  • Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation by Communities in a Tribal Region of Central Himalaya: a Study from Uttarakhand Himalaya India
    Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation by Communities in a Tribal Region of Central Himalaya: A Study from Uttarakhand Himalaya India Dinesh Pratap* ABSTRACT Impact of climate change is more pronounced in ecologically fragile mountain areas such as Himalayas where rapid altitudinal change results in high degree of variation in relief, natural vegetation and hydrology within short horizontal distance. The area selected for this study is located in Uttarakhand Himalaya which forms parts of Central Himalayan region of India. It is a mountainous tract with altitudinal range of 450mt to 3000mt and experiences cool- temperate climate. While forests cover 44% of the area, the cropping area is less than 10 % and another 43% is occupied by Common Pool Resources’ area. The tribal population comprises of 56% whereas another marginal community, the Scheduled Castes, makes up 34% of total population. The area and lags behind in development with low literacy rate (55%), poor health facilities and 70% of population being below poverty line. The climate data from regional meteorological observatories situated at distant locations from study area show the increase of average temperature by 0.50 C, decrease in rainfall, upward shifting of vegetation line etc in last 40 years. The Vulnerability Atlas of Indian Agriculture has classified the area as moderately vulnerable and having low adaptation capability. Thus it was chosen for understanding the impending climate change impacts and adaptation strategies. The analysis presented in the paper, apart from some secondary information, is based on climate data from local weather stations and primary survey conducted in six villages situated between altitude 900mt and 2000mt.

  • Cultural History of Indian Subcontinent; with Special Reference to Arts and Music
    1 Cultural History of Indian subcontinent; with special reference to Arts and Music Author Raazia Hassan Naqvi Lecturer Department of Social Work (DSW) University of the Punjab, www.pu.edu.pk Lahore, Pakistan. Co-Author Muhammad Ibrar Mohmand Lecturer Department of Social Work (DSW) Institute of Social Work, Sociology and Gender Studies (ISSG) University of Peshawar, www.upesh.edu.pk Peshawar, Pakistan. 2 Introduction Before partition in 1947, the Indian subcontinent includes Pakistan, India and Bangladesh; today, the three independent countries and nations. This Indian Subcontinent has a history of some five millennium years and was spread over the area of one and a half millions of square miles (Swarup, 1968). The region is rich in natural as well as physical beauty. It has mountains, plains, forests, deserts, lakes, hills, and rivers with different climate and seasons throughout the year. This natural beauty has deep influence on the culture and life style of the people of the region. This land has been an object of invasion either from the route of mountains or the sea, bringing with it the new masses and ideas and assimilating and changing the culture of the people. The invaders were the Aryans, the Dravidians, the Parthians, the Greeks, the Sakas, the Kushans, the Huns, the Turks, the Afghans, and the Mongols (Singh, 2008) who all brought their unique cultures with them and the amalgamation gave rise to a new Indian Cilvilization. Indus Valley Civilization or Pre-Vedic Period The history of Indian subcontinent starts with the Indus Valley Civilization and the coming of Aryans both are known as Pre-Vedic and Vedic periods.

PART 3: COMMENTARY “The God of Death Takes Half of Our Children”: Health of Women and Children in the Sundarbans Islands Bipasha Biswas, PhD, MSW Abstract: Grassroots level health care workers provided insights into rural women’s health concerns at a program development workshop held at Sundarban Islands in West Bengal, India. This report describes these narratives and identifi es strategies for potential interven- tion plans. The narratives suggest layers of disenfranchisement compounded by gender inequality and geographic instability. Key words: Sundarbans, maternal and child health, girl- child, grassroots- level health care workers, India he Sundarbans group of islands is home to over three million people where the Tthreat of natural disasters including cyclones and droughts are as common as the daily ebb and fl ow of water in this land of 18 ebbs and tides.1 The islands, along with the region under the territory of Bangladesh, form the largest delta in the world at the confl uence of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers.2 This island nation is perhaps best known for the Royal Bengal Tigers and other fl ora and fauna including the now threatened mangrove forest, and species of snakes, spotted deer, and birds.

  • Surviving in the Sundarbans: Threats and Responses
    SURVIVING IN THE SUNDARBANS: THREATS AND RESPONSES focuses on the conduct of different groups and various agencies, and attempts to understand this conduct in the context of deteriorating ecosystem integrity, and heightened vulnerability of human society, where natural processes are averse to human presence, and where the development process is weak. The study explores the socio-political and physical complexities within which sustainable development strategies need to be developed. The emphasis is not so much on how to develop these strategies but on understanding the contrasting forces, competing interests, and contradictions in operation. DANDA In this study the concept of collective or self-organised action is used as an analytical tool to help unravel the complex interactions that take place at different levels and to shed light on conditions associated with better management of the various contradictions at play in the eco-region. Surviving in the Sundarbans: It is argued that the unique eco-region of the Sundarbans requires special policy measures to address ecological sustainability and distributional equity, to overcome the ills that undermine human well-being, and to ensure that Threats and Responses people of this eco-region have the choices to live the way they like and value what they have reason to value.

  • India – a Guide to Business Culture and Practices
    India – A Guide to Business Culture and Practices http://www.executiveplanet.com/index.php?title=India India – A Guide to Business Culture and Practices One of the most striking features about India, which any foreign traveler must appreciate, is the size and diversity of this country. Given its vastness and variety, there is no single way to understand India. In fact, one observer once commented that 'India as a nation exists only in the minds of its population.' Many travelers find India unpredictable and confusing because they fail to grasp this point. The following paragraphs will give a perspective to understand one's experience of India. Geography and Climate India is the seventh largest country in the world in terms of size, with a total landmass of 3,287,590 sq km. Located in South Asia, it has land boundary of 14,107km with its neighbors [Pakistan, China, Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal and Bhutan] and a coastline of 7,000km, which stretches across the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean. On average, the Indian climate varies from tropical to temperate. However, in reality, India has a multiplicity of climates and terrains across its regions, which ranges from snow-peaked Himalayas in the north, desert in the west, thick rain forests in the north-east, flat green pastures in the Gangetic planes, and plateaus in south and central India. In general, October to March is a better period to visit India, which marks the winter season. During this time, the temperature can go as low as 2-3oC in the Northern mountains of India.
