The foundation of Hoshiarpur town, from which the district derives its name, is assigned to two traditions, one is that Hoshiar Khan, a resident of Bajwara, -lived here about ·600 years ago, and the town was named after him and the other is that Hargobind and Ram Chand, Diwans of the Emperor Mohammad Tughlak, who reigned about the same period (about 600 years ago) founded this town. Situation and Boundaries, The district is situated between latitude 30° 58' 10 Nand 0 32 0 OS' 50" and longitude 75 ~8' IS" and 76° 38/1 50" and is bounded on the east by Kangra, Simla and Bilaspur, on the west by Jullundur and Kapurthala dis.tricts, on the north and north-west beyond the River Beas by Gurdaspur district and on the south beyond the River Sutlej by Ambala district. It resembles in shape, a man standing at ease. Configuration. The district is divided into four tahsils viz. Hoshiarpur, Dasuya, Una and Garhshankar. The valley of the Sowan Nadi forms the Una Tahsil. The tahsils of Hoshiarpur, Dasuya and Garhshankar comprise of the alluvial plain and the western slopes of the Siwaliks upto the watershed. Area. As a result of the Absorption of Enclaves Order, 1950 the district has gained a block of 24 villages of Bhunga tahsil of Kapurthala district, having an area of 14.3 square miles. The area of the district, accordmg to the Survey of India Depart­ ment, is 2226.5 square miles. The mountain system. The Siwalik8. The Siwalik Range, forming as it were its backbone, is situated between the River Sutlej and Beas. The breadth of the Siwaliks varies from 5 to 8 miles. The Sub Himalayan Hills. The Chintpurni Sola Singhi or Jaswan Dhar Range which shuts in the Dun to the elst, commences near Talwara on the 2 Beas where the river first enters the district. It runs south.. eastwards and separating the district from Kangra as it advances further southward, it increases in width as well as in height until its highest point is reached at Bharwain. At this point the width is 20 miles and the elevation 3b96 feet from sea level. From this point onward towards the sutlej its north goes sink­ ing gradually into the Beas valley but on the south it has an abrupt fall of from 200' to 300' and between the main range and plain is the Jaswan Dun-some 15 mile3 in length and 8 miles in breadth-which is thickly forested. RIVERS. There are two rivers of permanent flow in the district i.e. The Beas and the Sutlej. A brief acconnt of each is given below:- The Beas. The Beas, which forms the northern boundary of the district enters the district near Talwara and meeting the Siwaliks curves north wards. At Motla it runs south-west and thence forms the boundary between Hoshiarpur and the Gurdaspur district. It is said that once it flowed much nearer to the Siwaliks and it is probable that the line of Chhambs in Dasuya tahsil formed its old course. The Sutlej. .. It enters the district near Bhabaur in the Jaswan Dun and turns southward till near Kiratpur, when it curves to the west and cuts through the Siwaliks opposite Rupar. It drains the southern parts of the district. Swan Nadi. Swan is a broad torrent the waters of which spread about two miles in the rainy ~eason. The' Jaswan Dun is traversed throughout by .this Nadi which is the main drain into which the ravines of the hills empty their Waters and during the rainy season the whole of th,e valley is filled with flood water but during the other seasons it becomes a petty stream. It abounds in quick-sands but the water is not more than 2/3 feet deep· Beins. Besides the above, there are two Beins in the district, which take their rise in the district, i.e. Black Bein and White Bein. The former commences in the Terkiana Chhamb and passe3 on to the Kapurthala district and is of a permanent flow while the latter takes its rise from .hillocks near 3 Garhshankar and after a winding course it tUrns sharp to the north with a almost a permant flow and runs parallel with the district boundary. now in Hoshiarpur, now in ullundur district. These Beins are not more than a few feet in width, but are very troub1e.~ome to cross on account of their depth and soft bottom. Canals There is only one canal worth the name in the district called Shah Nahr taken out from the Beas in the north-west of the District in Dasuya tahsil at village Changarwan. It was originally constructed during the decline of the Mughul Empire but its working started satisfactorily with the first revised settlement of the District. It is now under the charge of the Canal Department and irrigates more than 6000 acres of land. Chhambs. Chhambs or big water p::>ols in the marshy land of Dasuya tahsil are believed to be the old bed of the River Beas and from Mukerian to the territory of Kapurtbala they make a chain parallel to the river. Tne most important of these are K1.1ablgh Chhamb to the west of Mukerian, Terkiana, Naraingarh, Chanaite or Munakwala and Zahura Chhambs which all lie in a chain. Around these chhambs, rice is grown abundantly. Chos. The hill torrents or the chos pour. into the plains in the rainy season alm03t every mile and they have affected the soil of the district very badly by depositing sand when they are in flood. Steps are nOw being taken by the Forest Department to close their passages and thus protect the lands from damage. Geology. Regarding the geology of the district, the following account is reproduced from the Gazetteer of the Hoshiarpur district Part-A, 1904:- "The geology of the outer Siwaliks is described in Baden Powell's report above referred to and in the Sketch of the geology of' the province published by Mr.

