Abstract:
In 1980, the Nilgiris of Tamil Nadu were chosen to be India's first biosphere reserve under the Man and the Environment program launched by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in an attempt to conserve for study examples of characteristic eco-systems from each of the world's natural regions. Scholastic interest from a broad spectrum of disciplines has turned, therefore, to the Nilgiris, and it has become apparent that although the Nilgiris have been studied extensively, anthropological attention has been uneven and parts of the region have been grossly understudied. The present paper intends to provide a foundation for filling this gap in the Nilgiri scholarship.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Nilgiri hill communities have for a long time been the focus of anthropological inquiry, though they have rarely been the focus of historical inquiry that delves more deeply into the past than the colonial period. And, while the fields of history and anthropology have moved beyond tropes of primitive and timeless, our studies of those formerly so-called ‘timeless primitives’ have remained stuck in time. I argue, therefore, for an interdisciplinary modified Subaltern Studies approach, integrating data from anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, and genetics, to develop alongue duréesocial history of the Nilgiri hills. For the Nilgiri communities, as with other tribal communities, narratives about their past have tended to emphasize their isolation until the modern period. In this article, drawing together data from several disciplines, I argue that the communities of the Nilgiris, especially the Toda, so frequently held up as examples of cultural isolation, were not truly isolated, neither from neighbouring tribal communities, nor from the states and empires of the plains below. I argue that the maintenance of distinctive religious, subsistence, and linguistic practices, despite contact with a wider world, is evidence of an active process of isolationist group formation/maintenance and resistance to other ways of being.

Abstract:
Eurema nilgiriensis Yata, 1990, the Nilgiri grass yellow, was described from Nilgiris in southern India. There are not many published records of this species since its original description, and it was presumed to be a high-elevation endemic species restricted to its type locality. Based on the external morphology (wing patterns) as well as the male genitalia, the first confirmed records of the species from Agasthyamalais and Kodagu in the southern Western Ghats, is provided here. This report is a significant range extension for the species outside the Nilgiris, its type locality. Ecological data pertaining to this species as well as the field identification key to all known Eurema of Western Ghats are also presented.

On 3 September 2016 at 15.30hr, we came across a dead snake on a rock in the Sigur (11.5312700N & 76.7697310E, elevation 945m) a rain-shadow area in the Nilgiris landscape, Tamil Nadu, India. This specimen is confirmed to be Platyceps bholanathi following major key characters with available literature. Our record is important because it not only significantly extends the range from earlier records but it is also the first report of this species from the Nilgiri Landscape. We believe that our present note will encourage further studies on this group.

Abstract:
Nilgiri tea is a mysterious, extremely pungent, fragrant, and flavoured tea grown in the southern portion of Southern India's Western Ghats. It is grown in the hills of Tamil Nadu's Nilgiri district, but there are numerous other tea-growing districts in South India, such as Munnar and Central Travancore in Kerala. In Nilgiri, many tea estates cultivate tea leaves with their employees. Most of the people in Nilgiri work as employees and workers in tea estates and indico factories. They pick tea daily, and the workers are happy in the estate. This study will determine how satisfied they are. This is a small attempt to know the welfare of the estate employees.

Abstract:
Phylogenetic conservatism or rapid anthropogenic habitat modifications could increase the incidences of interspecific associations of Hanuman and Nilgiri langurs (Family: Cercopithecidae, subfamily: Colobinae) in the southern Western Ghats. Opportunistic surveys were conducted at the Silent Valley National Park, Kerala and around Devimalai Ghats, Tamil Nadu for Tufted Grey-Nilgiri Langur association. Based on the observations from Researchers, field assistants, forest staff, and local people, the data in terms of the time of the sighting, number of individuals, phenotypes of individuals, and the time the interaction lasted, were recorded. The study reports data on a troop of Nilgiri Langurs (N=13) around O Valley tea estate at Devimalai Ghat, Gudalur, Tamil Nadu with some hybrid looking individuals and a Tufted female Grey Langur amongst them. A total of six and two uni-male troops of Nilgiri Langurs and grey langurs respectively with Tufted female Grey Langurs, and aberrant coat colored infants observed at the Neelikkal section of Silent Valley National Park are also reported. The study reasonably speculates that there could be more such locations in the southern western ghats and emphasizes the need for more systematic surveys to understand and explore the ecology, behavior, molecular, and other likely factors contributing to the conservation of vulnerable Nilgiri langur (Semnopithecus johnii) populations.

