Indian Govt seeks World heritage for Majuli Island
The Government of India has nominated the Majuli Island in Jorhat district, Upper Assam, for inscription on the World Heritage List under the "Cultural Landscape" category in 2008. Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh had called a meeting in October, 2007 to discuss issues relating to Majuli with Mrs.Ambika Soni, Minister (Tourism & Culture) and Prof. Saifuddin Soz, Minister (Water Resources), Government of India. These issues included the threat of erosion by the Brahmaputra river and the status of Archaeological Survey of India's preparedness to resubmit the site for consideration by UNESCO in 2008. Subsequently, a high level central team assisted by Mrs. Anshu Vaish, DG, ASI visited Majuli Island in November, 2007 for an on-site review of the status on both counts. India currently has 27 World Heritage Sites, 22 of which are Cultural and 5 Natural. Red Fort was the most recent addition to the list last year. If inscribed, Majuli Island will be first world heritage site in India under the 'cultural landscape' category, which contains both cultural and natural components. Majuli is among the world's largest reverine islands. It is located in the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra river. For the past five hundred years or so, Majuli has been seen as the cradle of Assamese culture and a centre of the neo-Vaishnavite movement. It has 31 Sattras, which are institutions of culture and education, and are also the main repositories of the cultural resources of Majuli.Located in a complex delta system, Majuli is formed at the confluence of Brahmaputra and Lohit rivers. A number of other tributaries also join the rivers close to the island. The island witnesses an annual cycle of floods, erosion and siltation and has a complex and fragile eco-system, with a delicate balance of interaction between man and nature. Majuli was first nominated for World Heritage Status in 2004. The International Council of Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), an advisory body to the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, had carried out a detailed evaluation of the Majuli Island in 2005.

FORUM

Comments of Lt Governor quoted out of context

The comments of Lt. Governor of Delhi about North Indians have been quoted completely out of context and have been blown out of proportion by the reporting journalists who belong primarily to the Hindi belt and who feel offended like the big and small leaders who have started crying foul. The comments were general in nature and any one who has travelled to Southern states knows that people there generally abide by traffic laws and are less hostile towards the fellow road-travellers. Instead of crying hoarse, the so called saviour of Northern pride should do a soul searching and then they will realise the truth in the statement of Lt. Gov.
