I AREA, HOUSES AND POPULATION Vol1!me III of the Census of India 1941, dealt with Bombay Province (including States) as constituted at the time of the 1941 Census. The number of units for which figures were given in the tables in the volume was 113. During the decade 1941-51, many territorial changes affecting the boundaries of the various divisions and districts of the former Bombay Province took place. The States of Bombay, Saurashtra and Kutch as at present constituted were formed out of the following areas :- Sta.te Area.s included in or excluded from Bombay The twenty districts of the former Province of Bombay, the form.er agencies of tbe Gujarat States and Deccan Statile. the Sabarkantha Agency (Banas and Sadra Divisions) of the former Western India States Ageucy, the former Indian States of Baroda, Idar, Radhanpur, Vijaynagar, Palanpur and Danta, Abu district and Abu Road and Dilwara Tehsils of the former Sirohi State, and the enclave villages of Rajasthan, . Saurashtra and Hyderabad transferred to Bombay, less the enclave villages of Bombay transferred to Rajasthan, Saurashtra and Hyderabad. • Saurashtra The former Western India Jjtates Agency excluding Sabar- kantha Agency (Banas and Sadra Divisions) and the former Indian States of Idar, Radhanpur and Vijaynagar and Adhoi Mahal of the former Morvi State, and the enclave villages of Bombay transferred to Saurashtra, less the enclave villages of Saurashtra trans1'erred to Bombay. Kutch The former Indian State of Kutch and Adhoi Mahal of the former Morvi State. Within the State of Bombay the combined district of Broach and Panch Mahalg was again split into its two component parts, and eight new districts were formed. The boundaries of most of the remaining districts were also enlarged, or otherwise affected because of the merger of the former Indian States and the transfer of enclave and other villages. The result was that at the time of the ].951 Census, there were twenty-eight districts (treatmg Greater Bombay, which compri,>es the old Bombay City and the Bombay Suburban District as one district). In the newly created State of Saurashtra, five districts were formed. Kutch consisted of only one district. Details about the constitution of districts are given at the beginn,ing of the A-II Table. In this an~ the subsequent tables, figures have been shown for natural divisioll;S and distriots ill the States of Bombay, Saurashtra and Kutch. The States of SalL.""aShtra. an,d Kutch o04Stitute separate ll,atLiIal qi"iBioD,S Ly themselves. ~Q.n :Jjk H 90-1~ 2 , Bombay State ha\ been treated for census purposes as comprising the na,+,ural divisions shown below :_ n Natural division Names of districts included'in the natUral divisioll (1) Greater Bombay Greater Bombay.

  • Sir Creek: the Origin and Development of the Dispute Between Pakistan and India
    IPRI Journal 1 SIR CREEK: THE ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE DISPUTE BETWEEN PAKISTAN AND INDIA Dr Rashid Ahmad Khan∗ ir Creek is one of the eight long-standing bilateral disputes between Pakistan and India that the two countries are trying to resolve under S the ongoing composite dialogue process. It is a dispute over a 96 km (60 miles) long strip of water in the Rann of Kutch marshlands of the River Indus, along the border between the Sindh province of southern part of Pakistan and the state of Rajasthan in India. For the last about 40 years, the two countries have been trying to resolve this row through talks. Although, like other bilateral issues between Pakistan and India, the row over Sir Creek, too, awaits a final solution, this is the only area where the two countries have moved much closer to the resolution of the dispute. Following a meeting between the foreign ministers of Pakistan and India on the sidelines of 14th SAARC Summit in New Delhi, an Indian official announced that the two countries had agreed on a common map of Sir Creek, after the completion of joint survey agreed last year. “W e have one common map of the area, from which we will now work and try and see how far we can take this issue to a resolution, hopefully,” declared the Indian Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon after Foreign Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri, met his Indian counterpart, Mr. Pranab Mukherji in New Delhi on 2 April 2007.1 W hile discussing the prospects of the resolution of this issue in the light of past negotiations between the two countries, this paper aims to examine the implications of the resolution of this issue for the ongoing peace process between Pakistan and India.

    Malli Gandhi ENDANGERMENT OF LANGUAGE AMONG THE YERUKULA: A NOMADIC / DENOTIFIED TRIBE OF ANDHRA PRADESH The scheduled tribes, nomadic and denotified tribes constitute a major segment of population in Andhra Pradesh. They live in remote areas of the state and need special focus to solve their problems. Jatapu, Konda Dora, Muka Dora, Manne Dora, Savara, Gadaba, Chenchu, Koya, Gondi are some of the major primitive tribal groups of Andhra Pradesh. In addition there are Dasari, Yerukula, Yanadi, Sugali, Korawa, Koracha, Kaidai and Nakkala as some of the denotified tribes in Andhra Pradesh. Further, Woddera, Pamula, Nirshikari, Budabukkala, Mandula, Pusala, Gangi, Reddula, Boya, Dommara, Jogi are some of the nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes. Andhra Pradesh has 52 lakhs scheduled tribe population (2001 census). The largest tribal population is found in Khammam district (26.47% that is 682617 – 6.8 lakhs), followed by Visakapatnam district (5.58 lakhs). The tribal population of Andhra Pradesh increased from 7.67 to 52 lakhs in 50 years between 1951 and 2001. The substantial population increase between 1971 and 2001 was because of the recognition of the Sugali, Yerukula, Yanadi, Nakkala and other denotified, nomadic tribes as scheduled tribes in the entire state. The tribal communities in the state of Andhra Pradesh mostly exhibited Proto-Austroloid features. Chenchus and Yanadis exhibit some Negrito strain whereas the Khond and Savara have Mongoloid features. The tribal communities in Andhra Pradesh mainly belong to three linguistic families such as: Dravidian language family (Gondi, Koya, Kolami, Yerukula, and so on); Mundari language family (Savra, Godaba, and so on); Indo-Aryan language family (Banjara, and others).

Ð This paper critically examines some narratives of water scarcity in Kutch, western India. It argues that images of dwindling rainfall and increasing drought largely serve to legitimize the controversial Sardar Sarovar dam and manufacture dominant perceptions concerning scarcity. This manufacture has naturalized scarcity in the region and largely bene®ts powerful actors such as politicians, industrialists and large farmers. But the needs of the poor in water-limited areas are neglected. By exploring the various connotations of scarcity, the paper argues that scarcity is both a biophysical phenomenon as well as a powerful discursive construct. By distinguishing between the ``real'' and ``manufactured'' aspects of water scarcity, the paper attempts to enhance understand- ings of environmental change at the local level.
