The river Ganga and the river Brahmaputra meet in Bangladesh

No comments on “The river Ganga and the river Brahmaputra meet in Bangladesh”

Bangladesh is a fertile, flat country to east of west Bengal. Before partition in 1947, it was called east Bengal. After Partition, it was called East Pakistan. When it became independent from Pakistan in 1971, it changed its name to Bangladesh. Bangladesh means `Land of the Bengalis.’ Like the people of west Bengal, Bangladesh speak Bangla. Most of them are Muslims but there are also quite a few Hindus.

The river Ganga and the river Brahmaputra meet in Bangladesh. Both are enormous rivers. They spread out to form a delta of many smaller rivers before they meet the sea. This means that there are rivers all over country. The rivers bring very good soil to the fields so people can grow a lot of rice. They also bring fish-and most Bengalis love eats to fish! Sadly the rivers sometimes flood. In 1998, millions of people lost their homes because of floods. Many people became ill because floods spread disease. Another danger comes from cyclones. The land near the sea is low and flat, so tidal waves from the sea can sweep away homes, animals and people.

Bangla talk

Bangladesh is a very dense population, so it is crowded and many people are poor. Less than half of the people can read and write. The average life of Bangladeshis is 56 years-shorter than India.

There are lots of rivers where we live. One of our main crops is jute because it needs lots of water. The stalks of jute plants are stringy, so they are made into mats and rope. Then they are exported to other countries. My father used to earn good money in the jute fields. The trouble is that nowadays many mats and ropes are made of plastic. This means that other countries don’t buy so much jute-and he doesn’t get so much work. This is a work of him on a good day, when he has work. He’s soaking jute stalks in the river.

My mother used to stay at home all day, but last year she got job too. There is a work of her making a basket out of jute. The baskets are exported to foreign countries.

I used to go to school, but now I have to go to work, like my parents. School is free, but we didn’t have enough money too pay for the books and uniform. I was really sorry to leave school as I was good at my studies-especially science. I wanted to be a science teacher, but I cannot now. I will work for a daily wage like my father. At the moment it is quite easy to get work. The landowners want children like me to work for them because they don’t have to pay us as much as grown-ups.

What's going on in India?????

No comments on “What's going on in India?????”

Well I am little worried about the present situation in India, even thought it appears to be stable but it is not that stable. People are playing with Government and politics is also playing games every now and then. I will share some topics below on by one

Recession: In the name of recession different business organizations are making a lot of profit. They are hiring an employee with his skills of 10 thousand per month in just around 6-7 thousands and the reason behind this is as they will say is Recession. Unfortunately that employee has to work their because any time one will think that it is better than nothing. Do he has to work over there?

Politics: Prior to elections we have listened a lot of assurance that different political leaders and after election they will either forget it or else they will just do it partially giving some reason or other. Is this person a great leader?

Smart People and Politics: People are smarter these days and they can make government do whatever they wanted to do with their unique weapons.These weapons belongs to pre-independence period when Gandhiji told to all the freedom fighters to use hunger strike as a weapon but only for the benefit of the nation but people are now using it for their personal benefit or for the benefit of certain group. Do you think it will continue forever?

One of the great impact of this was "Partition of Andhra Pradesh". Government should be more strict, powerful and firm with its decisions that no hunger strike can change their decisions. Even if someone tries to do so then those people should be taken under observation and their contacts should be checked so that their exact motive can be revealed.

I know these things might be obvious as far as great thinkers are concerned but they are not expressing them in public and as against it I have expressed them over here.

SO WAKE UP PEOPLE AND DO SOMETHING FOR OUR COUNTRY AND NO HUNGER STRIKE.

Books are our best friends. I love reading and I have been inspired many a times by books. Though i read all types of books and magazines, there are some which have inspired me the most. In School, I used to pick up books from library. I started reading children's books by Enid Blyton and slowly graduated to reading all types of books. Some have really entertained me. Some have consoled me like a friend while some have made me cry too. Here are some which have touched a chord in my heart and I can never forget these :-

Casts in Andhra Pradesh

No comments on “Casts in Andhra Pradesh”

Culture and civilization are mutually dependent. Culture is that complex whole encompasses belief, faith, customs and traditions of a people. India is a melting pot of many cultures and religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism and Islam. People of these religions have lived together displaying mutual respect, peace and harmony over the centuries. Mostly, the ancient Aryans and the medieval Muslims have influenced our culture. Materialism took precedence during the British rule.

When a society is driven by dogmatic caste and religious feelings, it remains shackled. Acceptance and magnanimity are required in all community and inter personal relationships, since all of us are interdependent.

Informal relationships are under serve pressure too in the modern competitive world. Unhealthy competition merely causes jealously and hatred. Today, the tradition of conservation is replaced by consumerism and materialism. In other words, we have become destroyers of both our cultural and natural resources.

Castes- backward class

Traditionally, castes played an important role in promotion of traditions around preservation of natural resources. Even in this modern age, castes play a pivotal role in social, political and economic matters. There is a change in the states of scheduled castes and backward classes in the state especially for those who are educated and have modernized their traditional crafts. This has ushered in their social, economic and political progress.

