  • Aspects of Gond Astronomy
    Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage, 16(1), 29-44 (2013). ASPECTS OF GOND ASTRONOMY M.N. Vahia Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Homi Bhaba Road, Colaba, Mumbai 400 005, India. Email: [email protected] and Ganesh Halkare Indrayani Colony, Amravati, 444 607, India. Abstact: The Gond community is considered to be one of the most ancient tribes of India with a continuing history of several thousand years. They are also known for their largely isolated history which they have retained through the millennia. Several of their intellectual traditions therefore are a record of parallel aspects of human intellectual growth, and still preserve their original flavour and have not been homogenised by the later traditions of India. In view of this, the Gonds provide a special window to the different currents that constitute contemporary India. In the present study, we summarise their mythology, genetics and script. We then investigate their astronomical traditions and try to understand this community through a survey of 15 Gond villages spread over Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. We show that they have a distinctly different view of the sky from the conventional astronomical ideas encountered elsewhere in India, which is both interesting and informative. We briefly comment on other aspects of their life as culled from our encounters with different members of the Gond community. Keywords: India, Gonds, indigenous astronomy. 1 INTRODUCTION and were its primary rulers from AD 1300 to 1600 (Deogaonkar, 2007: 34-55).

  • Understanding the Effectiveness of Access to Khas Land: Comparing Khas Land Receivers to Non-Receivers
    Uttaran –Shiree partnership Project (SEMPTI) Working paper # 24 Understanding the effectiveness of access to khas land: Comparing khas land receivers to Non-Receivers Author: Sk. Tariquzzaman and Sohel Rana Acknowledgement We would like to show our gratitude to Dr. Mathilde Maitrot, Research Officer of Bath University as this paper was reviewed under her extensive guidance. Special thanks to Professor Geof Wood and Joe Devine of CDS, University of Bath for their review and invaluable criticism, feedback and advice. We sincerely thank our Uttaran colleagues Bilkis Akhter, Alhaz Uddin, Abdus Sattar, Abdul Khaleque and Shahidul Islam who helped in managing field work, providing secondary data, sharing experiences and arguments. Thanks to Colin Risner, Kira Galbraith and Sally Faulkner of shiree for their assistance and comments. Finally and most importantly, thanks to all the khasland receivers and non-receivers who took part in the movement and participated in the research and shared their time, knowledge and effort to make this study a success. Neither the acknowledged persons or Uttaran or shiree or DFID should be held responsible for the views or judgments expressed in this paper. 1 Abstract Recent poverty literature in Bangladesh suggests that one key method of poverty alleviation is to create working opportunities for the poorest or to help them to achieve the ownership of productive means. Uttaran, a national NGO has been particularly effective in its attempts to distribute both Khasland and assets to extreme poor households in an effort to move them out of extreme poverty. Distribution of khasland is assumed to boost national GDP as individual households should be able to expand their agricultural and industrial produce for sale in markets.
