Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. The sounds and flavours of the land south of the Vindhyas-temple bells, coffee and jasmine, coconut and tamarind, delicious dosais and appams-are familiar to many, but its history is relatively unknown. In this monumental study, the first in over fifty years, historian and biographer Rajmohan Gandhi brings us the South Indian story in modern times. At heart, the story he tells is one of four powerful cultures-Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu, as well as the cultures-Kodava, Konkani, Marathi, Oriya, Tulu and indigenous-that have influenced them. When the narrative begins at the end of the sixteenth century, the Deccan sultanates of Bijapur, Ahmadnagar, Golconda and Bidar have combined to defeat the kingdom of Vijayanagara, one of the last great medieval empires of the South. After the fall of Vijayanagara, less powerful nayakas or sultans ruled the region. Competition raged between these rulers and the many European trading companies. By the seventeenth century, only the French and British remained to fight it out, in association with Indian rulers and princely states. The eighteenth century saw the growth of the kingdom of Mysore, first under Haidar Ali, a military leader who had briefly served the Nawab of Arcot, and then under his son Tipu Sultan, who annexed parts of present-day Tamil Nadu and Kerala. By now the European presence was growing strong and assertive. And with the fall of Tipu in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War at the end of the eighteenth century, the British East India Company (now the sole European power in South India) consolidated its holdings in the South. In the nineteenth century, power changed hands from the private East India Company to the British monarchy-Queen Victoria became the Empress of India -and Britain continued consolidating its territory. Despite the tumultuous environment, this century also saw a creative outpouring. The twentieth century saw a change in the relationship between the foreign ruler and the Indian citizenry. No longer content with isolated military campaigns led by rajas or nawabs, Indians expressed their urge for freedom through democratic outlets. National parties such as the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League and regional ones like the Justice Party, Andhra Mahajana Sabha, Dravida Kazhagam and others emerged. Prominent South Indian leaders such as Annie Besant, C. Rajagopalachari, E. V. Ramasami Naicker, Varadarajulu Naidu, K. Kamaraj, Annadurai, Kamaladevi, E. M. S. Namboodiripad, Potti Sriramulu and others took the fight to the British while, at the same time, carrying on campaigns to ensure the dignity of all citizens. After Independence, new states were carved out from the former presidencies and princely states along linguistic lines-Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Andhra. The book ends in the present, with a look at the new generation of political leaders who have taken overfrom dominant personalities like M. Karunanidhi, N. T. Rama Rao, M. G. Ramachandran, J. Jayalalithaa, K. Karunakaran and Ramakrishna Hegde. It also covers some of the most significant figures from other fields such as Narayana Guru, M. S. Subbulakshmi, U. R. Ananthamurthy, Dr Muthulakshmi Reddy and others. A masterpiece in every sense of the word, Modern South India is a rich, authoritative and magnificent work of history about the South that will be read, debated and reflected upon for years to come.

Excerpt: Dhirajlal Hirachand Ambani (Gujarati: ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿) also known as Dhirubhai, (28 December 1932 6 July 2002) was an Indian business magnate and entrepreneur who founded Reliance Industries, a petrochemicals, communications, power, and textiles conglomerate and the only privately owned Indian company in the Fortune 500. Ambani took his company public in 1977. Dhirubhai has been one among the select Forbes billionaires and has also figured in the Sunday Times list of top 50 businessmen in Asia. His life has often been referred to as a true 'rags to riches' story. Dhirubhai started off as a small time worker with Arab merchants in the 1950s and moved to Mumbai in 1958 to start his own business in spices. After making modest profits, he moved into textiles and opened his mill near Ahmedabad. Dhirubhai founded Reliance Industries in 1958 and today the company, with over 85,000 employees, provides almost 5% of the Central Government's total tax revenue. Ambani was credited with introducing the stock market to the average investor, and thousands of investors attended the Reliance annual general meetings, which were sometimes held in a football stadium, with millions more watching on television. In 1986 after a heart attack he handed over Reliance Group to his sons Mukesh and Anil. After his death, the group was split into Reliance Industries, headed by Mukesh Ambani and Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (Reliance ADAG), led by Anil Ambani. He was born into a Gujarati family. Hirachand Gordhandhas Ambani was a village school teacher with little income. Hirachand and Jamnaben had two daughters - Trilochanaben and Jasuben and three sons - Ramnikbhai, Dhirubhai and Natubhai. Dhirubhai was the second son. Dhirubhai was precocious and highly intelligent. He was also highly impatient of the oppressive grinding mill of the school classroom. He chose work which used his physical ability to the maximum rather than cramming school lessons. When Jamnaben once asked Dhirubhai and 38 pp. Englisch.

