  • Looking at Gandhāra
    HISTORIA I ŚWIAT, nr 4 (2015) ISSN 2299-2464 Kumar ABHIJEET (Magadh University, India) Looking at Gandhāra Keywords: Art History, Silk Route, Gandhāra It is not the object of the story to convey a happening per se, which is the purpose of information; rather, it embeds it in the life of the storyteller in order to pass it on as experience to those listening. It thus bears the marks of the storyteller much as the earthen vessel bears the marks of the potter's hand. —Walter Benjamin, "On Some Motifs in Baudelaire" Discovery of Ancient Gandhāra The beginning of the 19th century was revolutionary in terms of western world scholars who were eager to trace the conquest of Alexander in Asia, in speculation of the route to India he took which eventually led to the discovery of ancient Gandhāra region (today, the geographical sphere lies between North West Pakistan and Eastern Afghanistan). In 1808 CE, Mountstuart Elphinstone was the first British envoy sent in Kabul when the British went to win allies against Napoleon. He believed to identify those places, hills and vineyard described by the itinerant Greeks or the Greek Sources on Alexander's campaign in India or in their memory of which the Macedonian Commanders were connected. It is significant to note that the first time in modern scholarship the word “Thupa (Pali word for stupa)” was used by him.1 This site was related to the place where Alexander’s horse died and a city called Bucephala (Greek. Βουκεφάλα ) was erected by Alexander the Great in honor of his black horse with a peculiar shaped white mark on its forehead.

  • Chapter 1 External Features of the Faisal Mosque
    6 Chapter 1 External features of the Faisal Mosque Throughout the architectural style has been a mean of expression of thought in constructive form. It has undergone several stages of development in its design and style. Every civilization developed its own architectural style which became its identity. The Faisal Mosque as a modern representation of religious monument became a symbol of national identity and has international preeminence due to its uniqueness of exterior constructive design (plate 1). The mosque represents a modern phase of architectural decoration in constructive form and as surface ornamentation. From the exterior the sanctuary and minarets are the most prominent features of the Faisal Mosque. The huge sanctuary has a plan of 656.66 square feet.1 The peak of the roof is 131.24 feet above ground level.2 The four walls are in the form of isosceles triangles with a base of 215 feet and sides of 128 feet and are constructed of steel and concrete. These outer walls have different decorative designs. The main entrance of the sanctuary is from the east and this wall is divided into nine vertical sections made of concrete filled with crescent motifs (plate 2). Each crescent is one foot one inch in length, five inches thick at its center and eight inches high (plate 3). Clear glass is fitted into the crescent shapes and provides light to the interior (drawing figure 1). The crescent motif is used as a finial above the roof, and also appears on the low walls of the mu’adhdhin pew in the eastern courtyard.

The four names of great men from Sindh that he gave, included three former students of Sindh Madressah. Today, in 21st century, it gives pleasure that Sindh Madressah has kept alive that tradition of producing great men to serve the humanity.
