Kurt and Khyne U Mar Institut für Haustierkunde, Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel, Kiel, Germany and Myanmar Timber Enterprise, Yangon, Myanmar (Burma) Receipt of Ms. 08. 11. 1995 Acceptance of Ms. 24. Ol. 1996 Abstract One third of Asian elephants born in European zoos and circusses are stillborn (16.0%) or killed or re- fused by their mothers (15.7%). Stillbirths and infanticides are rare in extensively kept and wild-living elephants. Infanticide could be related to life history of the mothers: Females which had grown up in the Company of an older, motherly female adopted their offsprings without complications. Those having lacked such affection, tended to kill or at least not to adopt their neonates. Stillborn calves show higher neonate weights (124.6 ± 20.8 kg) than surviving calves (92.0 ± 27.6 kg). Positive correlations were found between gestation period and neonate weight as well as between neonate weight and relative weight (body weight/shoulder height) of the mother. As female elephants in modern zoos and circusses are relatively heavier than those living in Asian camps, they produce calves after longer gestation peri- ods (644.4 ± 19.5 days) with larger neonate weights (105.6 ± 26.6 kg) than extensively kept females in Asia (598.1 ±51.6 days; 74.0 ± 21.6 kg). Chances to survive parturition are negatively correlated with lenght of gestation and neonate weight.

The rule of Kadambas, the Chalukyas, Gangas, Rashtrakutas, Hoysalas, Vijayanagar rulers, the Bahamanis of Gulbarga and Bidar, Adilshahis of Bijapur, Mysore Wodeyars, the Keladi rulers, Haider Ali and Tipu Sultan and the rule of British Commissioners have left behind Forts, Magnificient Palaces, Temples, Mosques, Churches and beautiful works of art and architecture in Karnataka. The fauna and flora, the National parks, the animal and bird sanctuaries provide a sight of wild animals like elephants, tigers, bisons, deers, black bucks, peacocks and many species in their natural habitat. A rich variety of flora like: aromatic sandalwood, pipal and banyan trees are abundantly available in the State. The river Cauvery, Tunga, Krishna, Kapila – enrich the soil of the land and contribute to the State’s agricultural prosperity. The water falls created by the rivers are a feast to the eyes of the outlookers. Historical bakground: Karnataka is a land with rich historical past. It has many pre-historic sites and most of them are in the river valleys. The pre-historic culture of Karnataka is quite distinct from the pre- historic culture of North India, which may be compared with that existed in Africa. 1 Parts of Karnataka were subject to the rule of the Nandas, Mauryas and the Shatavahanas; Chandragupta Maurya (either Chandragupta I or Sannati Chandragupta Asoka’s grandson) is believed to have visited Sravanabelagola and spent his last years in this place.

  • CHAPTER 2 the District of Dharwad Has Played a Pre-Eminent Role In
    38 Dharwad District CHAPTER 2 HISTORY he district of Dharwad has played a pre-eminent role in the history of Karnataka. It was the T core region of the major dynasties that ruled in Karnataka such as the Badami Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, Kalyana Chalukyas and the Adilshahis of Bijapur. To establish their hegemony in the fertile region of Belvola-300, there have been pitched battles between the Seunas and the Hoysalas. Whenever Marathas invaded the South, they made use of the district as the highway. As the hinterland growing cotton, Hubli (Rayara Hubli or Old Hubli) was a major industrial centre. When the British in their early years of trade had founded a factory at Kadwad on the banks of the Kali, the supply of textile to the factory was through old Hubli. There was a land route from Hubli to Kadra, the higher point of the Kali (till which the river was navigable) and it was through this route that merchandise from Dharwad, Bijapur and Raichur was transported. Products of thousands of textile looms from Dharwad, Bijapur and Raichur could reach the port through Hubli. In the south, Haveri and Byadgi had communication with the Kumta port. Chilly cultivation introduced into India by the Portuguese was raised here and after the British took over, transportation of cotton and chillies was made through Kumta from Byadgi and Haveri. Haveri was the main centre of cardamom processing and for final transport to Kumta. Byadgi chilly earned the name Kumta chilly due to its export from Kumta port. In England Kumta cotton was a recognised variety though it came from the Dharwad region.

  • History and Biology of Traditional Elephant Management by Fred Kurt
    First European Elephant Management School Nov. 2005. 1 Fred Kurt: History and Biology of Traditional Elephant Management HISTORY AND BIOLOGY OF TRADIT IONAL ELEPHANT MANAGEMENT FRED KURT 1. The first centres and the dispersion of elephant cultures 1.1. Definition of elephant cultures Elephant cultures base on traditions of people professionally engaged with different aspects of capturing, taming and working with Asian elephants. These elephant people belong to several professions or casts like catchers, trainers, riders, rope makers or collectors of medical plants. The elephant cultures evolved in tribal societies and melted with feudalistic systems. Their religious background roots in animistic as well as Buddhist and Hindu believes. Elephants were considered as totem. Accordingly killing and capturing them was taboo. However, the taboo could be lifted for limited periods by religious ceremonies, and the elephant men had to change fundamentally their lives during these periods (e.g. no contacts with women, only vegetarian meals, adopting a secret language). Elephant cultures rely on historical founders (e.g. Kalapytiya the authors of the most ancient manual on capture and keeping of elephants). Within their casts elephant people made well defined careers, e.g. from food cutter to chief of the capturing operation. 1.2. The dispersion of elephant cultures in South and Southeast Asia 1.3. Differences between South and Southeast Asian traditions Elephant cultures in South and Southeast Asia can be distinguished by the methods of capturing (see later) breaking or riding (picture left). They influenced each other, e.g. Cambodia and Peninsular Malaysia “imported” the style of riding from India.

    Chamaraja Wodeyar X. Dr. B. R. AMBEDKAR OPEN UNIVERSITY LIBRARY HYDERABAD-500 033 Dr. B.R. AMBEDKAR OPEN UNIVERSITY LIBRARY CallNo. H Accession No. Author: Title This book should be returned on or before the date last marked below. DEDICATED to the revered memory of CHAMARAJA WODEYAR X. Maharaja of Mysore, who first made ihe experiment of a constitutional form of Government for an Indian State a success, and in the hands of whose son HIS HIGHNESS KRISHNARAJA WODEYAR IV. the present MAHARAJA, it has received great development. PREFACE. In this volume is comprehended the story of modern Mysore from 1868 to the present time. If Bowring came hack to life and took a survey of Mysore, it would not be far from truth to say that he would find the Mysore Administration developed more largely on the British model than when he left the country. Similarly, if Sir James Gordon revisited the earth, he would find that what was regarded in his time as only an experiment in constitutional government in the hands of Indians is no more so, but has practically established itself as a successful reality, though not in the exact form generally associated with it in other countries. It is ' ' true that the expression Constitutional Government has not the same meaning in Mysore as it has, for instance, in England. This constitutional government in Mysore cannot be attributed to any struggle between the sovereigns of the country and its people, but is the outcome of a spontaneous desire on the part of Chamaraja Wodeyar X, the first Ruler of Mysore after the Rendition in 1881, and of his son and successor the present Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, to share the responsibilities of government with the people of the State.