Even after six decades of independence the significance of Indian agriculture is overburdened with more people more area less economies which is solidly depending on vagaries of monsoon. Government's rural development has not made the desired impact on the lives of people. However the degraded moonscape of Jhabua district became the setting for a major watershed development programme. This grew into other programmes of rural development. The poorest of the poor are reaping the benefits today. The objective is to trap every drop of rain people have to demand nullahs build tanks and watersheds. To conserve soil people had to plant fruit bearing trees. Soon there was grass for cattle and crops of different kinds. Anna Hazare and Ralegan Siddhi's people got used to producing surplus water and began to build brick houses for themselves. The primary aim is to make water every body's responsibility and to ensure that water management is not a centralised issue that the state has to deal with. All water comes from rain. Rain is decentralised. So is the demand for water. Why can't we decentralise scientific suppl.

They are small and formed in the anthers of flowering plants. Abiotic and biotic agents transfer pollen to the receptive site of stigma. Among biotic agents bees are the most important pollen vectors and have established intimate interactive relationships with flowers. The pollen grains carry different kinds of nutrients and upon arrival at the receptive stigma they germinate and continue their growth to the embryo sac in ovary of the flower. Each plant species has evolved a characteristic type of pollen depending on the mode of pollen transport and requirements for pollination process. The pollen characteristics are distinguishable by their outer form chemical composition and nutrient content. They are useful in Paleopalynology and melissopalynology. Paleopalynology refers to the identification of paleontological discoveries while melissopalynology to the identification of geographic and botanical origin of honeys. Morphological characteristics of pollen such as structure size colour and form are important in the reconstruction of vegetation climate of the past and plant diversity. Further they are key issues in plant taxonomy evolution and breeding and in identification of food sources and construction of foraging routes of foragers. Pollen is considered to be a marvelous medium for the growth of fungi and bacteria. Pollen composition varies from species to species. It contains proteins sugars starch amino acids and lipids as major components. The amino acids essential to humans are found in pollen. The polysaccharides such as callose pectin cellulose and lignin sporopollenin are predominant in pollen. Studies show that the pollen on a weight or calorie content basis is rich in protein fat minerals and vitamins when compared to the occurrence of such components in foods such as fried chicken beef baked beans apple raw cabbage tomatoes etc. suggesting that pollen is a substantial source of essential nutrients. Pollen is frequently considered as the perfect complete food. Numerous stories exist about the powers of pollen with reference to its nutritional value. One notable story is that high performance athletes eat pollen considering it as a miracle food to enhance their perfo.

Water is a prime natural resource a basic human need and a precious national asset. Planning development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives. Ecological concern is not merely an environmental concern but also calls for prudent use of water resources. Planning and implementation of water resources projects involve a number of socio economic aspects and issues such as environmental sustainability appropriate resettlement and rehabilitation of project affected people and livestock public health concerns of water impoundment dam safety etc. Economic development has posed certain challenges for the planners and administrators associated with the allocation and distribution of water resources. This book presents views and opinions of experts regarding conservation and effective utilization of water resources that are fast becoming scarce in their availability. The gravity of the problem the realities and consequences on the present and future generations is a well recognized fact which calls for rational utilization of water resources. Watershed management through extensive soil conservation catchment area treatment preservation of forests and increasing the forest cover and the construction of check dams should be promoted. The contributors in the book include experts in drought studies environmental studies public utility st.
