The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is an inter-governmental body established in 1989 during the G7 Summit in Paris. 2.

The blacklist includes countries designated as Non-Cooperative Countries or Territories (NCCTs). These countries aid in the financing of terrorism and the laundering of money. Correct statement is/are: a) 1 only b) 2 and 3 c) 3 only d) All of the above solution b) Explanation – The world Junglemahal is used to refer four districts of the state — Purulia, Bankura, Jhargram and West Midnapore. These four districts were once affected by Maoist insurgency. It is a hilly country of Chota Nagpur in what is now the Indian state of West Bengal. The district was located in the area known as the Jungle Terry, a thickly forested region inhabited by tribal groups such as the Santhal people. BJP’s Bishnupur MP Soumitra Khan on Monday spoke about the need for a separate state of Jangalmahal, days after the party’s Alipurduar MP John Barla said that north Bengal should be made a separate state or Union territory for its “proper development”. Ans – b) 2 only Explanation – Saddle peak is highest peak in Andaman and Nicobar islands. A group of scientists at IIT-Kharagpur, in a study carried out under the Department of Science and Technology, have found that sea levels around Lakshadweep are estimated to rise between 0.4 mm and 0.9 mm annually, causing coastal erosion in many of the islands, and possibly submerging the smaller islets. The Lakshadweep archipelago comprises 36 islands of coral and reef formation in the Arabian Sea, spanning just over 32 sq km. The islands are characterized by low elevations, with maximum elevation ranging from 4-6 metres above Mean Sea Level and minimum elevations lower than 1 metre. solution d) Ans – d) None Explanation - “Coastal protection measures need to be taken now. There are two kinds that the government can adopt – soft measures, that is, the creation of mangroves, which we think is more effective. And hard engineering solutions including the building of sea walls – a proposition which is extremely expensive.” Ans - c) 1 and 2 Explanation – In an engineering feat, the repair and relining of the Indira Gandhi Canal, the country’s longest canal which terminates in irrigation facilities in Thar desert, was accomplished in a record 60-day period amid the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic, restoring 70 km of both the main canal and the feeder distributaries. The project was a race against time, as the repairs required closure of the canal system, which directly impacted the drinking and irrigation needs of 1.75 crore people as well as numerous cattle, Army cantonment along the international border and industrial usage in the border districts. Ans – d) All of the above Explanation – Pakistan’s fate at the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) will be under the scanner this week, as the global financing watchdog is holding its plenary session beginning Monday. Decision will be made on whether Islamabad stays on the grey list or gets out of it, although New Delhi has been pushing for its blacklisting for the last three years. The Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering has retained Pakistan on “enhanced follow-up” status for outstanding requirements, and Islamabad will continue to report back to it on the country’s progress to strengthen its implementation of anti-money laundering and combating financing terror measures. Pakistan was put on the grey list by the Paris-based FATF in June 2018, and the country has been struggling to come out of it. The Asia Pacific Group (APG) is a regional affiliate of FATF. The FATF will finalise key reports, including on money laundering and environmental crime, ethnically and racially motivated terrorist financing and two reports that explore the opportunities that technology can offer to improve anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing efforts. It will also finalise its second 12-month review of the implementation of revised FATF Standards for virtual assets and virtual asset service providers, and guidance on proliferation financing risk assessment and mitigation..

    http://JUDIS.NIC.IN SUPREME COURT OF INDIA Page 1 of 9 PETITIONER: SUKHDEV SINGH Vs. RESPONDENT: MAHARAJA BAHADUR OF GIDHAUR DATE OF JUDGMENT: 02/05/1951 BENCH: FAZAL ALI, SAIYID BENCH: FAZAL ALI, SAIYID MUKHERJEA, B.K. AIYAR, N. CHANDRASEKHARA CITATION: 1951 AIR 288 1951 SCR 534 ACT: Ghawali tenures--Nature and incidents--Government ghatwalis and Zemindary ghatwalis--Difference--Zemindar's right to sub-soil minerals--District Gazetteers--Evidentiary value. HEADNOTE: Though there are several instances in which Government ghatwalls were included in the zemindary of other persons, yet where no clear evidence is forthcoming as to the true character of a ghatwali, the fact that the tenure is includ- ed within a zemindary and is covered by the jama assessed upon it should turn the scale in favour of the party who alleges that it is a tenure which is dependent upon the zemindary. The mere fact that the ghatwali was shown to be under the Collector cannot alter the character of the ghatwali, i.e., if it was a zemindary ghatwali, it could not become a Government ghatwali merely because it was stated to be under the Collector. A zemindar is presumed to be the owner of underground rights in the tenancies created by him in the absence of evidence that he ever parted with them. A statement in the District Gazetteer is not necessarily conclusive, but the Gazetteer is an official document of some value, as it is compiled by experienced officials with great care after obtaining the facts from official records. (History and incidents of ghatwali tenures discussed).

