. Naturally they were inclined to capitalism preferring to inherit the colonial state – its laws, structure and character – rather than to transform it fundamentally in ways to respond to the most urgent needs of the oppressed sections.

  • BLOCK 1 Many Are of the Opinion That the Tribals Being Away from The
    BLOCK 1 Many are of the opinion that the tribals being away from the mainstream of life of the country, living in the mountains and dense forests, have no past or a recorded history. There may not be any written records but the oral history could be of some importance to know the origin of the tribals and the unique culture that they inherit and practice. Our whole concentration in this course will be to make an assessment of the situation of the tribes in India constituting 8.74 % of India’s population. As we have said earlier the Indian government has termed these classes of people as scheduled tribes and popularly they are known as Adivasis. These groups of people have their own unique culture, customs, and way of living, myths and so on that they have inherited from their fore fathers that distinguish them from the other groups. But the recent developments and progress in the field of science and technology have created some amount of disturbance amoung the tribals. Although there are a number of measures taken to maintain the cultural identity of the tribals but hardly anything benefits them. Unit 1 familiarizes us with the Historical Roots of the Tribals. Many are of the view that they do not have any past. But in this unit we will be dealing with themes like what do we understand by the term tribals, some of the historical facts about them and the sources that support these views. Unit 2 studies the Tribal Folklore and Cultural Expressions. This unit studies the culture and the folklore of the tribals, the role that folklore plays in the life of the tribals, the various cultural expressions, the organization of the administration, the various socio-religious customs and the feasts and celebrations.

  • About Chhattisgarh
    About Chhattisgarh Map Chhatisgarh state and districts (Stand 2007) At the time of separation from Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh originally had 16 districts. Two new districts: Bijapur and Narayanpur were carved out on May 11, 2007[1] and nine new districts on Jan 1, 2012. The new districts have been created by carving out the existing districts to facilitate more targeted, focused and closer administration. These districts have been named Sukma, Kondagaon, Balod, Bemetara, Baloda Bazar, Gariaband, Mungeli, Surajpur and Balrampur[2] Contents [hide] 1 Background 2 Administrative history 3 Districts of Chhattisgarh 4 References 5 External links Background[edit] A district of an Indian state is an administrative geographical unit, headed by a district magistrate or a deputy commissioner, an officer belonging to the Indian Administrative Service. The district magistrate or the deputy commissioner is assisted by a number of officials belonging to different wings of the administrative services of the state. A superintendent of Police, an officer belonging to Indian Police Service is entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining law and order and related issues. Administrative history Before Indian independence, present-day Chhattisgarh state was divided between the Central Provinces and Berar, a province of British India, and a number of princely states in the north, south, and east, which were part of the Eastern States Agency. The British province encompassed the central portion of the state, and was made up of three districts, Raipur, Bilaspur, and Durg, which made up the Chhattisgarh Division of the Central Provinces. Durg District was created in 1906 out of the eastern portion of Raipur District.
