The All-India Reports and Tables compiled in the office of the Registrar General, India, encompass the entire country. The reports compiled by the State Superintendents relate to individual States and Centrally Administered Territories. The third group consists of District Census Handbooks the scope of which is limited to individual Districts, and they give information for each town and village. The Hand­ books have been compiled by the Superintendent of Census Operations, but are published by the State Govern­ ment. The District Census Handbooks were published for the first time at the 1951-census. They proved very useful with the officers working in Community Development Blocks, Tahsils and Districts, and were consul­ ted in connection with elections and by students of social sciences interested in local problems. It was, therefore, decided to continue with this series at the 1961-census. This Handbook contains the essential census data for each village and town (according to wards) in the District. Besides, some very useful information collected from various State Departments has been included in it, trying to make it a self-contained book of reference for the District. The book is divided into four parts. Part I is mostly descriptive and consists of four chapters. Chapter I introduces the District, giving hlformation on its location, physical features, climate, fauna and flora, towns and places of interest, a brief history of the District and its administrative machinery. In Chapter II are discussed the use of land, main crops and irrigation, industries, trade and commerce, and communications. In Chapter III the salient features of population are discussed. Chapter IV deals with social and developmental activities, and achievements during the First and Second Five-Year Plans. In Part II are presented the statistics secured from various Government Departments relating to rainfall, temperature, land utilisation, irrigation, area and yield of principal crops, livestock, industry co-operation, education, printing and publishing, entertainments, medical and health, births and deaths, transport and communications, community development activities, banks and insurance, and justice. Then comes a Table on the fairs and festivals in the District. The Tables relating to the 1961-census are presented in Part III. Part IV contains a Directory of Villages and Towns, showing the location of educational institutions, hospitals and dispensaries, post and telegraph offices, electrification and protected water-supply; area; number of occupied residential houses and households living therein; popUlation; persons belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes; number of literate and edu- cated persons; number of workers in nine broad industrial categories; and number of non-workers. The book contains several maps. There is a map of the District showing the administrative boundaries, roads and railways, rivers and canals, and location of towns. Another map shows the distribution of population in the District by dots: the population <1f towns is shown by proportionate circles; and of rural areas by dots, one dot representing 200 persons. For each Tahsil in the District two types of maps have been prepared, one showing the Im.ation of social amenities, and the second showing the boundaries of villages and towns. These maps were prepared in the Cartographic Section in the State Census Office, jointly by Kumaris Ranbir Sokhi and Satwinder H. Singh, both M.As' in Geography. This publication is the outcome of the joint efforts of a large number of workers and Government Departments, and grateful acknowledgement is made of the help received from them. Within the Census Organisa­ tion mention needs to be made of Shri Jaswant Singh Dilawary, Statistical Assistant and Shri Vishwa Mitter, Supervisor, under the supervision of Shri T. P. Garg, P.C.S., Deputy Superintendent of Census Operations, for preparing the Tables presented in Part II and of Shri Goverdhan Dass Singla, Statistical Assistant and Sarvshri Dharam Paul Jain and Joginder Nath Suri, Tabulation Assistants, under the supervision of Shri Pawan Kumar, Tabulation Officer, for preparing the Tables presented in Parts III and IV. Shri Sjta Ram, P.C.S., Deputy Superintendent of Census Operations, Punjab, paid a number of visits to the various parts of the Simla District, and after collecting information by personal observations and discus­ sions with a large number of persons, produced the draft of t)1is Handbook. My thanks are due also to Shri K. C. Kuriyan, Controller of Printing & Stationery, Punjab, and his Deputy, Shri Tara Chand, for their personal attention in the printing of the book. R. L.

According to Long·, "Simla derives its name from 'Shyeamalay', the house built of blue slate erected by a Paqir on lakhu, the first nucleus of the settlement". Another version is that the word 'Simla' has its orjgin in 'Shamla', which means a 'blue female' and may be another name for the goddess Kali. It is stated that at a site near the Rothney Castle on the Jakhu hilI, there existed a small temple dedicated to Kali. It had a small wooden image of 'Majee' which was worshipped by the native people. Sometime during the early British settlement in the locality, this image was removed to the present site of the Kali Bari. Location and boundaries.-Simla is one of the six Districts of the Ambala Division and lies towards its north-east. It is hedged in by Himachal Pradesh from all sides except a little in the south and south-west, where Ambala District touches it, and has enclosed within itself chunks of the territory of Himachal Pradesh. On its south-east, it is bounded by the District of Sirmur (Himachal Pradesh), the river Giri forming the boun­ dary to a considerable length. On the east, north-east, north-west and west lie the territory of Mahasu District (Himachal Pradesh). Ambala District lies towards its south-west and south. Area.-The District is an irregular piece of territory extending from Simla in the north-east to Kalka in the south-west. At the time of the 1951-census, the District consisted of the Simla municipal limits and Jutogh Cantonment area, but in 1959, Tahsil Kandaghat of Patiala District shorn of its Pinjore Kanungo circle was annexed to it. The District now consists of Simla Sub-Tahsil and Kandaghat Tahsil. The total area of the District is reported as 267 sq. miles .by the Surveyor General of India, and 222.1 sq. miles by the Director of Land Records, l'unjab, distributed as follows: Area (sq. miles) Total Rural Urban Sub-Tansil, Simla 7.55 7.55· 'Tahsil Kandaghat 214.55 211.34 3.21 Simla is the smallest District in Punjab, being about 1/24 the size of Hissar (5,363 sq.

