Meanwhile the paper is focusing the rituals and traditional games among the tribes on special occasion. Keywords: Bandha II, Kaimur Range, Archaeology, Anthropology, Expedition, Rock Art, Dance Introduction Between 7th-10th December of 2013 author explored the Bandha-II. The range of the Kaimur as well as the entire area of the south of the Middle Ganga seems to be in the state of terra-incognita that is seeking help of the massive efforts of archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, geologists and other relative discipline. And the present attempt to make an archaeological as well as social anthropological study (Tiwary 2013:1-16) of the Kaimurian (those tribes and live person who evolved and developed in this region only, also they did artistic work in the caves and shelter, which is still live) rock art reveals great potentialities in respect from the prehistoric times to the present times.

Feedback Ans-C The foundation of Muslim rule in India was laid by Mohammad Ghori towards the close of the 12th century A.D. However, long before that Muslims had started making attempts to enter India. The Erst such attempt was made in the middle of the 7th century A.D. which however, proved a failure in 711-713 A.D. the Arabs under Muhammad- bin-Qasim, nephew of the Governor of Basra attacked India and conquered Sindh and Multan. The next attempt to capture India was made by the Turks of Ghazni. Subuktgin and his son Mahmud (995—1030) attacked Punjab which was then ruled by the Shahi dynasty. Subuktgin defeated the Shahi ruler Jaipal and deprived him of his trans Indus territory. The rest of the territories of Jaipal were wrested by his son Mahmud. The credit for laying Erm foundation of the Muslim rule in India goes to Mohammad Ghori. Ghori seized the throne of Ghazni in 1173. After the death of Ghori, his Viceroy Kutub- ud-Din Aibak set up Slave dynasty in India.

Several methodologies have been used for regionalisation depending on the purpose and ends. An important objective of most of these efforts was to evolve agro-ecological regional maps for the country in order to delineate comparable resource regions, for generating and transferring agro-technology to meet the country’s needs of food, fodder and fibre. Most early attempts at regionalisation were on the basis of broad natural regions, existing cropping patterns, as well as a broad framework of climatic variations at a macro scale. Mitra (1977) divided the country into 7 natural regions, 31 sub regions and 89 divisions. Murthy and Pandey (1978) demarcated the country into 8 regions on the basis of physiographic, soils, rainfall and water balance, and agricultural practices. This regionalisation suffered from too much generalization and over-emphasis on agro-climatic indicators.
