Jharkhand : At a Glance

Situated in the eastern India, Jharkhand is surrounded by Bihar to the north, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh to the west, Odisha to the south, and West Bengal to the east.

The state covers a geographical area of 79.70 Lakh Hect. Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Dhanbad, Bokaro, Sindri, Deogarh, and Hazaribagh are some of the main cities and tourist attractions of the state.

The 28th state of the Indian Union was brought into existence by the Bihar reorganization Act on 15th November , 2000 the birth anniversary of the legendary Bhagwan Birsa Munda.

Jharkhand is famous for its rich mineral resources like Uranium, Mica, Bauxite, Granite, Gold, Silver, Graphite, Magnetite, Dolomite, Fireclay, Quartz, Fieldspar, Coal (32% of India), Iron, Copper

(25%of India) etc. Forests and woodlands occupy more than 29% of the state which is amongst the highest in India.

Birth of The State

The region enshrouded in the hills and forests inaccessible to a large segment of people. The tribes of this state are living here from thousands of years and not much changed in their life and culture over the ages baring last few decades.

Many scholars now believe that the language used by tribes in the state of Jharkhand is identical to the one used by Harappan people. This has led to a great interest in the deciphering of Harappan inscriptions using rock paintings and language used by these tribes.

For a greater part of Vedic age, Jharkhand remained obscured. During the age of Mahajanpadas around 500 BC, India saw the emergence of 16 large states who controlled the entire Indian subcontinent.

The supremacy of the Janpadas were often decided by the power of swords and bows and ax and other weapons.

The region around Jharkhand was extremely rich in its mineral resources including iron and the janpad that controlled this region, Magadha, eventually controlled most of the country.

The power of Magadha continued to occupy central state in Indian subcontinent for a long time and saw the emergence of mighty empires such as Mauryas and Guptas.

After the end of last big Hindu empire of Guptas, India saw emergence of a number of numerous regional powers who tried to control this region. Same was the case with Muslim Sultans of Delhi and their feudatories in Bengal, who tried to control this mineral rich area.

Trend Analysis

British identified this region as a great source of raw material for their booming industries back home and to exploit the region to its full potential, established a vast network of railway line. Calcutta was developed as a major port to export raw materials from this region to England.

Birsa Munda (1875-1900) and Sidho and Kanho are the legendary heroes of the tribals of this state who fought against the oppressive rule of the British government. Birsa Munda, now regarded as god, fought for the tribals natural right over forests and land that was mercilessly being acquired by the British for exploitation.

After a long fight, Birsa Munda was captured by the British authorities and died in prison. Sidho

and Kanho were another set of revolutionaries among the tribals, now regarded as a tribal heroes. For a long time, Jharkhand remained as a part of Bihar, but after Indian independence, the demand

for a separate state of tribals started gaining momentum. In the last fifty years, the tribes of this region fought against the hegemony of Northern Bihar, a

region that gained from the mineral deposits of this region like anything.

30 Jharkhand Administrative Systems of Tribes


Nagvanshi : Adminstrative System

Nagvanshi system of governance started in the first century and King 'Phanimukut Rai’ was the first ruler of this system.

This governance system was established after Munda Raj. Phani Mukut Rai established Sutiyambe as his capital.

The Nagavanshi rulers tried to expand it more by making favorable changes in the Munda system of governance. During this reign, the land-system, tax-system and governance of the former continued to operate.

After a long period of time, the change in Nagavanshi regime is reflected due to the invasion of the Mughals. As a result of this change, the Mughal army started taking Nazrana (a kind of tax) from the Nagavanshi kings, which was later established as a regular system and known as Malgujari.

In this system of administration, tax was not collected from the common ryots. As a result, the tax burden of the entire state fell on the Nagvanshi regime. In order to reduce this burden, the Nagavanshi kings started collecting tax (Malguzari) from the general public and the responsibility of collecting it was given to the chief Maanki of Paraha. To these standards

Under Nagvanshi rule, it was called Bhuihar. Later, the Nagvanshi kings set up separate vassals to settle Malgujari. Malgujari used to be given

only by them when demanded by the Mughal emperors. This irregular goodsmanship was called Nazrana (offering).

