Keywords: 4IN/baseline information/conservation/landscape/Panthera tigris/population size/range/status/tiger Abstract: Today, confined to less than 7% of their original range, tigers are going through one of the worst crises in their evolutionary history. The Indian subcontinent, which contains most of the world's wild tigers, represents only 11% of the world's tiger habitat. We estimate that there may be less than 1,600 tigers in the whole of the Indian subcontinent and the realistic maximum number of tigers that could be supported with its current habitat would be around 3,700. Tiger conservation in the Indian subcontinent faces a range of serious and complex threats, but we believe that most of these issues are still possible to address; India showed that this was possible in the 1970s when the survival of the tiger in the country also looked bleak. Here, we summarize some of the most important issues and suggest some means by which these may be addressed to secure the future of this majestic big cat.

  • The Crafts and Textiles of Hyderabad and Telangana 11 Days/10 Nights
    The Crafts and Textiles of Hyderabad and Telangana 11 Days/10 Nights Activities Overnight Day 1 Fly U.S. to Hyderabad. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to Hyderabad your hotel by private car. Day 2 The city of Hyderabad was constructed in 1591 by King Hyderabad Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, which ruled this region of the Deccan plateau from 1507 to 1687. During this time, the Sultanate faced numerous incursions by the Mughals and the Hindu Marathas. In 1724, the Mughal governor of the Deccan arrived to govern the city. His official title was the Nizam- ul-Muluk, or Administrator of the Realm. After the death of Emperor Aurangzeb, he declared his independence and established the Asaf Jahi dynasty of Nizams. The Nizams of Hyderabad were known for their tremendous wealth, which came from precious gems mined in nearby Golconda (see Day 3), the area's natural resources, a vibrant pearl trade, agricultural taxes and friendly cooperation with the British. Much of the architecture still existing in Hyderabad thus dates from the reigns of the Qutb Shahi Sultans or the Nizams. European influences were introduced by the British in the 19th and 20th centuries. At the center of old Hyderabad sits the Charminar, or "four towers," which dates to 1591 and is surrounded by a lively bazaar and numerous mosques and palaces. This morning we will enjoy a leisurely walk through the area. We will stop to admire the colorful tile mosaics found inside the Badshahi Ashurkhana. This Royal House of Mourning was built in 1595 as a congregation hall for Shia Muslims during Muharram.

E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract- Many researchers are dealing with various types of admixtures to improve the mechanical and durability properties of concrete. In this present investigation, red soil is taken as an admixture to enhance the performance of concrete. An experimental investigation is carried out to study the behaviour of concrete by replacing the fine aggregate with locally available red soil. It involves a certain tests to find the quality improvement of concrete when red soil is added to it. The partial replacement of sand with red soil has been done according to the specific mix proportion to gain good strength in concrete and to calculate the imperviousness of red soil and also to find the special features of red soil which has the anti pest control in it. Mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and durability properties such as porosity, water permeability tests has been carried out for red soil mixed concrete and plain concrete to differentiate the strength and imperviousness in it . From the chemical properties of red soil, it is found that by replacing the fine aggregate with red soil turns the concrete as anti pest control.

  • The High Deccan Duricrusts of India and Their Significance for the 'Laterite
    The High Deccan duricrusts of India and their significance for the ‘laterite’ issue Cliff D Ollier1 and Hetu C Sheth2,∗ 1School of Earth and Geographical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, Nedlands, W.A. 6009, Australia. 2Department of Earth Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, Powai, Mumbai 400 076, India. ∗e-mail: [email protected] In the Deccan region of western India ferricrete duricrusts, usually described as laterites, cap some basalt summits east of the Western Ghats escarpment, basalts of the low-lying Konkan Plain to its west, as well as some sizeable isolated basalt plateaus rising from the Plain. The duricrusts are iron-cemented saprolite with vermiform hollows, but apart from that have little in common with the common descriptions of laterite. The classical laterite profile is not present. In particular there are no pisolitic concretions, no or minimal development of con- cretionary crust, and the pallid zone, commonly assumed to be typical of laterites, is absent. A relatively thin, non-indurated saprolite usually lies between the duricrust and fresh basalt. The duricrust resembles the classical laterite of Angadippuram in Kerala (southwestern India), but is much harder. The High Deccan duricrusts capping the basalt summits in the Western Ghats have been interpreted as residuals from a continuous (but now largely destroyed) laterite blan- ket that represents in situ transformation of the uppermost lavas, and thereby as marking the original top of the lava pile. But the unusual pattern of the duricrusts on the map and other evidence suggest instead that the duricrusts formed along a palaeoriver system, and are now in inverted relief.

