Glossary of Caste Names, Chittoor CENSUS OF INDIA 1951 GLOSSAllY OF CASTE NAMES CHITTOOR DISTRICT Ol<'l<'lUl~ O["iTHE RINTENDEN'l/ OF CENSUS OPERATIONS :MADRAS 1955 Ii'OREWORr At the 1951. Census, t.abulation in respect of castes, trib~s anef commu­ nities was limited to the collection of traotwise and di8triotwis~ population figures of Soheduled Oastes and Scheduled Tribes only. No data reg!l-rding other castes and tribes were publillhed at .the.J951 Census although informa­ tion regarding the caste or tribe to which the individual belonged and by which he returned himself had been recorded on the enumeration slips. In the composite Madras State, the ~numerators were furnished with 9nly one_list of castes, which the State Government considered as belonging to tJ;le non,Baok­ ward Classes. The list covered the names of 25 communities specified on the reverse. In the case of these coinmunities or sub-sects thereof, the enumerators were instructed· to write down the symbol '1' against question 2 (c) rela~ing to "Classification of community". In the case of .all other oo'm:r1lUnities, the enumerators were instructed to record the name of the community as retnrned by the individual. 2. The appended Glossary of Caste names has been prepared under instructions from the Deputy Registrar.General, India. It has been o~)llsidered that a Glossary ·of Caste names as returned at the 1951 Census may ,be useful for purposes of a correct and rational classification of castes, in case any data regarding classes and communities are required to be gat~ered at the next oensus. 3. In certain States the Glossary has been prepared from the 10 per cent sample slips but in Madras State the Glossary has been prepared by running through all the enumeration slips relating to male categories where the slips relating to suoh oategories were kept distinct from those relating to female categories. Where such categories were not kept distinot all the slips were examined. Thl_) Glossary having been prepared praotically by an examin~tion of all the census slips it can be taken as a complete list of castes returned at the 1951 Census. 4. Some of the names, it, will be found, are but synonyms of other caste names and many of the names represent sub· castes of individual main castes. The names of castes are those actually returned by the individuals. The same caste may be ocourring under different or inoorrect spellings and corrupt forms. It has not been possible for me within the limited time at my disposal to examine and find out ill consultation with Collectors the correct sp,elling of each caste name and to bring together the corrupt forms of the same caste name. However, as the lists may prove useful, I suggest that the Collectors may be requested to examine them ca.refully and take steps to bring together under a standard spelling all the variations of the same name.

  • 6. Understanding the Epistemology of Talaq
    2016 (2) Elen. L R 6. UNDERSTANDING THE EPISTEMOLOGY OF TALAQ UNDER THE SHARIAT LAW Neema Noor Mohamed1 Introduction “Talaq” has turned out to be one of the most debated topic in the recent past in the contemporary India. Indian Muslim women living in the 21st century globalising world had to be the victims of the most arbitrary practice called “Triple Talaq” that legally prevailed in India until the historic judgement delivered by the constitutional Bench of Supreme court through ShayaraBano and others vs Union of India. This is a time to retrospect what made India, the largest democratic country to take such a long time to abolish this unislamic and unconstitutional practice, which has been abolished even by those countries where Shariat is the law of the land. This practice of triple Talaq was totally in contradiction with the law of divorce as held in the Quran. The sad reality is that divorce especially in the form of Talaq (divorce by husband) is the most misinterpreted incident leading to much suffering to the Muslim women. To quote Noel James Coulson, “without doubt it is the institution of Talaq which stands out in the whole range of the family law as occasioning the gravest prejudice to the status of Muslim women” (Quoted in Pearl and Meski 1988: 286). To a vast extend during his lifetime; Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) through his intellectualism and divinity, brought systematisation and Islamicization in every aspect of human conduct and relations. Unfortunately after the death of Prophet, his followers could not take up the legacy with the time and space which led to havoc in various aspects of Islamic Jurisprudence.

  • The Kuppam Kalanjia Samakhya Experience
    Restoring Trust – The Kuppam Kalanjia Samakhya Experience - J.Dharmendra kumar, Managing Director, Kuppam kalanjia Samakhya Background of the location Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh in Rayalaseema region was characterized by backwardness and poor performance in basic social indicators. Kuppam is one of the mandal in Chittor district, which is in the extreme corner of AP, surrounded by Tamilnadu on eastern and southern sides and on west by Karnataka. In order to strengthen the existing DWCRA groups and regularize the systems DRDA has approached DHAN Foundation and made an agreement in the month of Nov. 99. The main objective of this project was graduating the existing DWCRA groups in to savings and credit groups and promotion of mandal level federation. DHAN Foundation would act as an implementing agency and has agreed to implement the project. DRDA, chittoor would provide necessary guidance and promotional cost for implementing the project in installment on half-yearly basis. Dhan entered in the month of January 2000 with the objective of initiating a process of demonstrating successful establishment of savings and credit groups which will emerge in to a self managed federation to provide financial services to the poor. At present Kuppam Kalanjia Samakhya is working with 253 groups in 104 villages with 3536 and 10 restructured cluster development associations. The starting scenario Kuppam mandal is located in a very remote and backward area in Andhra Pradesh. The socio-economic status of the people, especially women is very low. Due to extreme poverty, people frequently required small loans. “However banks are unwilling to entertain these amounts.