Abstract:
The Nilgiri tahr (Hemitragus hylocrius) is an endangered mountain ungulate endemic to the Western Ghats in South India. I studied the status and ecology of the Nilgiri tahr in the Mukurthi National Park, from January 1993 to December 1995. To determine the status of this tahr population, I conducted foot surveys, total counts, and a three-day census and estimated that this population contained about 150 tahr. Tahr were more numerous in the north sector than the south sector of the park. Age-specific mortality rates in this population were higher than in other tahr populations. I conducted deterministic computer simulations to determine the persistence of this population. I estimated that under current conditions, this population will persist for 22 years. When the adult mortality was reduced from 0.40 to 0.17, the modeled population persisted for more than 200 years. Tahr used grasslands that were close to cliffs (p <0.0001), far from roads (p <0.0001), far from shola forests (p <0.01), and far from commercial forestry plantations (p <0.001). Based on these criteria I mapped the suitability of tahr habitat using a GIS and estimated that only 20% of the park area had >50% chance of being used by tahr. I used the GIS to simulate several management options to improve the quality of tahr habitat. Suitable habitat for tahr increased two-fold when roads within the park were closed to vehicular access. Similarly, removal of commercial forestry plantations also resulted in a two-fold increase of suitable habitat, and finally when both road access was restricted and commercial forests were removed, suitable tahr habitat increased three-fold. I used micro-histological analysis on tahr fecal pellets to determine food habits. Grasses constituted 64.2% of their diet. Five plant species (Eulalia phaeothrix, Chrysopogon zeylanicus, Ischaemum rugosum, Andropogon sp., and Carex sp.) accounted for 84.6% of the tahr' diet. These species were found in higher densities in the grasslands of the north sector than the south sector of the park (p <0.001). Predators such as leopard (Panthera pardus) and tiger (Panthera tigris), killed and consumed tahr. Tahr constituted 56% of the leopards' diet and 6% of the tigers' diet. I estimated that leopards and tigers in the park killed and consumed 30 to 60 tahr per year, and this accounted for 19% to 38% of the tahr population. The tahr population in the park has undergone a decline, possible causes for this decline includes high mortality from predation and poaching and loss of habitat.

Abstract:
Over the last two decades, there have been increasing concerns about environmental degradation and its consequences on the long-term sustainability of socio-economic systems around the world. The publication of the report of the Club of Rome in 1972, (Meadows et al. 1972) focused on the issue of limits to growth. Since then, there has been a profusion of literature and general models have been developed to address the causes of environmental degradation and the unsustainability of current patterns of growth (Ehrlich and Ehrlich 1970; 1990). Essentially these models used parameters that included population growth, consumption levels and aspects of technology, and their effects on the environment. While these models and studies were at a macro level that helped focus attention on the patterns of growth and their unsustainability, they did not provide insights into the mechanisms that were driving ecological change, nor suggest alternative models of growth. An entry point into the current study is to understand the mechanisms that drive ecological change. Motivated by concerns for environmental degradation, and the need to understand the mechanisms that drive ecological change, the study is situated in the academic domain of studies on human-nature interactions. The complex nature of interactions between human groups with their environment and their dependence on the situational context, requires that such studies be at a regional and local scale for which sufficient detail is available. This particular study is situated in the Nilgiri hills in the Western Ghats of Southern India for which such detailed information is available. The study reconstructs the ecological history of the Nilgiri area during the last 200 years, and from this laboratory of human-nature interactions, attempts to derive general patterns.

