Exactly the same thing happened in bringing out this issue too. Not that I was enjoying chai-pakodi. Like fruits and vegetables, the material was scarce and I had few personal priorities. However I am happy that I am able to serve you the July’2014 issue now, fresh and delicious. New office bearers of the executive committee were elected. The names and contact of the mem- bers are given in this issue. Dr Sudhir Kumar Jain, Director IIT Gandhinagar, has taken over the reins of IITRAAA from the outgoing president. It was a great pleasure this time, to have Dr Prem Krishna, the president of National Chapter of IITRAA-Roorkeee, in our annual general body meet- ing held on June 22. He was very happy with the vibrancy of our chapter. He was very keen to have continued interaction with us. A gist of talk given by Dr Ashok Ghai, one of our alumnus, blessed with divine power, has also been covered in the issue. You can enjoy a pleasure trip to the Rann of Kuch in Gujarat through an illustrated article by one of our member. In the Finance and Law section we have covered this time the provision in law to protect the woman in addition to the latest on money matter and income tax. Next quarter is full of festivities.

  • Unbekanntes Gujarat Filigranartige Jain-Kunst Und Farbige Volksstämme
    Unbekanntes Gujarat Filigranartige Jain-Kunst und farbige Volksstämme Reisetermin: Individuell wählbar* Individualreise ab 2 Personen: ab Zürich ab CHF 4960.– INDO ORIENT TOURS & TREKS Der Staat Gujarat liegt im Westen Indiens, etwas im Schatten Rajasthans und wird deshalb selten von Touristen besucht. Dies zu Unrecht, da es ein Schatzhaus an Sehenswürdigkei- ten ist. Seine faszinierenden Palastbauten, imposanten Forts und riesigen Jain-Tempel aus weissem Marmor faszinieren jeden Besucher. Gujarat, das trotz wüsten- und steppenhafter Landschaft wegen seiner Menschen von Vielen als die far- benprächtigste Ecke Indiens eingestuft wird. Wilde Esel und Löwen haben hier ihr letztes Refugium. Eine bunte Vogelwelt nistet in den Salzsümpfen des Rann of Kutch. Bei einer Individualreise haben Sie die Möglichkeit, Ihre Reise mit einem der Festter- mine zu verbinden, denn bei Festen werden alte Lebensweisen, Schmuck, Trachten und die alte Gläubigkeit besonders sichtbar. Die Menschen kleiden sich dann in den schönsten traditionellen Kostümen, zeigen ihren eindrücklichen Handwerksmarkt mit exquisitem Silberschmuck und atemberaubenden Tanz- und Musikvorführungen. Un- terwegs besuchen Sie verschiedene farbenprächtige Stammesgruppen. Lassen Sie sich überraschen von der Landschaft des Geburtsstaates von Mahatma Gandhi: Wüs- ten, bewässerte Felder, Hügelketten und endlose menschenleere Strände. Geschichte: Gujarat erlebte eine wechselvolle Geschichte, deren Wurzeln auf die vor 4000 Jahren existierende Harappakultur des Industals zurückgehen. Bis 1961 herrsch- ten die Portugiesen in den Gebieten von Daman und Diu, die heute von Goa aus ver- waltet werden. In Gujarat leben 43 Millionen Menschen, die Gujarati, Marathi und Hindi sprechen. Die Hauptstadt des Staates ist Gandhinagar, 25 km von Ahmedabad ent- fernt. Sie ist wie Chandigarh vom französischen Architekten Le Corbusier entworfen und nach einem Schachbrettmuster angelegt.

  • Chapter 5 Summary & Conclusions…
    ….. Chapter 5 Summary & Conclusions… Summary and conclusion….. CHAPTER V SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION Indian children of past generations grew up on a plethora of fascinating stories that often began with the phrase, “Ek tha Raja”- once upon a time there was a King. Many of these tales were from the Puranas, the Mahabharata, and other ancient treatises. The princely rulers of India, with their opulent places and extravagant lifestyles, have been a source of fascination for centuries. Providence, it would seem, had created them with the sole intention of offering mankind a spectacle, a dazzling vision of marble palaces, costumes and jewels. The word “ruler’s costume” conjures up a vision of splendor and magnificence: ropes of pearls, huge diamonds, jeweled turbans, elaborately carved furniture, shimmering textiles in every imaginable color. Some details are particular to a group and have become part of the textiles that identify their owners. (Dwivedi S,1999) Royal costumes explore India's cultural identity via illustrating the textile traditions laid forth by the royal families. The way royal clothes were draped and layered, the elegance with which they were worn, the movement created by the countless folds and the subtle interplay of colour and light can only be imagined through these visual references from sculptures, cave paintings, medieval miniatures and palm leaf manuscripts. Such evidence, however, seemed to be incomplete. In 1947 the maharajas who had ruled the Indian subcontinent for centuries saw their territories merge with the newly formed democratic states. Among all other princely states of India, the Royal House of Kachchh(or Cutch) came in accession on 1st June 1948 and belongs to the Jadeja clan of Rajputs admired with 17 gun salute, 19 guns local.

