New Delhi SUMITRA MAHAJAN 14 December, 2006 CHAIRPERSON, 23 Agrahayana, 1928 (Saka) Standing Committee on Social Justice and Empowerment. CHAPTER I INTRODUCTORY 1.1 The Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2006 was introduced in the Lok Sabha on 31 June, 2006. The Bill was referred to the Standing Committee on Social Justice and Empowerment on 28 August, 2006 for examination and report thereon. A copy of the Bill as introduced in Lok Sabha is appended (Annexure I). The Bill seeks the achieve the following objectives: (i) inclusion of new castes based on social, educational and economic backwardness; (ii) inclusion of synonymous communities in respect of a caste in the existing list; and (iii) Modifications or imposition of area restrictions in the existing entries. 1.2 The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment have informed the Committee that Article 366(24) of the Constitution defined ‘Scheduled Castes’ as “such castes, races or tribes or parts of or groups within such castes, races or tribes as are deemed under article 341 to be Scheduled Castes for the purpose of the Constitution.” The test applied for inclusion in the list of Scheduled Castes is “extreme social, educational and economic backwardness arising out of traditional practice of untouchability.” 1.3 Clause (1) of Article 341 of the Constitution provides that “The President may with respect to any State or Union Territory and where it is a State after consultation with the Governor thereof, by public notification, specify the castes, races or tribes or parts of or groups within castes, races or tribes which shall, for the purposes of the Constitution, be deemed to be Scheduled Castes in relation to that State or Union Territory, as the case may be. As per the said provision, following Orders were issued: (i) The Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order 1950 (Appendix I). (ii) The Constitution (Scheduled Castes) (Union Territories) Order, 1951(Appendix II). (iii) The Constitution (Jammu & Kashmir) Scheduled Castes Order, 1956 (Appendix III). (iv) The Constitution (Dadra and Nagar Haveli) Scheduled Castes Order, 1962 (Appendix IV). (v) The Constitution (Pondicherry) Scheduled Castes Order, 1964 (Appendix V). (vi) The Constitution (Sikkim) Scheduled Castes Order, 1978 (Appendix VI). 1.4 Subsequently, the lists of Scheduled Castes have been amended from time to time as per provision under Clause (2) of Article 341 of the Constitution, which provides that, “Parliament may by law include in or exclude from the list of Scheduled Castes specified in a notification issued under clause (1) any caste, race or tribe or part of or groups within any caste, race or tribe, but save as aforesaid a notification issued under the said clause shall not be varied by any subsequent notification”. The first list of Scheduled Castes after promulgation of 2 the Constitution of India in 1950 was notified through Presidential Orders of 1950 under Article 341 (1) of the Constitution. 1.5 With a view towards systematically considering the modifications in the lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, the Government of India finalized modalities on 15.06.1999 and modified on 25.06.2002 (copy at Annexure –II). In accordance with the approved modalities; the proposal of the concerned State Government/Union Territory Administration is referred to the Registrar General of India (RGI) for obtaining their comments. In case the RGI agrees with the proposal, the proposal is then referred to the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (National Commission for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, before bifurcation into two separate Commission namely National Commission for Scheduled Castes and National Commission for Scheduled Tribes). In case the National Commission for Scheduled Castes also agrees with the proposal, then such proposals which have been agreed to by the Registrar General of India and the National Commission for Scheduled Castes, are put to inter-Ministerial consultation and thereafter based on the decision of the Government to modify the list of Scheduled Castes, a Bill after having followed procedural requirements is introduced in Parliament towards modifications required in the list of Scheduled Castes, as any modification in the list of Scheduled Castes can be done by an Act of Parliament in view of Article 341(2) of the Constitution of India. In view of several consultation processes and procedural steps involved, it is not possible to specify any time frame in regard to completion of the process towards modification in the list of Scheduled Castes. 3 CHAPTER – II REPORT 2.1 The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment have informed the Committee that a number of requests were received from time

