(Authors) [vi] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY mpact of developmental activities on urban biodiversity is an important aspect of urban ecology that often gets neglected. Negative ecological impacts of linear Iintrusions, such as roads are increasingly being recognized and reported from different parts of the world (Fahrig and Rytwinski, 2009; Forman and Alexander, 1998; Spellerberg and Morrison, 1998; Rajvanshi et al. 2001, Rajvanshi & Mathur 2015). At the request of the Karnataka Forest Department, SACON undertook a study to evaluate avifauna in the proposed area of road widening, along the ring road around the Gulbarga city, Karnataka. During November 2017, we documented the avifauna through extensive bird surveys along the ring road as well as from other major green areas of the city. The study documented the avifauna composition of the overall Gulbarga city with special reference to evaluation of the role of roadside trees along the proposed stretch of road widening in supporting the Avifauna. The past data from the area was also collated from secondary sources (www.ebird.org) for the preparation of final checklist. With a total of 162 bird species (including secondary information) Gulbarga city is rich in its avifaunal community. During the surveys as part of the present study, 114 bird species, belonging to 16 orders and 51 families, were recorded from Gulbarga. The present study was limited to a single season survey and the past records of additional bird species reported from the city were also collated from authentic secondary sources for the generation of final checklist for the city. Road widenings do impact the environment especially when there is wilderness and associated biodiversity along the road edges. Direct impacts such as road kills and indirect impacts such as habitat loss and fragmentation are the major impacts from road projects. The

  • Karnataka State India Name Changes
    INFORMATION PAPER Karnataka State, India: Name Changes Karnataka is a state in South West India. The official language of the state is Kannada1. Karnataka comprises 30 second-order administrative divisions, known as districts 2. The governor of Karnataka has issued a notification, which came into effect on 1st November 2014, officially changing the spellings of the names of 12 cities in the state to reflect the names in the local Kannada language. Several of these cities are the administrative seats of the districts of the same name. While the official notification refers to the cities, it appears that the district names are also changing3. These name changes are not yet reflected on all Indian government websites. The previous spellings are still used in the list of districts on the Official Website of the Government of Karnataka, but the new names are included on the National Informatics Centre (NIC) website4 and they can also be found on some district and city websites (see the table on the next page). It is likely to be some time before all names on signs are updated to reflect the changes5 and institutions such as Mysore University and Bangalore University are expected to retain their existing names6. PCGN policy for India is to use the Roman-script geographical names found on official sources7. The new names listed on the next page should be used for the populated places and the districts on all future UK government products or updates. In cases where the previous name is well-known or differs significantly from the new name, e.g.

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITY STUDIES Vol 3, No 1, 2011 ISSN: 1309-8063 (Online) SUFI SAINTS IN KARNATAKA Maruti KAMBLE Karnatak University Professor and Chairman Dept. of History and Archaeology, Dharwad - 580003. Karnataka State - INDIA E-mail: [email protected] -Abstract- Karnataka is one of the most important southern states of India. It has gained prominence politically, socio-economically, philosophically and in many other ways. It is a meeting place of many religious philosophies and a melting point helping to achieve the synthesis of the teaching of many religious reforms. Sufism is a mystic religion. It is an offshoot of Islam. Sufi saints are the followers of ALLAH and the practice of peace, benevolence and tolerance. They promulgated a religion based on the concept of love, the love with the fellow being and the love with the ultimate or the creator. Sufi saints and Sufism are an existing reality in Indian socio-religious fold and it has contributed for a healthy and amicable social order. It has lead to a new social set-up full of values, and discipline. Sufism as a religion of the teaming millions became the practicing system among the people of India as well as Karnataka. This study of Sufi Saints in Karnataka is thus an inspired attempt to portray this religion of the soul and heart. Much emphasis is laid on the concepts and special aspects of Sufism, along with various practices found in it. I was always attracted by its spiritual significance and practical essence and also its profound influence on the general public.

But in practice, no society is completely organised and we find that there are elements of organisation and also disorganisation. The primitive as well as the modern society exhibits certain elements of organisation and disorganisation and there are degrees of social organisation and degrees of social disorganisation. In a dynamic society, social structure is always in a process of chan§re ann the elements of organisaticn and disorganisation always exist side by side. ~~ile the elements of social organisation develop those relat ionships which persons and groups find satisfactory, the elements of disorganisation replace such relationships and bring d isap-poj ntment , irritation an d unhappiness.