In our state, as an agrarian society, we had traditions which conserved natural resources. With modernization, however, traditional customs developed by conservative harvesting of natural resources are losing their importance. This is leading to rapid depletion and degradation of resources. For instance, traditionally fishermen used to release very small fish back into the water allowing replenishing of the life form. They used to harvest only big fish. Now mechanized fishing is ruthless I its fish catching methods, depleting the replacement capacity of the species. This is affecting the sustainability of aquaculture tradition.

Andhra Pradesh is the fifth most populated state in India. In per sq km density of population, it is the seventh. Nearly 276 persons live per sq km in our state. Now, the population of Andhra Pradesh is eight crore with an annual increasing of 12 lakh persons. The sex-ratio is 978 females for 1000 males, compared to an all –India average of 933: 1000.

The growth of population in Andhra Pradesh was 2.1% between 1961 and 1991. By 2001, it has come down significantly to 1.3%.

Birth rate and death rate

Before 1920, the death-rate in the country was very high due to high incidence of cholera, plague, influenza and other such diseases. As health services improved, the death-rate fell below the birth –rate and population increased enormously. With better health facilities the average life span in Andhra Pradesh now stands at 64.

Religious composition

According to the 2001 census Hindus in Andhra Pradesh comprised 89% Muslims 9.6% and Christians 2% of the population. Muslims form 26% in Hyderabad. Their percentage stands at 13% in Rayalaseema and 11% in Telangana most Christians in the state live in Guntur, waste Godavari and Krishna districts. Each religion has traditions for promoting protection of natural resources. Modernization is replacing these traditions with those that damage natural resources like land, water and trees.

Population and division of labor

In Andhra Pradesh, as in the rest of the country, it is believed that this caste system evolved on a purely economic basic for the division of labor and efficient use of human and natural resources. But later on, it goes determined based on birth and became the root cause of economic and social differences.

Interestingly, the scheduled Tribes in Andhra Pradesh have a wide variety in their occupations. The Cenchus are hunters and the Gonds of the agency areas in the east have taken to dairying, focusing on goats and sheep along with farming.

Shifting cultivation is found among the Savaras and Jaatavas of Srikakulam and Vijayanagar, the Khonds, konda Doars, Kotiyas, Bhagathas, Porjas, Gadbas and Valmiki of Visakhapatnam, and the Konda Reddis of Khammam, west Godavari and East Godavari districts. In some areas the Lambadas are cultivating medicinal herbs such as pippals and sarpagandi. The Konda Reddis, Erukalas, Koyas and Chenchus, are weavers too.

Among the tribes of south India, the Badagas, Todas and Kurumbas had strong economic cooperation within their tribes. Similarly, the Asuras would barter ploughs for food with the Burmaans. In the Raj Mahal Hills, the Badagas depended on the Maler Santhals for their food grains. In turn, the Santhals would depend on them for sugarcane and forecast produce. This mutual dependence ensured that the people did not exploit nature by taking more than what was required, and natural resources were protected.

 

 

 

 

Know About Your Home Improvements

Home improvement plan is necessary to eliminate a large number of practical issues. This does not mean that we should ignore the fun part!

The first is to design improvements in the department of practical issues. The second thing you need to talk to family members, is the fun part.

Most people have to make these colors as the colors. The things that interest them and what is not. Bring your family to talk about these things. People are sleeping or sitting, should be the preferences and interests.

A boy, green, loves football, hiking, and success in May Sage (neutral as in many shades of green if re-sale home is a concern) room with cream wood, interior shutters cream and cream ceiling . Posters and framed by scenes of the desert can be beautiful football.

Reason Rustic Bedding (rows of pine model?) From LL Bean or Plow and the house would be very useful to a contact or two bright colors like red or yellow to add to employment.

You do not have an office in your bedroom? Drawer? A shelf? Will be eligible? Although small, most rooms have at least three lamps so that the general lighting, and more. The shades are usually best in warm and neutral colors. (For the light greens tend to be regarded as ill.) Shade and connectors should be right on the wall, so it is not visible. If the lower edge of the bright colors in a room at the same height from the ground, the room tends to look serene and supportive.

Hanging pictures usually better if the bottom of the box the same height from the ground with others. There are exceptions to this rule, and every generalization of course. A group of photos you can track the status of the baseline, and later, all other images. A photo of a fireplace often looks good higher than the other pictures in the room.

Pictures usually look better than furniture or architectural feature. Center images in a cage, bed, bookshelf, or fireplace are good examples.

If you do not have the images tend to look good when the scattered willy-nilly, or a position near the ceiling (if not) belong to a group, or the amount that hang in various wild does not make sense and reason.

A girl who loves pink, ballet and swimming may be the cream of wood, like his brothers, while the walls are light pink (pink with a hint of yellow, are generally well with cream) and work that reflects their interests. If you like reading, make sure you have a good reading lamp near the bed or near a comfortable chair, or both.

A wheel powder pink striped cream widely separated tables and a quilted pink cover may be green, yellow and blue on a cream background is beautiful.

Peas creamy pink fabric with great signs and ill bet shell smile.

The main goal is to have fun with some simple home improvements. No need to search only in practical terms.
