Responses of Malvi speakers to sociolinguistic questionnaires indicated strong vitality of the language. Bilingualism testing in Hindi, confirmed by observations, showed that women, older people, and the uneducated could especially benefit from mother tongue materials and literacy work. Wordlist comparisons indicated potential intelligibility among several different dialects of Malvi. Dialect intelligibility testing showed adequate comprehension of the selected Ujjaini variety among speakers of other dialects. Preface This sociolinguistic survey of the Malvi-speaking people of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan was sponsored and carried out by the Indian Institute for Cross Cultural Communication (IICCC), which has an interest in developing mother tongue literature and promoting literacy among the language groups of India. The survey team hopes that this survey report will ultimately benefit the Malvi-speaking people. The project planning and fieldwork was carried out during February to June 2000. Many kilometres were travelled and many people were involved in these research efforts, which resulted in the elicitation of 30 wordlists, the playing of over 150 Hometown Tests and Recorded Text Tests, the administration of 108 Hindi Sentence Repetition Tests, and the collection of 125 Language Use, Attitudes, and Vitality questionnaires. We remember all the Malvi-speaking people in the villages who helped us and participated in the testing. There are many others in this survey who assisted in various ways and we are thankful to each one of them. Every effort has been made to collect accurate information and present it clearly. The authors take the responsibility for any errors. Corrections to this end would be welcome. 5 LEGEND Malvi Area GUJARAT Neighbouring States UTTAR RAJASTHAN PRADESH MADHYA PRADESH GUJARAT CHHATTIS- GARH INDIA MAHARASHTRA MAP 1.

QNRS & SRT SITES 10 1 Introduction 1.1 Geography The area of the Malvi-speaking people encompasses a large tract of land in central India (Map 1), specifically the western part of Madhya Pradesh (MP) and the lower south- eastern side of Rajasthan. The Malwa region comprises territory from 21 to 25 degrees north latitude and from 73 to 80 degrees east longitude, or from Chittore in Mewar in the north to the Tapti River in the south, and from Bundelkhand in the east to Gujarat in the west (Malcolm 1970:B-1). It consists largely of plateau, but it also has low ranges of hills and rivers running roughly west to southeast. Malwa is a traditional cultural area consisting today of the districts of Ujjain, Rathlam, Indore, Dewas, Shajapur, Mandsaur, Nimuch, Rajgarh, Sehore, Dhar, and Bhopal of MP and Jhalawar district of Rajasthan. The traditional boundaries of Malwa are attested to in a well-known poetic verse as ‘between Chambel, Betwa and Narmada in the south.’ In fact, the Narmada River in the south, the Betwa in the east and the Chambel in the northwest roughly marked its boundaries. The provinces of Kanthat and Bagat separated Malwa from Gujarat and Rajaputana, while the tract known as Hadothi formed the most extreme limit on the northwest. Bundelkhand and Gondwana surrounded Malwa on the eastern and south- eastern side. The region within the province was mainly plateau, with alluvial tracts scattered all over the land. The jungle was dense in many places (Singh 1936:3). Compared with other areas of MP, Malwa is the most agriculturally developed area. Malwa is rich in agriculture and the most fertile land in India after the Ganges region, producing large quantities of crops such as wheat, rice, millet, maize, groundnuts, chana, kappas, soybeans, cotton, oil seed, opium, sugarcane, musk, melon, and betel-leaf. Before the independence of India, Malwa had its own name in the cotton industry and today has the third position in India in cotton clothes and thread manufacturing, after Mumbai and Ahmadabad. Other main industries are production of sugar, rayon, cement, and synthetics. Beautiful forests rich in natural products, particularly teak, cover large tracts of Malwa, and these form a valuable article of commerce. Some of the cities and towns of Malwa have been much celebrated both in ancient and modern history. For many of these it is now difficult to trace the sites or discover the names, though there are remains of architecture, sculpture, and inscriptions to be found amid their ruins (Malcolm 1970:B9–11). On the sociolinguistic level, there may be differences between the linguistic and geographic boundaries, since the people who live in Malwa proper consider their language Malvi, while many who live inside of what historians consider the linguistic boundaries of Malwa do not consider themselves to be speakers of Malvi. For the purpose of this survey, many districts and tahsils1 were traversed (Figure 1; refer also to Map 2). 1 A tahsil is an administrative subdivision of a district. 11 State Districts Tahsils Ujjain Ujjain Mehidpur Nagda Rathlam Rathlam Jaora Mhow Indore Indore M Kannod A Dewas Sonkach D Dewas H Susner Y Shajapur Agar A Shajapur Mandsaur Mandsaur P Nimuch R Nimuch Manasa A D Rajgarh Rajgarh Zirapur E Narsinghgarh S H Sehore Sehore Ashta Ichhawar Manawar Sardarpur Dhar Dhar Badnawar Bhopal Berasia Jhalrapattan RAJASTHAN Jhalawar Gangdhar Pirawa Figure 1. Districts and tahsils covered during this survey. 12 1.2 People According to the older generations, the people of Malwa are traditionally peace- loving. Since their land is fertile and produces a vast amount of crops, they have had enough to satisfy their needs. The people say, ‘We ate, drank and lived a peaceful life.’ They were not warriors like the bordering Rajasthanis and Mahrattas. Because of this, invasions happened often; Mughal kings, Mahrattas, and finally Britishers invaded this area. 1.2.1 Castes and tribes People living in the Malwa region are from different caste groups and tribes and thus do not have a general people group name, though the one language binds them together. Among Malvi speakers, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Backward Classes, and General Castes2 are common. Balai, Bagri, and Chamar are the groups reportedly speaking pure Malvi. Mainly the Balai and Rajputs are spread all over Malwa. Within Balai, there is a clan called Malvi.