For the regular collection of tax during the British rule, a permanent settlement system was implemented in 793 AD and Nagavanshi kings were made landlords. Thus the Jagirdari system of the former turned into the Zamindari system.

With the implementation of this system, Nagvanshi government system came to an end and a new type of English governance system was established in its place.

Parha : Adminstrative SystemIt is mainly related to the governance system of the Oraon tribe. This system of governance

is similar to Munda tribe. Important position, organizations and facts about Parha Panchayat Adminstrative System are as follows: -

Munda, Uraon, Ho are tribes of later period. Korwa tribe belong to a period between these two

phases.

Thus the chronological order of Tribes is – Khadiya, Birhor, Asur, Korwa, Munda, Uraon, Ho, Chero,

Kharwar, Bhumij, Santhal

Khadiya and Birjhor perhaps entered Chotanagpur through the hills of Kaimur. Like Virajiya and

asur Khadiya are among the initial tribes to enter Chotanagpur The period and path of immigration of the munds tribe is unknown. According to the munda

traditions, after the expansion of Aryans they came to Rohtas and later to Chotanagpur. Subsequenty the Mundas laid the foundation of the histroical Naga dynasty. The people belonging to the uraon tribe were perhaps the inhabitants of south India, Who has

migrated to many places before reaching Chotanagpur.

One of two branches of oraon settled near Rajmahal. The people belonging to the other branch settled in palamu and the remaining came to Chotanagpur

By 1000 BC, almost all tribes except chero, Kharwar and Santhal had settled in Chotanagpur region

The word Jharkhand was used for the tribal regions of chotanagpur for the first time in the medieval period. The first reference of the name Jharkhand comes from a 13th century copper plate In this period it evolved as a distinct geographical entity.

In the beginning of the medieval period there were many small Hindu and Proto-Hindu states, among which Naga dynasty of Kokra, Raksel of Palamu, Singh dynasty of Singhbhum and Man dynasty of Manbhum were most important

In the medieval period numerous tribal sates emerged in Chotanagpur, among which state of Chero tribe was most important.

Cheros had replaced Raksel to establish their rulein palamu. Among the other tribal states of this period,

those of Kharwar, oraon, Bhar etc. are important.

Apart from these other small states of this period included Surapura, Palamu, Sonpura, Kund etc.

establish his control over the fort of Bigha . As a result the Santhals belonging to that place fled along with their chief.

Firoz shah Tughlaq attacked Hazaribagh of chotanagpur and established his control over a large region near satgaon. He established his administration in the conquered areas, with satgaon as its capital

The Tughlaqs and lodhis could not proceed beyond satgaon because they had to face the powerful rulers of Naga dynasty

In 1530 AD, khawas khan, the general of shershah suri defeated the chero king Maharath Chero and he received a white elephant named Shyam Sundar among the other things plundered by him.

During his struggle against Humanyu, Shershah used this region in his numerous campaigns White establishing his control over Bengal, Shershah used the route though Teliagarhi in Rajmahal hills.

Jharkhand : Literature and Writers

Jharkhand various languages, literature,

art, painting art, drama, folklore, are present in its prime culture with all its diversities. Regional diversity has played a great role in it. Though, wide mixture and distinction is seen when it came to the contact of external culture but in some areas it is still intact. On the basis of language, there are three main languages in the state which have different dialects. The three main families of these languages are:

Indo-Aryan

Angika

Dravidian

Nagpuri (Sadri)

Scholars have different opinions on the origin of Nagpuri literature. Sir George Abraham Grierson, in his book, 'The Linguistic Survey of India', has described Nagpuri language as a sub-dialect of Bhojpuri language. Professor Kesari Kumar Singh, in his article ̀ Nagpuri Bhasha evam Sahitya' described that just like Magadhi and Maithili, Nagpuri language is a definite language derived from Magadhi.

