More than France, U.K., Italy and Poland • Population of Gr. Mumbai itself is about half of Punj ab • Only state having 3 cities with one million or more population. • Gr. Mumbai is the sixth largest metro in the world with having low,est area but highest population and also the highest literacy in the state. • Thane is the fastest growing city. • Highest proportion of urban population in India. • Highest number (33) of cities in India. • Highest density of urban population. • Largest number of migrants from other states. 2 POPliLATION GRO\VTH: Maharashtra with population of 78,937,187 and area of 307,713 sq. km. is the third largest State of India in terms of both population and area. Population growth of Maharashtra: The growth rate of Maharashtra had suddenly jumped by about 8% in the decade 1941-51. Till 1941, the growth rate was below 15% but from the next decade, the population growth rate shot up by about 8 %. And since then the growth rate never looked back and always remained above 22%. In that sense, the decade 1941-51, is a water mark for Maharashtra. The rise in growth rate had slowed down from 1981 but it still continues to grow at the rate of more than 25%. T-l gives the growth rate of population of Maharashtra, India, a few other adjoining states. The chart 1 shows the variation of growth rate of population. From the chart it clearly appears that the population of Gujarat was grO\ving at the fastest rate till 1981. But it has performed very well in the decade 1981-91 alongwith Kamataka to bring down the rate of growth to 21.19%. During 1941-51, all the adjoining states" had slowed down showing a dip in growth rate, but Maharashtra, alongwith Kamataka and Andhra Pradesh had shown a very steep rise in growth rate. From 1951 onwards, Maharashtra has been growing at a much faster rate than the whole country mainly because of gro\ving in-migration into large cities. From 196] onwards, the growth rate of Gujarat and M.P. has always remained higher than the national average. That of A.P. had always remained below India, but only in 1991 it went marginally above national average. Population growth of the Districts: After considering Maharashtra State as a whole, we need to look at the district­ wise population growth. T-2 gives the decadal variation of the districts and T-3 gives the 3 C:\My Documents-l \PoplnGroNotc.doc decadal growth rates of the districts. The most populous districts of the State are Gr. Mumbai, Pune, Thane, Nashik, Ahmadnagar in that order. There are three districts namely Gr. Mumbai, Pune and Thane with more than 5 million population. That for Gr. Mumbai is a1most about 10 milhon. Sindhudurg and Gadchiroli are the smallest districts with population less than 1 million. Considering the rate of population growth, we can see that Thane (56.6%), Aurangabad (39.6%) and Nanded (33.2%) district are the first three fastest growing districts of Maharashtra. Sindhudurg (6.56%), Ratnagiri (11.9%) and Bhandara (14.7%) are the slowest growing districts in that order. Chart 2 shows the district-wise grow1h rate of a few important district From 1931 ftpto 1951 Gr. Mumbai saw a step rise in the gro'Nth rate, \vhe~eas Thane followed Gr. Mumbai from 1941. During, 1951-61, Gr. Mumbai, Thane and Pune had slowed "- dovm but Aurangabad grew at very rapid rate. The growth rate of Thane is almost a 45 degree straight line from 1961 onwards, whereas that for Gr. Mumbai is falling from 1971 onwards. This indicates that Thane being very close to Mumbai, is growing at the expense of Murnbai. During 1981-91, Thane and Aurangabad showed steep rise in population growth whereas Gr. Mumbai showed steep fall. Other populous districts of Nashik" Pune are growing steadily without any striking features. The districts which have been always growing faster than the state average are Thane, Aurangabad, Nanded, Pune, Nashik and Nagpur. These districts with big city always have attracted people for works and effectively grew at a faster rate that the State as a whole. The districts which were growing slower than the State during 1971-81 but grew at a faster rate than the State average during 1981-91 are Jalna, Latur, Bid and Parbhani. All these are districts in the vicinity of Aurangabad. The remaining all districts remained lower than the state average as far as growth rate is concerned. 4 C·\?v1y D"".lrr:ents-I'PL1rlnGro~o[e,doc - I'- co CD t- t:'< .)

