Lithologic successions observed in a number of bore holes and dug wells indicate that Netravati and Gurpur rivers drained into the Arabian Sea independently during the last glacial period when the sea level was about 100-138 m below the presenrlevel. In contrast to Netravati, the lower course of Gurpur has migrated southerly in four stages for a distance of 8 km and at presenC forms a common estuary with the Netravati river. This is because of drowning of the river channel due to rapid rise in sea level during the early Holocene and growth of barrier spit under the strong influence of southerly littoral currents during late Holocene when the sea level was relatively stabile. The rate of in­ filling of alluvial and marshy sediments during late Pleistocene to early Holoc<tne (0.5-5.0 mmlyr and 0.33-4.33 mmlyr respectively) is about two-three times slower than that for barrier spit sands accumulation (0.

  • History from Below a Case Study of Folklore in Tulunadu
    27 HISTORY FROM BELOW A CASE STUDY OF FOLKLORE IN TULUNADU b y N. SHYAM BHAT Introduction - Subaltern Historiography This paper attempts to delineate and examine the uses and limitations of folklore and folk literature in the writing of history through the subaltern paradigm. The subaltern or “history from below” approach had originated in the 1980s in Indian historio­ graphy due to the efforts of Ranajit Guha and others. In the last two decades, the subaltern scholars have contributed immensely to the enrichment of historical writings on South Asia.1 Edward Said has said: “Subaltern studies represents a crossing of boundaries, a smuggling of ideas across lines, a stirring up of intellectual and, as always, political complacence”.2 David Cannadine has described it as “Gettysburg history” - of the people, by the people and for the people.3 It is an attempt to meet the demand for “de-elitisation” of history and write the history of the historyless. Like other historiographical schools in Indian history, the Subaltern school is also indebted to Western scholars and their ideas. They are considerably influenced by the writings of Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, A. L. Morton, E. P. Thompson, EricJ. Hobsbawm, Frantz Fanon, George Rude and a host of others.4 The ancient regime in historiography or “from the top down” approach in historical writing is considered obsolete at least from the last quarter of the twentieth century in India. History, as a 1. For a detailed explanation of the meaning and nature of subaltern historiography, see Ranajit Guha (ed.).

  • Expectant Urbanism Time, Space and Rhythm in A
    EXPECTANT URBANISM TIME, SPACE AND RHYTHM IN A SMALLER SOUTH INDIAN CITY by Ian M. Cook Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Professor Daniel Monterescu CEU eTD Collection Professor Vlad Naumescu Budapest, Hungary 2015 Statement I hereby state that the thesis contains no material accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. The thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgment is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Budapest, November, 2015 CEU eTD Collection Abstract Even more intense than India's ongoing urbanisation is the expectancy surrounding it. Freed from exploitative colonial rule and failed 'socialist' development, it is loudly proclaimed that India is having an 'urban awakening' that coincides with its 'unbound' and 'shining' 'arrival to the global stage'. This expectancy is keenly felt in Mangaluru (formerly Mangalore) – a city of around half a million people in coastal south Karnataka – a city framed as small, but with metropolitan ambitions. This dissertation analyses how Mangaluru's culture of expectancy structures and destructures everyday urban life. Starting from a movement and experience based understanding of the urban, and drawing on 18 months ethnographic research amongst housing brokers, moving street vendors and auto rickshaw drivers, the dissertation interrogates the interplay between the city's regularities and irregularities through the analytical lens of rhythm. Expectancy not only engenders violent land grabs, slum clearances and the creation of exclusive residential enclaves, but also myriad individual and collective aspirations in, with, and through the city – future wants for which people engage in often hard routinised labour in the present.

Mumbai: According to local media reports, Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) handled 380,384 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) of cargo in September 2020, which is 95 percent of the cargo handled during the same month a year ago. According to JNPT Chairman Sanjay Sethi, various initiatives such as direct port entry. internal terminal rail handling, along with the installation of scanners and a centralized parking plaza will make the port much more efficient as cargo volumes recover to pre-COVID levels. According to the All India Port Association, JNPT cargo volume dropped 22 percent during April-September to 26.94 million metric tons (MMT), compared to 34.41 MMT during the same period last year. Mumbai Port Trust cargo volume dropped 19 percent during April-September to 24.46 MMT, compared to 30.10 MMT during the same period last year. Overall, trade volumes for India’s top 12 state-run ports fell 14 percent during April-September to nearly 298.55 MMT, compared to 348.23 MMT during the same period last year.

  • Development of Sea Port at Tadadi, Karnataka
    DEVELOPMENT OF SEA PORT AT TADADI, KARNATAKA Karnataka, India - A Profile Karnataka, a State in the south of India, has been a pioneer state in industry with a distinction of a strong and vibrant industrial base. Karnataka is targeting an industrial growth rate of 12% per annum, with an increased emphasis on the expansion and growth of infrastructure sectors through private sector participation. Since ports are the trade gateways for a state, their ability to meet the increasing demands of a rapidly growing economy is crucial for addressing the rising import and export traffic. Currently there is one major port and two non-major ports that are operational in Karnataka. The major port at Mangalore, namely, New Mangalore Port Trust, currently caters to the cargo requirements of the southern districts of the state. Need for a Port on the West Coast Belekeri Tadadi The northern districts of the state, especially the Bellary–Hospet region produce large quantities of iron ore. The export potential of iron ore from this region is estimated at 30 million tones in 2010. Part of this iron ore is exported through the two non-major ports namely Karwar and Belekeri. However, bigger vessels cannot operate at these ports as the draft available is less. Further the capacity at these ports is also not adequate to cater to the iron ore export demand of this region. Thus, a port developed in the northern coastline of the state would cater to the districts of North Karnataka especially the iron-ore belt in Bellary - Hospet, thereby significantly improving the industrial advantage of the region.
