Jogi

The Jogi (also spelled Jugi or Yogi) are a Hindu community, found in North India and Sindh, Pakistan, with smaller numbers in the southern Indian states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh and Kerala.

Jogi is a colloquial term for the "yogi", which refers to the people who practiced Yoga as part of their daily rituals. Over time, this led to the formation of a community, and subsequently was formed into a caste.

History and origin

The Jogi are followers of yoga and worshippers of the Hindu god Shiva. As followers of yoga, they traditionally wear saffron-colored clothing. The community once comprised mendicants only, but now are outnumbered by those who have taken to cultivation. They and their descendants form a caste with two sub-groups, the Kanphata and Augur. In North India, they speak Hindi and its various dialects.

The term Jogi now consists of three distinct classes of persons. One is purely religious mendicants of the various Jogi orders, the second includes various people who live by fortune telling, practising exorcisms and divination. And finally, there are a number of endogamous castes.

Amb (princely state)

Amb was a princely state of the former British Indian Empire ruled over by the Tanoli tribe. Following Pakistani independence in 1947, and for some months afterwards, Amb's Nawab remained unaligned. However, at the end of December 1947 he acceded to Pakistan, while retaining internal self-government. Amb continued as a Princely state of Pakistan until 1969, when it was incorporated into North West Frontier Province (now Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa).

In 1972, recognition of the royal status of the Nawab was ended by the Government of Pakistan.

History

Amb and its surrounding areas have a history dating to the invasion of the region by Alexander the Great in the fourth century BC. Alexander's historian, Arrian, did not indicate the exact location of Embolina, the progenitor of Amb, but it may have been in the vicinity of Aoronos, Alexander's supply depot on the right bank of the River Indus. The mention in Ptolemy's Geography of Embolina as a town of Indo-Scythia situated on the Indus River supports this theory.

Amb, India

Amb is a town situated in the district of Una in Himachal Pradesh state of India. It is situated in the Northern region of Indian Subcontinent. It is a sub-division and Tehsil of the Una district. The town was named Amb after the name of the goddess Amba, deity situated in nearby Chintpurni.

Geography and Demographics

Amb is a plain area surrounded by mountains of the Shivalik ranges. People speak Punjabi here. It has a population of around 5000 people. Some localities of Amb are Pratap Nagar, Adarsh Nagar, and Sham Nagar.

Education

Amb has various education institutions including a government senior secondary school, Gurukul Public School, Indian Public School, Shivalik Hill Pub Sr. Sec. School, Sudha Model School and Maharana Pratap College being one of them. Maharana Pratap Govt. College, Amb came into being on 18 June 1997 when the Himachal Pradesh Government took over the erstwhile National College, Amb, established in 1970. The College is situated in the center of the Amb town on the National Highway, 32 km from Una, the District headquarters, on the way to the famous shrine of the goddess Chintpurni.
