Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people. Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock. I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fght my greatest enemy - myself. Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes. So when life fades, as the fading sunset, my Spirit may come to you without shame.

Southern Indian tribes showed reduced diversity and large genetic distances, both among themselves and when compared with other groups, and no signal of prehistoric demographic expansions. These results probably reflect enhanced genetic drift because of small population sizes and/or bottlenecks in these groups. By contrast, northern groups exhibited more diversity and signals of prehistoric demographic expansions. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that southern and northern groups (except northeastern ones) have related mtDNA sequences albeit at different frequencies, further supporting the larger impact of drift on the genetic structure of southern groups. The Indian mtDNA gene pool appears to be more closely related to the east Eurasian gene pool (including central, east and southeast Asian populations) than the west Eurasian one (including European and Caucasian populations). Within India, northeastern tribes are quite distinct from other groups; they are more closely related to east Asians than to other Indians.

    I give permission for public access to my thesis and for copying to be done at the discretion of the archives librarian and/or the College librarian. ____Melissa Woytek Rice_________ __May 15, 2012___ Signature Date Abstract India’s forests are home to half of the world’s tiger population and to millions of people. While conservationists clamor for reserves for the endangered Bengal tiger, forest people oppose any attempts to displace them from their homes. Most of these people identify as “indigenous” and rely on forest resources for their livelihood. For 200 years, the Indian state has tried to prevent them from accessing forests, claiming they degrade ecosystems and threaten wildlife. In contrast, indigenous activists and their allies in non-governmental organizations (NGOs) claim that indigenous people are the legitimate protectors of tigers who have been dispossessed by a corrupt state. The Forest Rights Act of 2006 recognized, for the first time, the rights of forest dwellers. It allows indigenous people to claim communal and individual rights to farm, graze animals, and harvest non-timber resources in government-owned forests. But the Forest Rights Act has been implemented unevenly and is frequently violated, especially in tiger reserves.1 Government officials continue to harass indigenous people and evict them, treating tigers as a uniquely endangered species whose protection precludes the rights guaranteed to people under the Forest Rights Act. Most decisions about resource control depend on what narratives officials believe are true.2 Narratives provide simplified accounts of complex environmental interactions. They unfold in storybook form, with a beginning, a central problem, and a suggested solution.3 In India, where the national government operates in English and Hindi, the stories that English- language popular media and NGOs publish about tiger conservation influence how policy 1 National Committee on Forest Rights Act.

  • Bio-Linguistic Studies on the South Indian Dravidian Language Family
    ISSN (Online) 2393-8021 IARJSET ISSN (Print) 2394-1588 International Advanced Research Journal in Science, Engineering and Technology Vol. 6, Issue 12, December 2019 Bio-Linguistic Studies on the South Indian Dravidian Language Family and Population Radhika Bhat1, Anoop Markande2* Assistant Professor, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indukaka Ipkowala Institute of Management, Charotar University of Science and Technology (CHARUSAT), Changa, Gujjarat 388421, India1 Assistant Professor, Department of Biological Sciences, PD Patel Institute of Applied Sciences, Charotar University of Science and Technology (CHARUSAT), Changa, Gujarat 388421, India2 Abstract: The Dravidian language family of South India is considered to be one of the most prominent connected language family known with 73 major sections and subsections. The Dravidian language diversification starts at a point where the proto-Dravidian language started split coinciding with the decline of the Indus valley civilization around 1500 years ago. This era also coincides with the enhanced diversification of Sanskrit to different Prakrit languages within Indian subcontinent. The next significant change in the Dravidian languages occurs during the conquest of Alexander coinciding with the beginning of Proto-Telugu and proto-Kannada. This era coincided with the emergence and popularisation of Buddhism and Jainism (social Renaissance), the diversification of the languages also can be traced with the mixing of the population during these periods. These have been traced using mtDNA and Y-chromosomal studies. The changes in the genetic makeup which could be traced along the migratory route to Australia can be easily ascertained. Thus, the genetic divergence of human populations within this area could be correlated with the diversification of the language family due to various factors.

  • The Greeny Selection
    The greeny selection Monsoon is the time to feast on green leafy vegetables, particularly for the soligas, an indigenous tribal community of the Western Ghats. Soliga, also spelled Sholaga is a tribe in India that inhabits the Biligirirangan and associated hill ranges in Southern Karnataka, mostly in Chamarajanagar District and Erode district of Tamil Nadu. Most of them are concentrated in and around the BR Hills in Yelandur and Kollegal Taluks of Chamarajanagar District, Karnataka. The Soliga are categorized as Scheduled Tribe. Soliga people follow Hindu practices and their main deities are Madeshwara, Karayya, Kyate Devaru and Jadeswamy. Their population is about 20,000. The Soligas have a remarkable knowledge of wild and leafy vegetables. They collect more than 50 such vegetables and fruits for different uses. During the rainy season, they collect more than 30 leafy vegetables that are high in iron and nutrition. Most Soliga households at this time are filled with the aroma of delightful dishes. Kaddisoppu (jasminum trichotomum), which belongs to the Oleaceae family, is a shub found abundantly just before the monsoon arrives in this forest area. It is bitter in taste, rich in iron, magnesium, methanolic, alkaloids and phytosterols. The Soligas collect kaddisoppu from the forest products, or while grazing cattle. The tender leaves of kaddisoppu protect them from monsoon maladies. They have discovered that kaddisoppu is a particularly good medicine for cold, cough and flu. It also works wonder on people with stomach infections, especially dysentery and stomach ache. Forty-year-old chikkmadaiah, who lives in Gorasane village near Male Madeshwara Hills temple, prepares uppusaru with tamarind which, he says, combats stomach infection.