  • A Special Corps by a P Coleman, 1999
    p 2 A Special Corps the beginnings of Gorkha service with the British A. P. “Jim” Coleman Prepared in electronic format from the original on the instruction of the Estate of A. P. Coleman by R Meigh. All rights reserved © Estate of A. P. Coleman 2010 Downloaded at www.philharding.net/harding ii p 3 Dedication This book has been published through the generosity of Mr and Mrs Ean Ramsay, close friends of the author. Ean Ramsay is the great-great- great-grandson of Major-General Sir David Ochterlony Bart. G.C.B (1758-1825) who, in 1815, first recruited large numbers of Gorkhas and other hillmen into the East India Company's .Bengal Army. In so doing he founded what was to become the British Indian Army's Gurkha Brigade, and, after 1947, the British Army's Brigade of Gurkhas and the Gorkha units of the Army of India. In 1850, during the Governor- Generalship of Lord Dalhousie, Chief of the Clan Ramsay, the Nasiri Battalion raised by Sir David Ochterlony was brought into the regular Bengal Army as the 66th or Goorka Regiment Ean Ramsay is a greatly respected honorary member of the Regimental Association of the 1st King George V's Own Gurkha Rifles (The Malaun Regiment) which derived from the Nasiri Battalion. Ean and Lydia Ramsay share Sir David Ochterlony's great admiration for Gorkha soldiers, so much so that they have requested that proceeds from the sale of this book be devoted to the Gurkha Welfare Trust, a most worthy charity to which they have already made generous endowments.

  • Debt, Time, and Extravagance
    Ill Debt, Time, and Extravagance ' Logic—mind's coin of the realm, the speculative or mental value of man and nature—its essence which has grown totally indifferent to all real determinations, and hence unreal—is alienated thinking, and therefore thinking which abstracts from nature and from real man: abstract thinking. ' Karl Marx1 f there was anything which made the 'primitive' absolutely different I from ^historical' societies, it was—in Bengali bhadralok perception— the rationality of money. To the Santais of Rajmahal foothill*:, money and exchange had come to represent, by the middle of the nineteenth century, an unacquittable debt to 'outsiders'. Bengali and Hindustani moneylenders had followed colonial revenue officials into the newly established markets of a physically-bounded 'interior', and the SantaTs experience of colonial markets became the experience of spiralling debt and interest from which there seemed no escape. S/he, thus, became the empirical proof of the 'primitive' condition, where people lacked the temporal foresight required for the comprehension and management of money as credit. Indeed, s/he appeared to lack that very sense of abstract time, in which money generated interest and knowledge generated long-term predictions and programmes. To the middle classes of nineteenth-century Bengal, colonialism had proved not only that commerce was a source of unlimited political power, but also that monetary competence historically coincided with unlimited and universal knowledge. At least, that seemed to be the leJson of Western modernity—that the power of money was, indeed, also the power of the abstract Idea. Nationalist discourse, therefore, 120 f Politics of Time Debt, Time, and Extravagance < 12,1 invoked both knowledge and commerce, in the same breath, as § 2 that the emergence of indebtedness as an economic experience was two absolutes which the nation must strive for.

  • People, Festival and Culture: a Study on Jangal Mahal of West Bengal
    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 1 February 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 PEOPLE, FESTIVAL AND CULTURE: A STUDY ON JANGAL MAHAL OF WEST BENGAL Koushik Dan Assistant Professor Dept. of Economics APC Roy Govt. College, Siliguri, West Bengal, India Abstract: Jangal Mahal of West Bengal is comprised of three districts, namely Paschim Medinipur, Bankura and Purulia. These three districts bear some special character compared to plains of Bengal. Among inhabitants SCs and STs are dominant. A special sub caste, Kurmi Kshatriyas are there also. Their festivals are different, their culture is also different. Apparently they are resting in a situation that may be regarded as anachronistic. Still they are extracting pleasure from their impoverishment. In this study I have tried to focus light on the speciality of the region. Index terms: Jangal Mahal, Demography, Culture, Anachronistic I. Introduction Three districts of present West Bengal, Paschim Medinipur, Bankura and Purulia are unitedly named as Jangal Mahal. Once, during British rule there was a district, Jungle Terry and then Junglemahal or simply Mahal. At that time it was a larger district, comprised of parts of present Bihar, Orissa, Birbhum and Burdwan. Historically the area has been isolated from mainstream Bengal. Jangal Mahal is a region where classes other than general caste have seer domination among the residents. Among them tribes and Mahatos inherit values that are different compared to other castes of the state. These groups as far as possible have protected their age old culture. Since the ages of Aryan invasion Santals, Kol, Bhil, Mundas and other tribal groups had to shift repeatedly from one place to another to maintain their cultural sanctity.

  • Transformation of Socio-Economic Condition of Tribal Community in Frontier Bengal : Identity Crisis and Present Scenario
    © 2018 JETIR October 2018, Volume 5, Issue 10 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Transformation of Socio-Economic Condition of Tribal Community in frontier Bengal : Identity crisis and present scenario Dr. Nirmal Chandra Mudi Assistant Professor, Department of History, Bankura Sammilani College,Bankura,West Bengal,India Abstract Jungal Mahals, literally ,Jungale estate’, was a district formed by the British possessions and some dependent chiefdoms lying between Birbhum,Bankura,Midnapore and the hilly area of country of Chhotanagpur in what is now the Indian state of West Bengal.The area of Jungal Mahals is mostly populated by the Santhal tribes.But not only the Santhals but also some microscopic tribal community resides in this region such as Sabar and Birhor from the very beginning. They maintain exclusively purity of tribal identity through the ages.They are the oldest inhabitants of Jungal Mahals and have their own separate identity in the social perspectives. We are very much familiar of their primitive culture. But at the same time we must say they have lost their cultural identity and this cultural purity is gradually going and going on to the back side due to the bad impact of cultural globalisation. Similarly,tribals community created their own village economy at the early periods.It was their original village oriented economy organised by the Headman. But with the advent of British power in this geographical area,the tribal society had lost their originality of economic system and faced various challenges of their socio-economic life.Inspite of having separate religion of Santhals (Sari Dharam)has been converted to other religion by experience.Through this papers I will try to highlight some important changing profile of selected tribal communities in south west Bengal.
