Similarity in Differences Architecture of Mumbai & Delhi: a Visual Comparison Similarity in Differences Architecture of Mumbai & Delhi: a visual comparison Abstract In this era of globalisation where every modern city is inclined towards acquiring a similar kind of look and feel to provide the jet-setters a sense of familiarity to the spaces around them, this is all being done at the cost of losing the traditional look of the city as a space. For example, all the airports and the hotels looks the same. We have all the brands of clothes and shoes, restaurants, fast food chains that are available all across the globe. The idea of malls only reinforces this obsession with each and every one of them having the same brands – it’s just the architecture and allocation of the stores that are different. This idea of globalisation unintentionally eats up the space of and for the traditional and local cultures and identities. Every culture on Earth has its own identity, it has a few symbols, elements etc. through which we identify it and associate it with that particular culture. All those things are being brushed under the carpet or the backroom of a museum by the idea of globalisation. So what are those elements, symbols, icons etc. which makes one culture different from the other? This is an attempt to find and decode those elements and symbols through visuals (photographs) of two culturally different cities of India, considering the socio-political, economical, architectural and geographical conditions of the same. 01 Architecture One can choose whether or not one wants to be involved in politics or religious rituals but one cannot distance oneself from the architecture that surrounds them. One can be more interactive, sensitive and productive if he or she knows about their physical surroundings. Architecture is the physical embodiment of who we are as individuals and as a collective and it represents the culture of a collective for times immemorial. From inside a room to a block to a city it communicates a lot about the person, their social life, society, locality, city and culture. Architecture tells us much about a city’s history also. It can reveal the lifestyles, religion, technology and ethnic background of its settlers. It also reveals the influences that mark time, the rise and fall of cultures and kingdoms. Architectural styles can tell us about the image a city wants to project. An examination of the varied styles and functions of a city’s buildings can be as enlightening an education as any history book can provide. 02 03 Mumbai The Mughal Empire, founded in 1526, Portugal, placed the islands in possession began to grow into a major trading town, and Rao II, the last of the Maratha Peshwa in was the dominant power in the Indian of the British Empire, as part of Catherine’s received a huge influx of migrants from across the Battle of Khadki.

Original materials, both published and unpublished, have been accumulating for the last sixtv years and their volume often frightens the average student. Sir Asutosh Mookerjee, therefore, suggested that a selection in a handy form should be made where all the useful documents should be in- cluded. I must confess that no historical document has found a place in the present volume, but I felt that the chronicles or bakhars could not be excluded from the present series and I began with Sabhasad bakhar leaving the documents for a subsequent volume. This is by no means the first English rendering of Sabhasad. Jagannath Lakshman Mankar translated Sabhasad more than thirty years ago from a single manuscript. The late Dr. Vincent A. Smith over- estimated the value of Mankar's work mainly because he did not know its exact nature. A glance at the catalogue of Marathi manuscripts in the British Museum might have convinced him that the original Marathi Chronicle from which Mankar translated has not been lost.

Kashinath Sane published a mass of original material like Bakhars, Sanads, letters and other state papers in his journal Kavyetihas Samgraha for more eleven years during the nineteenth century.

  • Anangpal II: Tomar Dynasty
    Anangpal II: Tomar Dynasty drishtiias.com/printpdf/anangpal-ii-tomar-dynasty Why in News Recently, a seminar highlighted the legacy of the long-forgotten Tomar king - Anangpal II. Key Points About Anangpal II: Anangpal II, popularly known as Anangpal Tomar, belonged to the Tomar dynasty. He was the founder of Dhillika Puri, which eventually became Delhi. Evidence about the early history of Delhi is inscribed on the iron pillar of Masjid Quwaatul Islam, adjacent to Qutub Minar. Multiple inscriptions and coins suggest Anangpal Tomar was the ruler of present-day Delhi and Haryana in between the 8th-12th centuries. He had built the city from ruins and under his supervision, Anang Tal Baoli and Lal Kot were constructed. Anangpal Tomar II was succeeded by his grandson Prithviraj Chauhan. Delhi Sultanate was established in 1192 after Prithviraj Chauhan’s defeat in the Battle of Tarain (present-day Haryana) by the Ghurid forces. 1/2 About Tomar Dynasty: Tomara dynasty is one of the minor early medieval ruling houses of northern India. Puranic evidence (writings of the Puranas) gives its early location in the Himalayan region. According to bardic tradition, the dynasty was one of the 36 Rajput tribes. The history of the family spans the period between the reign of Anangpal, who founded the city of Delhi in the 11th century CE, and the incorporation of Delhi within the Chauhan (Chahamana) kingdom in 1164. Although Delhi subsequently became decisively a part of the Chauhan kingdom, numismatic and comparatively late literary evidence indicates that Tomara kings such as Anangapala and Madanapala continued to rule as feudatories, presumably until the final conquest of Delhi by the Muslims in 1192–93.

  • FALL of MARATHAS, 1798–1818 A.D. the Position of Marathas in 1798 A.D
    M.A. (HISTORY) PART–II PAPER–II : GROUP C, OPTION (i) HISTORY OF INDIA (1772–1818 A.D.) LESSON NO. 2.4 AUTHOR : PROF. HARI RAM GUPTA FALL OF MARATHAS, 1798–1818 A.D. The Position of Marathas in 1798 A.D. The Marathas had been split up into a loose confederacy. At the head of the Maratha empire was Raja of Sitara. His power had been seized by the Peshwa Baji Rao II was the Peshwa at this time. He became Peshwa at the young age of twenty one in December, 1776 A.D. He had the support of Nana Pharnvis who had secured approval of Bhonsle, Holkar and Sindhia. He was destined to be the last Peshwa. He loved power without possessing necessary courage to retain it. He was enamoured of authority, but was too lazy to exercise it. He enjoyed the company of low and mean companions who praised him to the skies. He was extremely cunning, vindictive and his sense of revenge. His fondness for wine and women knew no limits. Such is the character sketch drawn by his contemporary Elphinstone. Baji Rao I was a weak man and the real power was exercised by Nana Pharnvis, Prime Minister. Though Nana was a very capable ruler and statesman, yet about the close of his life he had lost that ability. Unfortunately, the Peshwa also did not give him full support. Daulat Rao Sindhia was anxious to occupy Nana's position. He lent a force under a French Commander to Poona in December, 1797 A.D. Nana Pharnvis was defeated and imprisoned in the fort of Ahmadnagar.