Abstract:
La mise en valeur du haut pays des monts Nilgiri dans le sud de l'Inde a connu au cours du dernier siècle des mutations considérables. L'époque où la densité de population était faible et où il existait un système de partage du terrtoire entre les différentes communautés selon leurs activités, seules les terres faciles d'accès à proximité des villages étaient cultivés, les autres étaient utilisés comme pâturage par la communauté des pasteurs ou bien étaient sous couvert forestier. A partir de l'époque coloniale, la mise en valeur économique de cette région (développement des cultures maraîchères et des plantations de théiers) a suscité un mouvement de migration vers les Nilgiri. A la même époque ont été créées dans cette région des retenues d'eau destinées à l'irrigation des terres agricoles de la plaine. Les programmes de développement actuels tendent de concilier la nécessité de maintenir une abondante ressource en eau avec le développement économique de cette région
The land use of the Nilgiri Plateau in South of India has been totally changed since last century. When population wasn't large, the communities shared the land according to their activities : only the lands near the villages were cultivated. The others were grassland for buffaloes or under forest. Since the coloniale time, the area development (english vegetable and tea plantations) has caused immigration from the plain. At the same time, reservoirs were built in order to stock water for the agriculture in plain. The development schemes try to match up the area development with the need to preserve water ressources

Abstract:
Au sommet des Nilgiri (Ghâts occidentaux, Inde du Sud) s'isole un haut plateau habité jusqu'au XIXe siècle par des populations tribales, les Toda, Kota et Alu Kurumba, et une communauté provenant de la région de Mysore entre le XIIe et le XVIe siècle, les Badaga. Elles s'organisent et s'articulent par des relations socioéconomiques et un étagement dans l'espace et dans le temps. À partir du début du XIXe siècle, le développement des cultures de plantations et l'installation d'un grand nombre de travailleurs des plaines et de colons britanniques transforment les milieux et bouleversent le développement de ces communautés. Les Toda forment un petit groupe de pasteurs, concentrés principalement dans les Wenlock Downs, entre 2 000 et 2 400 m dans le milieu savane-shola. Les Alu Kurumba, peuple de la forêt subtropicale sempervirente et semi-décidue, sont des agriculteurs itinérants, des cueilleurs-chasseurs, localisés sur les versants abrupts du sud-est au sud-ouest des monts Nilgiri, entre 800 et 1 600 m. Les Kota, communauté d'artisans vivent parsemés dans 7 hameaux sur le plateau des Nilgiri entre 1600 et 2000 m. L'étude de l'interface environnement et communautés tribales est réalisée selon une analyse fonctionnelle et institutionnelle de leurs espaces par l'organisation et la symbolique du territoire et par les déplacements sociaux et culturels. Sous l'angle d'un développement durable, sont étudiés l'impact de l'évolution et des transformations d'une montagne tropicale sur les structures et les fonctions des populations tribales et la question d'une reconnaissance identitaire
At the top of the Nilgiri (Western Ghâts, South of India) stands out a high plateau inhabited until the XIXe century by tribal populations, the Toda, Kota and Alu Kurumba, and a community coming from the area of Mysore between XIIe and XVIe century, the Badaga. They are organised and are based on socio-economic relations and a staging in space and time. Starting from the beginning of the XIXe century, the development of the cultures of plantations and the settlement of a great number of workers from the plains and British colonists transform the milieu and upset the development of these communities. The Toda form a small group of pastors, concentrated mainly in Wenlock Downs, between 2 000 and 2 400 m in the savanna-shola milieu. The Alu Kurumba, people of the subtropical forest, are itinerant farmers, hunter-gatherers, localised on the steep slopes from the south-east to the south-west of the Nilgiri mounts, between 800 and 1 600 m. And the Kota, craftsmen community live in 7 hamlets on the Nilgiri plateau between 1 600 and 2 000 m. The study of the interface environment and tribal communities is carried out according to a functional and institutional analysis of their spaces by the organisation and the symbolic system of the territory and by social and cultural displacements. From the angle of a sustainable development, are studied the impact of the evolution and the transformations of a tropical mountain on the structures and the functions of the tribal populations and the question of a identity's recognition