  • State Fact Sheet Madhya Pradesh
    Ministry of Health and Family Welfare National Family Health Survey - 4 2015 -16 State Fact Sheet Madhya Pradesh International Institute for Population Sciences (Deemed University) Mumbai 1 Introduction The National Family Health Survey 2015-16 (NFHS-4), the fourth in the NFHS series, provides information on population, health and nutrition for India and each State / Union territory. NFHS-4, for the first time, provides district-level estimates for many important indicators. The contents of previous rounds of NFHS are generally retained and additional components are added from one round to another. In this round, information on malaria prevention, migration in the context of HIV, abortion, violence during pregnancy etc. have been added. The scope of clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical testing (CAB) or Biomarker component has been expanded to include measurement of blood pressure and blood glucose levels. NFHS-4 sample has been designed to provide district and higher level estimates of various indicators covered in the survey. However, estimates of indicators of sexual behaviour, husband’s background and woman’s work, HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes and behaviour, and, domestic violence will be available at State and national level only. As in the earlier rounds, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India designated International Institute for Population Sciences, Mumbai as the nodal agency to conduct NFHS-4. The main objective of each successive round of the NFHS has been to provide essential data on health and family welfare and emerging issues in this area. NFHS-4 data will be useful in setting benchmarks and examining the progress in health sector the country has made over time.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

