Jharkhand
Author: Amit Prakash
Publisher: Orient Blackswan
ISBN: 9788125018995
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
This book traces the evolution and transformation of the Jharkhandi identity over the last half-century culminating in the formation of the Jharkhand state in November 2000. The book provides decade-wise detailed socio-economic data for Jharkhand and undivided Bihar, beginning with 1950, and correlates the performance of the Jharkhandi political formations in Lok Sabha elections with the development profile of Jharkhand (in relation to undivided Bihar). It would be immensely valuable to political analysts, political parties, economists, policy makers, advocates of smaller states in India, and the state governments of Jharkhand and present-day Bihar.

Herbs of Tribal Land Jharkhand, India
Author: M.K. Jaipuriar
Publisher: Scientific Publishers
ISBN: 9387913317
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 509
Book Description
This book is an attempt in compiling all such available information based on the critical study of literature till date, and, on the interactions of the author with the indigenous people during his more than three decades of association with the forest and the people of the area. The necessity for such an attempt, for a specific region, rich both in MAP as well as the tribal, in whom the available knowledge has been concisely recorded, was keenly felt to provide guidance to the future researchers in objective ethnobotany (OE) as well as in indigenous drugs. This book is also intended for the forest officers, who faces numerous enquiries addressed to them by quoting names in local languages; and more often than not they are faced with a dialemna as to how to locate this plant even though the particular plant may be in his vicinity. Hence, names in different languages have been indexed for both the researchers in OE and for the forest officers, as well as for the amateurs.

The Jharkhand Movement
Author: Rāmadayāla Muṇḍā
Publisher: IWGIA
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
Jharkhand, the land of forest, named by the people of the neighboring plains, had been a safe haven of the indigenous peoples until the sixteenth century when the process of central state formation began to grow out of the nontribal matrix in the region. The states that emerged then fell under the direct influence and control of the great empires of successive periods that encroached upon the resources and lives of the indigenous peoples. They disrupted their egalitarian social system and their culture based upon a symbiotic relationship with their environment, forcing the indigenous people to retreat to even more inhospitable regions to rebuild their social structure. However, they were never able to fully escape the ever-increasing boundaries of the state, which eventually stripped the Jharkhand of its resources and left its people peasants. The modern Jharkhand movement, a continuation of the peoples' resistance to the encroaching state, has been widely covered in the media and academic circles. Various analytical reports, academic interpretations and political explanations, often holding contradictory views, have been published over a period exceeding the last five decades. The production of such a huge corpus of literature shows the strength of the movement, and the immense significance of the issues. Containing contributions by leading social scientists and activists, this volume furthers the discourse on the relationship between mainstream nationalism and the indigenous identity often termed ethnicity, as it relates to the nation state. In doing so, it helps civil society understand the relevance of autonomy and identity of the indigenous peoples of the country as a whole. Thebasic line of inquiry concerns the issues (dispossession from life supporting resources of land, forest, water and identity), the main cause (internal colonialism) and the remedy (provision of autonomy).

Indigeneity, Landscape and History
Author: Asoka Kumar Sen
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1351611860
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
This book engages with notions of self and landscape as manifest in water, forest and land via historical and current perspectives in the context of indigenous communities in India. It also brings processes of identity formation among tribes in Africa and Latin America into relief. Using interconnected historical moments and representations of being, becoming and belonging, it situates the content and complexities of Adivasi self-fashioning in contemporary times, and discusses constructions of selfhood, diaspora, homeland, environment and ecology, political structures, state, marginality, development, alienation and rights. Drawing on a range of historical sources – from recorded oral traditions and village histories to contemporary Adivasi self-narratives – the volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of modern Indian history, sociology and social anthropology, tribal and indigenous studies and politics.