    Consortium for Research on Educational Access, Transitions and Equity South Asian Nomads - A Literature Review Anita Sharma CREATE PATHWAYS TO ACCESS Research Monograph No. 58 January 2011 University of Sussex Centre for International Education The Consortium for Educational Access, Transitions and Equity (CREATE) is a Research Programme Consortium supported by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). Its purpose is to undertake research designed to improve access to basic education in developing countries. It seeks to achieve this through generating new knowledge and encouraging its application through effective communication and dissemination to national and international development agencies, national governments, education and development professionals, non-government organisations and other interested stakeholders. Access to basic education lies at the heart of development. Lack of educational access, and securely acquired knowledge and skill, is both a part of the definition of poverty, and a means for its diminution. Sustained access to meaningful learning that has value is critical to long term improvements in productivity, the reduction of inter- generational cycles of poverty, demographic transition, preventive health care, the empowerment of women, and reductions in inequality. The CREATE partners CREATE is developing its research collaboratively with partners in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The lead partner of CREATE is the Centre for International Education at the University of Sussex. The partners are:

  • Analysis of Ground Water Potential in Chandragiri Mandal, Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh
    Available online a t www.pelagiaresearchlibrary.com Pelagia Research Library Advances in Applied Science Research, 2013, 4(4):255-265 ISSN: 0976-8610 CODEN (USA): AASRFC Analysis of ground water potential in Chandragiri Mandal, Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh Bhupal. K and Reddi Bhaskara Reddy. M Dept. of Geography, Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Ground water prospects of any area depend on its geological structure, geomorphic features and their hydrological characters. Identification and mapping of these elements is thus imperative for ground water exploration and optimal management of this precious resource. In the present paper ground water potentiality in Chandragiri mandal, Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh has been evaluated by analyzing the hydro geomorphic parameters using Remote sensing Techniques. Satellite image and Topographical map have been used to prepare the required thematic maps like geology, lineaments, geomorphology, surface water bodies and drainage. These maps have been integrated in GIS environment to demarcate the hydro geomorphic units. Nine hydro geomorphic units viz. Flood plain, Moderately Weathered pedi plain, Shallow Weathered Pedi plain, Residual hill, Denudation hill, Structural hill, Inselberg, Pediment and Bajada have been derived from the integrated map. Ground water potentiality has been qualitatively assessed by analyzing the derived hydro geomorphic units after considering the field information. Key words : Ground water potential, Geomorphology, Lineaments, Pediplains, Pediments, Inselburg _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Rapid growth of population has projected the demand for food production and opened new ways to improve the utilization of surface and sub-surface water resources recently in a systematic and in a scientific way. The excavation at Mohenjo-Daro have related brick-lined dug wells existing as early as 3000 B.C.

    Malli Gandhi ENDANGERMENT OF LANGUAGE AMONG THE YERUKULA: A NOMADIC / DENOTIFIED TRIBE OF ANDHRA PRADESH The scheduled tribes, nomadic and denotified tribes constitute a major segment of population in Andhra Pradesh. They live in remote areas of the state and need special focus to solve their problems. Jatapu, Konda Dora, Muka Dora, Manne Dora, Savara, Gadaba, Chenchu, Koya, Gondi are some of the major primitive tribal groups of Andhra Pradesh. In addition there are Dasari, Yerukula, Yanadi, Sugali, Korawa, Koracha, Kaidai and Nakkala as some of the denotified tribes in Andhra Pradesh. Further, Woddera, Pamula, Nirshikari, Budabukkala, Mandula, Pusala, Gangi, Reddula, Boya, Dommara, Jogi are some of the nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes. Andhra Pradesh has 52 lakhs scheduled tribe population (2001 census). The largest tribal population is found in Khammam district (26.47% that is 682617 – 6.8 lakhs), followed by Visakapatnam district (5.58 lakhs). The tribal population of Andhra Pradesh increased from 7.67 to 52 lakhs in 50 years between 1951 and 2001. The substantial population increase between 1971 and 2001 was because of the recognition of the Sugali, Yerukula, Yanadi, Nakkala and other denotified, nomadic tribes as scheduled tribes in the entire state. The tribal communities in the state of Andhra Pradesh mostly exhibited Proto-Austroloid features. Chenchus and Yanadis exhibit some Negrito strain whereas the Khond and Savara have Mongoloid features. The tribal communities in Andhra Pradesh mainly belong to three linguistic families such as: Dravidian language family (Gondi, Koya, Kolami, Yerukula, and so on); Mundari language family (Savra, Godaba, and so on); Indo-Aryan language family (Banjara, and others).

Raja Reddi and Urmila Pingle in memory of our journeys in tribal country Preface ― xi ― This book tells of observations among Indian tribal populations spanning the period from 1940 to 1980. Ever since 1936, when a study of the Konyak Nagas marked the beginning of my career as an anthropological field-worker, I have maintained contacts with Indian tribesmen. True, there were years when I concentrated on the study of the mountain peoples of Nepal, but even then I paid periodic visits to some of the tribal areas of India, and this enabled me to keep abreast of current developments. When in 1976 I retired from the Chair of Asian Anthropology at the University of London and could devote more time to fieldwork, I decided to undertake a systematic investigation of social and economic changes affecting the tribal societies which I had studied in the 1940s. A grant from the Social Science Research Council of Great Britain, as well as subsidiary awards from the Leverhulme Trust Fund and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, provided the material basis for this project, which included also the funding of parallel research by my young colleague Dr.
