Most of the sta.tistical tables included in the vQlume are based on materials collected in the 19 S I census, but some non.. census statistics have also been included and a brief introduction to the district has been furnished in order to enable readers to follow the statistical tables without much difficulty. 2.. Before this, District Handbooks containing important census tables and other statis­ tics were published in 190 5 and 1916 in the form of statistical supplements to District Gazetteers. These Handbooks did not contain any statistics relating to individual villages. Madras and certain other provinces and Indian States published village statistics of some districts at the 19.2. I, 193 I and 1941 censuses. In Bihar also, there were proposals in 192.1 and 193 I for publishing similar statistics, but they did not materialise. The idea of publishing Handbooks like this containing both district tables and statistics of area, population, liter~cy. and live~ih~od p~ttern for .each vill~ge besides, other useful statistics relating to the dtstrtct owes Its InceptIon to Shrl R. A. Gopalaswaml, 1. c. S., the present Registrar-General and ex-officio Census Commissioner of India, who made a recommenda­ tion to this effect to all State Governments in March, 195 1. This recommendation was readily accepted by the Government of Bihar who have sanctioned the publication of the H.andbooks at their own cost. 3. As already indicated, detailed statistics for villages were not compiled for any district in Bihar before this. The task was fornlidable, and the compilation and editing had to be done within a limited time' simultaneously with the preparation of the State census tables and report. Every effort has been made to ensure correctness and accu... racy of the data and, though there' are short-comings it can be fairly clain1ed that this Handbook removes a long-felt want for a book of reference containing the basic statis­ tical information for the district and smaller units down to the mauza. 4. I have indicated at appropriate places the source from which the non-census statistics have been obtained. The brief note "Introducing the District" is based on materials drawn from varied sources. 'Thus, information refating to geology and rain­ fall, etc., has been obtained from the Geological Survey and the Meteorological Department of the Government of India (through the Registrar-General); information relating to Agricultural Statistics, from the State Department of Agricultural Statistics ; and, rega.rd ... ing n1ines, from the Chief Mining C)fficer, Bihar. My indebtedness to ()'Malley's District Gazetteer of Shahabad and l-Iubhack's final report on the Survey and Settlement Operations in the District of Shahahad will be obvious to all who have read these invaluable books. 5. The compilation of the census statistics included in this volume was done in the Patna Tabulation Office under the able supervision of Shri A. K. Banerji, Deputy 1.

  • Part 1: the Beginning of Mahabharat
    Mahabharat Story Credits: Internet sources, Amar Chitra Katha Part 1: The Beginning of Mahabharat The story of Mahabharata starts with King Dushyant, a powerful ruler of ancient India. Dushyanta married Shakuntala, the foster-daughter of sage Kanva. Shakuntala was born to Menaka, a nymph of Indra's court, from sage Vishwamitra, who secretly fell in love with her. Shakuntala gave birth to a worthy son Bharata, who grew up to be fearless and strong. He ruled for many years and was the founder of the Kuru dynasty. Unfortunately, things did not go well after the death of Bharata and his large empire was reduced to a kingdom of medium size with its capital Hastinapur. Mahabharata means the story of the descendents of Bharata. The regular saga of the epic of the Mahabharata, however, starts with king Shantanu. Shantanu lived in Hastinapur and was known for his valor and wisdom. One day he went out hunting to a nearby forest. Reaching the bank of the river Ganges (Ganga), he was startled to see an indescribably charming damsel appearing out of the water and then walking on its surface. Her grace and divine beauty struck Shantanu at the very first sight and he was completely spellbound. When the king inquired who she was, the maiden curtly asked, "Why are you asking me that?" King Shantanu admitted "Having been captivated by your loveliness, I, Shantanu, king of Hastinapur, have decided to marry you." "I can accept your proposal provided that you are ready to abide by my two conditions" argued the maiden. "What are they?" anxiously asked the king.

  • The Role of Women in the Mahabharata
    THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE MAHABHARATA The role of women in the Mahabharata makes an interesting study providing insight into the strengths and weaknesses of their character. In this epic, four women play crucial parts in the course of events. The first is Satyavati who was the daughter of the chieftain of fishermen. As a young maiden, while ferrying sage Parasara across a river, he fell in love with her. She bore him a son, Vyasa. He was brought up as an ascetic sage, but before he returned to forest life, he promised his mother he would come and help her whenever she faced difficulty. Later, the emperor Santanu fell in love with her. Her father consented to the marriage only on condition that her children would inherit the throne. Santanu’s older son, the crown prince Bhishma, not only voluntarily relinquished his right but also took the vow that he would remain celibate so that he could not have any children who might lay claim to the throne in the future. After Santanu passed away, Satyavati’s two sons died young. The older one was unmarried, and the younger had two wives, Ambika and Ambalika, who were childless. This created a crisis for there was no legal heir to the Kuru throne. Bhishma did not relent from his vow because he considered it sacred. At this juncture, Satyavati sent for her son Vyasa, who promptly responded per his earlier promise. Satyavati said the problem could be solved by his fathering a child through each of the two young widows.

  • Mahabharatha Volume Four
    The Story so Far! Kandhava Prastha was an affluent Kingdom on the banks of river Ganges and was ruled by a bold Kshatriya king Yayati. Yayati was cursed in his youth to suddenly become old, by his father-in-law, Asura guru Shukracharya, because his wife Devyani caught him red handed with the palace maid Sharmishtha. When Yayati prostrated on Shukracharya’s feet and apologized profusely, the Asuraguru relented and told him that he could regain his youth, if a young man was willing to exchange his youth for Yayati’s old age. The king had five sons and the elder four refused to help him despite being tempted by the offer of the kingdom. However the youngest son Puru embraced his father’s old age and gave away his youth. He ruled for many years as a wise and virtuous king. In ripeness of age, Yayati gave back Puru’s youth and got back his old self. Puru’s great grand son was Shantanu, who fell in love with a pretty stranger at the banks of river Ganges. This maiden of heavenly beauties was Goddess Ganga herself, who had to take birth as a mortal, because of Brahma’s curse. She remained with him as a wife for eight years and their last son was Bhishma a principal character of this epic. Many years later Shantanu fell in love with a fisher maiden Satyavathi and desired to marry her. The fisherwoman’s father was a crafty fellow who would not allow the union, unless Bhishma relinquished the throne and vowed not to marryBOOKS and beget descendants.
