    In chapter two I had read about the emergence of civilization in India and the Harappan society. Approximately four thousand years ago the Aryan people moved southward which were settled in central Asia before. India has and still is country of diversity the religions Buddhism and Hinduism started in India. Also India is home to some of the highest mountains on earth which are the Himalaya and Karakoram mountain ranges. The Harappan civilization shared some of the cultures of Nile valley and Mesopotamia. The people of Harappan civilization had lived in small villages and settled in small red mud-brick homes. The people of the harappan civilization were raised on mostly agriculture which meant that barley, wheat and rice were their only crops. They were also the first to work with cotton seeds. The Harappan people started a trading network with the country Sumer. They would exchange lumber and copper for textiles and foodstuffs these products were imported by ships but rarely by land. Although the Harappan civilization came to an end in 1500 b.c.e. which is still a mystery to this day. The remains of the Harappan civilization were later destroyed by the Aryans which who were nomads that came from the north. The Aryans had arrived there around the second millennium. They were also the first to invent the horse-drawn chariots which gave them an advantage with their lives. Than in 1500 and 1000 b.c.e. the Aryans moved to the northern part of India. The Aryan people were intelligent they managed to create their own writing system that was based on the Aramaic script. Most Aryan groups were led by a chief which than was called a raja or a “prince”. That’s why India is still known as a diversity country till this…

    Large city centres in developing countries are a phenomenon in expansion. The combination of high population densities, the nature increase of populations, and a rising rural-urban migration are creating an urban landscape that is tainted with poverty, violence, and social issues. Urbanization as a global phenomenon, is greatly affecting the way many people live in the 21st century. In fact, by the year 2050 70% of the world would have already been urbanized (Population Reference Bureau, 2007). Urban development in the developing cities of the world are influenced by this idea, as many developing cities are becoming overcrowded and do not have the infrastructure available to support their citizens. Unavailable infrastructure and a high cost of living are putting the urban poor at jeopardy (Barke et al, 2001). The slum neighbourhoods are where many low-income urban dwellers find their place to live. 'Shanty' towns continue to affect the level of urbanization in developing countries, where a deceptive image of this social process becomes questionable. To get a grasp of this migration, it is poverty and the unavailable access to basic life services (healthcare, water, education, and electricity) that have led to significant migration from the rural environments to large urban centres (Perlman, 2004). Many developing cities are dealing with a large influx of migration that is increasing the overall population and expanding city limits. It must be emphasized that informal settlements are being uncontrollably created, and the people living there, are often found working for low-paying informal jobs, yet largely ignored by their government.…

The overarching problem this study tries to address is the question why the wild-fire of protest spreads in some regions, while in others it is either doused living behind a dying ember or perceived not as a fire but as a well spring of hope. What can explain the regional differences in public responses to SEZ?…

    In this paper, we have tried to analyze the impact of environmental regulation on the production and the quality status of manufacturing industries across Indian states. This is done to discern the effect of environmental regulation on the competitiveness of the industries across Indian states. Using Ordinary Least Squares we check for the impact of investment in pollution control and status of environmental regulation on the production of manufacturing across Indian states, thereafter, we check for the impact of these variables on the acquisition of quality status certification by the manufacturing units. The quality status certificate considered for the purpose is the ISO9000 certificate which is given to those factories, which take up all round measures in their industrial projects for quality maintenance. We have used the state-wise ASI 1997-1998 which gives the data for investment in pollution control as well as the data for ISO9000 certified units for the Indian states. Percentage of factories taken up pollution abatement facilities, percentage of capital investment of the total capital investment for pollution control and percentage of running expense of the total running expense for pollution control is used to construct a dummy variable which indicates the status of environmental regulation in a state. The OLS regression results reveal that investment in pollution control negatively affects the production of manufacturing but positively contributes to the acquisition of quality status certification by the manufacturing units in the states. Moreover, states with effective environmental…

    The British controlled both Mysore and Madras for a brief time amidst the nineteenth century. Amid their administration, various arrangements were drawn up for the usage of the Kaveri waters by both states. In any case, the dry spell and resulting starvation in the mid-1870s put a limit on the usage of these arrangements. The arrangements were resuscitated by Mysore in 1881, by which time Mysore was back in the hands of the Mysore rulers, while present day Tamil Nadu kept on remaining a piece of the Madras Presidency.…

    Regional character is a necessary property of any authentic architecture. As all buildings form part of a concrete “here” they cannot be alike every¬where, but have to embody the particular qualities of the given place. From ancient times this quality has been recognized as the genius loci and historical buildings normally had a distinct “local flavour." Architecture thus helped-man to identify the "spirit of the place" and offered him a sense of belonging.…
