Give two features which marks urbanisation.? |
| Answer» Features of UrbanizationThe important features of urbanization are as follows:1. Fast Growth in Urban Population: Between 1961-71 the growth rate of population in urban areas was over 38%. This was followed by a still higher growth of 46 per cent during the decade of 1971-81. Between 1981-91, the growth was, no doubt, somewhat less at over 36 per cent but it was not inconsiderable.2. Large Increase in big owns: Another noteworthy feature of urbanization is that there has been a substantial increase in the population of big towns. A substantial increase in population has taken place since 1901 in the big towns, and that a major proportion of urban population resides in them.\xa03. Regional Disparities in Urbanization: The above description provides the all-India picture. However, the variations in the level of urbanization in various states are indeed large and rates of urbanization show surprises. Again, there are variations within the regions of each state. All this point to the diversity of conditions/causes that operate in this vast country, and is suggestive of different perceptions and policies in this field. | |

This initiated a 50-year period during which there were at least 26 claimants to the title of emperor, mostly prominent\xa0Roman army\xa0generals, who assumed imperial power over all or part of the Empire. The same number of men became accepted by the\xa0Roman Senate\xa0as emperor during this period and so became legitimate emperors.By 268, the empire had split into three competing states: the\xa0Gallic Empire\xa0(including the\xa0Roman provinces\xa0of\xa0Gaul,\xa0Britannia\xa0and, briefly,\xa0Hispania); the\xa0Palmyrene Empire\xa0(including the eastern provinces of\xa0Syria Palaestina\xa0and\xa0Aegyptus); and, between them, the Italian-centered independent Roman Empire proper. Later,\xa0Aurelian\xa0(270–275) reunited the empire. The crisis ended with the ascension of\xa0Diocletian\xa0and his implementation of reforms in 284.The crisis resulted in such profound changes in the empire\'s institutions, society, economic life, and\xa0religion\xa0that it is increasingly seen by most historians as defining the transition between the\xa0historical periods\xa0of\xa0classical antiquity\xa0and\xa0late antiquity.[1] | |
