Scientific forestry refers to a system of cutting trees controlled by the forest department in which old trees are cut and new ones are planted. Under scientific forestry— (a) Natural forests which had different types of trees were cut down and new ones belonging to one type of tree was planted in straight rows. (b) Forest officials estimated how much of plantation area to be cut every year. (c) The area cut was replanted so that it was ready to be cut again in some years. 9. The practice of shifting cultivation was banned by the European foresters because: (a) They felt that land which was used for cultivation every few years could not grow trees for railway timber. (b) They felt that when a forest was burnt, there was danger of flames spreading and burning valuable timber. (c) Shifting agriculture also made it difficult for the government to calculate taxes. 10. (a) In shifting cultivation, parts of forests are cut and burnt in rotation. (b) Seeds are sown in the ashes after the first monsoon rains and the crop is harvested by October–November. (c) Such plots are cultivated for a couple of years or till the time the soil contains fertility and then abandoned or left fallow. (d) A mixture of crops is grown on these plots. WORKSHEET–2 1.

S O L U T I O N S E C O N D T E R M 3 5. Forests are important for us in many ways: (a) They help maintaining ecological atmosphere and serve as an important source of many useful products. (b) They provide us food, clothing, fuel, industrial raw material, fodder. (c) They provide us a variety of herbs and roots which are used for medicinal purposes. We can not think a life without forests. 6. The provisions of the Forests Act of 1878: (a) The Act divided forests into three categories–reserved, protected and village forests. (b) The best forests were called ‘reserved forests’. (c) Villagers could not take anything from these forests, even for their own use. (d) For house building or fuel, they could take wood from protected or village forests. 7. Causes for deforestation in India during British rule are: (a) Increase in population led to the growth in demand for food and expansion of cultivation. (b) Increased demand for timber due to expansion of railways and shipbuilding purposes. (c) Large areas of forests were cleared for plantation purposes. 8. World War I and World War II had a major impact on forests. (a) In India, wars led to reckless cutting of forests to meet British war needs. In Java, the Dutch followed ‘a scorched earth’ policy destroying sawmills and burning huge piles of giant teak logs so that they would not fall into the hands of the advancing Japanese. (b) After Java fell into the Japanese hands, the Japanese exploited the forests for their own war industries, forcing forest villagers to cut down forests. (c) Many local people took advantage of war situation and usurped forest lands and expanded cultivation. (d) The forests during war times became no man’s land and were subject to abundant plunder and destruction. WORKSHEET–3 1. Chhattisgarh 2. Pargana 3. In 1865 4. The need to manage forests for shipbuilding and railways led to the introduction of forest service. In 1882, 280,000 sleepers were exported from Java alone. Much labour was required to cut the trees, transport logs and prepare the sleepers. The Dutch had to take free labour. Hence, they first imposed rents on all the cultivated forest land. Then they exempted some villages from these rents if they were willing to work collectively to provide free labour and transport facilities. This practice was known as the Blandongdiensten system. 5. The Kalangs of Java were a community of skilled forest cutters and shifting cultivators. It was difficult to harvest teak without their expertise. The Dutch were aware of this. Hence, they wanted to make the Kalangs work for them when they started establishing control over the forests in the 18th century. But the Kalangs were not ready for this. They resisted by attacking a Dutch fort at Joana. However, their uprising was crushed. 6.

Biswas and vetted by the author.) Reviewed by Vijay Kumar Roy* Padma Shri Dr. Shyam Singh Shashi is an eminent Hindi poet, anthropologist and social scientist. He has Encyclopedia of Humanities and Social Sciences (50 volumes), Encyclopedia of Indian Tribes (12 volumes), Encyclopedia of World Women (10 volumes) and Encyclopedia Indica (150 volumes); many poetry collections and other important books to his credit. The present book, Nomads of India (2015) is a great contribution to the knowledge of mankind. The book presents anthropological, historical and sociocultural studies of nomadic communities of India. This is the result of extensive studies on these communities in India and abroad by the writer. In the preface of the book the writer mentions about his amazement that we usually talk about the great world travellers – Columbus, Vasco-De-Gama, Fi-yan and When-Sang but not those nomads who have been travelling since ages from the Himalayas to Kanyakumari and also to different countries. They are neglected and disadvantaged groups of the society. The writer intends to create “an awareness among the young readers about the forgotten and neglected communities and to work for their well- being in missionary spirit.” (6) The book has ten chapters, each dealing with different groups and kinds of nomads living in different parts of India and the world. In the first chapter, the writer finds that nomads are ‘a proud and self-reliant community’.