Abstract:
In 1859, the British government launched an expedition to South America with the aim of collecting seeds and plants of the quinine-producing cinchona tree for establishing plantations in British India, so as to relieve the British Government of the escalating costs and uncertainties in the supply of this valuable, and increasingly popular anti-malarial drug. Drawing on recent work on the commodities of empire, tropical acclimatization, and imperial medicine, this thesis provides a detailed study of the first British cinchona plantations established on the Nilgiri Hills of Southern India. Focused on the period between 1860 and 1900, and at the local geographic scale, the research critically examines the engagement and connections between government officials, planters, venture capitalists, labourers, plant material and ideas in the context of the cinchona plantations through a thorough study of archival and secondary sources. Contributions are also made to the study of the spaces of science and the management of the tropical environment. Cinchona is placed in a wider context of the history of botany and plantations in the Nilgiri region, and the major events in the development of cinchona plantations described. In the resulting historical geography the Nilgiri cinchona plantations emerge as a 'nodal' point in the global cinchona network that also relied upon global networks of imperial power, capital and leisure tourism. The experiment was essentially an exertion of power but one that also demonstrated the very vulnerable nature of the empire.

Full text
Abstract:
Irula people of the Nilgiri Mountains in southern India live in partial seclusion in the forest, and have been classified as adivasis or 'Scheduled Tribals'. Though they are often described as hunter-gatherers, for at least the last hundred years their modes of livelihood have predominantly been subsistence horticulture, plantation labour, and marketing of garden and forest products. One-day village-based festivals are among their most significant cultural activities, involving collective excursions into the forest to worship deities and ancestors. The dialectical interplay between scripted ritualism and ad hoc improvisation in these festivals gives rise to numerous contradictions in meaning, making them highly entertaining events. Analysis therefore emphasises the playful nature of Hindu festivity, and reference is made to comparable practices of Hindus on the plains. Within the Irula festival, there is invariably a lengthy se*ance at which participants communicate with dieties, ancestors, and a variety of spirits, through entranced human mediums. Transcribed recordings of these se*ance-dramas are discussed, with detailed analysis of authorship, visible and invisible participants, content, and style. The language of the se*ance, like the encompassing festival, oscillates between predictable, scripted ritualism and unpredictable improvisation; this ethnography therefore challenges assumptions about ritual entelechy, since Irula rites are celebrations of both order and chaos. This feature echoes the combination, in Irula society, of formal, role-centred hierocracy and informal, person-centred adhocracy. A variety of interpretations of the social role of heteroglossia are offered. The metaphorical construction and social uses of divinity are dominating concerns throughout. The anaytical importance of non-belief is emphasised, and this is linked to the role of skepticism, whereby counter-rational faith is subverted within religious behaviour by irony and parody. The concept of metahoric resonance is offered as an aid to the analysis of ritual, enabling us to recognise the mobility and elusiveness of ritual metaphor. Four 'levels' at which ritual metaphors have meaning are distinguished: instrumental, expressive, aesthetic, and metacommunicative.