In this study, Acreage Estimation of Vegetables in northern Punjab is carried out by using Multidate IRS - P6 AWiFS Data sets of seven dates viz., September (30), October (14, 24), November (17), December (25), January (4, 13). The aim of this study is to detect area estimation under winter vegetables in Punjab districts between 2005 - 2008 using satellite images. Vegetable area carried out by decision rule based classification: two models are created, one for acreage estimation of vegetables the other for generation of NDVI of all date satellite data. After classification of the image, classified image is recoded to merge different classes of the single output category in one category. Winter Vegetables have been detected by image processing method in EDRAS imagine9.3, ArcGIS9.3. In study area, as a whole there is positive change (14.9%) in area under vegetable crop. But two districts, namely, Kapurthala and Jalandhar have experienced negative change .But in another three districts Amritsar, Tarn Taran and Hoshiarpur districts have recorded positive change in area under vegetable.

  • Growth of Urban Population in Malwa (Punjab)
    International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2018 34 ISSN 2250-3153 Growth of Urban Population in Malwa (Punjab) Kamaljit Kaur DOI: 10.29322/IJSRP.8.7.2018.p7907 http://dx.doi.org/10.29322/IJSRP.8.7.2018.p7907 Abstract: This study deals with the spatial analysis of growth of urban population. Malwa region has been taken as a case study. During 1991-2001, the urban growth has been shown in Malwa region of Punjab. The large number of new towns has emerged in this region during 1991-2001 periods. Urban growth of Malwa region as well as distribution of urban centres is closely related to accessibility and modality factors. The large urban centres are located along major arteries. International border with an unfriendly neighbour hinders urban growth. It indicates that secondary activities have positive correlation with urban growth. More than 90% of urban population of Malwa region lives in large and medium towns of Punjab. More than 50% lives in large towns. Malwa region is agriculturally very prosperous area. So Mandi towns are well distributed throughout the region. Keywords: Growth, Urban, Population, Development. I. INTRODUCTION The distribution of urban population and its growth reflect the economic structure of population as well as economic growth of the region. The urban centers have different socio economic value systems, degree of socio-economic awakening than the rural areas. Although Urbanisation is an inescapable process and is related to the economic growth of the region but regional imbalances in urbanization creates problems for Planners so urban growth need to be channelized in planned manner and desired direction.

    DOI: 10.15740/HAS/AJHS/14.2/425-428 esearch aper ISSN : 0973-4732 Visit us: www.researchjournal.co.in R P AsianAJHS Journal of Home Science Volume 14 | Issue 2 | December, 2019 | 425-428 Role of dalit diaspora in the mobility of the disadvantaged in Doaba region of Punjab Amanpreet Kaur Received: 23.09.2019; Revised: 07.11.2019; Accepted: 21.11.2019 ABSTRACT : In Sikh majority state Punjab most of the population live in rural areas. Scheduled caste population constitute 31.9 per cent of total population. Jat Sikhs and Dalits constitute a major part of the Punjab’s demography. From three regions of Punjab, Majha, Malwa and Doaba,the largest concentration is in the Doaba region. Proportion of SC population is over 40 per cent and in some villages it is as high as 65 per cent.Doaba is famous for two factors –NRI hub and Dalit predominance. Remittances from NRI, SCs contributed to a conspicuous change in the self-image and the aspirations of their families. So the present study is an attempt to assess the impact of Dalit diaspora on their families and dalit community. Study was conducted in Doaba region on 160 respondents. Emigrants and their families were interviewed to know about remittances and expenditure patterns. Information regarding philanthropy was collected from secondary sources. Emigration of Dalits in Doaba region of Punjab is playing an important role in the social mobility. They are in better socio-economic position and advocate the achieved status rather than ascribed. Majority of them are in Gulf countries and their remittances proved Authror for Correspondence: fruitful for their families.