    Consortium for Research on Educational Access, Transitions and Equity South Asian Nomads - A Literature Review Anita Sharma CREATE PATHWAYS TO ACCESS Research Monograph No. 58 January 2011 University of Sussex Centre for International Education The Consortium for Educational Access, Transitions and Equity (CREATE) is a Research Programme Consortium supported by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). Its purpose is to undertake research designed to improve access to basic education in developing countries. It seeks to achieve this through generating new knowledge and encouraging its application through effective communication and dissemination to national and international development agencies, national governments, education and development professionals, non-government organisations and other interested stakeholders. Access to basic education lies at the heart of development. Lack of educational access, and securely acquired knowledge and skill, is both a part of the definition of poverty, and a means for its diminution. Sustained access to meaningful learning that has value is critical to long term improvements in productivity, the reduction of inter- generational cycles of poverty, demographic transition, preventive health care, the empowerment of women, and reductions in inequality. The CREATE partners CREATE is developing its research collaboratively with partners in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

This year’s IUAES Inter-congress is intended to provide participants with an opportunity to dis- cuss and develop a comprehensive insight into the diversity of ways in which scientific research and scholarship can be, has been or will be employed to understand and engage in social pro- cesses and to consider the various risks brought about by new technologies, global economic development, changes in the world’s demographic structure and the increased complexity of managing contemporary societies. In particular, it will consider the extent to which and how privatization of knowledge has become a serious global socio-political threat, not only because it often precludes the general public from knowing about or understanding important new insights in scientific research and scholarship, but also because it results in knowledge being more and more unevenly distributed around the globe to the extent that, if knowledge is privatized, the global south will increasingly be deprived of access to new knowledge and the potential to use it to improve life. The ethnological and anthropological sciences encompass an abundance of different research fields and perspectives, particularly as they develop in diverse parts of the world.

Teachers College Columbia University, USA Abstract Even in the post Education for All (EFA) era, nomadic groups remain largely absent from educational policy and services. Additionally, there is a severe lack of scholarship in the field of nomadic education, with information on groups in Pakistan completely missing from the current discourse. I conducted a qualitative analysis of interviews of the members of the Bakarwal community. This study provides an examination of fresh data and it also functions as a baseline research for future studies on the Bakarwal nomads in Pakistan. I used a mixed methods approach in this study to better understand the educational goals of nomadic groups and to consider alternative methods of education to achieve these goals. In order to determine the benefits and associated challenges of education as perceived by the Bakarwal community eight interviews in total were conducted; two focus group interviews with recent settlers and one with the old settlers of the transhumant Bakarwal community.

  • A Comparative Study India, Mongolia, Jordan Mobile Pastoralist
    A Comparative study India, Mongolia, Jordan Mobile Pastoralist Communities around the World Introduction Approximately 32,000 people belong to the Bedouin and non-Bedouin mobile pastoralist communities of the West Bank. Mobile pastoralist communities in the West Bank are traditionally herders, migrating with their livestock to different locations according to the season. The majority of Bedouin communities in the West Bank are refugees who were uprooted from their land following the 1948 War. These communities are uniquely vulnerable. They are classified as refugees, but are rarely included in the systems of aid that are granted to refugees living in refugee camps. Most of them live on land they do not own, and have been forced to assume a sedentary lifestyle, barring them from practicing their traditional livelihoods and restricting their access to income. After countless meetings and conversations with men and women from dozens of communities, and as our understanding of the challenges faced by Bedouin communities grew, a need arose to understand how the experiences of mobile pastoralist communities in the West Bank compare to those of mobile pastoralists across the world. To what extent are local spatial planning regimes in other countries taking into account the needs and lifestyles of the mobile pastoralist communities under their jurisdiction? In what ways are local governments providing services such as health clinics, schools, and water and electricity infrastructure to mobile pastoralist communities? What lessons can be learned from the successes and failures of other countries in respecting and promoting the particular mobile pastoralist lifestyle, and how could we implement these lessons in different contexts? With these questions in mind, we offer three case studies on the mobile pastoralist communities in Inner Mongolia, India, and Southern Jordan.

    NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Social Science HISTORY – Pastoralists in the Modern World 1. What are the two levels by which social changes occurred in Maasai society? Ans. First, the traditional difference based on age, between the elders was disturbed, but it was not completely broken it. Second, a new distinction between the wealthy and poor pastoralists developed. 2. What is meant by kafila? Ans. In winter, when the high mountains were covered with snow, the pastoralists lived with their herds in the low hills of the Siwalik range. The dry scrub forests here provided pasture for their herds. By the end of April they began their northern march for their summer grazing grounds. Several households came together for this journey, forming what is known as a kafila. 3. Trace the movement of pastoralist nomads in the plains. Ans. Banjaras were well-known group of graziers. They were to be found in the villages of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. In search of good pastureland for their cattle, they moved over long distances, selling plough cattle and other goods to villagers in exchange for grain and fodder. 4. Trace the movement of nomads of India in the desert. Ans. In the deserts of Rajasthan lived the Raikas. Over vast stretches no crop could be grown. So the Raikas combined cultivation with pastoralism. During the monsoons, the Raikas stayed in their home villages, where pasture was available. By October, when these grazing grounds were dry and exhausted, they moved out in search of other pasture and water, and returned again during the next monsoon.

  • Research Process Rabaris of Kutch-History Through Legends
    50 Bina Sengar Research Process 2(1) January –June 2014, pp. 50-61 © Social Research Foundation Rabaris of Kutch-History Through Legends Bina Sengar Assistant Professor, Department of History and AIC Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad-431004 Email: [email protected] The research paper is an ethnographic study of the Rabari community of Kutch. The available studies on Rabaris are based on narratives’ of life and history of Rabaris through the anthropological surveys conducted during the British colonial times. The following study is based on the field works conducted in the region of Kutch and thereafter through the primary and secondary versions of the folk memories of the Rabari community which remains the significant identity of the Rann and its regions in Kutch. [Key Words: Jath, Kutch, Legend, Rabari, Rann] Kutch presents an epitome of the larger story of India constant invasions; a fusion of cultures; a dawning sense of nationalism, Kutchi annals are full of dramatic episodes; there is a remarkable wealth of ‘remembered history’ little of which has been written down” -William Rushbrook (1984:1) Kutch: The Land of Legends If one would go beyond history in the realm of a legend, several facets of cultural and their practices come to our knowledge. The value of these legends becomes more and more of importance when there is a paucity of any other written form of knowledge and sources to substantiate. The history of the common people very often lacks bardic literature or chronicles to represent their presence in past. Therefore, to traces their past value of their folk traditions becomes an invaluable source to study their past.

  • Mirasi System in Pre-Colonial South India
    Mirasi System in Pre-Colonial South India MIZUSlDMA, Tsukasa Tokyo University of Foreign Studies I. Mirasi System In the pre-colonial South Indian society land had been located and incorporated in the nexus of social relationship. Any rights viewed to be landed had been just one of the expressions in it. It has been elsewhere presented by the author a view to understand pre-colonial south Indian so­ ciety from the aspect of 'share distribution system' (Mizushima 1986). The village produce in pre-colonial period was divided into many shares in the shapes of dues, state tax, or cultivators' share. Lives of those engaged in production activities were maintained by these shares in the produce, which had been customarily established and linked to the assigned roles in maintaining the pre-coloniallocal society. Such customary right like inheritance or inherited right was called kliTJi and the person with such right was called kliTJiyatchikkliran in Tamil. In the British revenue ad­ ministration the right was generally designated as mirasi, an Arabic term, and the holder was called mirasidlir. Their right had been so fIrmly established that it was transferable either by sale, mortgage, or inheritance. The system constituted the core of the local society. Economic structure, class struc­ ture, and other features of the society were expressed in it in the pre-colonial period. The author named such system as mirasi system. One of the most salient features of the mirasi system was its high flexibility and adjustability to an emerging new situation. The right to the share was linked not necessarily with the recipient but with the role performed by him.
