While intellectual practices always take place within a definite socio-cultural context, disciplinary histories and practices have overlapped with the territorial boundaries of nation-states in South Asia. As a result, the disciplinary history of India, for example, appears to have no relation with that of any other country in the region. Believing that disciplinary histories, even while engaging with the local and the national, are influenced by larger regional forces, Sociology and Social Anthropology in South Asia calls for a more complete understanding of history and culture in the region, over time and at specific moments. In the various chapters, sociologists and social anthropologists from Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan show how social anthropology and sociology have worked as well as collapsed in South Asia, and how a more inclusive research agenda for this intellectually connected region can be imagined. The authors explore the nature and scope of the disciplines emerging in each context; evaluate the relationship between sociology and social anthropology within a historical framework; and focus on the contemporary status of the disciplines, given the increasing thrust towards development objectives and agendas set by NGOs in each country.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. Luni Basin: Geo-morphology. 3. Luni Basin: Climate. 4. Luni Basin: Stream Flow Characteristics. 5. Land Use Land Cover of Luni Basin. 6. Physical Habitat Characteristics. 7. Physico-chemical Water Quality Status. 8. Ichthyofaunal Diversity. 9. Ecosystem Services: Luni River. 10. Conservation and Management. Glossary. References. River Luni originates from the Aravalli ranges in Pushkar Valley near Ajmer in Rajasthan and after traversing a course of 511 km in Rajasthan state, it finally dissipates in the marshy land of Rann of Kutch, Gujarat state. This river forms the bulk of the Indian arid zone and is known as the 'Maruganga of Thar Desert' in western Rajasthan. The word "Luni" means salt, derived from Lavanaravi or Lavanavati, which means salt river in Sanskrit. The river water of Luni is saline, especially in the mid and downstream sections. As this is an ephemeral river, therefore flows only for 3-4 months during the monsoon season. The flow of river entirely depends upon the rainfall in the origin and catchment area. The total basin catchment area of Luni is 70202.58 km2 (India-WRIS) and it is bounded by the Ganga River Basin in the east, Shekhawati River Basin in the north, the Sabarmati and West Banas River in the south and the Thar Desert on the west side of the basin. The left bank drainage of the river Luni is more extensive than on the right bank. The entire basin lies inside Rajasthan and extends over parts of Ajmer, Barmer, Jalore, Jodhpur, Nagaur, Pali, Rajsamand, Sirohi and Udaipur districts. The systematic investigations of aquatic fauna and resources of the Indian arid region in a chronological way show that the ichthyofaunal diversity of Thar Desert region is an admixture of the Himalayas (western), the Aravalli hills, Peninsular India and the components of Middle East. The Luni River provides multiple ecosystem services, which are considered a key to attaining sustainable development in the region. It supports the livelihood of dependent local community by acting as a water source for consumption, agriculture and sustaining the biodiversity in the Thar Desert region of India. …
