  • Hometowns of the Marwaris, Diasporic Traders in India
    Hometowns of the Marwaris, Diasporic Traders in India Sumie Nakatani Introduction The Marwaris are renowned all over India for having emerged in the nineteenth century as the most prominent group of traders. Under colonial rule they played the role of intermediary traders for the British and facilitated Britain’s commercial expansions. In the early twentieth century they invested in modern industries and some of them became industrial giants. It is estimated that more than half the assets in the modern industrial sector of the Indian economy are controlled by a group of trading castes originating in the northern half of Rajasthan, popularly called the Marwaris [Timberg 1978:15]. As of 1986, the Birlas, the Singhanias, the Modis, and the Bangurs (all Marwari business houses) accounted for one third of the total assets of the top ten business houses in India [Dubashi 1996 cited in Hardgrove 2004:3]. Several studies on the Marwaris have been made. A well-known study by Thomas Timberg focused on the strength of the Marwaris in Indian industry and explored the reason for their disproportionate success. Studying the history of Marwari migrations and the types of economic activities in which they engaged, he discussed what advantages the Marwaris had over other commercial communities in modern industrialization. He suggested that the joint family system, a credit network across the country, and willingness to speculate were important characteristics. The possession of these advantages emerges from their traditional caste vocation in trade. The Marwaris are habituated to credit and risk, and develop institutions and attitudes for coping with them [Timberg 1978:40].

  • Shekhawati-A Hornless Dairy Bdreed of Goat from Indian Desert
    SHEKHAWATI-A HORNLESS DAIRY BDREED OF GOAT FROM INDIAN DESERT J.P. Mittal Central Arid Zone Research Institute, Jodhpur -342 003, India. SUMMARY Recently Identified, Sekhawati breed of goat, is localized in a specified pocket of the Shekhawati region of north west India, It is called as Modi -Bakkri, which means goat without horns, in area of its inhabitation. This breed is solid coloured with predominent black colour. • The body is covered with small hair of fine texture. Both male and females are polled. Female goats have typical wedge shape of a dairy animal alongwith long neck. The average values for body weight, height at withers pin-shoulder length and heart girth, of adult males were 35.78+1.04 kg, 73.05+2.32, 76.82+1.92 and 74.37+2.03 cm and adult females were 23.78 + 1.24 kg, 68.92 + 2.24, 70.78+1.98 and 71.16+2.15 cm respectively. The milk yield was 138.15+8.25 in lactation period of 150.00+3.12 days. This goat may hopefully prove to be a good dairy breed if developed on scientific lines, through improved management, nutritrional betterment and selective breeding. INTRODUCTION Under prevailing cicumstances of Indian desert the goat is most economical animal among all species of livestock. Dual type Harwari was the only recognised breed of goat in this region so far. Scientists of this Institute have discovered and identified a new dairy breed of goat from this region during last 5 years (M it t a l 1986, and 1987 a ).

  • Hindu Castes and Sects an Exposition of the Origin of the Hindu Caste
    HINDU CASTES AND SECTS. PREF A.CE. IN the last edition of my" Commentaries on Hindu Law" I devoted a chapter to the Hindn Caste System which attracted the attention of the Publishers, and they suggested that the subject might well be expanded so as to be brought out as a separate volume. They suggested also that, in order to make the book complete, I should give an account not only of the Castes, but also of the important Hindu Sects, some of which are practically so many ""new Castes. As I had heen already engaged in writing a book about the hisfury and philosophy of religions, the prp­ posal, so far as the sects were concerned, was welcome indeed. About the Castes I felt very considerable diffidence; but it seemed to me that, in a town like Calcutta, where there are men from every part of India, it might not be quite impossible to collect the necessary information. When, however, I actually commenced my enquiries, then I fully realised the difficulty of my task. The original information contained in this work has been derived from a very large number of Hindn gentlemen hailing from different parts of India. I here iv PRBFACK. gratefully acknowledge the kindness that they have shown in according to me their assistance. I feel very ;trongly inclined to insert in this book a list of their names. But the publication of snch a list is not de­ sirable for more reasons than one. To begin with, such a list would be necessarily too long to be conveniently included.

    07 April, 2021 Solar Power Park in India- UPSC FACTS GS-Paper-3 Renewable Energy – Infrastructure development- Prelims & UPSC Interview Context: Renewable energy mainly solar energy is the most important topic of discussion in 21st Century, when the World has faced the problem of Climate change and energy security. This topic is highly important for UPSC mains examination under Paper-3 Infrastructure and Energy security. India lying in tropical belt has an advantage of receiving peak solar radiation for 300 days, amounting 2300-3,000 hours of sunshine equivalent to above 5,000 trillion kWh. India’s current installed solar power capacity, according to Central electricity authority, is 26025.97 MW which is 34% of total renewable energy sources i.e, 75055.92 MW till February 2019. With its pollution free nature, virtually inexhaustible supply and global distribution, solar energy is very attractive energy resource. India's Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC’s) commitment include 100 GW of solar power out of 175 GW renewable energy by 2022. There are more than 40 Major Solar power plants in India, which generates atleast 10 MW of power.

  • Recently Discovered Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic Sites of Jodhpur District, Rajasthan, Western India: a Report Based on Preliminary Observations
    TRIVALENT/ත්‍රිසංජ: Journal of Archaeology, Tourism & Anthropology, Department of Archaeology, University of Kelaniya Volume I Issue II 2020 Recently discovered Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic Sites of Jodhpur district, Rajasthan, Western India: A Report based on preliminary observations Astha Dibyopama Department of Archaeology, Deccan College Post Graduate and Research Institute, [email protected] Abstract Intensive and extensive exploration of archaeological explorations were carried out in the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan Western India, by Dibyopama (2010). As the result of these surveys, two Upper Paleolithic and four Mesolithic sites were discovered. This is a significant contribution to the overall Archaeology of the Jodhpur district. This paper presents a preliminary report on the Microliths found in the Jodhpur district of the Rajasthan. Sites are located near the dry channel in the dunes of the Thar Desert. Microlithic tools along with lithic debitage were recovered from few localities in late Pleistocene contexts and some along with historical pottery.

The Discovery of some Lower Paleolithic, Middle Paleolithic, Upper Paleolithic (Gurha and Nagri site) and Mesolithic sites has also been reported in the district (see Allchin et al 1978). Later on, while conducting the Paleoenvironmental projects few Paleolithic Mesolithic and historical sites were also been reported (Deotare et al1998, 2004). A systematic archaeological investigation was carried out in the region by Dibyopama (2010) to reconstruct the cultural chronology as well as to throw light on the Archaeology of the Jodhpur district.
