CHAPTER I. DESCRIPTION. The lands under tlie control of tlie Rewa Kantlia Political Agent Chapter I. lie between 21° 23' and 23° 33' north latitude and 73° 3' and 74° 18' Description. east longitude. With an extreme length from north to south of about 140 miles and a breadth from east to west varying from ten to fifty, the Rewa Kantha has an area bf about 4792 square miles, a population of over 500^000 souls or 110 to the square mile, and yields an estimated average yearly revenue of about £162,710 (Rs. 16,27,100). ' Besides lands stretching about fifty miles along the south bank Boundsriet, of the Rewa or Narbada, the Rewa Kdntha iucludes an irregular band of territory from ten to fifty miles broad, passing north from the Narbada about twelve miles beyond the Mahi, and to the west an isolated strip of land chiefly along the left bank of the Mahi. It is bounded on the north by the Meywd,r states of Dungarpur and Bansvada ; on the east by the sub-divisions of Jhalod and Dohad in the Panch Mahals, Ali Rajpur and other petty states of the Bhopavar Agency and a part of Khandesh; on the south by Gaikwar territory and the Mandvi sub-division of Surat ; and on the west by Anklesvar and Broach, by Gaikwar territory, by Godhra and Kalol in the Panch Mahals, by Thd,sra and Kapadvanj in Kaira, and by Parantij in Ahmedabad. The Pandu and Dorka Mehvas villages detached from the rest of the Agency lie chiefly along the left bank of the Mahi, between the Panch Mahals and Baroda territory on the east, and Kaira on the west. The Rewa Kantha Agency contains six large and fifty-five small Divisiona. states. Of the large states, one, Rajpipla in the south with an area of about 1574 square miles, is of the first class, and five, Ohhota TJdepur and Bariya in the centre, and Sunth, Lunavdda, and Balasiuor in the north and north-west, are second class states with areas varying from 400 to 875 square miles. The fifty-five small states, with an average area of about thirty square miles, include Kadana and Sanjeli in the north and three groups of Mehva^ or turbulent villages. Of the three Mehvas groups, Sankheda with an area of 311 square miles, comprising twenty- two petty estates, lies on the right bank of the Narbada, while the Pdndu Mehvas with an area of 138 square miles and twenty-two small estates, and the Dorka Mehvas nine square miles in extent with three estates, are situated on B 561—1 [Bombay Gazetteer, STATES. Chapter I. the borders of the Mahi. About one-fifth of the whole Eewa Kantha, Descriptiou. comprising nineteen states yielding a yearly revenue of about £30,000 (Rs. 3,00,000), is, on account of the minority of the chiefs Divisions. and from other causes, under the entire control of the Political Agent. Of the nineteen states under direct management, two Lunavada and Sunth are second class j the rest are small estates varying in area from four to 100 square miles. The following table shows the chief statistics of the different Rewa Kantha states :— Rewa Kdntha States, 1879. Aspect, Mountains. Giy'arfit.] EEWA Ki.NTHA. stretches west into Broach. On one of the highest peaks, Dev Chapter I. Satia about 2000 feet above the sea, are the ruins of old Description Eajpipla, where in troublous times the chief and his followers used MountaiiiB. to take refuge. The way up, diificult even for footmen, through thick forest and high elephant grass, winds round precipices and ugly ledges. There are still traces of the former capital and on Dev Satia immediately behind are the ruins of an old fort. From Dev Satia the view is wide and beautiful. To the east, ranges of hills rise in endless confusion, to the south the valley of the Karjan stretches through the central uplands, to the west the Narbada winds to the sea, and to the north lies the rich Gujarat plain with Pavagad on the horizon. Of the south Eajpipla hills the only spur that comes within Eewa Kantha limits has, unlike the northern range, sloping sides and flat tops. On the east of the Karjan river a ridge of hills stretches for twelve miles from north to south, and to the east of this again lies the Sagbara range 700 feet high, well wooded and flat topped, peopled by several small Bhil hamlets. The Vindhya spurs, that lying east and west cross the Centre of the district from Eatanmal to Pavagad, are steep about 800 feet high, their tops in some places flat, in others rising into peaks. In the range are several passes, two of them at Kadval in Udepur and near Sagtala in Bariya fit for carts. From Eatanmal northwards a chain of hills or more strictly a line of table-land from 800 to 1200 feet above the sea, the water-parting between the Mahi and the Anas, forms the boundary between the Eewa Kantha states of Bariya, Sanjeli and Sunth on the west, and the Panch Mahals districts of Dohad and Jhalod in the east. This table-land can in many places be crossed by carts. Besides the chief highway, that between Godhra and Dohad mounts the plateau about seven miles west of Dohad, roads run from Bariya, Sunth, and other Eewa Kantha towns to Dohad, Jhalod and Limdi. Between this table- land and the range of the Pavagad hills are many irregular branching timber-covered spurs, steep and high with jagged tops on the east, growing gradually lower as they pass west, and finally disappearing in the basin of the Mahi. To the north these spurs, more regular and unbroken, lying north and south parallel to each other in ranges separated by narrow valleys, form a link between the Aravali and Vindhya mountains. Occasionally the traveller may go for miles along the hill foot without finding an opening, and in some parts in moving from one village to another has to make long detours. Separated by the central line of the Eatanmal and Pavagad hills, Riven. are two distinct river systems, the Mahi with its tributary the Panam in the north, and in the south the Narbada joined from the right bank by the Men Asvau Heran and Or or Orsang, and on the left by the Karjan. Entering the district in the extreme north-east corner, the Mahi The Mahi, passes south-west for about 120 miles through Kadana, Lunavada, and the Pandu Mehvas.