Dr. Shravan Kumar Goswami, in his research work 'Nagpuri Shisht Sahitya', considered Nagpuri as the 'Auras' child of the Indo-Aryan family and it is believed to be originated from Ardhmagadhi. Nagpuri language is mostly spoken in Ranchi, Lohardaga, Gumla, Simdega, Singhbhum, Latehar in Jharkhand and Jaspur Sarguja, Korwa in Chhatisgarh and Sundargarh, Keonjhar and Baripada districts of Orissa. It is also being spoken in the tea gardens of Assam.

Nagpuri folk culture is rich in folk songs, folk tales, riddles and literature. Nagpuri has the abundance of Bangla mixed Nagpuri and typical Nagpuri folk songs. If compared, Nagpuri folk-tales appears to he similar to Vedas narrations, Jataka tales, Kathasarit Sagar, Baital Pachisi, Singhasan Battisi, Hitopdesh and Panchatantra etc. in Nagpuri urban literature songs, poetry, stories, novel, drama, essay. edition etc., and all these literary genres are burn. Raghunath Nripati is considered as the first poet of Nagpuri language. In the first tradition, apart from Raghunath Nripati, Hanuman Singh, Barjuram, Jai Govind, Ghasi Ram, Mahant Ghasi, Kanchan etc. are also considered. Nagpuri prose literature is believed to be developed by the Christian missionaries around 1900 B.C. E.H. Whitley introduced Nagpuri Grammar for the first time in 'Notes on the Gangwari Dialect of Lohardaga,

Art and Culture 3.3

The cultural mosaic of Jharkhand was dreamt about, shaped and polished by generations of communities, which have inhabited this land since time immemorial. From the legendary Asurs and Santhals, to the Banjara, Bihor, Chero, Gond, Ho, Khond, lohra, Mal Pahariya, Munda, Oraon, Kol or

Kawarover thirty-two tribal groups (28 % of the total population of the state), have left their impression on the culture of the region.

Along with the cross-cultural influences of local non-tribal communities and successive waves of Buddhism and Jainism, Mughal rule and the reign of the Hindu emperors of Bengal

have contributed to the culture of Jharkhand. Art historians ascribe the ‘oldest cave

paintings’ in India, the “scroll paintings” to a Jharkhand tribe known as the Shabars.

It is an established fact that Stone Age tools discovered in Hazaribagh district and axes and spearheads found in the Chaibasa area, are remnants of a civilization dating back a few thousand years. 10,000 to 30,000 years old rock paintings, paintings in huge caves in the Sati hills and other indicators of ancient, even pre-historic, human settlements are found in profusion.

The people of Jharkhand have their unique and specific types of dance and music styles. The most popular dances of Jharkhand include Jhumar, Paika, Chhou, Agni, Santhal, Nachni, Jamda, Ghatwari, Natwa, Choukara, Sohrai, Lurisayro, and Matha.

These dance forms are very graceful, rhythmic and attractive, and are heavily accompanied by the drum beats and the songs or music.

Dance forms echo warrior-like movements of battles fought long ago, for the men. Observations of animal and bird behaviour are also blended into the dancing, sometimes light and airy, sometimes heavy and solemn, as the mood demands.

Everyday activities of womenfolk—working in the fields, in the forests, in their homes, all reflect themselves in dance forms like the timeless Chhau, which requires agility, suppleness and skilful hand movements. The Seraikela school of Chhau is held during the Sun Festival. It is

Social and Cultural Status

Social Organisation The social structure of the tribes may be roughly divided into seven different types. This division

is based on the different types of units found in a tribe and the nature of their interrelations. The most important function of these units is regulation of marriage.

