FOREWORD The Indian Census has had the privilege of presenting authentic ethnographic accounts of Indian Communities. It was usual in all censuses to collect and publish information on race, tribes and castes. The Constitution lays down that "the State shall promote with sp;cial care the educational and economic interests of the weaker sec­ tions of the people and, in particular, of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, and shall protect them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation". To assist states in fulfilling their responsibilities in this regard the 1961 Census provided a series of special tabulations of the social and economic data on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are notified by the President under the constitution and the Parliament is empowered to include or exclude from the lists any caste or tribe. No other source can claim the same authenticity and comprehensiveness as the Census of India to help the Government i:a taking decisions on matters such as these. Therefore, besides the statistical data provided by the 1961 Census, the preparation of detailed ethnographic notes on a selection of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in each State and Union 'Territory was taken up as an ancillary study. Dr. B. K. Roy Burman, Deputy Registrar General, Handicrafts and Social Studies Division, assisted by Shri N. G. Nag, Officer on special duty is co-ordinating all these studies at the Central level. At the State level the Directors of Census Operations. and their staff are collaborating in conducting the field investigations and prepar­ ing the report. In the case of the Union Territory of Delhi this pub­ lication is the result of close collaboration at all levels between the staff of Director of Census Operations, Delhi and Office of the Reg­ istrar General, India. I avail of this opportunity to extend my warm thanks to all my colleagues who have undertaken various studies on different aspects of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes of India. A. CHANDRA SHEKHAR RegistTaT GeneTal, India (iiI1 PR.EFACE As an adjunct of 1961 Census, preparation of ethnographic monographs on a number of selected Scheduled Castes. Scheduled Tribes and ethnic groups with special status, and ethnographic glos­ saries on all Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes have been taken up by the Census Organisation. In the Union Territory of Delhi 36 names figure in the list of Scheduled Castes. But actually speaking some of the communities separately mentioned such as Bhangi, Chohra (Sweeper), Chuhra (Bal­ miki) are synonyms for one and the same community. Similarly. there are other cases where the notified communities are actually synonyms. There are also cases where the name represents a religious- sect rather than a separate ethnic group such as Kabirpanthi which is notified as Scheduled Ca~te in the territory. On actual investigation it was found to be a religious sect embraced not only by some of the Scheduled Castes such as Julaha, Koli etc. but also by some Caste Hindus. Khat­ riya groups like Arora Khatris. In the present series 16 of the Schedul­ ed Castes have been covered. These are:- 1. Agri 7. Dhobi 13. Sapera 2. Balai 8. Kanjar 14. Dom 3. -Banjara 9. Khatik 15. Kachhandha 4. Bazigar 10. Koli 16. Adi-Dharmi 5. Bhil 11. Meghwal 6. Dhanak 12. Pasi In addition, on some of the scheduled castes such as Sikligar 'lnd Mallah separate monographs have been brought out by Census Orga­ nisation. Due to some unavoidable circumstances such as transfer of con­ cerned officials wanting on this project and Census Operations of 1971, the publication of this report has been delayed. But the fact remains that it is equally logical today and I do hope that this report will be quite useful in understanding the present socio-economic life of the Scheduled Castes in Delhi. The present monograph is a result of joint collaboration between the staff of the Director of Census Operations, Delhi and Office of the Registrar General, India. The names of the members of staff associated -with the preparation of Ethnographic Notes on various Scheduled Castes are given under the "acknowledgments" in the page over-leaf. This project was initiated under the supervision of my predecessor, Shri Baldev Raj, the then Superintendent of Census Operations, Delhi. Shri B. N. Mathur, Head Assistant, also helped at organisational level. The draft notes were scrutinized by Shri N. G. Nag, Officer on Special Duty. Office of the Registrar General, India. S / Shri Lal Krishan, A.D.C.O., S. P. Sharma, Sr. _Investigator and S. C. Arora, Tabulation Officer were also associated in finalization of this mono­ graph. Shri C. Lal Rohatgi took great interest in going through the proois of this publication. (v) \ Dr. B. K. Roy Burman, neputy Registrar General who is in­ charge of Social Studies in the office of Registrar General, India. provided technical guidance and advice for conducting the study at various levels. I am thankful to all my colleagues who collaborated in bringing out this monograph. I am extremely grateful to Shri A. Chandra Sekhar for the keen interest that he envisaged in this project and gave us necessary en­ couragement. S. R.