  • Cultural Negotiations in Health and Illness

    Cultural Negotiations in Health and Illness

    Diversity in Health and Care 2009;6:xxx–xxx # 2009 Radcliffe Publishing Research paper Cultural negotiations in health and illness: the experience of type 2 diabetes among Gujarati-speaking South Asians in England Harshad Keval Lecturer, School of Human and Life Sciences, Roehampton University, London, UK What is known on this subject . We know that South Asian communities in the UK have a higher risk of type 2 diabetes than white British people. Current health policy and research indicate that there are deficits in education and knowledge about the best ways to manage diet, exercise and medication within South Asian communities. There is much potential for exploring in depth understandings of the lived experience of diabetes within South Asian communities, to complement the existing knowledge base. What this paper adds . This study indicates that, as health science discourse often uses a combination of genetic, cultural and lifestyle factors to explain high rates of diabetes, there is a parallel and related construction of a South Asian diabetes risk. Using qualitative in-depth methods to explore the study participants’ experiences, it is possible to identify how health and illness are situated within complex social, cultural and biographical frameworks. It is possible to look beyond constructions of diabetes risk towards the way participants with diabetes utilise their life experience, their history and their social and cultural community to manage their condition. In doing so they demonstrate a form of resistance to the constructions of diabetes risk that can be imposed by health science discourse. This paper shows how their ethnic and cultural identities are often invoked in dynamic and flexible ways to help them to deal with their condition.

    Narsinh Mehta - Poems

    Classic Poetry Series Narsinh Mehta - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Narsinh Mehta(1414? – 1481?) Narsinh Mehta (Gujarati:?????? ?????)also known as Narsi Mehta or Narsi Bhagat was a poet-saint of Gujarat, India, and a member of the Nagar Brahmins community, notable as a bhakta, an exponent of Vaishnava poetry. He is especially revered in Gujarati literature, where he is acclaimed as its Adi Kavi (Sanskrit for "first among poets"). His bhajan, Vaishnav Jan To is Mahatma Gandhi's favorite and has become synonymous to him. <b> Biography </b> Narsinh Mehta was born in the ancient town of Talaja and then shifted to Jirndurg now known as Junagadh in the District of Saurashtra, in Vaishnava Brahmin community. He lost his mother and his father when he was 5 years old. He could not speak until the age of 8 and after his parents expired his care was taken by his grand mother Jaygauri. Narsinh married Manekbai probably in the year 1429. Narsinh Mehta and his wife stayed at his brother Bansidhar’s place in Junagadh. However, his cousin's wife (Sister-in-law or bhabhi) did not welcome Narsinh very well. She was an ill- tempered woman, always taunting and insulting Narsinh mehta for his worship (Bhakti). One day, when Narasinh mehta had enough of these taunts and insults, he left the house and went to a nearby forest in search of some peace, where he fasted and meditated for seven days by a secluded Shiva lingam until Shiva appeared before him in person.

    'A Study of Tourism in Gujarat: a Geographical Perspective'

    ‘A Study of Tourism in Gujarat: A Geographical Perspective” CHAPTER-2 GEOGRAPHICAL PROFILE OF THE STUDY AREA ‘A Study of Tourism in Gujarat: A Geographical Perspective’ 2.1 GUJARAT : AN INTRODUCTION Gujarat has a long historical and cultural tradition dating back to the days of the Harappan civilization established by relics found at Lothal(Figure-1).It is also called as the “Jewel of the West”, is the westernmost state of India(Figure-2). The name “Gujarat” itself suggests that it is the land of Gurjars, which derives its name from ‘Gujaratta’ or ‘Gujaratra’ that is the land protected by or ruled by Gurjars. Gurjars were a migrant tribe who came to India in the wake of the invading Huna’s in the 5th century. The History of Gujarat dates back to 2000 BC. Some derive it from ‘Gurjar-Rashtra’ that is the country inhabited by Gurjars. Al-Beruni has referred to this region as ‘Gujratt’. According to N.B. Divetia the original name of the state was Gujarat & the above- mentioned name are the Prakrit& Sanskrit forms respectively. The name GUJARAT, which is formed by adding suffix ‘AT’ to the word ‘Gurjar’ as in the case of Vakilat etc. There are many opinions regarding the arrivals of Gurjars, two of them are, according to an old clan, they inhabited the area during the Mahabharat period and another opined that they belonged to Central Asia and came to India during the first century. The Gurjars passed through the Punjab and settled in some parts of Western India, which came to be known as Gujarat.Gujarat was also inhabited by the citizens of the Indus Valley and Harappan civilizations.

