The Haroti plateau has a rich floristic diversity suggests many kinds of plant species. Ramgarh Vishdhari Wild Life Sanctuary is a single compact and large forest ecosystem in Haroti region. It is located in Bundi district of Rajasthan state and 45 km. away from it. The submitted thesis on the floristic and ethnobotanical study of Ramgarh Vishdhari Wild Life sanctuary of Bundi district south east Rajasthan was taken up to evaluate its on holistic basis. Earlier it had a larger forest cover, but due to environmental degradation quite a large number of plant species are threatened. Many plant species of sanctuary have ethnobotanical significance. The present investigation was made to holistic approach of ecosystem of area with reference to floristic diversity and also to enumerate the plant species being used by the local population for food, fodder, fuel, fibre, dyes etc. Along with economic value of various plant species, ethnobotanical uses of prevalent in tribal population have also been assessed in the present study. Ethnobotany is the study of how people of a particular culture and region make the uses of indigenous plants. Ethnobotanists explore how plants are used for such things as food, shelter, medicine, clothing, hunting and religious ceremonies. It may be said that the ethnobotany has become a broader discipline, which is interested in all studies about the relationship between people and plants. Scope of ethnobotany is not confined to one area but it covers a broad range of study areas, which are interconnected to each other in one sense or the other. So, there is a great opportunity to explore the ethnobotanical approach towards the modern civilization and giving them a firm task, which should include conservation of plant species and other forms of biological diversity and sustainability in supplies of wild plant resources.

    PREFACE CENSUS TAKING, IT HAS RECENTLY BEEN explained by the Census Commissioner for India, should be regarded primarily as a detached collection and presentation of certain facts in tabular form for the use and consultation of the whole country, and, for that matter, the whole world. Conclusions are for ot.hers to draw. It is upon this understanding of their purpose that Tables have been printed in this volume with only the ,barest notes necessary to explain such points as definitions, change of areas, etc. But perhaps the word , barest' is too bare and requires some covering. In the past it has been customary to preface the Tables with many pages of text, devoted to providing some general description of the area concerned and supported by copious Subsidiary Tables and comparisons with data collected in other provinces, countries and states. On this occasion there is no prefatory text, no provision of extraneous comparisons, and Subsidiary Tables have virtually been made part of the Tables themselves. We may agree that the present method of presentation has much to recommend it. Those who seriously study census statistics at least can be presumed to be able to draw their own deductions: they do not need a guide constantly at their side, and indeed may actually resent his well-intentioned efforts. All that they require are t,he bare facts. Yet such people must ever constitute a very small minority. 'Vhat of the others-the vast majority of the public? It is hardly to be expected that they can be lured to Census Tavern by the offer of such coarse fare.

Many societies live with it and do not take firm and sustainable actions to face it until the consequences erupt in violent and dramatic forms. 1 INTRODUCTION The use of cultural superstitions and occult rituals is a powerful means to control a human trafficking victim and reaches to the depths of one's psychological vulnerability. Combined with other conditions that render a person vulnerable to being trafficked--such as poverty, lack of opportunity, and violent conflict--an individual can become so frightened by the omnipotent powers of the spirit world as to be rendered entirely incapable of resisting criminal acts and human rights violations.

  • India - Researched and Compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 23 November 2009
    India - Researched and compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 23 November 2009 Treatment of widows in India; legal status; current situation; discrimination; government and societal attitude; available police protection and services; availability of NGO support; social welfare support; freedom of movement Radio Netherlands in November 2009 states: “There are more than 40 million widows in India - 10 percent of the country's female population. And for the majority of these women, life is what some have described as a "living sati", a reference to the now outlawed practice of widow burning. Only 28 percent of the widows in India are eligible for pensions, and of that number, less than 11 percent actually receive the payments to which they're entitled. If a woman is not financially independent, she's at the mercy of her in laws and her parents. And if they don't have the will or the resources to take care of her and her children, she's on her own” (Radio Netherlands (4 November 2009) A life of ashes - The story of India's widows) This article also states: “Hindu widows especially are faced with a battery of societal taboos; the general rule of thumb is that the higher their caste, the more restrictions widows face. Traditionally when a man dies, his widow is expected to renounce all earthly pleasures. Widows should no longer look attractive, and are expected to wear only simple white saris for the rest of their lives. On news of their husband's death, they break their bangles and can no longer wear jewellery or use sindhoor - the red powder women wear in their parting and on their foreheads to denote their married status” (ibid) This article also notes: “Moitri Chatterjee has been campaigning for the rights of widows for years.

  • Political Awakening in Rajasthan: Praja Mandal Movements
    Political Awakening in Rajasthan: Praja Mandal Movements Formation: • In 1927, the All India States People's Conference was held in Bombay after which the Congress party allowed people from different Princely States to join the party and the Indian freedom struggle movement. • In 1927 itself, the Akhil Bhartiya Desi Rajya Lok Parishad or All India Native States Public Council was established in Bombay and Vijay Singh Pathik became its chairperson. • In Rajasthan, Rajputana Desi Lok Parishad or Rajputana Native States Public Council was established. These councils laid the foundation for Praja Mandal movement in Rajasthan. Nature of the Praja Mandal Movements: • The people of Praja Mandal fought against feudalism and colonialism. • They fought against their feudal princes and the British administration simultaneously for their rights. • The main demand of the Praja Mandal movements was of democratic (fundamental) rights. Activities of Praja Mandal Movements: • The people of the Praja Mandal Movements implemented constructive programmes of the Indian National Movement in their princely states. • They established schools, used khadi, encouraged cottage industries and started agitation against the Untouchability. Contribution of Praja Mandals: 1 Coaching for Judicial Services, DU LLB and CLAT | www.delhilawacademy.com • The Praja Mandal movement not only created a political awakening among the people in the Indian States but also fought for their rights, their share in the government and their dynamic participation in the future political set up of the country. • Other contributions included: − Improvement in Education − Rise of social equality • The most important contribution of these organisation was to break the insularity of the peasant movements by linking them with one another in different princely states, as well as with peasant movements in British India.

Deha, Dhaya or Dhea .. 99-109 ANNEXURE: Framework for ethnographic study .. 111-115 }1~OREWORD The Indian Census has had the privIlege of presenting authentic ethnographic accounts of Indian communities. It was usual in all censuses to collect and publish information on race, tribes and castes. The Constitution lays down that "the state shall promote with special care educational and economic interests of the weaker sections of the people and, in parti­ cular, of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and shall protect them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation". To assist states in fulfiHing their responsibility in this regard the 1961 Census provided a series of special tabulations of the social and economic data on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are notified by the Presi· dent under the Constitution and the Parliament is empowered to include or exclude from the lists any caste or tribe. No other source can claim the same authenticity and comprehensiveness as the census of India to help the Government in taking de· cisions on matters such as these.
