Forum of Federations 75 Albert Street, Suite 411 Ottawa, Ontario (Canada) K1P 5E7 Tel: (613) 244-3360 Fax: (613) 244-3372 [email protected] 3 States Reorganization and Accommodation of Ethno-Territorial Cleavages in India Overview What holds India, a vast multi-ethnic country, together in the midst of so many odds? The question is particularly significant because India’s unity and integrity has been possible despite democracy. The key to the above success lies in a mode of federation building that sought to continuously ‘right-size’ the territory of India. The method followed in doing so is called ‘states reorganization’ in India as a result of which ethno-territorial cleavages have been accommodated and regulated. The result has been durable ethnic peace and political stability. At independence (15 August 1947), India inherited nine provinces and over 560 princely states from the old colonial arrangements. An interim state structure was put in place, but it was recognized that a fundamental restructuring would be required in due course. The process was complex and painstaking but managed to create sub-national units called ‘states’, mostly on the basis of language; subsequently non-linguistic ethnic factors were also taken into consideration.

For the study of seasonal variation in inorganic content as well as physico chemical parameters, monitoring was done during summer, rainy and winter season year 2009 to 2011. The parameters like temperature, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO) biochemical oxygen demond (BOD), chemical oxygen demond (COD), nitrate, nitrite, chloride, sulphate, phosphate and heavy metals for water analysis and soil temperature, pH, O.C (organic carbon), total nitrogen, phosphorus, exchangeable cation (Na +, K +, Ca ++ , Mg ++ ) and heavy metals for soil analysis have been studied. The study revealed that the water sources in the area are heavily polluted. The heavy metals concentration were found more than the permissible limits during all the seasons. Most of these parameters are correlated with one another.

INTRODUCTION Chhatarpur was founded in 1785 and is named after the Bundela Rajput leader Chhatrasal, the founder of Bundelkhand independence, and contains his cenotaph. The state was ruled by his descendants until 1785. At that time the Ponwar clan of the Rajputs took control of Chhatarpur. The state was guaranteed to Kunwar Sone Singh Ponwar in 1806 by the British Raj. In 1854 Chhatarpur would have lapsed to the British government for want of direct heirs under the doctrine of lapse, but was conferred on Jagat Raj as a special act of grace. The Ponwar Rajas ruled a princely state with an area of 1,118 square miles (2,900 km2), and population of 156,139 in 1901, which was part of the Bundelkhand agency of Central India. In 1901 the town of Chhatarpur had a population of 10,029, a high school and manufactured paper and coarse cutlery. The state also contained the British cantonment of Nowgong. After the independence of India in 1947, the Rajas of Chhatarpur acceded to India, and Chhatarpur, together with the rest of Bundelkhand, became part of the Indian state of Vindhya Pradesh.