There were many reasons behind this decision.

  • Gurbani and Nanakshahi Calendar (Pal Singh Purewal, Edmonton)
    Gurbani And Nanakshahi Calendar (Pal Singh Purewal, Edmonton) Guru Nanak Sahib had spent almost a quarter of a century travelling and spreading the word in the world. Since most of his travels were on foot, he must have spent countless summer nights in the lap of nature. He observed physical phenomena, and his bani portrays some of them. It is true that his aim was not to highlight the phenomena but to impart true knowledge using them as a vehicle, since people could relate to them. From amongst such phenomena mention may be made of the formation of day and night, the month - lunar and solar, the year, the movement of the luminaries - the sun, the moon, and the stars, formation of seasons, the twelve months of the year, the tithi (lunar day), and the division of the day by man into smaller units of time such as pehar, muhurat, ghati,pal, visuaye, chasuaye, and yugas - the mega units of time. These units are the basic building blocks of Hindu calendars. Mention of these is made in Guru Granth Sahib. In Tukhari Raga Guru Sahib records the appearance of a comet in the sky. qwrw ciVAw lMmw ikau ndir inhwilAw rwm ] - pM: 1110 The Sun the moon and the stars While the sun represents heat and excitation, the moon represents coolness, comfort and solace. The sun also is dispeller of darkness and represents enlightenment due to experience of true knowledge. Sun’s apparent motion in the sky causes the formation of day and night and of seasons in the year.

  • Bhakra Dam – a Different View
    Review 12 Bhakra dam – A different view Siddharth Narrain Unravelling Bhakra: Assessing the Temple of Resurgent India by Shripad Dharmadhikary, Manthan Adhyayan Kendra, Badwani, MP, 2005; pp 372, Rs.150. [B.E21a.D3] THE last two decades have seen an increasing number of questions being raised on the utility of big dams in India. In 2000, the World Commission on Dams (WCD) brought out its report "Dams and Development: A New Framework for Decision Making" after two years of work, which included interactions with non-governmental organisations (NGOs), people's movements, governments, and international organisations such as the World Bank. According to the India country study report submitted as part of this process, the planning process in India has not looked seriously at alternatives to big dams nor has it tried to find out whether big dams have been beneficial vis-a-vis their financial, social and environmental costs. One of the dams that is widely perceived to have played a crucial role in India becoming self- sufficient in food production is the Bhakra dam, the first of the large dams that Jawaharlal Nehru called "temples of modern India". 1 A recent report, "Unravelling Bhakra: Assessing the Temple of Resurgent India", has concluded that the spectacular growth in foodgrain production in Punjab and Haryana can be attributed to the Bhakra project only to a limited extent. The report, the first of its kind to evaluate comprehensively the costs and benefits of the Bhakra project, was put together after three years of research and field visits by the Manthan Adhyayan Kendra headed by Shripad Dharmadhikary.

  • The Sikh Dilemma: the Partition of Punjab 1947
    The Sikh Dilemma: The Partition of Punjab 1947 Busharat Elahi Jamil Abstract The Partition of India 1947 resulted in the Partition of the Punjab into two, East and West. The 3rd June Plan gave a sense of uneasiness and generated the division of dilemma among the large communities of the British Punjab like Muslims, Hindus and Sikh besetting a holocaust. This situation was beneficial for the British and the Congress. The Sikh community with the support of Congress wanted the proportion of the Punjab according to their own violation by using different modules of deeds. On the other hand, for Muslims the largest populous group of the Punjab, by using the platform of Muslim League showed the resentment because they wanted the decision on the Punjab according to their requirements. Consequently the conflict caused the world’s bloodiest partition and the largest migration of the history. Introduction The Sikhs were the third largest community of the United Punjab before India’s partition. The Sikhs had the historic religious, economic and socio-political roots in the Punjab. Since the annexation of the Punjab, they were faithful with the British rulers and had an influence in the Punjabi society, even enjoying various privileges. But in the 20th century, the Muslims 90 Pakistan Vision Vol. 17 No. 1 Independence Movement in India was not only going to divide the Punjab but also causing the division of the Sikh community between East and West Punjab, which confused the Sikh leadership. So according to the political scenarios in different timings, Sikh leadership changed their demands and started to present different solutions of the Sikh enigma for the geographical transformation of the province.
