Succession was by adoption. Its foundation is traced to a religious celibate, who came from the Punjab towards the end of the 18th century. From the founder it passed through a succession of chosen disciples until 1879, when the British government recognized the ruler as an hereditary chief and it came to be known as princely state of Raj Nandgaon. Afterwards conferred upon his son the title of Raja Bahadur. The first ruler Ghasi Das Mahant, was recognized as a feudal chief by the British government in 1865 and was granted a sanad of adoption.

  • Mahanadi River Basin
    The Forum and Its Work The Forum (Forum for Policy Dialogue on Water Conflicts in India) is a dynamic initiative of individuals and institutions that has been in existence for the last ten years. Initiated by a handful of organisations that had come together to document conflicts and supported by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), it has now more than 250 individuals and organisations attached to it. The Forum has completed two phases of its work, the first centring on documentation, which also saw the publication of ‘Water Conflicts in MAHANADI RIVER BASIN India: A Million Revolts in the Making’, and a second phase where conflict documentation, conflict resolution and prevention were the core activities. Presently, the Forum is in its third phase where the emphasis of on backstopping conflict resolution. Apart from the core activities like documentation, capacity building, dissemination and outreach, the Forum would be intensively involved in A Situation Analysis right to water and sanitation, agriculture and industrial water use, environmental flows in the context of river basin management and groundwater as part of its thematic work. The Right to water and sanitation component is funded by WaterAid India. Arghyam Trust, Bangalore, which also funded the second phase, continues its funding for the Forums work in its third phase. The Forum’s Vision The Forum believes that it is important to safeguard ecology and environment in general and water resources in particular while ensuring that the poor and the disadvantaged population in our country is assured of the water it needs for its basic living and livelihood needs.

  • Residential Schools for Children in LWE-Affected Areas of Chhattisgarh
    EDUCATION 2.3 Pota Cabins: Residential schools for children in LWE-affected areas of Chhattisgarh Pota Cabins is an innovative educational initiative for building schools with impermanent materials like bamboo and plywood in Chhattisgarh. The initiative has helped reduce the number of out-of-school children and improve enrolment and retention of children since its introduction in 2011. The number of out-of-school children in the 6-14 years age group reduced from 21,816 to 5,780 as the number of Pota Cabins rose from 17 to 43 within a year of the initiative. These residential schools help ensure continuity of education from primary to middle-class levels in Left Wing Extremism affected villages of Dantewada district, by providing children and their families a safe zone where they can continue their education in an environment free of fear and instability. Rationale Secondly, it would also draw children away from the remote and interior areas of villages that are more prone to Left Wing Extremists violence. As these schools are perceived The status of education in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh as places where children can receive adequate food and was abysmal. As per a 2005 report, the literacy rate of the education, they are often referred to Potacabins locally, as state stood at 30.2% against the state average of 64.7%.1 ‘pota’ means ‘stomach’ in the local Gondi language. The development deficit in the Dakshin Bastar area, which includes Dantewada district, has been largely attributed to the remoteness of villages, lack of proper infrastructure Objectives such as roads and bridges, and weak penetration of communication technology.

  • The “Bison Horn” Muria Making It “More Tribal” for a Folk Dance Competition in Bastar, Chhattisgarh
    NicOlas Prévôt University of Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense The “Bison Horn” Muria Making it “More Tribal” for a Folk Dance Competition in Bastar, Chhattisgarh This article examines the tribal stereotypes used in Bastar (Chhattisgarh) by some local institutions in their different representations and mise-en-scène of the ādivāsīs, the local authorities organizing “tribal” dance competitions, some local NGOs setting up workshops and selling “tribal handicrafts,” or the new government planning its tourism policy with perfectly arranged “tribal tours.” More specifically, it analyzes the aesthetic transformations of a Gond ritual into a dance competition promoted by the government. While the manipu- lation of symbols hides political strategies from some influential groups to incorporate or dissolve tribal people into the main (Hindu) society and aspire to a shared indigeneity, ādivāsīs also build their own image by appropriating the stereotypes projected on them through their musical performances. How- ever, they are torn between Hindu nationalists and Maoists and caught in the crossfire between the “security forces” and the guerrillas, overwhelmed by the huge industrial issues behind this gory crisis. keywOrds: stereotypes—ritual—dance—competition—Gond—Chhattisgarh Asian Ethnology Volume 73, Numbers 1–2 • 2014, 201–231 © Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture espite their central position, the state of Chhattisgarh and its southern dis- Dtricts of Bastar 1 and Dantewada are little known to Indian people except for their image of a backward tribal area highly affected by Naxalism (that is, the Mao- ist guerrillas). These districts are indeed inhabited by a majority of tribal people (ST, Scheduled Tribes) and local castes (SC, Scheduled Castes) that are consid- ered “indigenous.”2 Yet, since the second half of the nineteenth century, numerous other groups have migrated from all over India to settle into this kingdom of wild jungle, mostly as merchants and civil servants encouraged by the British to admin- istrate and “civilize” the country.

    Supplementary Appendix N 89 PRELIMINARY INDIGENOUS PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM A. Introduction 1. The Chhattisgarh State Road Development Project (the Project) is expected to contribute to the poverty reduction efforts of the Government of Chhattisgarh (GOC) through an institutional reform program for the Chhattisgarh Public Works Department (PWDGOC) and through improving state highways and major district roads, which will result in lower transport costs and improved transport services and accessibility. 2. This report is a preliminary Indigenous People’s Development Plan (IPDP) related to the improvements to the state highways and major district roads. It outlines the main social issues and development problems faced by scheduled tribes (ST) in Chhattisgarh with emphasis on the Project areas in the district of Dantewada. This report is based on community consultations, focus groups and surveys related to indigenous people. The findings and analysis of the participatory community consultations are needed to identify specific strategies and activities for incorporation into the IPDP. B. Preliminary Results 3. The State of Chhattisgarh was created by the Madhya Pradesh Reorganization Act of 2000. Total state population is 20.7 million (about 2% of India total) and it has a geographical area of 135,191 sq kms. It is the 9th largest state in India. Although considered one of the poorer states in India, Chhattisgarh is well endowed with resources that have yet to be exploited. Over 32% of the state’s population is tribal, classified as indigenous people. 4. There is considerable variation in access and isolation that contributes to the distribution of poverty in Chhattisgarh. The more accessible central districts have better access to resources and demonstrate significantly better social indictors.
