  • Nesting in Paradise Bird Watching in Gujarat
    Nesting in Paradise Bird Watching in Gujarat Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Limited Toll Free : 1800 200 5080 | www.gujarattourism.com Designed by Sobhagya Why is Gujarat such a haven for beautiful and rare birds? The secret is not hard to find when you look at the unrivalled diversity of eco- Merry systems the State possesses. There are the moist forested hills of the Dang District to the salt-encrusted plains of Kutch district. Deciduous forests like Gir National Park, and the vast grasslands of Kutch and Migration Bhavnagar districts, scrub-jungles, river-systems like the Narmada, Mahi, Sabarmati and Tapti, and a multitude of lakes and other wetlands. Not to mention a long coastline with two gulfs, many estuaries, beaches, mangrove forests, and offshore islands fringed by coral reefs. These dissimilar but bird-friendly ecosystems beckon both birds and bird watchers in abundance to Gujarat. Along with indigenous species, birds from as far away as Northern Europe migrate to Gujarat every year and make the wetlands and other suitable places their breeding ground. No wonder bird watchers of all kinds benefit from their visit to Gujarat's superb bird sanctuaries.

  • Genealogical Classification of New Indo-Aryan Languages and Lexicostatistics
    Anton I. Kogan Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Russia, Moscow); [email protected] Genealogical classification of New Indo-Aryan languages and lexicostatistics Genetic relations among Indo-Aryan languages are still unclear. Existing classifications are often intuitive and do not rest upon rigorous criteria. In the present article an attempt is made to create a classification of New Indo-Aryan languages, based on up-to-date lexicosta- tistical data. The comparative analysis of the resulting genealogical tree and traditional clas- sifications allows the author to draw conclusions about the most probable genealogy of the Indo-Aryan languages. Keywords: Indo-Aryan languages, language classification, lexicostatistics, glottochronology. The Indo-Aryan group is one of the few groups of Indo-European languages, if not the only one, for which no classification based on rigorous genetic criteria has been suggested thus far. The cause of such a situation is neither lack of data, nor even the low level of its historical in- terpretation, but rather the existence of certain prejudices which are widespread among In- dologists. One of them is the belief that real genetic relations between the Indo-Aryan lan- guages cannot be clarified because these languages form a dialect continuum. Such an argu- ment can hardly seem convincing to a comparative linguist, since dialect continuum is by no means a unique phenomenon: it is characteristic of many regions, including those where Indo- European languages are spoken, e.g. the Slavic and Romance-speaking areas. Since genealogi- cal classifications of Slavic and Romance languages do exist, there is no reason to believe that the taxonomy of Indo-Aryan languages cannot be established.

  • Being Memon, Expressing Life in Kutchi
    ! ! Language Past, Present and Future: Being Memon, Expressing Life in Kutchi Sunday, September 1, 2019 by Fatema Motiwala My Community Origins When asked that standard question, “Where are you from?” I usually reply, “Oh, I am from an Indian background. I keep it short and sweet. Of course, “Indian” is too general a term to be meaningful. It is a referent to and shorthand for what is actually a people that are from hundreds of different milieus: cultural, linguistic, religious, geographic and other features make “Indian” a sweeping generalization. One of which includes my own community, the ‘Memon’ community: we are an ethnic group that originated from lower Sindh, India. It was early in the 15th century that 700 families, belonging to the Lohana caste of Hindus, accepted Islam and founded my community. With this conversion came the change of a different lifestyle than those of their forefathers, and the converts came to be known as ‘Memons.’ They created a native language for themselves, known as Kutchi, and integrated with the culture of new lands. Being traders during British colonial rule, Memons migrated to various parts of India, primarily to Gujarat where I was born. Memons have been called the “sailor businessmen of India (Sait, 2014)” who dispersed from Sindh and Gujarat, settling and opening businesses in various Indian cities and faraway regions in the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Memons are scattered throughout Africa, though primarily within South Africa, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania where the Kutchi language is spoken, and the Memon community is strong. Being Institutionally Visible and Socially Invisible My mother tongue is an Indo-Aryan language called Kutchi.

  • Khatri Community and Development of Handicraft Industries in Kutch *Dilip
    Volume : 1 | Issue : 10 | October 2012 ISSN - 2250-1991 Research Paper History Khatri community and development of handicraft industries in Kutch *Dilip Kataria * Assistant Professor, Department of History, The M.S. University of Baroda. ABSTRACT Khatri community across the country is generally understood as a trading community. However, Western India records them differently. The earliest archival demographic records detail them belonging to Hindu and Muslim Categories. My region of enquiry is Kutch and community is Muslim khatris. Anjar, Mundra, Nakhtrana and Bhuj record them as dyers since 18th century. A historic profile of this community since 18th century further establish them as workers in variety of crafts related to textile industry along with dying skill. This paper sketches their professional profile since 18th century till date; transformation under which this community has undergone in terms of entrepreneurship and finally as an identity in the Gujarat region. Khatri community is well known for its business acumen since Patae clan who was afraid of being burnt after death came to antiquity in Northern India particularly undivided Punjab. The Mundra about nine generation back and took shelter in the Is- origin of Khatris is somewhat ambiguous as oral Historiogra- maili Khoja guest house and embraced Islam and got settled phy establishes their linkage back to the time of the Paras- there8 . Other account states that their male ancestors were uram, a mythological figure. Khatri derives its origin from the forced to embrace Islam

  • 23Rd November 2014
    CURRENT AFFAIRS Newspaper Analysis and Summary – 23rd November 2014 NATIONAL ‘More fresh water needed to save Sunderbans ecosystem’- The Hindu The present flow of fresh water in the Sunderbans is insufficient to maintain its unique ecosystem, with additional supply required to save the archipelago from degradation, a study by Jadavpur University’s School of Oceanographic Studies (SOS) and IIT Roorkee have revealed. The study is part of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s ‘Ecosystem For Life: a Bangladesh-India Initiative’ in which researchers from both the countries have collaborated. “The pilot study indicates that the present level of flow is insufficient to maintain the ecosystems and ecosystem services in Sunderban even at the present level. We need more water in the lean period,” SOS director Sugata Hazra told The Hindu on Saturday. Sunderbans, he added, needs 507 cubic metres per second (cumec) of fresh water and the Hooghly 1200 cumec. Sunderbans, a UNESCO world heritage site with over 300 species of plants 600 species of wildlife, is the home of Royal Bengal tigers. It is spread over West Bengal and Bangladesh and has 8 million inhabitants. The study was carried out in two spots in the archipelago: Swarupganj on the Hooghly and Majdia on the trans-boundary Ichamati river, and studied four indicators: the Gangetic dolphins, Sundari trees, Hilsa migration and navigation. Over the past few years, Sundari trees, from which Sunderbans derives its name, have dwindled in numbers while the number of salinity-tolerant Avicennia sp has gone up; sightings of dolphins too have decreased.
