In the course of becoming, civilised man acquires and develops certain customs and habits. These customs anA habits become, with the passage of time, an integral part of his life process regulating his behaviour and attitude* Because of its profound influence on human life, habit has been called "Second Nature? There is a social b^aviour, an economic b^aviour • political b«^avio\ir and a religio-ethical attitude vAiidi men manifest in the respective iields during the course of various operations and activities* This b^aviour constitutes the basis of socio—economic* political and religio—ethical relationship existing between man and man and between one group of mmi and the other* Be it as it may, this b^aviour or attitude in its various aspects is governed by a set of identifiable customs and habits* The greater the antiquity of customs and habits the greater is their grip on the mind of man* However, a note of caution, in this regard, was sounded by Alfred Lord Twmyson in the I9th century in the following llness *01d order diange the yielding place to ne«<, and God fulfils Himself in many ways, lest one good custonnfli should corrx;^t the whole world? The suggestion conveyed in these lines is that there is always need to examine whether or not wa old custom or habit has become too corrx^t and^ therefore, too obsolete to be useful any longer. Customs and habits continue to survive and influance the all round human life inqpite of progress. Obviously, it would not be an exaggeration of the fact to say that the customs and habits are an index \ihldti largely help us to understand the lives of the people, reflecting various behaviours end attitudes. Each people of the world have their own customs and habits. And some of these customs and habits are so peculiar to those people that these tend to become features of their distinction. However, it must be admitted that these customs and habits evolve and grow over a long period of tine. A ntjmber of books have since been written on the History and Culture of Kashmir. But almost all of them have touchy the custwns and habits of the Kashmiris on the perii^ery. As a matter of fact, no serious attempt has been made, so far, to carry oxit an indepth study of the customs and habits of the Kashmiris. Obviously, it will be ray endeavour to deal, at some length, and in a certain depth, with customs and habits of the people of Kashmir.

    The Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit The A to Z Guide to Afghanistan Assistance 2nd Edition, August 2003 Writer: Shawna Wakefield Editor: Christina Bennett, Kathleen Campbell With special thanks to: Kristen Krayer, Nellika Little, Mir Ahmad Joyenda Cover illustration: Parniyan Design and Printing: The Army Press © 2003 The Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU). All rights reserved. Preface This is the second edition of The A to Z Guide to Afghanistan Assistance. Our first edition was brought out one year ago at a time of great change in Afghanistan. At that time, coordination mechanisms and aid processes were changing so fast that old hands and new arrivals alike were sometimes overwhelmed by the multiplicity of acronyms and references to structures and entities that had been recently created, abolished or re-named. Eighteen months after the fall of the Taliban and the signing of the Bonn Agreement, there are still rapid new developments, a growing complexity to the reconstruction effort and to planning processes and, of course, new acronyms! Our aim therefore remains to provide a guide to the terms, structures, mechanisms and coordinating bodies critical to the Afghanistan relief and reconstruction effort to help ensure a shared vocabulary and common understanding of the forces at play. We’ve also included maps and a contact directory to make navigating the assistance community easier. This 2nd edition also includes a section called “Resources,” containing information on such things as media organisations, security information, and Afghanistan-related web sites. Another new addition is a guide to the Afghan government. As the objective of so many assistance agencies is to support and strengthen government institutions, we felt that understanding how the Afghan government is structured is important to working in the current environment.

GUPTA1 AND Cecily S. RAY2 1Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and 2Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai, India Smokeless tobacco and health in India and South Asia GUPTA PC, RAY CS. Respirology 2003; 8: 419–431 Abstract: South Asia is a major producer and net exporter of tobacco. Over one-third of tobacco consumed regionally is smokeless. Traditional forms like betel quid, tobacco with lime and tobacco tooth powder are commonly used and the use of new products is increasing, not only among men but also among children, teenagers, women of reproductive age, medical and dental students and in the South Asian diaspora. Smokeless tobacco users studied prospectively in India had age- adjusted relative risks for premature mortality of 1.2–1.96 (men) and 1.3 (women). Current male chewers of betel quid with tobacco in case-control studies in India had relative risks of oral cancer varying between 1.8–5.8 and relative risks for oesophageal cancer of 2.1–3.2. Oral submucous fibro- sis is increasing due to the use of processed areca nut products, many containing tobacco. Preg- nant women in India who used smokeless tobacco have a threefold increased risk of stillbirth and a two- to threefold increased risk of having a low birthweight infant. In recent years, several states in India have banned the sale, manufacture and storage of gutka, a smokeless tobacco product containing areca nut.

Jain International Society ofTea Science, A-298 Sarita Vihar, New Delhi, India 110076 Ph: +91-11-2694-9142, Fax: PP +91-11-2694-2222, email: [email protected] Summary The British started tea plantations in India in 1839 with seeds brought from China. The quality of the indigenous tea Camellia sinesis var assamica, was recognized in 1839. India is the largest tea producer, averaging 842 million kg or 26% of global production, grown in 129,027 holdings, 92% ofwhich are> 10 ha. North India contributes 3/4th of total production with Y4 th from South India., India consumes 77% of its produce, leaving only 200 mkg for its shrinking exports. A decade long cost-price squeeze led to economic crisis, rendering many units unsustainable. Strategies ofits scientific management are suggested. Keywords: Indian Tea, Production, Export, Consumption, Cost price squeeze; Crisis management. INTRODUCTION The British started tea plantations in 1839 with seeds brought from China after the Opium Wars threatened their 'home' supplies. The indigenous tea Camellia sinesis var assamica was grown since times immemorial, by the tribes in North East India. It was (re) discovered in 1823 but rejected as a wild plant, until 1839 when the quality of tea made from these "wild" assamica bushes was established at London Auctions. Tea plantation activity spread very quickly. In 2005 India recorded a production of 929 million kilo tea, grown on an area of 523,000 hectares, spread over 1,29,027 units, of which over 92% were less than 10 ha and only 8% (1661) were large estates in private or corporate sectors.

Borse* and L. Jagan Mohan Rao Plantation Products, Spices and Flavour Technology Department, Central Food Technological Research Institute, (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research), Mysore - 570 020, India Abstract Novel bio-chemical profiling of Indian black teas covering all the regions and seasons (s1:April-June, s2:July- Sept., s3:Oct.-Dec., s4:Jan.- Mar.) from select gardens cutting across all climatic conditions so as to represent the variables was carried out. The profiling was carried out with reference to physico-bio-chemical quality indices based on parameters as well as volatiles and non-volatiles which are important from quality viewpoint. Different fingerprint markers in terms of volatiles and non-volatiles for tea quality were identified. Seasonal variation of TF/TR ratio over tea producing region/grade and with respect to quality was deliniated. Also the seasonal variation of sum of Yamanishi-Botheju and Mahanta ratio over tea producing region/grade and concomitant tea quality profile has been deliniated. The sum of TF/TR ratios of tea and the sum of the VFC ratios (Yamanishi-Botheju ratio and Mahanta ratio) added together is proposed for the first time as a new and novel quality index, hence forth referred to as Borse- Rao quality index, considered to be an overall quality indicator of tea as both the non-volatiles and volatiles are given due consideration.
