THAKUR, ALPANA SINGH and B. D.

Quantitative estimation of macerals reveal, due to high amount of macerals of huminite group, that this lignite deposits has formed from forest dominated vegetation in a fast subsiding basin, experiencing almost uniform environmental conditions, with slight intermittent fluctuations. The rank based on Ro max % values indicates that lignites are less mature and have not reached the sub-bituminous stage of coalification as those of the lignites from Panandhro (Gujarat) and Neyveli (Tamil Nadu) fields. High pyrite content in the Khadsaliya lignite makes it not much suitable for combustion purpose. Keywords: Maceral, Maturation, Palaeodeposition, Khadsaliya lignite, Cenozoic, Gujarat.

Many members of this community shared a history of migration into Gujarat from the southern Arabian Peninsula, north Africa, Iran, Central Asia and the neighboring territories of the Indian subcontinent. I analyze two key aspects related to the making of a community of ii learned Muslim men in the fifteenth century - the production of a variety of texts in Persian and Arabic by learned Muslims and the construction of tomb shrines sponsored by the sultans of Gujarat.