In an amorphous stage, the tribe is generally endogamous but not invariably so. Marriage outside the tribe is not uncommon. The tribe here is divided into a number of groups based on locality which may extend over a wide area or may be restricted to a village. These are called 'local groups'. The local group is neither strictly exogamous nor endogamous but rather agamous. Each local group again is divided into a number of families, marriage within which is regarded as incestuous and therefore strictly prohibited. The endogamous tribes are divided into a

number of exogamous clans, each of which is again divided into a number of families. The Mundas of Jharkhand may be cited as a good example of this variety.

In Jharkhand, as far as ethnographic records show, an overwhelming majority of tribes are organised on clan-basis. The clan generally has a name which is either totemic

or eponymous. Totemic names are more in evidence in Chota Nagpur, Orissa, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, etc. Eponymous names occur mostly in Assam. Totemic names are taken generally from birds, animals, fishes, plants, trees, heavenly bodies, and even inanimate objects.

The clan is not associated with any

geographical territory. In most of the tribes different clans reside in the same village and the same clan may be found scattered over the entire tribal habitat. Inspite of this we can find some direct association between clan and territory. The members of a clan regard themselves to be related by blood. They trace their descent from a common ancestor or ancestress who is more often a fictitious person.

A clan is usually split up into a number of lineages or into families where the concept of lineage does not exist. We have already indicated the difference between lineage and clan. The members

state. This state consists of 3.29 cr. population, its rural population is more than 70%.

Most of them are dependent on agriculture

and total agriculture land is 38 lacs hectares.

Out of the total area of 79,714 square kilometers. Only forty percent of the land is

fertile and assured irrigation is available in 2

lacs hectares.

The average rainfall of the state is 300-1400 mm which is received in four months from June to September.

The state needs 46 lakhs metric tons of foods grains but only half of this is produced in the state. The per capital availability of food grains in Jharkhand is only 230 grams per day against 523 grams

per day at the All India Level. Estimating the food grain requirement as 480 grams per day, as per the current production Jharkhand.

geographical area of the state. Kharif is the main cropping season for Jharkhand. Kharif crops are

grown on about 28 lakh hectares and Rabi crops are grown on about 11 lakh hectares of land. Agriculture, mainly rain-fed in the state is dependent on the south west monsoon. Though the average rainfall in the state is high, between 1200 to 1300 millimetres (mm), but it is confined to four months of rainy season and is erratic in terms of timing, precipitation and intensity. About 20 percent of the net sown area has assured irrigation while the potential is to irrigate about 30% of the net sown area. The irrigation coverage thus is low and the state still has to realise its full irrigation potential. The cropping intensity of the state, as a result, is only 126%. The seed replacement rate for the state of Jharkhand was 15%.

The two dams were to be connected by a 34.7km canal. To facilitate power generation, permission was given for the construction of four large power houses and two smaller ones, capable of generating 710MW daily.

The project became a non-starter following opposition from tribals who feared large-scale social and cultural displacement. The project was formally shelved in 2003 following intense nrotests by the local population.

Climate Change

Environmental Protection and Climate Change Climate change has taken dangerous proportions and has became a global challenge in recent

times. People are experiencing significant impacts of climate change, which include changing weather patterns, rising sea level, and more extreme weather events.

The greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are driving climate change which continues to get worse. They are now at their highest levels in history.

Affordable, scalable solutions are now available to enable countries to leapfrog to cleaner, more resilient economies. The pace of change is quickening as more people are turning to renewable energy and a range of other measures that will reduce emissions and increase adaptation efforts.

Given the magnitude of threat to human life flora and fauna, the UN has adopted “climate action”

as one of the 17 sustainable development goals.

Some Facts About Climate Change and its Impact From 1880 to 2012, average global temperature has increased by 0.85°C. To put this into

perspective, for each 1 degree of temperature increase, grain yields decline by about 5 percent. Maize, wheat and other major crops have experienced significant yield reductions at the global level of 40 megatons per year between 1981 and 2002 due to a warmer climate.

