    What are hamleted settlements? Mention any two areas of India where such settlements are found.

    Answer:

    A hamlet is a settlement, which is too small to be considered a town or village. As a general rule, hamlets are rural, and many of them arise around a specific site such as a mill or a large farm. In some countries, hamlets are legally defined, while in others; the world is simply a term to describe a small settlement, with no firm definition attached.
                A typical hamlet consists of only a few houses, often clustered together close to the road. Many hamlets lack stores and services, forcing their dwellers to travel to the nearest town to meet their needs. Two areas in India are:
    (i) Middle and lower parts of the Ganga pi-am
    (ii) Lower valleys of the Himalayas.
    (iii) Chhattisgarh.
