	Modernising Indian highways -DAWN - Business; May 07, 2007
		MAY is the month when millions of middle-class and affluent Indians go on holidays — to hill stations, beaches, historic cities, or to their ‘native towns’ (as most migrants to cities refer to their home towns).
		Fortunately, good sense prevailed, as the biggest beneficiaries of the highway upgrade and modernisation project were the rural poor, who found easy and cheap access to the markets for their produce.
		While the affluent are only now using the national highways as a means of transport, for millions of poor people — who do not have access to railway stations or airports — national and state highways have been the only means of travelling across the country.

		The Kashmir crisis of the 1990s is reflective of trends occurring throughout the Indian polity: the increasing intervention of the central government in local affairs, the resort to coercion to resolve social conflict and maintain social order, and the increasing political assertiveness of the Indian public.

		The project, to pave, upgrade or rebuild thousands of kilometers of pitted and overcrowded Indian highways was to be a showpiece for the achievements of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), at the helm in New Delhi for two terms.

	The Klamath Indian Trade Trail
		Indian people preferred to own slaves from faraway places, since there was less chance that the slave would try to return home, Chinookans purchased slaves at The Dalles and traded them for canoes to the peoples of the North Pacific coast.
		When the Klamath Indians acquired horses in the early to mid-19th Century, their new method of transportation made it easier to raid and capture Shasta and Pit River Indians for slave trade, and then travel the long distance to The Dalles via the Klamath Trail.
		Because the Molala maintained contact with tribes east of the Cascades and crossed the mountains regularly, it is speculated that the Table Rock Trail was perhaps one of the routes regularly used for crossing the Cascades for the purposes of trade, raiding, warfare, social interaction and contact, gathering, and maintaining kin relationships.

		In reliance on Yakima, the State of South Dakota concluded that, notwithstanding the 1964 decision of the South Dakota Supreme Court in Hankins and passage of the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968, it was entitled to assert jurisdiction under the 1961 statute over conduct taking place on highways in Indian country.
		The court reasoned that the Indian Civil Rights Act expressly stated that it would have no effect on jurisdiction that already had been assumed, and that the consent requirement set forth in Sections 1321 and 1322 applied only to new assumptions of jurisdiction after 1968.