Oceans have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished and sea level has risen. From 1901 to 2010, the global average sea level rose by 19 cm as oceans expanded due to warming and ice melted. The Arctic’s sea ice extent has shrunk in every successive decade since 1979, with 1.07 million km² of ice loss every decade

Given current concentrations and on-going emissions of greenhouse gases, it is likely that by the end of this century, the increase in global temperature will exceed 1.5°C compared to 1850 to 1900 for all but one scenario. The world’s oceans will warm and ice melt will continue. Average sea level rise is predicted at 24 – 30cm by 2065 and 40-63cm by 2100. Most aspects of climate change will persist for many centuries even if emissions are stopped.

Global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) have increased by almost 50 percent since 1990 Emissions grew more quickly between 2000 and 2010 than in each of the three previous decades. It is still possible, using a wide array of technological measures and changes in behaviour, to limit the increase in global mean temperature to two degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.

Jharkhand has a high concentration of tribal population which is as high as 26% who are primarily rural with rain and climate dependent agriculture as their main source of sustenance.

The social dimensions of climate change can be far reaching impacting the income generation capacities, health education access, gender balance, distress migration, social conflicts and the food and employment prospects of these tribal communities. The first actionable strategy on climate change impact mitigation is creating awareness. As part of this strategy a SWOT analysis is being prepared.

Judiciary 5.2

High Court can be formed as per the procedure prescribed in Article 214, 216, and 217 of the Constitution of India.

Article 214 provides that every State shall have a High Court, however, Article 231 states that Article 214 shall not be a bar for constituting a common high court for two or more States.

Although, only Parliament may by law establish a Common High Court for two or more States. This means that, unless Parliament by law establishes a Common High Court for two or more

States, every State has to have a High Court, i.e., upon formation of a new State a new High Court is also formed.

A circuit bench of the Patna High Court was established at Ranchi with effect from 6th March, 1972 under clause 36 of the Letter Patent of that High Court. The bench was established to meet the needs of the Adivasi Population of the Chota Nagpur area in erthswhile State of Bihar.

The Circuit bench was made Permanent Bench of Patna High Court, by Act no. 57 of 1976, by High Court at Patna (Establishment of Permanent Bench AT Ranchi) Act 1976 with effect from 8th April 1976.

The Jharkhand High Court came into existence after reorganization of state of Bihar in existing state of Bihar and Jharkhand on 15th November 2000.

The Jharkhand High court is apex body of the judiciary in the state. Initially strength of Judges of High court was 7 later it was raised to 12.

The present strength of judges in Jharkhand High Court, is 14 including one Chief Justice. The President of India appointed chief Justice of High court in consultation with chief Justice of the Supreme court of India and Governor of the state. In the appointment of the other Judges the opinion of Chief Justice is also taken. The Chief Justice of Supreme Court also makes recommendation with two senior most Judges of the Supreme court.

Jurisdiction of High Court

Original Jurisdiction In some matters cases can be directly filed in the High Courts, not by the appeal this is called the

original jurisdiction of the High Court. Like Supreme Court, high court has original jurisdiction in matters of enforcement of fundamental

rights. It has original jurisdiction in matters related to admiralty, will, marriage, divorce, company laws

and contempt of court. It also has similar jurisdiction in matters related to election of MPs and MLAs.

Under Article 226, the High Court shall have the power issue any person or authority, directions, orders or writs in nature of Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Prohibition, Quo Warranto and Certiorari or any of them for the enforcement of any of the fundamental rights and for any other purpose.

C.N.T. Act and S.P.T. Act 5.4

Land Rules : At a Glance

During the British rule, the British made a conspiracy to bring the administrative system under their rule by making different kinds of laws. The main objective of the British government was to increase its revenue. In the same sequence, using the courts started auctioning the land of the local zamindars, jagirdars and raiyats. Zamindars and jagirdars started collecting revenue with strictness to avoid auction. As a result; The situation of the ryots worsened. In this situation, in the absence of any other alternative, the ryots revolted against the British and the landlords.

