    CURRENT AFFAIRS= 07-09-2020 KESAVANANDA BHARATI Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed grief over the passing away of Kesavananda Bharati Ji. About: Kesavananda Bharati was the head seer of the Edneer Mutt in Kasaragod district of Kerala since 1961. He left his signature in one of the significant rulings of the Supreme Court when he challenged the Kerala land reforms legislation in 1970. The Kesavananda Bharati judgement, is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of India that outlined the basic structure doctrine of the Constitution. Justice Hans Raj Khanna asserted through the Basic Structure doctrine that the constitution possesses a basic structure of constitutional principles and values. The doctrine forms the basis of power of the Indian judiciary to review and override amendments to the Constitution of India enacted by the Indian parliament. MOPLAH REBELLION A report submitted to the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR) in 2016 had recommended the removal of the Wagon Tragedy victims and Malabar Rebellion leaders Ali Musliyar and Variamkunnath Ahmad Haji, and Haji’s two brothers from a book on martyrs of India’s freedom struggle. CROSS & CLIMB 2019 1 About: The report sought the removal of names of 387 ‘Moplah rioters’ from the list of martyrs. The book, Dictionary of Martyrs: India’s Freedom Struggle 1857-1947, was released by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week. The report describes Haji as the “notorious Moplah Riot leader” and a “hardcore criminal,” who “killed innumerable innocent Hindu men, women, and children during the 1921 Moplah Riot, and deposited their bodies in a well, locally known as Thoovoor Kinar”.

  • Hill Agriculture: Challenges and Opportunities∗
    Ind. Jn. of Agri.Econ. Vol.66, No.1, Jan.-March 2011 Hill Agriculture: Challenges and Opportunities∗ Tej Partap† I PREFACE The Farmers Commission, “Serving farmers and saving farming” points to rising acute agricultural distress in the rainfed areas of the country, which also includes hilly areas. It lists five basic cause factors that are central to the crisis; unfinished land reforms, water scarcity, technology fatigue-access-adequacy, institutional support and opportunities for marketing. While working for the National Commission on Farmers as a hill agriculture expert, the contributions on the hill agriculture perspective, gathered knowledge and information about the Himalayan farmers’ state of affairs, of global experiences etc., made by me in compiling the hill farmers section of the main report of the commission also form the basis of this paper. The focus of this paper is on highlighting the challenges facing hill farmers and how they can be addressed. The paper first dwells on the scale and dimensions of the problems of hill farmers including the two most significant common concerns, increasing crop land scarcity and water scarcity to maintain agriculture on marginal lands. It explains various dimensions of the new thinking on marginal lands and implications. The next section, describes how similar problems were addressed by other nations successfully. To highlight the point that technological options are and have been available, the report cites examples of right technological hits of the Himalayan region. The last section analyses the opportunities to find solutions to the hill farmers’ distress. Much of the farming development efforts made in the hills in the past were based on the poor understanding of the hill/mountain conditions, resources, environment and the socio-cultural setting of the people.

Human driving forces for ecosystem services in the Himalayan region. Environmental Economics, 3(1) RELEASED ON Friday, 20 April 2012 JOURNAL "Environmental Economics" FOUNDER LLC “Consulting Publishing Company “Business Perspectives” NUMBER OF REFERENCES NUMBER OF FIGURES NUMBER OF TABLES 0 0 0 © The author(s) 2021. This publication is an open access article. businessperspectives.org Environmental Economics, Volume 3, Issue 1, 2012 Maohua Ma (Finland), Ram Babu Singh (India), Reija Hietala (Finland) Human driving forces for ecosystem services in the Himalayan region Abstract Environmental, socio-cultural and economic variations supplied by natural ecosystems in the Himalayas have led to the evolution of traditional agro-ecosystems mainly in areas of Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan and China. A multitude of natural resources aids traditional mountain farming societies to sustain themselves. However, driven by large-scale population expansion, the Himalayan environment has suffered the effects of agricultural encroachment, deforestation and consequent soil erosion. Deforestation and land degradation appear to affect a far greater proportion of the popula- tion than previously thought, contributing to floods and stagnating agricultural output. Through this paper we will dis- cuss the main drivers for the maintenance of ecosystem services of the Himalayan region, i.e., the benefits to human- kind from the resources and processes that are supplied by natural ecosystems. The authors proposed to develop a holistic approach to link the ecological and social ecosystem services. The LULC (land use/land cover) analysis can be used as a joint platform to integrate natural sciences with humanities, and optimize trade-offs between ecosystem services.

Lewis College of the Holy Cross Introduction In 1987 I heard the story of a diplomatic dinner party in Kathmandu, when a Chinese official, commenting on his country's policies in Tibet, admonished American diplomats present for their country's romantic notions about this land. He said, "Of all the people in the world, you Americans should understand our position in Tibet petfectly well. Look at the map! How could we ever relinquish our western frontier! " The recognition of frontiers is a very fundamental perception, a priori for analyzing regional Asian history.