  • Soyabean - Malwa Region of Madhya Pradesh
    Soyabean - Malwa Region of Madhya Pradesh What is the issue? \n\n \n Malwa region is said to be India’s US Midwest, only because of soyabean. \n The significance of this crop in Malwa region and Madhya Pradesh, calls for addressing the current challenges to its production. \n \n\n How did Soyabean take root in India? \n\n \n Soyabean in India has an American connection. The leguminous oilseed was hardly grown here till the mid-sixties. \n The first yellow-seeded soyabean varieties were introduced by University of Illinois scientists. \n They conducted field trials at the Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya (JNKVV) in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. \n Many of these varieties - Bragg, Improved Pelican, Clark 63, Lee and Hardee - were released for direct cultivation. \n By 1975-76, the all-India area under soyabean had touched around 90,000 hectares. \n But a revolution in soyabean production took place only after that and in Malwa. \n Here, soyabean’s relevance, even vis-à-vis shaping electoral outcomes, is comparable to that of sugarcane in western UP. \n \n\n How has Malwa plateau traditionally been? \n\n \n Malwa plateau region of western MP covers the districts of Dewas, Indore, Dhar, Ujjain, Jhabua, Ratlam, Mandasur, Neemuch, Shajapur and Rajgarh. \n Traditionally, the region grew only a single un-irrigated crop of wheat or chana (chickpea) during the rabi winter season. \n Farmers mostly kept their lands fallow during the kharif monsoon season. \n The reason was the monsoon’s unpredictability, as even if the rains arrived on time, it could be followed by long dry spells.

  • 1 the Political Economy of Opium Smuggling in Early Nineteenth Century India: Leakage Or Resistance? Claude Markovits Introduct
    THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF OPIUM SMUGGLING IN EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY INDIA: LEAKAGE OR RESISTANCE? CLAUDE MARKOVITS INTRODUCTION 1. The link between narcotics, imperialism and capitalism has long attracted the attention of scholars. a. Recently, Carl Trocki has reiterated the classical Marxist position, dating back to Karl Marx himself, on the incestuous relationship between drugs and empire, while recognizing that the opium trade also nurtured certain forms of indigenous capitalism in Asia. While he has focused on the global Asian opium scene, including India, China and Southeast Asia, other scholars have given more attention to the Indian context of the trade. b. Amar Farooqi, in a book which is probably the most detailed history of the opium trade as seen from India, has stressed the contribution of the 'illegal' trade in Malwa opium to capital accumulation in Western India between 1800 and 1830. c. John Richards, more than 20 years after his pathbreaking essay on peasant production of opium has returned to the topic with a wide-ranging survey of the contribution of the drug to the finances of British India. d. In this essay, Claude Markovitzproposes to revisit the history of the Malwa opium trade with a view todiscuss both i. its general impact on capital accumulation in early 19thcentury western India and its link with imperial expansion. ii. He focuses more specifically on the case of Sindh, a largely neglected region of the subcontinent, whose transformation into the main smuggling route for the drug after 1819, and according to Markoviz, was one of the factors that led to its integration into the British Indian Empire.

  • Pomegranate Culture in Deccan Plateau of India
    ® Fruit, Vegetable and Cereal Science and Biotechnology ©2010 Global Science Books Pomegranate Culture in Deccan Plateau of India Ram Chandra* • Deodas Tarachand Meshram National Research Centre on Pomegranate, NH-9 By-pass Road, Shelgi, Solapur 413 006, Maharashtra, India Corresponding author : * [email protected] ABSTRACT The Deccan Plateau is a large plateau in India, making up the majority of the southern part of the country, ranging in elevation from 100 m in the north to 1000 m in the south. The main pomegranate producing areas are distributed between 300 and 950 m above mean sea level in hot arid and semi-arid regions having tropical and subtropical climate. Interestingly, the major production of pomegranate in India is from Deccan Plateau, especially from Maharashtra followed by Karnataka. The agro-climatic condition of Deccan Plateau is congenial for staggering of pomegranate production throughout the year. Maharashtra contributes about 84% in area and 75% in production of pomegranate in Deccan Plateau. Mainly three flowering seasons viz. winter (January-February flowering), rainy season (June-July flowering) and autumn season (September-October flowering) are promoted for fruit production in this plateau. In the present paper, information pertaining to Deccan Plateau and its climatic and soil conditions and existing cultivation practices of pomegranate has been envisaged. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: climatic conditions of Deccan
