  • Chapter--- 2 Chapter-2
    CHAPTER--- 2 CHAPTER-2 THE LAND AND THE PEOPLE THE REGION The District of Maida was a part of Jalpaiguri Division in the state of West Bengal. It is located in the northern sector of the state of West Bengal. The District is formed by northern sector of the river Ganges and included in the delta formed by river Ganges and Mahananda, the two most vital rivers of the district. It occupies a strategic position in the administrative map of West Bengal for its location and communication facilities. It appears that in the District of Maida, there is a small town named "Old Maida" and it is commonly followed that the district has been derived from this town. The word "Old Maida" comes from the Arabic word 'Mal' which means 'capital' or 'wealth.' So Maida in Arabic indicates a place where financial transactions were performed and where wealth is concentrated in the hands of a large number of persons. Maida has a very rich past of its own. The history of the district is interlinked with different periods of history. In 1813, Maida was created as a new District in Bengal , outlying portion of Purnea and Dinajpur district by the British authority. But it formally became an independent administrative unit only in 1859. In that year Maida District was formed with PS Sahibganj, Kaliachak, Bholahat and Gurguriabag of the district ofPumea in Bihar, Maida and Bamongola from the District ofDinajpur, and Rohanpur and Chhupi from Rajshahi District of the present Bangladesh. Afterward some more police stations were created out of those police station areas.

Broadly, three kinds of such aeries were eou~ht to be built up 1 as proposed in the scheme. (a) ProYince-wise and district-wise areas irrigated (Cl890-1946/47) under goYern- ment canale 1 priYate canals 1 tanks 1 wells and other sources. (b) ProYince-wise and district-wise areas or crops irrigated (1920·1946/47) under rice 1 wheat 1 barley1 maise 1 jowar and other serials and non-food crops1 and (c) Financial results of irrigation projects. The first two 1 namely (a) and (b) of the aboYeo haye been completed. The third was subsequently dropped as (i) on maturer retlections1 it was feared that it would develop into a major research work by itself inYolYing considerable reading, computation and analysis. The deci­ sion was taken by the Project Director in consultation with the research worker, an economic historian and the initial formulator of the echeoe.

  • Why Dominant Parties Decline: Evidence from India's Green
    Why Dominant Parties Decline: Evidence from India’s Green Revolution* Aditya Dasgupta† Abstract Political scientists disagree whether economic growth strengthens or weakens dominant party regimes, the most common form of authoritarianism today. This paper reconciles competing arguments and develops a new theoretical explanation on the basis of a histor- ical natural experiment: the impact of the green revolution on single-party dominance in India. In contrast to modernization theory’s focus on rising incomes, I argue that changes in the economy which provide incentives for regime outsiders to capture the state can con- tribute to democratization. Fixed effects and instrumental variable analyses of panel data on high-yielding variety (HYV) crop adoption connected to 22,000 state and 3,000 parlia- mentary election races between 1957 and 1987 suggest that the green revolution accounted for half of the dominant Congress party’s long-run decline. The democratizing effect of the green revolution was due to the increasing value of agricultural subsidies, which agri- cultural producers sought to capture by supporting agrarian opposition parties. By con- trast, the green revolution caused no shift in the caste of elected MPs and income increases on their own resulting from rainfall shocks improved the dominant party’s election perfor- mance, ruling out modernization theory. The findings highlight a new class of explanations for why dominant parties decline. *For valuable feedback, I thank Sam Asher, Rikhil Bhavnani, Dipak Dasgupta, Daniel Esser, Devesh Kapur, John Marshall, Nathan Nunn, James Robinson, Prerna Singh, Steven Wilkinson, George Yin, Daniel Ziblatt, Adam Ziegfeld and seminar participants at Harvard, Yale, and the American Political Science Association Annual Meet- ing, 2013.

Seizing the opportunity of combined with a literature survey to review the taxonomy of Semnopithecus johnii, S. entellus and S. priam. Simia johnii the stopover at Mumbai, five days were spent examining the Fischer, 1829 is declared a nomen protectum. The 15 valuable colobine collection accrued by the Bombay Natural subspecies Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1966) recognized History Society (BNHS), including 56 hanuman langur for Semnopithecus entellus are reduced to seven subspecies specimens (33 skins and skulls, 10 skins only, and 13 skulls for S. entellus and two for S. priam. Type specimens are only). Together with the 146 specimens (101 skins and skulls, 13 documented, pelage colour variation described, and the nomenclature and subspecific geographic distributions skins only, and 32 skulls only) at the Natural History Museum, discussed. Two previously recognized subspecies are London (ZD); the three skulls at the Odontological Museum, reinterpreted as hybrid populations of S. entellus and S. Royal College of Surgeons, London; two skins and skulls, and johnii. The central Indian S. entellus anchises, previously three skulls at the National Museum of Natural History, Leiden; suspected as being only an intermediate between one skin and skull, and three skins at the American Museum of subspecies, is found to occupy a substantial discrete distribution.

  • District Profile Bhojpur Introduction
    DISTRICT PROFILE BHOJPUR INTRODUCTION Bhojpur district is one of the thirty-eight districts of the state of Bihar situated in western Bihar. Bhojpur comprises of four sub-divisions of Buxar, Ara Sadar, Jagdishpur and Piro. Bhojpur came into existence in 1992. Earlier this district was part of old Sahabad district. Bhojpur district retains close linkage with its parent district Shahabad. With the elevation of Buxar sub-division as a separate district in 1992, the present day Bhojpur district consisting of three sub-divisions, came into existence. Bhojpur district is bounded by the districts of Chapra, Rohtas, Patna, Jahanabad Arwal, Buxar and district Ballia of Uttar Pradesh. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND It is said that the name Ara is derived from the Sanskrit word 'ARANYA', which means forest and Aranya Devi, the forest goddess was worshipped as the deity goddess. According to Hindu mythology, sage Vishwamitra –the Guru of Lord Rama, had his hermitage in the ancient city of Arrah . The famous Chinese pilgrim traveller HIEUN-TSANG and Greek records also refer to the region. In 1764, the historic battle of Buxar fought in Ara between the East India Company and the alliance forces of Mir Kasim, the Nawab of Bengal, Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II and Shuja-ud-daulla , the Nawab of Avadh, saw the fall of the Mughal empire in India and the beginning of British colonization of India.
