  • NAMASTE! (Nah-Mahs-Teh) in a Number of India’S Many Languages (Including Hindi), the Word for Hello Greetings, Good-Bye, Etc
    NAMASTE! (Nah-mahs-teh) In a number of India’s many languages (including Hindi), the word for hello greetings, good-bye, etc. Derivatives of this word include namaskar, namaskara & namaskaram. DECEMBER 2018 EDITION (Originally published April 2010) JAIPUR! India is, by its very nature, a land of great contrasts. For instance, it has been listed as both one of the driest & wettest places in the world. At Cherrapunji (in the far northeastern part of the country), it is not unusual for the total annual rainfall to be 40 FEET. In the Great Indian Desert (also called the Thar Desert), rainfall can often be less than 1 inch per year. Take a look at the great metropolitan areas of India. The 6 major ones are Bombay (now called Mumbai), Madras (now Chennai), Calcutta, Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad. This is where about 10% of the total population of the country lives. In fact, India has more cities of 1 million or more inhabitants than any other country in the world. On the other hand, India is home to over 600,000 villages that have a population of 5,000 or less. Jaipur is the capital city of Rajasthan. Rajasthan is a place of great contrast to much of the rest of India. It is a desert city, now with a population of at least 6 million people, and is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. The Rajasthani people are just— well, they are different. They are Indian, to be sure, but with a flair that is not found in other places of the country.

  • A Case Study of Pushkar Lake
    Available online a twww.scholarsresearchlibrary.com Scholars Research Library Archives of Applied Science Research, 2016, 8 (6):1-7 (http://scholarsresearchlibrary.com/archive.html) ISSN 0975-508X CODEN (USA) AASRC9 Effect of anthropogenic activities on Indian pilgrimage sites–A case study of Pushkar Lake Deepanjali Lal 1 and Joy Joseph Gardner 2 School of Life Sciences, Jaipur National University, Jagatpura, Jaipur, Rajasthan Department of Geography, University of Rajasthan, JLN Marg, Jaipur, Rajasthan _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Water is the source of life for all living beings. About two-thirds of the Earth is covered by water. Among many water bodies, Lakes are the most fertile, diversified and productive of all the ecosystems in the world. A variety of environmental goods and services are bestowed upon us by Lakes which makes them vulnerable to human exploitation. The fresh water Pushkar Lake is situated in the gap of the Aravallis and was used as the area of research for the present study. History claims that in the 20 th century, this Lake and its catchment area were a rich source of wildlife as well as a source of water for the railways for over 70 years, till 2004. The society’s demand for economic gains has resulted in the deterioration of its water quality. Two main reasons for this loss are – high rate of sedimentation due to sand-fall from the nearby sand dunes and anthropogenic practices followed in the periphery of the Lake. The water of the Lake is getting dried up because of reversal of hydraulic gradient from Lake to groundwater, leading to rapid decline in the groundwater level of the surrounding areas also.

  • Maharana Pratap
    Maharana Pratap Pratap Singh, popularly known as the Maharana Pratap, was the 13th Maharana of Mewar known for his valiant and spirited defence against the Mughal Empire. This article will give details about Maharana Pratap within the context of the civil services examinations. Early Life of Maharana Pratap Maharana Pratap belonged to the Sisodia clan of the Rajputs of Mewar. He was born on 9th May 1540 to Udai Singh II and Jaiwanta Bhai. His younger brothers were Shakti Singh, Vikram Singh and Jagmal Singh. Maharana Pratap was married to Ajabde Punwar of Bijolia. Upon the death of Udai Singh in 1572 there was a brief tussle fon who would succeed the throne of Mewar. Maharana Pratap had other stepbrothers who were also vying for the throne of Mewar. However, the senior nobles in his father’s court wanted Pratap Singh to succeed as he was the eldest son of Udai Singh II, thus he ascended to the throne of Mewar on 1st March 1572 Battle of Haldighati During the reign of Udai Singh II, the siege of Chittorgarh had led to the loss of the fertile eastern half of Mewar to the expansionist Mughal Empire. Yet the western half of Mewar which consisted of the wooded and hilly terrain near the Aravalli range was firmly under the control of the Sisodia Rajputs. Mughal Emperor Akbar was intent on securing the rest of Mewar in order to secure a stable route to the economic powerhouse of Gujarat. Upon the ascension of Maharana Pratap in 1572, Mughal Emperor Akbar sent many diplomatic missions to convince him to become a vassal of the Mughal Empire like the other Rajput rulers in the region had done so as Maharana Pratap refused to submit in person to Akbar, thus ensuring that war would be inevitable.

  • Management of Lakes in India M.S.Reddy1 and N.V.V.Char2
    10 March 2004 Management of Lakes in India M.S.Reddy1 and N.V.V.Char2 1. Introduction There is no specific definition for Lakes in India. The word “Lake” is used loosely to describe many types of water bodies – natural, manmade and ephemeral including wetlands. Many of them are euphemistically called Lakes more by convention and a desire to be grandiose rather than by application of an accepted definition. Vice versa, many lakes are categorized as wetlands while reporting under Ramsar Convention. India abounds in water bodies, a preponderance of them manmade, typical of the tropics. The manmade (artificial) water bodies are generally called Reservoirs, Ponds and Tanks though it is not unusual for some of them to be referred to as lakes. Ponds and tanks are small in size compared to lakes and reservoirs. While it is difficult to date the natural lakes, most of the manmade water bodies like Ponds and Tanks are historical. The large reservoirs are all of recent origin. All of them, without exception, have suffered environmental degradation. Only the degree of degradation differs. The degradation itself is a result of lack of public awareness and governmental indifference. The situation is changing but slowly. Environmental activism and legal interventions have put sustainability of lakes in the vanguard of environmental issues. This paper is an attempt at presenting a comprehensive view of the typical problems experienced in the better known lakes, their present environmental status and efforts being made to make them environmentally sustainable. 1.1 Data India is well known for the huge variance in its lakes, but the data is nebulous.
