  • Maharana Pratap
    Maharana Pratap Pratap Singh, popularly known as the Maharana Pratap, was the 13th Maharana of Mewar known for his valiant and spirited defence against the Mughal Empire. This article will give details about Maharana Pratap within the context of the civil services examinations. Early Life of Maharana Pratap Maharana Pratap belonged to the Sisodia clan of the Rajputs of Mewar. He was born on 9th May 1540 to Udai Singh II and Jaiwanta Bhai. His younger brothers were Shakti Singh, Vikram Singh and Jagmal Singh. Maharana Pratap was married to Ajabde Punwar of Bijolia. Upon the death of Udai Singh in 1572 there was a brief tussle fon who would succeed the throne of Mewar. Maharana Pratap had other stepbrothers who were also vying for the throne of Mewar. However, the senior nobles in his father’s court wanted Pratap Singh to succeed as he was the eldest son of Udai Singh II, thus he ascended to the throne of Mewar on 1st March 1572 Battle of Haldighati During the reign of Udai Singh II, the siege of Chittorgarh had led to the loss of the fertile eastern half of Mewar to the expansionist Mughal Empire. Yet the western half of Mewar which consisted of the wooded and hilly terrain near the Aravalli range was firmly under the control of the Sisodia Rajputs. Mughal Emperor Akbar was intent on securing the rest of Mewar in order to secure a stable route to the economic powerhouse of Gujarat. Upon the ascension of Maharana Pratap in 1572, Mughal Emperor Akbar sent many diplomatic missions to convince him to become a vassal of the Mughal Empire like the other Rajput rulers in the region had done so as Maharana Pratap refused to submit in person to Akbar, thus ensuring that war would be inevitable.

  • Aurangzeb's Last Battle
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Aurangzeb's Last Battle Vol. 50, Issue No. 36, 05 Sep, 2015 Our sense of history is stuck in the past; indeed, it is steadily regressing to the era of myths . When the New Delhi Municipal Corporation decided, on a petition from the Delhi Member of Parliament, Mahesh Girri, to rename Aurangzeb Road as A P J Abdul Kalam Marg, it should not have come as a surprise to many. After all, Aurangzeb, the last of the main Mughal emperors, has for long been the cruel, narrow-minded, fundamentalist foil to his great- grandfather, Akbar “the Great,” who is described as liberal, ecumenical and a great empire builder. Aurangzeb imprisoned his father, killed his brothers, including the learned, religiously-tolerant Dara Shikoh, executed the Sikh Guru Teg Bahadur and harassed the Maratha king Shivaji, destroyed temples and imposed the Jiziya on Hindus and even banned music from the Mughal court. Obstinate to a fault, he spent the last 25 years of his life trying to subdue the recalcitrant rulers of the Deccan in a futile obsession which bankrupted and weakened the empire, leading to its eventual fall. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and its mentor the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, of course, speak of a thousand years of foreign rule in India. According to the Hindutva view of history, Aurangzeb is only an archetype of the Muslim ruler who oppressed Hindus over this millennium. It is important to remember that their dislike is not limited to Aurangzeb; a few months back, Akbar was sought to be portrayed as a “Muslim invader” who was resisted by the brave but ultimately tragic, Maharana Pratap.

Jalal – ud- din Akbar, also known as Akbar ‘The Great’ was the third Mughal emperor after Babur and Humayun. Akbar was 13 years old when he ascended the throne. At that time Delhi was the capital which he later shifted to Fatehpur Sikri. Akbar proclaimed the throne in the midst of a war against Sikander Shah of the Sur dynasty. Akbar was a commander of the stature who built the largest army in the history of the Mughal Empire. The Mughal army resembled a city on the move. TWO FAMOUS BATTLES FOUGHT BY AKBAR 1. Second Battle of Panipat 2. Battle of Haldighati Battle of Panipat During his early reign Akbar fought the battle of Panipat to reclaim his capital when he had been away to subdue the forces of Sher Shah‟s dynasty who were the biggest threats at that time. Akbar defeated Sikander Shah Suri easily but when he was away, Hemu defeated the Mughal forces in Delhi. Akbar‟s army met Hemu‟s forces in Panipat and hence started the second battle of Panipat between Akbar and Hemu.

  • Art in Between Empires: Visual Culture & Artistic
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Columbia University Academic Commons ART IN BETWEEN EMPIRES: VISUAL CULTURE & ARTISTIC KNOWLEDGE IN LATE MUGHAL DELHI 1748-1857 Yuthika Sharma Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Yuthika Sharma All rights reserved ABSTRACT Art in between Empires: Visual Culture & Artistic Knowledge in Late Mughal Delhi 1748 -1857 Yuthika Sharma This dissertation focuses on the artistic culture of late Mughal Delhi spanning the last century of Mughal rule and the administration of the English East India Company in North India, from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. It brings a hitherto unrecognized period of artistic accomplishment to light and studies the transformations within painting culture in the multicultural Anglo-Mughal society of Delhi. Rather than being fixated on the continuum of Mughal painting over centuries, this dissertation suggests that the art of the late Mughal period should be studied on its own terms as a response to immense socio-political and cultural changes. At its core this study is concerned with dissolving the stylistic barriers between Mughal and Company painting in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. I take up the question of what the term ‘late Mughal painting’ entails and discuss how the term privileges the notion of a court centric culture of painting in an era when the Mughal court was only one of many venues of artistic expression. On the other hand, I highlight the inadequacy of the term ‘Company painting’ to address the variegated nature of works produced under East India Company patronage in this period.

  • Life Story of Maharana Pratap August 2017 Savior of Liberty and Self-Respect
    Life Story of Maharana Pratap August 2017 Savior of Liberty and self-respect, ‘Hindua Suraj’ - Maharana Pratap ‘Shesha naag sir sehas paye, dhar rakhi khud aap, Ik bhala ri nok pai, thay dhabi partap!’ – Ram Singh Solanki Meaning: Shesh –the remainder, that which remains when all else cease to exist. Naag - Serpent. Shesha Naag is said to hold the planets of the universe on his hoods. He has to use his thousand hoods to protect and stabilize the unstable earth. But, Oh Pratap! You stabilized and protected the entire motherland, solely on the tip of your spear. Where the Snake God held the Earth on its thousands of heads; there, Oh! Brave Maharana Pratap, you have not only held your land on the tip of your spear but also used the strength of your spears to protect it. Maharana Pratap was the hundred and fourth heir of the great Sun dynasty ‘Suryavansh’. The Kings of erstwhile India were divided into two dynastic categories namely ‘Suryavanshi’ and ‘Chandravanshi’ based on the Sun and Moon Gods respectively. Mythological texts and manuscripts also refer to these two dynasties in which the ‘Suryavanshi’ Kings hold greater significance. This ‘Suryavansh’ dynasty was later known as ‘Rughavansh’ dynasty tracing its ancestry to ‘Surya’ the Sun God. The incarnation of Lord Rama, destroyer of the malevolent demon Ravana also occurred in the ‘Suryavanshi’ dynasty and it is believed that the Kingdom of Mewar originated from Luv, the elder son of Rama. This dynastic tradition continued with the birth of the popular King Guhaditya/Guhil in 568 CE and the dynasty was thus referred to as ‘Guhilvansh’/’Guhilot’ with ‘Rawal’ as its title.
