  • Trends and Pattern of Crop Diversification in Kheri District, Uttar Pradesh, India Moin Khan1, Dr
    International Journal of Environmental & Agriculture Research (IJOEAR) ISSN:[2454-1850] [Vol-5, Issue-11, November- 2019] Trends and Pattern of Crop Diversification in Kheri District, Uttar Pradesh, India Moin Khan1, Dr. Ateeque Ahmad2 Department of Geography, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh-202002 Abstract— Crop diversification in India is visualized as the shift from traditionally cultivated less remunerative crops to more remunerative crops. The process of crop diversification is a result of government efforts, market conditions, and farmers' decisions according to the physical conditions of a particular area. The study has been carried out considering Lakhimpur Kheri district as the study area. The crop diversification was estimated by applying three techniques given by Gibbs and Martin, Bhatiya and Singh. Two agricultural years 2006-07 and 2016-17 are taken for the study. The study focused on the spatial comparison in which the block is the minimum unit area for the analysis. The maps for the spatial distribution of crop diversity are generated in the Arc GIS 10.2.2. A change in the crop diversification in a decade has also been examined. There was great similarity in the results by applying all the techniques, but there was some exception in some cases. The results show that, in 2006-07, the diversification was high in the northern and southern blocks like Nighasan, Dhaurehra, Isanagar, Mitauli, and Pasgawan while the blocks lying in the western and central region registered the low intensity of diversification. While, in 2016-17, southern blocks registered high crop diversification and the diversification was low in the central region in almost all the techniques applied.

  • The Declining Share of Sikhs in the Population of India
    Centre’s Blog on Religion Data of Census 2011 Religion Data of Census 2011: VIII The Declining share of Sikhs in the population of India During 2001-11, the Sikhs have grown at a much lower rate compared to the Hindus; who themselves have grown slower than the total population of India. Sikhs have recorded decadal growth of 8.42 percent as against 16.76 percent of the Hindus and 17.72 percent of the total population. The rate of growth of Sikhs outside Punjab has been merely 4.42 percent. The data indicates not only a decline in the share of Sikhs, particularly in the Punjab and its neighbourhood, but also a widespread contraction of the absolute number of Sikhs in several States and a large number of districts across the country. The decline in the share of Sikhs has been happening for a while now, but the widespread contraction that has happened during 2001-11 seems new. The spread of Sikhs beyond the Punjabi neighbourhood is not as big as is popularly believed; now the footprint of Sikhs across the country seems to be contracting. This contraction of a community that is religiously valuable and strategically sensitive ought to be a matter of serious concern. Number and Share of Sikhs, 1951-2011 In the Table here, we have Number and Growth of Sikhs (counted), 1951-2011 compiled the number of Sikhs as Census Persons Percent Growth Growth counted in the seven decennial Year in ’000s Share Sikhs % Hindus % Censuses since 1951.

    HOW EUROPE IS INDEBTED TO THE SIKHS ? BHUPINDER SINGH HOLLAND With an introduction by Dr Harjinder Singh Dilgeer SIKH UNIVERSITY PRESS How Europe is Indebted To The Sikhs ? By BHUPINDER SINGH HOLLAND ISBN 2-930247-12-6 FOR BIBI SURJIT KAUR (MYMOTHER) & S. NIRMAL SINGH (MY BROTHER) This book is dedicated to my mother who was a pious, religious, noble and humane lady; who was a dedicated Sikh and a role model for every Sikh; and my brother S. Nirmal Singh who laid his life valiantly fighting against armed robbers in Seattle (USA) and saved the lives of his son and a friend. He had learnt this Sikh tradition from Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib who had sacrificed his life so that others may enjoy freedom. Acknowledgement It occurred to me in April 1998 that the tercentenary celebrations of the formation of the Order of Khalsa should be held across Europe. It would be a great honor to witness such a momentous occassion during my life. The first century of the Khalsa passed under the Mugals as it struggled to establish the Khalsa Raj in northern India after defeating the Mugals and stopping and pushing invaders like Ahmed Shah Abdali to the other side of the Kheber Pass. Later, Maharaja Ranjit Singh managed to establish the Sikh kingdom from the river Satluj to the Indus. The second century was passed under the British, as the Punjab was annexed by them through false means after the Anglo-Sikh Wars, and Sikhs struggled to regain their lost sovereignity. It was my opinion that the best celebration would be to remember martyrs of the 20th century.
