Shabd–Braham Shabd Braham ISSN 2320 – 0871 International Research Journal of Indian languages 17 October 2013 Demands for New Small States : A Challenge to Indian Federalism Dr. S.B. PHAD, Head, Dept. of political science, N S B college, Nanded (MH) INDIA Abstract The increasing demand for new states raises a number of questions with regard to the well-being of India’s federal democratic polity. There are four measures that must be considered while devising any framework to address the issue of federal reorganization. These are: the constitution of a permanent State Reorganization Commission, amendment of the Constitution to ensure that the demand for a new state emanates from the state legislature and not at the centre, examination of economic and social viability rather than political considerations and clear-cut safeguards to encourage democratic concerns like development and governance rather than religion, caste and language as valid grounds for a new state. Introduction from various organizations or individuals over the years," a home ministry official India may have at least 50 states in said. The demands for separate states future if demands for new states are to are: In Uttar Pradesh, there have been be conceded as the home ministry has demands for Awadh Pradesh, received representations for creation of Poorvanchal, Bundelkhand and more than 20 states.

  • Chapter-1 Introduction 1. Introduction
    CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION Education, in the broad sense, means preparation for life, it aims at all round development of individuals. Thus education is concerned with developing optimum organic health and emotional vitality such as social consciousness, acquisition of knowledge, wholesome attitude, moral and spiritual qualities.1 Education is also considered a process by which, individual is shaped to fit into the society to maintain and advance the social order. It is a system designed to make an individual rational, mature and a knowledgeable human being. Education is the modification of behaviour of an individual for the better adjustment in the society and for making a useful and worthwhile citizen. 2 The pragmatic view of education highlights learning by doing. Learning by doing takes place in the class room, in the library, on the play ground, in the gymnasium, or on the trips at home. 3 Civilized societies have always felt the need for physical education for its members except during the middle ages, when physical education as is typically known today found almost no place within the major educational pattern that prevailed. During the period, in Europe, asceticism in the early Christian church on the other hand set a premium on physical weakness in the vain hope that this was the path to spiritual excellence.4 During the middle age sports was associated with military motives, since many of the physical activities were designed to harden and strengthen man for combat5. The rapid development of physical education within the present century and the weighted influence accruing to some of its more spectacular activities suggest the imperative need, a clean understanding of unequal role, a well balanced programme in the field may give rise to the optimum growth and development of the youth.

Abstract The term region is difficult to define. It is understood in different contexts. However, it has been generally defined as “a homogeneous area with physical and cultural characteristics distinct those of neighboring areas”. A region is generally conceived as a permanent and definite area but it is a contextual and dynamic concept. The concept of region varies according to criteria chosen for its demarcation.