Full text
Abstract:
Human-wildlife conflict is a growing obstacle to biodiversity conservation, while the resulting consequences continue to hamper sustainable development. The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve in the Western Ghats in South India, characterises a mosaic of land use and biodiversity conservation, human privilege and poverty, and is a case-study for a wide range of conflicts with endangered large mammals such as tiger and Asian elephant. This thesis explored the social, ecological and economic contexts to conflicts with wildlife over livelihood production systems, namely agriculture and livestock, taking an interdisciplinary approach to determine key drivers of conflict losses and perceptions, ascertain the effectiveness of and decision-making process behind the choices of mitigation measures, and understand how the implementation of more effective community-based solutions may be established. The presence and intensity of conflict is driven by habitat degradation, forest proximity, and crop or livestock holding extent, while perceptions are strongly linked to proportional loss and economic investment. The most effective intervention methods were electric fences to protect crops, and guarding or the use of sheds and corrals to protect livestock. Households prefer to establish electric fences around fields, given the institutional failings in effectively maintaining electric fences around protected areas; or to utilise more effective guarding practices, but are hampered by issues of cost and labour effort. The majority of households believe that the government Forest Department should be responsible for managing conflicts, accepting very little personal responsibility. Collective action through community co-operatives can enable access to expensive but effective technologies such as electric fencing, and co-operation can be improved if schemes recognise the importance of landholder demographics in assessing costs and benefits, base contributions on risk, minimise pre-imposed constraints, and understand the problems of community heterogeneity. Reducing risks from conflict and improving livelihood production systems can be a potential and powerful incentive for biodiversity conservation.

Full text
Abstract:
Mainstream studies on Indian politics have delineated the people of India into two categories, variously described as the rich and the poor, the elite and the masses, the bourgeoise and the proletariat, among others. This has resulted in the emergence of a common theme which suggests that a powerful dominant minority have been able to use the forces of social change to subject the masses to a position of weakness. Nowhere else is this more obvious than in studies analysing the politics of tribal people in India, which goes further to suggest that except for a few groups, the rest are politically naive and placid. This study takes issue with such a view by describing the political behaviour of the Mullukurumbas: a tribal group in Nilgiris, South India numbering around 1300. In spite of their low numbers and cumulative wealth - which places them squarely within the category of the so-called exploited - the Mullukurumbas reveal by their actions that they are not social dummies but actors. Analysis of their behaviour shows that they, by discernment of the socio-political contexts and through evaluation and reflection of their relative standing with others, find methods to manoeuvre social change in a direction preferable to them. This study also highlights the following: the fact that mainstream studies on Indian politics has focused attention almost entirely on the terrain of high politics. It sees in it a discrepancy that leads to the emergence of a view, which varying in degrees suggest, an active and powerful strong placing under their domination a subjected and powerless weak. This study stretches the parameters of analysis further into the terrain of low politics where much of the transactions of the weak with the state, society and the strong take place. It shows how valued means of politics - land, money and identity - universally accepted within the context of the political culture in Nilgiris is acquired and conserved by the Mullukurumbas. This study moves beyond the mainstream theorists in describing the politics of tribal people in India today by showing how the actions of the weak are (1) sustained in subtle and well calculated ways in the terrain of low politics and (b) is institutionalised within so called non-political structures such as family and religion. This, in spite of the pressures of change, set in motion (1) by the underlying conflict between the state and society and (2) by the settling in of the strong in niches that emerge in the power structure. By doing so, this study sheds light on the active role of the tribal people, conventionally presented merely as the weak.

Abstract:
In this report, we examine the impacts of the pandemic and policy responses to it, focusing on Indigenous Peoples (IPs) in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, which spans Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala. Our analysis reveals that the pandemic and accompanying lockdowns produced new forms of exclusions. It widened existing socio-economic fissures and brought into sharp relief social security systems which were already strained. For example, a widening of the existing digital divide that excluded Adivasi students from online education and homogenous policy interventions that often reproduce inequities based on caste, class, livelihoods, and gender. Policy interventions have, to some extent, engaged with the multiple risks and impacts COVID-19 placed on the poor and marginalised, but few of them attend to the structural inequities of IPs or speak to their differential experiences and vulnerabilities.

Abstract:
The COVID Observatories project examines the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on climatic risks and food systems among Indigenous Peoples (IPs) around the world. In India, the focus is on the IPs living in the Nilgiri Biosphere, spread over parts of three states; Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka, and includes five national parks and two wildlife sanctuaries (Figure 1). IPs are colloquially called ‘Adivasi’ or tribes and India is not a signatory to the IP declarations laid out by the UN. We use IP in this report to adhere international norms and reflect as media reports that tend to use IP and Adivasi, depending on the media portal.
