Wani Associate Professor, Department of History Govt College Sedam Road Gulbarga . ABSTRACT The presence of Islam in South Asia originates before the appearance of the Mughals by approximately eight hundreds of years. Those eight centuries are addressed by an amazing exhibit of material stays dispersed across India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The remaining parts mirror an commitment with a wide cluster of material and structural customs in South Asia as well as those of the metropolitan places of the more extensive Islamic world. Albeit the pre-Mughal material has never been disregarded altogether, the Mughal time frame has tended to overwhelm grant on Islamic material culture in South Asia. The most recent thirty years have, be that as it may, seen a genuine flood in research on this space from researchers around the world. KEYWORDS: Islamic Material Culture, Islamic societies, current political INTRODUCTION Regardless of this movement, the field holds a moderately low profile universally, not least since it rides the two branches of knowledge of "Islamic" and "South Asian" paleontology and workmanship. The proposed meeting plans to give an interdisciplinary gathering explicitly committed to pre-Mughal Islamic paleontology and material culture in South Asia. The meeting will offer an interesting gathering for researchers to introduce their exploration to a subject matter expert crowd and addresses a critical chance for scholarly trade across current political and disciplinary partitions. The broadness of the geological and ordered outline included makes it hard to expect every one of the issues that will emerge from the meeting anyway we expect that the meeting will address various significant issues.

    New Research on Pre-Mughal Islamic Material Culture in South Asia

    New Research on pre•Mughal Islamic Material Culture in South Asia Conference of the European Association of South Asian Archaeologists London, July 4• 8 2005 Convenors: Elizabeth Lambourn Senior Research Fellow, De Montfort University and Research Fellow, SOAS Finbar Flood Associate Professor, New York University) The presence of Islam in South Asia pre•dates the arrival of the Mughals by some eight centuries. Those eight centuries are represented by an impressive array of material remains scattered across India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The remains reflect an engagement with a broad array of material and architectural traditions in South Asia as well as those of the metropolitan centres of the wider Islamic world. Although the pre• Mughal material has never been ignored entirely, the Mughal period has tended to dominate scholarship on Islamic material culture in South Asia. The last three decades have, however, seen a real surge in research on this area from scholars worldwide. In spite of this activity, the field retains a relatively low profile internationally, not least because it straddles the two subject areas of "Islamic" and "South Asian" archaeology and art. The proposed session aims to provide an inter•disciplinary forum specifically dedicated to pre•Mughal Islamic archaeology and material culture in South Asia. The session will offer a unique forum for scholars to present their research to a specialist audience and represents a key opportunity for intellectual exchange across current political and disciplinary divides. The breadth of the geographical and chronological frame involved makes it difficult to anticipate all the issues that will arise from the session however we anticipate that the session will address a number of important issues.

The survey included boring survey at specified locations along the rout of KCR. The subsoil samples were collected from the boring, and laboratory tests were conducted. The survey analysis is based on 90 boreholes (24 boreholes of 15 m in depth, 44 boreholes of 20 m in depth) and the laboratory test results. The fieldwork was carried out from April 09, 2012 to July 28, 2012. The geotechnical conditions and parameters for the development of the proposed infrastructure and facilities are recommended in this section. 2.3.1 Scope of Work The scope of work for the geotechnical survey is as follows: (1) Core drilling with Testing Core drilling will be made for bedrock, soil and unconsolidated deposits that may contain boulders. The diameter of the boreholes shall be not less than 60 mm. Every effort shall be made for 100% core recovery. Standard penetration tests (SPT), in accordance with ASTM D1586 or the equivalent, shall be carried out every 1.0 m of depth in the sections of bore holes which are located within soils, unconsolidated deposits or intensively weathered rocks, to evaluate the mechanical strength of those materials.