  • ADIL SHAHI MOSQUES in KARNATAKA Maruti T
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITY STUDIES Vol 4, No 1, 2012 ISSN: 1309-8063 (Online) ADIL SHAHI MOSQUES IN KARNATAKA Maruti T. Kamble Department of History and Archaeology Karnatak University Dharwad - 580003 Karnataka State, India. E-mail: [email protected] -Abstract- This paper concentrates on the mosques (masjids) of the period of the Adil Shahis, one of the Muslim dynasties which had Turkish origin that ruled Karnataka along with the other parts of the Deccan. A Mosque is primarily a religious building for the performance of the daily prayers for five times, one of the five pillars of Islam. It is thus, the most important building for Muslims. Mosques in Karnataka have a long history and tradition. The Adil Shahis constructed mosques in Maharastra, Andra Pradesh and other parts of Karnataka State. Karnataka “the priceless gift of indulgent nature” is a unique blend of glorious past and rich present, situated on the lower West Coast of South India. It was ruled by the Muslim dynasties from the middle of the 14th century to 18th century. The Adil Shahis ruled Karnataka from 1489 A.D., to 1686 A.D., and wielded a great political power over many parts of Karnataka. The founder Yusuf Adil Shah was the son of Ottoman Sultan Murad II of Turkey. In their period many secular and religious monuments were constructed. The Adil Shahi mosques were not only places of worship but also places for education and social activities. The paper examines the construction of the mosques by the Adil Shahis, their patrons and also the construction pattern, architects, features and its role in the society.

  • Turks in Karnataka
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITY STUDIES Vol 4, No 1, 2012 ISSN: 1309-8063 (Online) TURKS IN KARNATAKA Varija R. Bolar Dept. of History and Archaeology, Karnatak University, Dharwad-580003 Karnataka State, India Email : [email protected] -Abstract- The paper aims to highlight the contribution of the Turks from 14th to 18th Century A.D., in Karnataka State. The Turks came to India after the Arabs. They were very strong in their physique, expert in warfare and dedicated to Islam. In India, the Turkish rule was started by the Slave dynasty King named Qutbuddin-Aibak in the year 1206 A.D., which continued till 1287 A.D., under the reign of Ghiasuddin Balban. Afterwards another Turkish tribe, the Khilji dynasty ruled from 1292 A.D. to 1320 A.D. A third dynasty, the Tughluqs ruled from 1320 A.D. to 1414 A.D. They were a mixed race of Turks and Jats. All the dynasties ruled different parts of North India. Karnataka is a prominent State in South India. The first Turkish invasion into Karnataka was by the Khiljis. Malik Kafur, the General of Allauddin-Khilji carried many expeditions in South India during the period 1305 A.D. to 1311 A.D., because of these expeditions many Muslim soldiers remained in Karnataka. Among them some were Turks. Ulugh Khan (Muhammud-bin-Tughluq) the son of Ghiasuddin Tughluq also conducted military expeditions and captured Bidar and Basava Kalyana in Bidar district of North Karnataka. Hence again many Turks put their feet in Karnataka. Epigraphical and literary sources are found of the Turks living during the period of Vijayanagara Empire (1336 A.D.

The diversity of plant species is strongly releated to climate. The present paper Karnataka, India deals with the epilithophytes of Gulbarga fort. A total 59 species and 47 genera belonging to different 22 families have been recorded. It is observed that the number of plants was highest in the rainy season and Prashantkumar P lower in the summer season. Fort wall flora shows very poor representation of monocotyledons. It is Assistant Professor, LVD College, Raichur, Karnataka, interesting to note that the family Poaceae occupies top position among the families and the fenus Cyprus India Linn. amongest the genera. Keywords: Epilithophytes, fort, diversity, Gulbarga, Karnataka Introduction Plant study is one of the most important aspect with respect to plant diversity and its status in the existing forests of the world. Shrikanth et al., (2006) [14], Anuradha Chauhan et al., (2005), [2] [10] Bairagee and Kalita (2003) and Ramanjam and Kadamban (2001) etc. have given account of the flora of different regions of India based on the natural habitats. However there are very meager reports on fort flora such as Gopalkrishna Bhat (2004) [8] and Gandhe et al., (2007) [7] as compared to wall flora such as Singh and Chaudhary (1995), Sahu (1984) [11], Pangtey and Rawat (1987) [9], Bimal et al., (1991), Chhetri (2008) [4] etc.