  • Coastal Plain of Kachchh District
    Natural Character Coastal Plain of Kachchh District Area profile: Community ecosystem services assessment references Introduction & Summary Description Opportunities Community participation Action plan References The University of Greenwich in collaboration with the Gujarat Institute of Desert Ecology (GUIDE) present the project Ecosystem Assessment of the Coastal Plain Natural Area of Kachchh District: Planning for Biodiversity and Livelihoods into the Future funded by the British Council UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI) The origin of this project The initial approach was made to the University of Greenwich by a former student on the MSc in Environmental Conservation who had returned to India and was working at GUIDE. He wanted to collaborate in writing a bid as a prelude to doing a PhD. It is perhaps unfortunate that, by the time the funding was approved, he had left GUIDE. The original suggestion was that a proposal should be written to carry out research into the perceived problem of the non native invasive species Prosopis juliflora. This plant is a problem in many countries across the globe and it is extremely difficult to control. The University of Greenwich team suggested that the most appropriate strategy would be take an integrated approach to land use planning. In England the basis for this is a combination of desk study, landscape assessment and participation of local people to develop a ‘Natural Character Area’ (NCA) profile for areas identified as having shared biophysical characteristics. These documents are available on the internet and provide the context for decision making at all levels and purposes, from finding the most appropriate location for industry to identifying priorities for resource allocation.

  • History of Kachchh
    History of Kachchh Kachchh is an ancient land; it has an important historical age. It is known as Kachchh due to its geographical characteristics and due to its turtle-like land shape. This name is in existence in ancient history. Mallinathi, in his ‘Bhashya Sanjivani’ on ‘Amarkosh’, has explained it as damp region or fallow low land. By this name it has been also referred to in the Puranas, in the various notes on this region by foreign travellers that visited this country in olden times, as also in stone inscriptions and copper plates and in old writings and manuscripts by which name it has also been referred to in the Mahabharat The earlier history of Kachchh is found in Greek literature. The Greek visitor and military captain also spoiled the original name of Abhir during second century B.C. and referred it to as Abiriya or Abhir from its original inhabitants, the Abhirs who resided in this area; it later on came to be known as Kachchh. Till the 3rd and 4th Century A.D. and even thereafter, it came to be referred to by both the names Kachchh as well as Abhir. The history of Kachchh is very old. Traces of the Indus valley civilization (3000 to 1500 B.C.) have been discovered at Dholavira – Kachchh. When Alexandra the Great reached these parts in 325 BC Rann was not an arm of the sea. The eastern branch of the Indus emptied itself into the Rann which made it into a fresh water lake. The Mauryan empire broke of the Gujrat Kachchh and Sindh passed under the rules of Greeks from Bactria in 140-120 BC.

  • Esperanto Delhi Chapter, Established 1986 May 2019 Issue
    Esperanto Delhi Chapter, Established 1986 May 2019 Issue Chairperson’s Message Dear Members, There are many types of people those who are happy and loving, discontent and resent, grateful and disgruntled, positive and negative; but the most important one that connects people is magnanimity. If we want to have lasting relationships with people, we need to be magnanimous. If there is no forgiveness, no support, and no give and take between friends or between members of any association or organization, how could any relationship last for long? However, we also see many people forgetting disagreements of the past and becoming friends again based on magnanimity. What a wonderful thing it is! Besides being magnanimous towards people, we should also have the capacity for tolerance towards all beings and things. What I believe is that; this would be the first step towards the growth of all of us, with this; there will be change in the surroundings automatically. All these are the rules and principals to accomplish our goal. IASAP is a family and to take it to the next level, the support of all of you is needed with all these qualities. “Without a compass and a ruler, we cannot form perfect circles and squares,” because the compass and ruler provide a framework for making such circles and squares. Each and every member of IASAP plays a role of the compass and the ruler. When we want to climb the corporate ladder, we must abide by the rules governing interpersonal relationships or we might be ambushed. To be successful along the way, we must play by the rules of the game.
