D_epa~tmeru of History llmverslty of North Bnzgal Darjeeling (W. 8. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The study titled "The Kamarupa Anusandhan Samiti in Historical Perspectives (1912 A.D.-1993 A.D.)" is the outcome of my research work to be submitted for Ph.D. degree of the University of North Bengal, Raja Rammohanpur, Dist. Darjeeling (West Bengal). The present work is a study with micro level approaches which neither demands full credit for new discoveries nor is a major break-through in the study of history of "Kamarupa Anusandhan Samiti in Historical Perspectives". It is a humble attempt to re-search the comprehensive history of the institution, which in some points is fully introductory in nature and shows some scope of study in future. Constructive criticism in this respect is always welcome. Owing to some technicalities it was found in convenient to provide the diacritical marks to the old terms and names used in this work. Such terms/names with diacritical marks are shown in a list after the List of the Tables. • A research work is an open ended academic voyage. A collective effort is always working as an inspiring factor behind the culmination of a positive result of the voyage. Therefore, one should acknowledge the support and assistance received at the different levels in course of the study. I have no words to express my deep gratitude and acknowledge my indebtness to my revered Guide and Supervisor Dr. I. Sarkar, Professor and former Head of the Department of History, University of North Bengal, Raja Rammohanpur, for his constant encouragement and able guidance and supervision all throughout the execution of the present work. I am also thankful to all the faculty members of the department of History of the same university for providing me necessary help and assistance. It is my pleasure to thank the President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Kamarupa Anusandhan Samiti, Guwahati, for providing me the necessary materials for completion of the study. At the same time I am also grateful to the Director, Department of Historical and Antiquarian Studies, Guwahati, the Director, Assam State Museum, and the Director, Assam State Archives for allowing me to make use of the materials at their disposal for my study. I received immense help from the staff of National Archives of India, New Delhi, National Library, Kolkata, Library of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Kolkata, Goethal Library, Kolkata, Granthagar (Central library) of University of North Bengal, K.K.

FOREWORD I have much pleasure in introducing the Lohit Distri<^ Gazetteer, the first of a series of District Gazetteers proposed to be brought out by the Government of Arunachal Pradesh. A'Gazetteer is a repository of care­ fully collected and systematically collated information on a wide range of subjects pertaining to a particular area. These information are of con­ siderable importance and interest. Since independence, Arunachal Pra­ desh has been making steady progress in various spheres. This north-east frontier comer of the country has, during these years, witnessed tremen­ dous changes in social, economic, political and cultural spheres. These changes are reflected in die Gazetteers. 1 hope that as a reflex of these changes, the Lohit District Gazetteer would prove to be quite useful not only to the administrators but also to researdi schplars and all those who are keen to know in detail about one of the districts of Arunachal Pradesh.

  • Indian Archaeology, Epigraphy and Ancient History ABSTRACTS
    IIT Gandhinagar, August 23-24, 2012 Workshop on Indian Archaeology, Epigraphy and Ancient History ABSTRACTS Dr Shanti Pappu Prehistoric Archaeology in India: Introducing Key Issues and Future Prospects This paper presents an overview of recent issues and debates in the study of prehistoric archaeology. We present a brief overview of Indian prehistory in the context of recent studies and questions topics related to early hominin dispersals, lithic technology, palaeoenvironments and behavioural variability of populations, over a period beginning around 2 million years ago. We then situate our recent research along the southeast coast of India (Tamil Nadu), in this perspective. Our multidisciplinary approach aims at investigating the nature of prehistoric sites in this region, establishing a chronology, and examining how populations adapted to past environmental changes. We present an overview of recent aspects of our research including excavations at Attirampakkam, palaeoenvironments at this site, implications of recent attempts to date the site, and lithic technology, use of satellite remote sensing and GIS and digital technology in prehistory. We discuss future directions which prehistoric archaeology in India should take to situate it on par with studies being conducted elsewhere in the world, and ways in which collaborate research with other institutes of science and technology, may aid in establishing new directions for this subject. Since 2000, Dr Shanti Pappu has conducted excavations at the Palaeolithic site of Attirampakkam, Tamil Nadu. She is founder‐secretary, Sharma Centre for Heritage Education, Chennai, and joint editor of Man and Environment, journal of the Indian Society for Prehistoric and Quaternary Studies, Pune. She has published two books and more than 20 research publications in peer‐reviewed national and international journals, as also one children’s book and popular articles.

    Tradition and Transformation: On the basis of Celebrated Festivals in Guwahati PJAEE, 17 (7) (2020) Tradition and Transformation: On the basis of Celebrated Festivals in Guwahati Tutumoni Das Department of Assamese, Gauhati University, Guwahati, Assam, India Email: [email protected] Tutumoni Das: Tradition and Transformation: On the basis of Celebrated Festivals in Guwahati -- Palarch’s Journal Of Archaeology Of Egypt/Egyptology 17(7). ISSN 1567- 214x Keywords: Tradition, Transformation, Festival celebrated in Guwahati ABSTRACT Human’s trained and proficient works give birth to a culture. The national image of a nation emerges through culture. In the beginning people used to express their joy of farming by singing and dancing. The ceremony of religious conduct was set up at the ceremony of these. In the course of such festivals that were prevalent among the people, folk cultures were converted into festivals. These folk festivals are traditionally celebrated in the human society. Traditionally celebrated festivals take the national form as soon as they get status of formality. In the same territory, the appearance of the festival sits different from time to time. The various festivals that have traditionally come into being under the controls of change are now seen taking under look. Especially in the city of Guwahati in the state of Assam, various festivals do not have the traditional rituals but are replaced by modernity. As a result, many festivals are celebrated under the concept of to observe. Therefore, our research paper focuses on this issue and tries to analyze in the festival celebrated in Guwahati. 1. Introduction A festival means delight, being gained and an artistic creation.

    Class - VIII AGRICULTURE OF ASSAM Agriculture forms the backbone of the economy of Assam. About 65 % of the total working force is engaged in agriculture and allied activities. It is observed that about half of the total income of the state of Assam comes from the agricultural sector. Fig 2.1: Pictures showing agricultural practices in Assam MAIN FEATURES OF AGRICULTURE Assam has a mere 2.4 % of the land area of India, yet supports more than 2.6 % of the population of India. The physical features including soil, rainfall and temperature in Assam in general are suitable for cultivation of paddy crops which occupies 65 % of the total cropped area. The other crops are wheat, pulses and oil seeds. Major cash crops are tea, jute, sugarcane, mesta and horticulture crops. Some of the crops like rice, wheat, oil seeds, tea , fruits etc provide raw material for some local industries such as rice milling, flour milling, oil pressing, tea manufacturing, jute industry and fruit preservation and canning industries.. Thus agriculture provides livelihood to a large population of Assam. AGRICULTURE AND LAND USE For the purpose of land utilization, the areas of Assam are divided under ten headings namely forest, land put to non-agricultural uses, barren and uncultivable land, permanent pastures and other grazing land, cultivable waste land, current fallow, other than current fallow net sown area and area sown more than once. 72 Fig 2.2: Major crops and their distribution The state is delineated into six broad agro-climatic regions namely upper north bank Brahmaputra valley, upper south bank Brahmaputra valley, Central Assam valley, Lower Assam valley, Barak plain and the hilly region.
