AMBEDKAR OPEN UNIVERSITY LIBRARY CallNo. H Accession No. Author: Title This book should be returned on or before the date last marked below. DEDICATED to the revered memory of CHAMARAJA WODEYAR X. Maharaja of Mysore, who first made ihe experiment of a constitutional form of Government for an Indian State a success, and in the hands of whose son HIS HIGHNESS KRISHNARAJA WODEYAR IV. the present MAHARAJA, it has received great development. PREFACE. In this volume is comprehended the story of modern Mysore from 1868 to the present time. If Bowring came hack to life and took a survey of Mysore, it would not be far from truth to say that he would find the Mysore Administration developed more largely on the British model than when he left the country. Similarly, if Sir James Gordon revisited the earth, he would find that what was regarded in his time as only an experiment in constitutional government in the hands of Indians is no more so, but has practically established itself as a successful reality, though not in the exact form generally associated with it in other countries. It is ' ' true that the expression Constitutional Government has not the same meaning in Mysore as it has, for instance, in England. This constitutional government in Mysore cannot be attributed to any struggle between the sovereigns of the country and its people, but is the outcome of a spontaneous desire on the part of Chamaraja Wodeyar X, the first Ruler of Mysore after the Rendition in 1881, and of his son and successor the present Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, to share the responsibilities of government with the people of the State. Whether in taxation or legislation or in any important administrative measure, the people may be said to possess an effective voice to influence the final decisions of Government. Rarely are the wishes of the representatives of the people as expressed in the two constitutional assemblies the Representative Assembly and the Legislative Council are overriden, unless the ministers of the Maharaja can place a clearly convincing case before His Highness. The ministers themselves being generally the inhabitants of the State and being affected by the operations of any measure that may be introduced in the same manner as the rest of the people, few occasions arise for radical differences of opinion between them and the people to cause embarrassment to the sovereign who, in the existing political circumstances of the country, cannot divest himself of the final voice with which he is invested, A perusal of the chapters of this volume will confirm the truth of this statement. These happy results, it must be acknowledged, are as much due to the care bestowed on and the solicitude evinced in the imparting of suitable education and proper political training to their wards Chamaraja Wodeyar X and Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV by the British Government during the period of their minority, as to the naturally good instincts possessed by these two rulers. It may also be noted that the value of the experiment of a constitutional form of government in Mysore transcends the limits of the State, as the hope expressed by the Government of India that such a form of government, if successful, would serve as a model for other Indian States may be said to have been substantially realised. In conclusion, I repeat my obligations to all those whose names have been mentioned in the previous volume Sir Mirza Ismail and Messrs. Ranganatha Rao Sahib, T. V. A. Iswaran, N. Madhava Rao, A. V. Ramanathan, T. R. A. Thumboo Chetty, B. T. Kesava lyengar, R. Ranga Rao, M. Seshadri, M. Rama Rao, H. V. Ramaswamy, A, K. Syed Taj Peeran, K. Mylari Rao, Amildar K. Seshagiri Rao as well as to C. M. Cariapa and C. E. Noronha. In the preparation of this volume also, I have to repeat that my obligations are due to my assistant Mr. B. M. Gopala Rao, B.A. (Hons.), for the very valuable help he has given me. Messrs. Higginbothams are again entitled to my thanks for their neat execution of this volume also. BANGALORE, M. SHAMA RAO.

  • Bhadra Voluntary Relocation India
    BHADRA VOLUNTARY RELOCATION INDIA INDIA FOREWORD During my tenure as Director Project Tiger in the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Govt. of India, I had the privilege of participating in voluntary relocation of villages from Bhadra Tiger Reserve. As nearly two decades have passed, whatever is written below is from my memory only. Mr Yatish Kumar was the Field Director of Bhadra Tiger Reserve and Mr Gopalakrishne Gowda was the Collector of Chikmagalur District of Karnataka during voluntary relocation in Bhadra Tiger Reserve. This Sanctuary was notified as a Tiger Reserve in the year 1998. After the notification as tiger reserve, it was necessary to relocate the existing villages as the entire population with their cattle were dependent on the Tiger Reserve. The area which I saw in the year 1998 was very rich in flora and fauna. Excellent bamboo forests were available but it had fire hazard too because of the presence of villagers and their cattle. Tiger population was estimated by Dr. Ullas Karanth and his love for this area was due to highly rich biodiversity. Ultimately, resulted in relocation of all the villages from within the reserve. Dr Karanth, a devoted biologist was a close friend of mine and during his visit to Delhi he proposed relocation of villages. As the Director of Project Tiger, I was looking at voluntary relocation of villages for tribals only from inside Tiger Reserve by de-notifying suitable areas of forests for relocation, but in this case the villagers were to be relocated by purchasing a revenue land which was very expensive.

    THE DECISIONS or THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES AT •IANUARY TERM 1831. THE CHrtoKnE NATION VS. THE STATn Op GEORGIA. Motion for an injunction to prevent the execution of certain acts of the legisla- ture df the state of Georgia in the territory of the Cherokee nation of Indians, on behalf of the Cherokee nation; they claiming to proceed in the supreme court of the United States as a foreign st;'te against the state of Georgia; under the provision of the constitution of the United States, which gives to the court jurisdiction in controversies in which a state of the United States. or the citizens thereof, and a foreign state, citizens, or subjects thereof, are parties. The Cherokee nation is not a foreign state, in the sense in which the term "foreign state" is used in the constitution of the United States. The third article of the constitution of the United States describes the extent of the judicial power. The second section'closes an enumeration of the cases to which it extends, with "controversies between a state or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects," A subsequent clause of the same section gives the supreme court original jurisdiction in all cases in which a state shall be a party-the state of Georgia may then certainly be sued in this court. The Cherokees are a state. They have been uniformly treated as a state since the settlement of our country. The numerois treaties made with them by the United States recognize them as a people capable of maintaining the relations.

  • Engineers in India: Industrialisation, Indianisation and the State, 1900-47
    Engineers in India: Industrialisation, Indianisation and the State, 1900-47 A P A R A J I T H R AMNATH July 2012 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Imperial College London Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine DECLARATION This thesis represents my own work. Where the work of others is mentioned, it is duly referenced and acknowledged as such. APARAJITH RAMNATH Chennai, India 30 July 2012 2 ABSTRACT This thesis offers a collective portrait of an important group of scientific and technical practitioners in India from 1900 to 1947: professional engineers. It focuses on engineers working in three key sectors: public works, railways and private industry. Based on a range of little-used sources, it charts the evolution of the profession in terms of the composition, training, employment patterns and work culture of its members. The thesis argues that changes in the profession were both caused by and contributed to two important, contested transformations in interwar Indian society: the growth of large-scale private industry (industrialisation), and the increasing proportion of ‘native’ Indians in government services and private firms (Indianisation). Engineers in the public works and railways played a crucial role as officers of the colonial state, as revealed by debates on Indianisation in these sectors. Engineers also enabled the emergence of large industrial enterprises, which in turn impacted the profession. Previously dominated by expatriate government engineers, the profession expanded, was considerably Indianised, and diversified to include industrial experts. Whereas the profession was initially oriented towards the imperial metropolis, a nascent Indian identity emerged in the interwar period.