    ISSN: 2277-9655 [Shivhare* et al.,6(5): May, 2017] Impact Factor: 4.116 IC™ Value: 3.00 CODEN: IJESS7 IJESRT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES & RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY EFFECT OF NALLAHS ON GROUNDWATER IN INDORE CITY Niharika Shivhare*, Shifa Khan, Naman Patel, Akshay Joshi, Babita Dutt * Christian Eminent College, Indore S. N. College, Khandwa Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel College, Mandleshwar DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.573531 ABSTRACT It is generally assumed that ground water is safe (free from pathogens) and does not contain harmful constituents. But this belief is not true under all circumstances. The unscientific disposal of human and animal wastes is found to be the main anthropogenic activity that has lead to the contamination of ground water with micro-organisms, nitrates, etc. To check the level of contamination in Indore city by the seepage of the existing nallahs, a monitoring of ground water quality was carried out for one month January 2017 to February 2017 from eighteen groundwater sources in Indore city. Analysis was carried out for assessment of 21 parameters including mineral, demand, nutrient, bacteriological and metal analysis. The analysis data reveals that the quality of groundwater in Indore city has deteriorated to a large extent making it unfit for drinking and irrigation purpose. The chemical composition of groundwater from basaltic aquifer has severely altered due to the percolation of industrial effluents in the past decades and sewage from existing nallahs into the groundwater. KEYWORDS:Physico - chemical parameters, ground water quality, nallahs, total coliforms etc. INTRODUCTION Water pollution is a major problem in the global context [1, 2].

  • Soyabean - Malwa Region of Madhya Pradesh
    Soyabean - Malwa Region of Madhya Pradesh What is the issue? \n\n \n Malwa region is said to be India’s US Midwest, only because of soyabean. \n The significance of this crop in Malwa region and Madhya Pradesh, calls for addressing the current challenges to its production. \n \n\n How did Soyabean take root in India? \n\n \n Soyabean in India has an American connection. The leguminous oilseed was hardly grown here till the mid-sixties. \n The first yellow-seeded soyabean varieties were introduced by University of Illinois scientists. \n They conducted field trials at the Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya (JNKVV) in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. \n Many of these varieties - Bragg, Improved Pelican, Clark 63, Lee and Hardee - were released for direct cultivation. \n By 1975-76, the all-India area under soyabean had touched around 90,000 hectares. \n But a revolution in soyabean production took place only after that and in Malwa. \n Here, soyabean’s relevance, even vis-à-vis shaping electoral outcomes, is comparable to that of sugarcane in western UP. \n \n\n How has Malwa plateau traditionally been? \n\n \n Malwa plateau region of western MP covers the districts of Dewas, Indore, Dhar, Ujjain, Jhabua, Ratlam, Mandasur, Neemuch, Shajapur and Rajgarh. \n Traditionally, the region grew only a single un-irrigated crop of wheat or chana (chickpea) during the rabi winter season. \n Farmers mostly kept their lands fallow during the kharif monsoon season. \n The reason was the monsoon’s unpredictability, as even if the rains arrived on time, it could be followed by long dry spells.

  • 1 the Political Economy of Opium Smuggling in Early Nineteenth Century India: Leakage Or Resistance? Claude Markovits Introduct
    THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF OPIUM SMUGGLING IN EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY INDIA: LEAKAGE OR RESISTANCE? CLAUDE MARKOVITS INTRODUCTION 1. The link between narcotics, imperialism and capitalism has long attracted the attention of scholars. a. Recently, Carl Trocki has reiterated the classical Marxist position, dating back to Karl Marx himself, on the incestuous relationship between drugs and empire, while recognizing that the opium trade also nurtured certain forms of indigenous capitalism in Asia. While he has focused on the global Asian opium scene, including India, China and Southeast Asia, other scholars have given more attention to the Indian context of the trade. b. Amar Farooqi, in a book which is probably the most detailed history of the opium trade as seen from India, has stressed the contribution of the 'illegal' trade in Malwa opium to capital accumulation in Western India between 1800 and 1830. c. John Richards, more than 20 years after his pathbreaking essay on peasant production of opium has returned to the topic with a wide-ranging survey of the contribution of the drug to the finances of British India. d. In this essay, Claude Markovitzproposes to revisit the history of the Malwa opium trade with a view todiscuss both i. its general impact on capital accumulation in early 19thcentury western India and its link with imperial expansion. ii. He focuses more specifically on the case of Sindh, a largely neglected region of the subcontinent, whose transformation into the main smuggling route for the drug after 1819, and according to Markoviz, was one of the factors that led to its integration into the British Indian Empire.