    7 Crossing the Sutlej River: An examination of early British rule in the West Himalayas Arik Moran The challenges entailed in establishing political authority over the mountainous terrain of the Himalayas became particularly pronounced in the modern era, as large-scale centralized states (e.g. British India, Gorkha Nepal) extended their rule over remote parts of the mountain chain. In this novel political setting, the encounters of the representatives of greater powers with their counterparts from subordinate polities were often fraught with clashes, misunderstandings and manipulations that stemmed from the discrepancy between local notions of governance and those imposed from above. This was especially apparent along British India’s imperial frontier, where strategic considerations dictated a cautious approach towards subject states so as to minimize friction with neighbouring superpowers across the border. As a result, the headmen inhabiting frontier zones enjoyed a conspicuous advantage in dealing with their superiors insofar as ‘deliberate misrepresentations and manipulation[s]’ of local practices allowed them to further their aims while retaining the benefits of protection by a robust imperial structure (O’Hanlon 1988: 217). This paper offers a detailed illustration of the complications provoked by these conditions by examining the embroilment of a British East India Company official in a feud between the West Himalayan kingdoms of Bashahr and Kullu (in today’s Himachal Pradesh, India) during the first half of the nineteenth century. After ousting the Gorkha armies from the hills in 1815, Company authorities pursued a policy of minimal interference in the internal affairs of the mountain (pahāṛ ) kingdoms between the Yamuna and Sutlej Rivers, whose rulers were granted an autonomous status under the supervision of a political agent.

  • Sindhi Community – Shiv Sena
    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: IND30284 Country: India Date: 4 July 2006 Keywords: India – Maharashtra – Sindhi Community – Shiv Sena This response was prepared by the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. Is there any independent information about any current ill-treatment of Sindhi people in Maharashtra state? 2. Is there any information about the authorities’ position on any ill-treatment of Sindhi people? RESPONSE 1. Is there any independent information about any current ill-treatment of Sindhi people in Maharashtra state? Executive Summary Information available on Sindhi websites, in press reports and in academic studies suggests that, generally speaking, the Sindhi community in Maharashtra state are not ill-treated. Most writers who address the situation of Sindhis in Maharashtra generally concern themselves with the social and commercial success which the Sindhis have achieved in Mumbai (where the greater part of the Sindh’s Hindu populace relocated after the partition of India and Pakistan). One news article was located which reported that the Sindhi community had been targeted for extortion, along with other “mercantile communities”, by criminal networks affiliated with Maharashtra state’s Sihiv Sena organisation.

  • S*U*P*E*R Consciousness Through Meditation Douglas Baker B.A
    S*U*P*E*R CONSCIOUSNESS THROUGH MEDITATION DOUGLAS BAKER B.A. M.R.C.S. L.R.C.P. You ask, how can we know the Infinite? I answer, not by reason. It is the office of reason to distinguish and define. The Infinite, therefore, cannot be ranked among its objects. You can only apprehend the Infinite by a faculty superior to reason, by entering into a state in which you are your finite self no longer—in which the divine essence is communicated to you. This is ecstasy. It is the liberation of your mind from its finite consciousness. Like can only apprehend like; when you thus cease to be finite, you become one with the infinite. In the reduction of your soul to its simplest self, its divine essence, you realise this union, this identity. Plotinus: Letter to Flaccus CHAPTER 1 ANCIENT MYSTERIES Cosmic Consciousness The goal of all major esoteric traditions and of all world religions is entry into a higher kingdom of nature, into the realm of the gods. This kingdom is known as the Fifth Kingdom, and one’s awareness and experience of its world constitute what is referred to as the superconscious experience. It has been described by all those who have had this extraordinary glimpse of another world, in ecstatic terms, as a state of boundless being and bliss in which one’s individual consciousness merges with the universal consciousness, with the Godhead. It is a state of beingness and awareness that far surpasses one’s usual limited, narrow view of reality and transports one, for a brief moment, beyond the limits of time and space into another dimension.
