Report of the Population Estimates of India PR G. 37 (N) 500 CENSUS OF INDIA,1961 REPORT ON THE POPULATION ESTIMATES OF INDIA (1820-1830) EDITED By DURGAPRASAD BHATTACHARYA BIBHAVATI BHATTACHARYA of the Socio-Economic Research Institute, C-19, .College Street Market, Calcutta-I2 GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR GENERALt INDIA Price: Rs. 6-50 Paise or 15 sb. 2 d. or 2 $ 34 Cents. FOREWORD This is the first of eight projected volumes on Population Estimatesfor various parts of India, made from the eighteenth century upto 1870, when the first Census of India was plannedfor execution in-1872. The enthusiasm expressed by Sri D_urgap/asad Bhattac!!arya of the Socio-Economic Research Institute of Calcutta, made the project possible. Certain suggestions made by me on the uniform presentation of data were readily accepted and the present volume represents the fruit of searches made for population estimates roughly for the decade 1820-1830. As this volume is one of the first ventures of its kind, I advised that there should be a minimum of editing, appraisal being limited to ten paints mentioned in para 1.5 in the editor's Preface. The Executive Council of the Socio-Economic Research Institute accepted these suggestions and the editors have presented the material, as far as possible, under the ten prescribed heads. This first volume is primarily designed to elicit suggestions and criticisms for improvement. The Census Commission, therefore, invites comments and criticisms so that the future volumes may be enriched. A bib/iog(aphy of Indian Census Publications is also ready for the press. New Delhi, A.

  • David Scott in North-East India 1802-1831
    'Its interesting situation between Hindoostan and China, two names with which the civilized world has been long familiar, whilst itself remains nearly unknown, is a striking fact and leaves nothing to be wished, but the means and opportunity for exploring it.' Surveyor-General Blacker to Lord Amherst about Assam, 22 April, 1824. DAVID SCOTT IN NORTH-EAST INDIA 1802-1831 A STUDY IN BRITISH PATERNALISM br NIRODE K. BAROOAH MUNSHIRAM MANOHARLAL, NEW DELHI TO THE MEMORY OF DR. LALIT KUMAR BAROOAH PREFACE IN THE long roll of the East India Company's Bengal civil servants, placed in the North-East Frontier region. the name of David Scott stands out, undoubtably,. - as one of the most fasci- nating. He served the Company in the various capacities on the northern and eastern frontiers of the Bengal Presidency from 1804 to 1831. First coming into prominrnce by his handling of relations with Bhutan, Sikkim, and Tibet during the Nepal war of 1814, Scott was successively concerned with the Garo hills, the Khasi and Jaintia hills and the Brahma- putra valley (along with its eastern frontier) as gent to the Governor-General on the North-East Frontier of Bengal and as Commissioner of Assam. His career in India, where he also died in harness in 1831, at the early age of forty-five, is the subject of this study. The dominant feature in his ideas of administration was Paternalism and hence the sub-title-the justification of which is fully given in the first chapter of the book (along with the importance and need of such a study).

Metcalf, Chair Emeritus Professor David W. Cohen Associate Professor Stuart Kirsch Associate Professor Christi Merrill 1 "Unknown to me the wounds of the famine of 1943, the barbarities of war, the horror of the communal riots of 1946 were impinging on my style and engraving themselves on it, till there came a time when whatever I did, whether it was chiseling a piece of wood, or burning metal with acid to create a gaping hole, or cutting and tearing with no premeditated design, it would throw up innumerable wounds, bodying forth a single theme - the figures of the deprived, the destitute and the abandoned converging on us from all directions. The first chalk marks of famine that had passed from the fingers to engrave themselves on the heart persist indelibly." 2 Somnath Hore 1 Somnath Hore. "The Holocaust." Sculpture.

BAYLY Vere Harmsworth Professor of Imperial and Naval History, University of Cambridge, and Fellow of St Catharine's College and JOHN F. RICHARDS Professor of History, Duke University Although the original Cambridge History of India, published between 1922. and 1937, did much to formulate a chronology for Indian history and de- scribe the administrative structures of government in India, it has inevitably been overtaken by the mass of new research published over the last fifty years. Designed to take full account of recent scholarship and changing concep- tions of South Asia's historical development, The New Cambridge History of India will be published as a series of short, self-contained volumes, each dealing with a separate theme and written by a single person. Within an overall four-part structure, thirty-one complementary volumes in uniform format will be published. As before, each will conclude with a substantial bib- liographical essay designed to lead non-specialists further into the literature. The four parts planned are as follows: I The Mughals and their contemporaries II Indian states and the transition to colonialism III The Indian Empire and the beginnings of modern society IV The evolution of contemporary South Asia A list of individual titles in preparation will be found at the end of the volume.

But it did not progress fast. There are Several reasons for the above approach of the British towards the education in Odisha.(1) the British was quite apathetic towards the spread of higher education in Odisha. (2) although it wanted that the people of Odisha should learn English, but it never wanted to make them highly educated. It simply wanted a working knowledge of English only to create a clerical class of people as it wanted in case of India also.(3) higher education was very expensive. The British Government never wanted to spend more on education which will benefit the native people KEYWORDS – Puspagiri,, Sanskrit Pathsalas, Wood’s Dispatch, problem of language, English education in Odisha for their administrative convenience. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Date of Submission: 24-12-2018 Date of acceptance: 07-01-2019 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- I. INTRODUCTION Historically, Odisha has been at the forefront of education and research. The ruins of a major ancient university, Puspagiri, were recently discovered in Odisha.