  • Chapter 2. Regional Geology and Previous Work 2.1 General
    P a g e | 7 Chapter 2. Regional Geology and Previous work 2.1 General Precambrian rocks of the north-western India viz. parts of southern Rajasthan and north-eastern Gujarat categorized under Aravalli Mountain Belt (AMB), mainly comprises three important Proterozoic supracrustals, differentiated on the basis of depositional environment and tectono-magmatic events. These rocks encompass 1. The Bhilwara having an age more than 2500 Ma. 2. The Aravalli within time frame of 2500-2000 Ma. 3. The Delhi which ranges up to the time frame of 700 Ma. The meta- sediments and associated intrusive as well as extrusive igneous phases corresponding to these three Proterozoic sequences have been designated as the Bhilwara, the Aravalli and the Delhi Supergroups. These three Supergroups are further classified to several Groups and Formations (Gupta et al., 1980; 1992; 1995; 1997). The Bhilwara Supergroup is flanked by the Aravalli and Delhi Supergroup of rocks at the south- west and north-east part of the Aravalli Mountain Belt (AMB) respectively (Fig. 2.1), and is found to be separated by an erosional unconformity. The crescent shaped outline of Bhilwara Supergroup extends for about 400 km from Deyi in the northeast till Pipalkhunt in the south. The generalized strike trend varies from north to south like NE-SW near Hindoli area, N-S near Chittorgarh and finally attends NW- SE at the southern extremity. The grade of metamorphism increases from greenschist facies near Hindoli area in the east to granulite facies at Sandmata region in the west. The northern extremity of the Aravalli supracrustals lies near Kankroli area and is exposed over 350 km till Champaner in the south.

  • 1. RAJKOT the Struggle in Rajkot Has a Personal Touch About It for Me
    1. RAJKOT The struggle in Rajkot has a personal touch about it for me. It was the place where I received all my education up to the matricul- ation examination and where my father was Dewan for many years. My wife feels so much about the sufferings of the people that though she is as old as I am and much less able than myself to brave such hardships as may be attendant upon jail life, she feels she must go to Rajkot. And before this is in print she might have gone there.1 But I want to take a detached view of the struggle. Sardar’s statement 2, reproduced elsewhere, is a legal document in the sense that it has not a superfluous word in it and contains nothing that cannot be supported by unimpeachable evidence most of which is based on written records which are attached to it as appendices. It furnishes evidence of a cold-blooded breach of a solemn covenant entered into between the Rajkot Ruler and his people.3 And the breach has been committed at the instance and bidding of the British Resident 4 who is directly linked with the Viceroy. To the covenant a British Dewan5 was party. His boast was that he represented British authority. He had expected to rule the Ruler. He was therefore no fool to fall into the Sardar’s trap. Therefore, the covenant was not an extortion from an imbecile ruler. The British Resident detested the Congress and the Sardar for the crime of saving the Thakore Saheb from bankruptcy and, probably, loss of his gadi.

More than 3,000 caste communities and 700 tribal communities inhabit different states and union territories. Not confined to a particular territory, they are spread in different ecological, geographical and cultural zones. The tribal communities in India are classified on the basis of: racial features, economy, language and geography. Except for a few cases, there exists a diversity in customs and traditions of tribes, and these are transmitted orally from one generation to another. Forests are the home to tribal people. Their socio-cultural life is mostly woven around nature; they are intimately connected with forest ecology. Forests provide the source and means of survival. These tribals have been living in forests for ages and have an affinity to forests. The tribals know how to live in harmony with * Contributed by Dr. D.V. Prasad.
