  • Also Known As Jaintia Or Synteng, Though Pnar Is the Term Pre
    chapter 20 Pnar Hiram Ring 1 Background Pnar (pbv) (also known as Jaintia or Synteng, though Pnar is the term pre- ferred by speakers) is a member of the Khasian (or Meghalayan) branch of Austroasiatic language spoken in northeast India, primarily in the West and East Jaintia Hills Districts of Meghalaya State.1 Some speakers are found in Assam state to the north and east as well as in the neighboring country of Bangladesh to the south. Although traditionally described as a dialect of Khasi, Pnar exhibits key differences in pronunciation, lexicon, and syntax. According to native speakers of both languages, the differences mean that Pnar and Khasi are not mutually intelligible, though the similarities allow speakers of one lan- guage to learn the other in some months if they are made aware of the differ- ences. The two communities also share many cultural similarities which have contributed to a unity of society and practice, particularly in the domains of government and traditional religion. Khasi is the main language of instruction in primary schools of the region. The 2001 Census of India counted 243,000 speakers of Pnar. The 2011 Census of India (which has not yet released language-specific figures) lists the total population of Jaintia Hills as 395,124. Daladier (2011) estimates the current number of Pnar speakers at around 700,000, though this seems largely a guess. As late as 2011, Khasi was listed in UNESCO’s Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger2 as vulnerable, suggesting that it may be in some danger, but due to its consistent use as a language of instruction, this classification is somewhat problematic.

  • Declining Rainfall in Cherrapunji
    Declining Rainfall in Cherrapunji drishtiias.com/printpdf/declining-rainfall-in-cherrapunji Why in News A recent study that looked at the rainfall pattern in the past 119 years found a decreasing trend at Cherrapunji (Meghalaya) and nearby areas. The village of Mawsynram in East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya has beaten Cherrapunji to become the wettest place in the world. Mawsynram receives over 10,000 millimetres of rain in a year. Mawsynram is located around 81 km by road from Cherrapunji however the straight line distance between the two is 15.2 km. Key Points 1/3 Reduction in Rainfall: The annual mean rainfall for the period 1973–2019 showed decreasing trends of about 0.42 mm per decade. It was statistically significant along seven stations (Agartala, Cherrapunji, Guwahati, Kailashahar, Pasighat, Shillong and Silchar). Reasons: Rising Temperature: The changes in the Indian Ocean temperature have a huge effect on the rainfall in the region. Increasing sea surface temperatures in the tropical Indian Ocean region was pointed out by the first climate change assessment report published by the Union Ministry of Earth Sciences in June 2020. Increased Human Activities: The satellite data showed that there was a reduction in the vegetation area in northeast India in the past two decades, implying that human influence also plays an important role in the changing rainfall patterns. The traditional way of cultivation known as Jhum cultivation or shifting cultivation is now decreased and being replaced by other methods. There is sizable deforestation in the region. The study saw the decrease in vegetation cover and increase in the areas of cropland mainly from the year 2006 onwards.

  • Chapter 5 Meghalaya
    Chapter 5 Meghalaya MN Karna 1. Meghalaya: A Profile Search for a well delineated perspective to understand the politico–economic complexities of India’s North East is certainly called for to create awareness of the problems and prospects for expanding sub–regional cooperation. Although substantial ground has now been covered and we have better insight into the problems of the region, however issues involved in political and economic questions are invariably expressed through the channel of movements. All the communities are virtually in ferment. It will not be too much to characterize this as a state of ‘culture of movement’. In consequence, there is no objective assessment of the prevailing situation. The native scholars are not liberal enough to talk freely about changes occurring within the socio – political institutions as many a time crucial issue is camouflaged. On the contrary, the researchers not belonging to the region are under the constant pressure of an imagined threat of attack for their openness. Under the circumstances, the portrayal of the North East is more often mythical than real. Notwithstanding such a critical setting, the present essay aims to provide basic information with regard to the current state of economic, political and social interrelatedness of the state of Meghalaya with the neighbouring states and the country. It attempts also to highlight the initiatives of various sections of society towards the future course of the sub – regional cooperation. The paper concludes with a note on the problems and the prospects of the region for widening an effective path of the sub – regional cooperation. To describe and illustrate these facts I have drawn essentially on secondary source materials.

British oficials were attracted by the cool climate—a result of the heaviest rainfall in the world— and soon made it the administrative headquarters of northeast India. So impressed were they with Cherrapunji that the agent to the govern- ment general was willing to exchange “a portion of the bold and sterile land [in the plains] for a slice of fertile land below [in Cherrapunji].” He immediately recommend- ed a sanatorium be established to aid the recovery of European military men. But the Cherrapunji station had to be shifted to Shillong, since the area’s wetness threatened soldiers’ health and challenged efforts at imperial administration. The soils in Cherra- punji held very little moisture, so despite the precipitation drinking water was scarce.
