Ethnic, Linguistics and Religious Composition of India by Atula AhujaAtula Ahuja
The document discusses the ethnic, linguistic, and religious composition of India. It describes how the first humans migrated out of Africa around 85,000 years ago through India. India has acted as an incubator for early genetic differentiation of modern humans. The document outlines the major ethnic groups that migrated to India - Negrito, Australoid, Dravidian, Mongoloid, and Indo-Aryan groups. It also describes the major language families found in India and how India displays high linguistic diversity with over 6,000 mother tongues recorded. Recent genetic studies have discredited the Aryan invasion theory and shown that present-day Indians are a mix of Ancient North and South Indian ancestry.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. Our Ancestors
The majority of India is a mixture between Indo-Aryan/ Dravidian. The
researchers showed that most Indian populations are genetic admixtures of
two ancient, genetically divergent groups, which each contributed around 40-
60% of the DNA to most present-day populations. One: genetically similar to
Middle Eastern, Central Asian and European populations. The other lineage
was not close to any group outside the subcontinent, and was most common
in people indigenous to the Andaman Islands, a remote archipelago in the Bay
of Bengal.
Researchers say that:
Assamese are the descendants of the ethnic Tai people“ and use a lot of
Japanese words.
Goans have ancestors from Africa.
East Indians or East Indian Catholics have their origins as a Marathi speaking,
later Portuguese or Portuguese creole speaking, now predominantly English
speaking, Roman Catholic ethnic group, based in and around the city
of Mumbai (formerly Bombay) in the state of Maharashtra. These people are
of the original Marathi ethnic group and had been evangelized by
the Portuguese, while retaining much of their pre-Christian traditions.
The people from North India are said to be the descendants of Iranians.

6. Education System in India-Then
The main schools of Indian philosophy were formalized chiefly between
1000 BC to the early centuries AD. Indian philosophy is distinctive in its
application of analytical rigor to metaphysical problems and goes into very
precise detail about the nature of reality, the structure and function of the
human psyche and how the relationship between the two have important
implications for human salvation(moksha). The efforts by various schools
were concentrated on explaining this order and the metaphysical entity at
its source (Brahman). The concept of natural law (Dharma) provided a basis
for understanding questions of how life on earth should be lived.
The earliest Indian paintings were the rock paintings of pre-historic times,
the petroglyphs before 5500 BC.
A 'gurukul' is a type of school prevailed in ancient India, residential in

Nalanda housed 10,000 students in the university’s heyday and
providing accommodation for 2,000 professors. Nalanda University
attracted pupils and scholars from Korea, Japan, China, Tibet,
Indonesia, Persia and Turkey.
Education in India-Now
Indian value system keeps the teacher at the highest pedestal even today.
Education in India is provided by the public sector as well as the private sector, with control and funding
coming from three levels: central, state, and local. India has made progress in terms of increasing
the primary education attendance rate and expanding literacy to approximately three quarters of the
population.
The education system is divided into different levels such as pre-primary level, primary level, elementary
education, secondary education, undergraduate level and postgraduate level.The National Council of
Educational Research and Training (NCERT) is the apex body for curriculum related matters for school
education in India.
In India, the various curriculum bodies governing school education system are:
The state government boards, The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).,The Council for
the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE)., The National Institute of Open Schooling,
International schools affiliated to the International Baccalaureate Program, Islamic Madrasah
schools, Autonomous schools like Woodstock School, The Sri Aurobindo International Centre of
Education Puducherry, In addition, NUEPA (National University of Educational Planning and
Administration)and NCTE (National Council for Teacher Education) are responsible for the management of
the education system and teacher accreditation.

11. Indian Art
A strong sense of design is also characteristic of
Indian art and can be observed in its modern as
well as in its traditional forms.
Mughal painting in miniatures on paper
developed very quickly in the late 16th
century. Miniatures either illustrated books or
were single works for muraggas or albums of
painting.. "Sub-Mughal", included Kangra
Painting and Rajput Painting.
The rural, tribal and arts of the
nomads constitute the matrix of folk expression.
Examples of folk artists are Warli and Gond.
Warli Painting on Mud Wall and a Warli Print on a Saari
The Warli (a Maharashtrian tribe) uses only white for their paintings. Their white
pigment is a mixture of rice paste and water with gum as a binding. The walls
are made of a mixture of branches, earth and cow dung, making a red
ochre background for the wall paintings.
Indian art can be classified into specific periods each reflecting particular
religious, political and cultural developments.
•Ancient Period (3900 BCE -1200 CE)
•Islamic Ascendancy (1192-1757)
•Colonial Period (1757–1947)
•Independence and the Postcolonial period (Post-1947)

21. India Family culture is fascinating because it's very different from standard
western family culture. Family culture in India follows a patriarchal structure
wherein generations of a family often live under the same roof. A patriarch is a
family structure where the oldest male runs the house and calls the shots, even if
he is retired, no longer a bread winner and of older age. Essentially, boys and girls
are both taken care of by their parents from birth, and boys are often taken care of
until they are well into their twenties. Once married, a woman typically moves out
of their parents home and moves into the home of her spouses family.
Earlier only the male member used to be the bread winner but today the girls are
equally qualified and financially independent at least in urban families.