  • Kenya 'Samaj': Indian Merchants, Community Life, and Urban Society

    Kenya 'Samaj': Indian Merchants, Community Life, and Urban Society

    KENYA ‘SAMAJ’: INDIAN MERCHANTS, COMMUNITY LIFE, AND URBAN SOCIETY IN COLONIAL EAST AFRICA, C. 1890-1980 By Misha A. Mintz-Roth A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May 2019 ABSTRACT Much scholarship about Indian populations in East Africa examines their histories through categories of race and class. Immigrant groups, according to these narratives, are often seen as agents of the British Empire or as a minority racial diaspora that experienced marginalization during the colonial and post-independence periods. This dissertation takes a different approach. Examining Indians as interconnected yet separate vocational populations, it argues that Indian immigrants played a central role in making Kenya’s colonial economy, urban society, and post- independence political order. Indian merchants—the focus of this dissertation—assumed positions of economic, social, and political prominence in Kenya, building up household wealth by situating themselves between African agrarian societies, the territory’s urban markets, and the colonial state. Despite the rise of anti-Indian sentiment during the colonial period and after independence, Indian merchants cultivated linkages to new political leaders and activated longer-standing communal connections to re-assimilate into Kenya’s post-independence environment. Community networks, I argue, not race or nation, became the primary mode of belonging among Indian merchants in twentieth century Kenya, as they migrated, settled, and accumulated wealth, among other goals. This dissertation examines a diversity of historical sources, including traders’ diaries, merchants’ memoirs, court records, commercial contracts, newspapers, and records from the Kenya and India National Archives.

    FACTORS AFFECTING PROFICIENCY AMONG GUJARATI HERITAGE LANGUAGE LEARNERS ON THREE CONTINENTS A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics By Sheena Shah, M.S. Washington, DC May 14, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Sheena Shah All Rights Reserved ii FACTORS AFFECTING PROFICIENCY AMONG GUJARATI HERITAGE LANGUAGE LEARNERS ON THREE CONTINENTS Sheena Shah, M.S. Thesis Advisors: Alison Mackey, Ph.D. Natalie Schilling, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the causes behind the differences in proficiency in the North Indian language Gujarati among heritage learners of Gujarati in three diaspora locations. In particular, I focus on whether there is a relationship between heritage language ability and ethnic and cultural identity. Previous studies have reported divergent findings. Some have found a positive relationship (e.g., Cho, 2000; Kang & Kim, 2011; Phinney, Romero, Nava, & Huang, 2001; Soto, 2002), whereas others found no correlation (e.g., C. L. Brown, 2009; Jo, 2001; Smolicz, 1992), or identified only a partial relationship (e.g., Mah, 2005). Only a few studies have addressed this question by studying one community in different transnational locations (see, for example, Canagarajah, 2008, 2012a, 2012b). The current study addresses this matter by examining data from members of the same ethnic group in similar educational settings in three multi-ethnic and multilingual cities. The results of this study are based on a survey consisting of questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and proficiency tests with 135 participants. Participants are Gujarati heritage language learners from the U.K., Singapore, and South Africa, who are either current students or recent graduates of a Gujarati School.