  • Physical Geography of the Punjab
    19 Gosal: Physical Geography of Punjab Physical Geography of the Punjab G. S. Gosal Formerly Professor of Geography, Punjab University, Chandigarh ________________________________________________________________ Located in the northwestern part of the Indian sub-continent, the Punjab served as a bridge between the east, the middle east, and central Asia assigning it considerable regional importance. The region is enclosed between the Himalayas in the north and the Rajputana desert in the south, and its rich alluvial plain is composed of silt deposited by the rivers - Satluj, Beas, Ravi, Chanab and Jhelam. The paper provides a detailed description of Punjab’s physical landscape and its general climatic conditions which created its history and culture and made it the bread basket of the subcontinent. ________________________________________________________________ Introduction Herodotus, an ancient Greek scholar, who lived from 484 BCE to 425 BCE, was often referred to as the ‘father of history’, the ‘father of ethnography’, and a great scholar of geography of his time. Some 2500 years ago he made a classic statement: ‘All history should be studied geographically, and all geography historically’. In this statement Herodotus was essentially emphasizing the inseparability of time and space, and a close relationship between history and geography. After all, historical events do not take place in the air, their base is always the earth. For a proper understanding of history, therefore, the base, that is the earth, must be known closely. The physical earth and the man living on it in their full, multi-dimensional relationships constitute the reality of the earth. There is no doubt that human ingenuity, innovations, technological capabilities, and aspirations are very potent factors in shaping and reshaping places and regions, as also in giving rise to new events, but the physical environmental base has its own role to play.

  • 1. Introduction “Bhand-Marasi”
    1. INTRODUCTION “BHAND-MARASI” A Folk-Form of Punjabi theatre Bhand-Marasi is a Folk-Form of Punjabi theatre. My project is based on Punjabi folk-forms. I am unable to work on all the existing folk-forms of Punjab because of limited budget & time span. By taking in concern the current situation of the Punjabi folk theatre, I together with my whole group, strongly feel that we should put some effort in preventing this particular folk-form from being extinct. Bhand-Marasi had been one of the chief folk-form of celebration in Punjabi culture. Nowadays, people don’t have much time to plan longer celebrations at homes since the concept of marriage palaces & banquet halls has arrived & is in vogue these days to celebrate any occasion in the family. Earlier, these Bhand-Marasis used to reach people’s home after they would get the wind of any auspicious tiding & perform in their courtyard; singing holy song, dancing, mimic, becoming characters of the host family & making or enacting funny stories about these family members & to wind up they would pray for the family’s well-being. But in the present era, their job of entertaining the people has been seized by the local orchestra people. Thus, the successors of these Bhand- Marasis are forced to look for other jobs for their living. 2. OBJECTIVE At present, we feel the need of “Data- Creation” of this Folk Theatre-Form of Punjab. Three regions of Punjab Majha, Malwa & Doaba differ in dialect, accent & in the folk-culture as well & this leads to the visible difference in the folk-forms of these regions.

  • Changing Caste Relations and Emerging Contestations in Punjab
    CHANGING CASTE RELATIONS AND EMERGING CONTESTATIONS IN PUNJAB PARAMJIT S. JUDGE When scholars and political leaders characterised Indian society as unity in diversity, there were simultaneous efforts in imagining India as a civilisational unity also. The consequences of this ‘imagination’ are before us in the form of the emergence of religious nationalism that ultimately culminated into the partition of the country. Why have I started my discussion with the issue of religious nationalism and partition? The reason is simple. Once we assume that a society like India could be characterised in terms of one caste hierarchical system, we are essentially constructing the discourse of dominant Hindu civilisational unity. Unlike class and gender hierarchies which are exist on economic and sexual bases respectively, all castes cannot be aggregated and arranged in hierarchy along one axis. Any attempt at doing so would amount to the construction of India as essentially the Hindu India. Added to this issue is the second dimension of hierarchy, which could be seen by separating Varna from caste. Srinivas (1977) points out that Varna is fixed, whereas caste is dynamic. Numerous castes comprise each Varna, the exception to which is the Brahmin caste whose caste differences remain within the caste and are unknown to others. We hardly know how to distinguish among different castes of Brahmins, because there is complete absence of knowledge about various castes among them. On the other hand, there is detailed information available about all the scheduled castes and backward classes. In other words, knowledge about castes and their place in the stratification system is pre- determined by the enumerating agency.