The Kol rebellion of 1831-32 AD and Birsa Ulagulan of 1895-900 AD are prominent among these revolts. As a result of these rebellions, it was felt by the British that it was not possible to conduct the administration in a peaceful manner without resolving the tribal problems.

In order to solve these problems of tribals (in which land related problems are most important), the government has made several reforms from time to time. In this sequence, in 862, under the leadership of Babu Rakhaldas Haldhar, Bhuihari Survey was started to identify the Bhuhari land and the Majestic land of the local landlords, which lasted till 1869 AD. This was the first commendable and effective step taken by the government to preserve the land of tribes.

Some other important steps taken by the government in this process are as follows:

Chhotanagpur Territory Act - 1869 Chotanagpur Landlord and Tenancy

Procedures Act - 1879

Bengal Tenancy Act - 1897 Commencement of Maujawar Survey in

Chhotanagpur in 1902. Under this, khevats and judges were made.

Formation of the Chhotanagpur Tenancy Act in 1903.

Chhotanagpur Tenancy Act – 1908 Santhal Pargana Tenancy Act - 1949

Chhotanagpur Territory Act - 1869

In Chontanagpur, there are landmines named after Bhuihari. It is held by people who consider themselves descendants of the indigenous people who set up the villages where such land is located.

Some of the landforms in the villages are known as "Bhootkhet", "Dalkitari" and "Pahanai". This land is kept separately for the 'Pahan' or priest, so that he can perform his duties.

Separate land is also kept for the "Mahato" of the village, which is known as 'Mahatoi'.

Some lands are kept separately in the village under the name 'Manjhihas', which are reserved for the use of their respective owners of those villages. Also, there are lands called 'Batkhet', which are fixed for the remuneration of the village working on the manjihs lands.

Under the wording of this Act, the terms 'bhuihari' define the words 'Bhootkhet', 'Dalikatari', 'Pahanai' and 'Mahatoi'.

Functions of a Special Commissioner: It shall be the duty of every appointed Special Commissioner that if a person claims 'Bhuhari'

Economy

After the drought of the year 2015-16 and consequent dip in its economic growth, the economy has bounced back to the phase of high growth rate.

The average annual growth rate (AAGR) for the last three years (2016-17 to 2018-19) has been 8.2 per cent. Last year it grew at the rate of 6.7 per cent and in the current financial year, it is estimated to grow at the rate of 6.8 per cent.

The state has made a commendable progress so far as other indicators of development are also concerned.

The real Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) of Jharkhand is estimated to grow by 6.8 per cent and the nominal GSDP1 by 10.4 per cent in the current financial year (2018-19).

The state economy has almost grown at a steady rate for the last two years. In 2017-18 the growth in its real and nominal GSDP was 6.7 per cent and 10.2 per cent, respectively.

The growth rates in these two years have moderated after a high growth experienced in the year 2016-17.

In 2016-17 the real and nominal GSDP grew at the rate of 11.2 per cent and 14 per cent. respectively. The real and the nominal GSDP, thus, has grown at the average annual rate of 8.2 per cent and 11.5

per cent, respectively, in the last three years. The Gross State Value Added at basic prices (GSVA)2 at constant prices has grown at an annual

rate of 8.9. 6.5 and 6.6 per cent respectively in the last three years, that is, in the years 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19.

The per capita income at constant prices in these three years (2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19) has grown at 9.4, 5.0 and 5.1 per cent respectively.

The real GSDP of Jharkhand is estimated to be 2,21,587 crore and the real GSVA at basic prices is estimated to be 1,82,893 crore in the financial year 2018-19.

The GSDP and GSVA, thus, are estimated to have grown by about 47 per cent and 40 per cent respectively and per capita income by about 32 per cent in the last seven years.