    Odisha District Gazetteers Nabarangpur

    ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS NABARANGPUR GOPABANDHU ACADEMY OF ADMINISTRATION [GAZETTEERS UNIT] GENERAL ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF ODISHA ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS NABARANGPUR DR. TARADATT, IAS CHIEF EDITOR, GAZETTEERS & DIRECTOR GENERAL, TRAINING COORDINATION GOPABANDHU ACADEMY OF ADMINISTRATION [GAZETTEERS UNIT] GENERAL ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF ODISHA ii iii PREFACE The Gazetteer is an authoritative document that describes a District in all its hues–the economy, society, political and administrative setup, its history, geography, climate and natural phenomena, biodiversity and natural resource endowments. It highlights key developments over time in all such facets, whilst serving as a placeholder for the timelessness of its unique culture and ethos. It permits viewing a District beyond the prismatic image of a geographical or administrative unit, since the Gazetteer holistically captures its socio-cultural diversity, traditions, and practices, the creative contributions and industriousness of its people and luminaries, and builds on the economic, commercial and social interplay with the rest of the State and the country at large. The document which is a centrepiece of the District, is developed and brought out by the State administration with the cooperation and contributions of all concerned. Its purpose is to generate awareness, public consciousness, spirit of cooperation, pride in contribution to the development of a District, and to serve multifarious interests and address concerns of the people of a District and others in any way concerned. Historically, the ―Imperial Gazetteers‖ were prepared by Colonial administrators for the six Districts of the then Orissa, namely, Angul, Balasore, Cuttack, Koraput, Puri, and Sambalpur. After Independence, the Scheme for compilation of District Gazetteers devolved from the Central Sector to the State Sector in 1957.

    CHAPTER VIII the INTEGRATED out LOOK of the MARWARIS in the DISTRICTS UNDER STUDY Th

    CHAPTER VIII THE INTEGRATED OUT LOOK OF THE MARWARIS IN THE DISTRICTS UNDER STUDY Th~ Marwaris are philanthropic by nature and this rare human quality is one of the chief reasons for success of Marwari entrepreneurship anywhere in India. Their cool­ headed and amiable temperament, their power of adaptabili­ ty and adjustability to any kind of circumstances~ envi­ ronment, whether regional or local, their exceptional sense of conciliation and assimilation - all these traits of their character helped them considerably in doing business in distant and unknown places, far away from their native land. However, human factors are conditioned, to some extent,by compulsions. The Marwaris are aware. that good public relations are a requisite for business transactions and that a rapport with the general public can best be estab­ lished by making cordial gesture. Their quick adoption of the local language helps them immensely in establishing this rapport. Initially, they used to migrate to a place in search of subsistence alone, keeping their womenfolk at home. So there had always been an identity crisis which they suffered from at the place of migration and to over- 344 come this crisis they thought it wise to mingle with the local people by participating in local festivals and attending social gatherings o.f other communi ties who lived there. Thereby they tried to join the mainstream of the society. At times, this attempt at social merger was per- haps only half-hearted in view of the fact that a sense of uncertainty in business always occupied their minds which were also filled with concern for their families particu- i larl:y for their womenfolk.

The Portuguese, Dutch, French and the English came to India to promote trade and commerce. The English who established the East-India Co. in 1600, gradually consolidated their hold in different parts of India. They had very capable men like Sir. Thomas Roe, Colonel Close, General Smith, Elphinstone, Grant Duff etc . The English shrewdly exploited the disunity among the Indian rulers. They were very diplomatic in their approach. Due to their far sighted policies, the English were able to expand and consolidate their rule in Maharashtra. 2 The Company’s government had trapped most of the Maratha rulers in Subsidiary Alliances and fought three important wars with Marathas over a period of 43 years (1775 -1818). 1.2 POLITICAL CONDITIONS BEFORE THE BRITISH CONQUEST : The Company’s Directors sent Lord Wellesley as the Governor- General of the Company’s territories in India, in 1798.

    Reconsidering Local History: Some Facts, Some Observations

    CHAPTER 31 Reconsidering Local History: Some Facts, Some Observations JAWHAR SIRCAR A Plea for Local History The bureaucratization of history in the twentieth century has led to its transformation into a more professional academic discipline, but a growing distinction thus developed between professionals and amateurs. The former, sacerdotal in outlook and superior in attitude, regarded the latter with disdain. They, in turn, felt resentment towards professionals who increasingly dominated a field of study the amateurs had once ruled. In the end, the bureaucratization of learning inevitably meant the exclusion of those who did not possess proper academic credentials.1 this was the candid opening sentence of a well-known American historian, but the tenor in which he continued was equally incisive and applies to academics per se, without pinpointing on History alone. ‘The bureaucratization of learning’, he said, ‘led in turn to growing estrangement between the broad educated public and the world of scholarship’, and scholars who tried to ‘bridge the widening gap between abstract thought and everyday existence’ were dismissed as journalists, popularizers, or hacks. Though quite unexpected from a formal historian, this was part of Theodore S. Hamerow’s address at the annual conference of the American Historical Association of 1988, held at Cincinnati. What the immediate provocation was for Hamerow to deliberately heat up the atmosphere in the post-Christmas chill is not known, but let us first hear him out. According to him, ‘historical research had been conducted for over two thousand years, not by professional scholars but by self-taught amateurs who had spent most of their lives in politics, warfare, theology, bureaucracy, 836 Jawhar Sircar journalism, or literature longer than in any other field of learning’.
