The Narmada Valley is a graben, a layered block of the earth's crust that dropped down relative to the blocks on either side due to ancient spreading of the earth's crust.
Two normal faults, known as the Narmada North fault and Narmada South fault, parallel the river's course, and mark the boundary between the Narmada block and the Vindhya and Satpura blocks or horsts which rose relative to the Narmada Graben.
The Narmada's watershed includes the northern slopes of the Satpuras, and the steep southern slope of the Vindhyas, but not the Vindhyan tableland, the streams from which flow into the Ganges and Yamuna.

The center of the Satpura conductivity anomaly located beneath Kalpi is just 15 km southeast of Kosamghat, the epicentre of the Jabalpur (M 6.0) earthquake of May 22, 1997.
The hypocentre section of the main shock and aftershocks of the Jabalpur earthquake of May 22, 1997 and the depths of equivalent line currents causing the Satpura conductivity anomaly are well correlated with each other.
The epicentral region of this earthquake is therefore, the seat of an anomalous electrical conductivity structure.

 Combined tide and wave influence on sedimentation of Lower Gondwana coal measures of central India: Barakar Formation ...
Abstract:The coal-bearing Barakar succession of the Satpura basin is typical of the Gondwanan coal basins of peninsular India, in that it has previously been interpreted as continental in origin.
Accordingly, it has been suggested by most previous studies that the Satpura basin was geographically restricted from oceanic waters and that tidal reworking had no effect on the deposition of the Barakar strata (see Ray & Chakraborty 2002).
This paper describes combined tide-and wave-influenced facies from the Barakar Formation of the Satpura Gondwana basin indicating marine influence during sedimentation in a continental interior deltaic setting and suggesting that the basin was connected to oceanic waters during Barakar sedimentation.

When a woman “chooses” to die because she cannot stomach the idea of a lifetime of degradation in widowhood, I don’t need any high theory to hear what the subaltern is saying: I can hear, loud and clear, the inhuman traditions that not only make such “choices” possible, but wrap them in an aura of nobility and self-sacrifice.
These same villagers who were so reluctant to come to Charanshah’s aid when she needed them, and were so perfunctory in whatever assistance they did provide, showed no such compunction when it came to worshipping her as Sati Mata after she was burnt to death.
Satpura is a largely dalit village, so it wasn’t as if Charanshah was surrounded by some purity-fixated upper castes.
