It's one of the stops on India's tourist circuit known as the "Golden Triangle"—along with the neighboring cities Delhi and Jaipur—and Delhi & Agra it has a number of incredible sites worth visiting, most tourists are here for one reason: the Taj Rajasthan. Transportation around India may seem daunting, but an excellent rail service with a reserved ticketing system makes it easy. The train is fast enough that if you plan out your roundtrip ticket, you could visit Agra for a day and be back in New Delhi by the evening. Buses are the cheapest option, but the trip takes significantly longer and the price difference is minimal. Travelers looking for the most hassle-free option can hire a private car or taxi, which Delhi & Agra take anywhere from three to five hours depending on traffic. The most popular way Delhi & Agra getting from Delhi to Agra is by train. It's possible to visit the Taj Mahal in a day from Delhi if you catch the right trains, the fastest of which get you from Delhi & Agra to city in two hours. Upon exiting the train station, use one of the prepaid taxi or rickshaw booths to pay Rajasthan set price for the trip. While the train ride itself is comfortable and quick, the process of buying your train tickets isn't always so easy.

He was a great visionary and it was his scientific vision to protect our environment in the 15th century. A simple peasant, saint, and seer, Jambhuji1 (Guru Jambheshwar 1451-1536 A. D.) knew the importance of bio-diversity preservation and ill–effects of environmental pollution, deforestation, wildlife preservation and ecological balance, etc. He not only learnt it himself, but also had fruit of knowledge to influence the posterity to preserve the environment and ecology through religion. Undoubtedly, he was one of the greatest environmentalist and ecologist of the 15th and 16th century as well as the contemporary of Guru Nanak2 (1469 - 1539) who composed the shabad to lay the foundation for a sacred system for the environmental preservation: Pavan Guru Pani Pita, Mata Dharat Mahat.

  • I:\Eastern Anthropologist\No 2
    Pragya Sharma A STUDY OF MATERNITY AND CHILD HEALTH CARE IN A NOMADIC COMMUNITY OF RAJASTHAN KNOWN AS RAIKA Pastoral nomads are those groups whose nomadism is connected with the needs of their herds. They move about with their herds in search of food and shelter. Khanabadosh are herdless and homeless people roaming from place to place and working as food gatherers, musicians, quack surgeons, traders or artisans like blacksmith, basket-makers, bamboo-workers, etc. Semi- nomadic tribes include those who own homes and agricultural land but who wander periodically or during certain seasons of the year following vocations like those of khanabadosh. The Population of Rajasthan is 7,10,41,283. Nearly ninety percent of Rajasthan’s population is Hindu with Muslims making up the largest minority with eight percent of the populations. Jains - the merchant and traders from Rajasthan constitute a significant presence. Scheduled Castes (ST) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) form about seventy percent and twelve percent of the state population respectively. The population of the tribes in Rajasthan is nearly a double of the national average, with original inhabitants Bhils and the Meenas forming the largest group. Lesser known tribes like Sahariyas, Damariyas, Garasias, Lohars still form an important groups. The main nomadic tribes of Rajasthan are Guduliya Lohars, Raika, Nat and Kalbelia. Raika are pastoral nomads and they earn their living by rearing sheep, goat and camel. They are the main pastoral nomads of Rajasthan and the present study is focused on them. Raikas represent the predominant pastoral group of western Rajasthan. Though they are also called Rebari or Dewasi, but ‘Raika’ seems to be the most frequently used terms for these people.

  • What Is an Environmental Movement? Major Environmental Movements In
    What is an Environmental Movement? • An environmental movement can be defined as a social or political movement, for the conservation of environment or for the improvement of the state of the environment. The terms ‘green movement’ or ‘conservation movement’ are alternatively used to denote the same. • The environmental movements favour the sustainable management of natural resources. The movements often stress the protection of the environment via changes in public policy. Many movements are centred on ecology, health and human rights. • Environmental movements range from the highly organized and formally institutionalized ones to the radically informal activities. • The spatial scope of various environmental movements ranges from being local to the almost global. The environmental movements have for long been classified as violent/non-violent, Gandhian/Marxian, radical/ mai11strcam, deep/shallow, mainstream/grassroots, etc. A Local Grassroots Environmental Movement (LGEM) as a movement fighting a particular instance of pollution in a geographically specified region. Local Grassroots Environmental Movements have a limited range of goals that are tied to specific problems. Major Environmental Movements in India Some of the major environmental movements in India during the period 1700 to 2000 are the following. 1.Bishnoi Movement • Year: 1700s • Place: Khejarli, Marwar region, Rajasthan state. • Leaders: Amrita Devi along with Bishnoi villagers in Khejarli and surrounding villages. • Aim: Save sacred trees from being cut down by the king’s soldiers for a new palace. What was it all about: Amrita Devi, a female villager could not bear to witness the destruction of both her faith and the village’s sacred trees. She hugged the trees and encouraged others to do the same.
