  • Baseline Survey of Minority Concentration Districts
    BaselineBaseline Survey Survey of of Minority Minority Concentration Concentration Districts: An Overview of the Findings Districts: An Overview of the Findings D. Narasimha Reddy* I Introduction It is universally recognized that promotion and protection of the rights of persons belonging to minorities contribute to the political and social stability of the countries in which they live. India, a country with a long history and heritage, is known for its diversity in matters of religion, language and culture. ‘Unity in diversity’ is an oft-repeated characterization of India as well as a much-cherished aspiration, reflected in the constitutional commitment relating to the equality of citizens and the responsibility of the State to D.preserve, Narasimha protect and assure Reddy the rights of the minorities. Over the years, the process of development in the country did raise questions about the fair share of minorities, and point towards certain groups of them being left behind. “Despite the safeguard provided in the Constitution and the law in force, there persists among the minorities a feeling of inequality and discrimination. In order to preserve secular traditions and to promote National Integration, the Government of India attaches the highest importance to the enforcement of the safeguards provided for the minorities and is of firm view that effective institutional arrangements are urgently required for the enforcement and implementation of all the safeguards provided for the minorities in the Constitution, in the Central and State Laws and in the government policies and administrative schemes enunciated from time to time.” (MHA Resolution Notification No. II-16012/2/77 dated 12.01.1978).

    Semester 6th ---------Unit 3rd 3.5 Muga culture and its endemic nature to Assam: The golden silk Muga is the pride of Assam which is associated with Assamese culture and tradition Muga culture is the monopoly of Assam Muga is an endemic silkworm species prevalent in the Brahmaputra valley and adjoining hills by virtue of its typical agro-climatic condition Assam alone contributes 95% of the total Muga raw silk production. The precious glittering golden yellow silk-Muga is exclusive and endemic to Assam and the North Eastern Region of India since nowhere in the world Muga silk can be produced Assam is the state producing all types of natural silk fibre Assam state contributing highest production of two types of silk i.e. Muga & Eri. Muga silkworm (Antheraea assamensis Helfer) is endemic to Assam and adjoining areas in North-Eastern India, and naturally produces golden silk. From time immemorial, many ethnic and tribal groups have produced muga silk. Muga silkworms are mostly wild unlike the mulberry silkworm, which is completely domesticated. The North-Eastern states of India, Sikkim, Assam, Nagaland, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Manipur, are the main centers of wild silk culture, using silk collected from muga (A. assamensis Helfer), eri (S. ricini Donovan), oak tasar (A. proylei Jolly), mulberry (B. mori L.) and tasar moths (A. mylitta Drury). One of these silkworms needs special mention, it is the muga silkworm (A. assamensis), which produces golden silk and is endemic to Northeast India. The muga silkworm has been exploited commercially for several decades but there is little information on its distribution, genetic diversity, host plant preferences etc.
