This term paper attempts to situate these monuments in the context of their socio-economic and political scenario through assistance of Waqiat-i-Mushtaqui and tries to traverse beyond the debate of sovereignty, which they have been confined within all these years. Village of Khairpur was the location of some of the tombs, mosques and other structures associated with the Lodi period, however in 1936; villagers were deported out of this space to lay the foundation of a closed campus named as Lady Willingdon Park, in the commemoration of erstwhile viceroy’s wife; later which was redesigned by eminent architect, J A Stein and was renamed as Lodi Garden in 1968. Its proximity to the Dargah of Shaykh Nizamuddin Auliya delineated Sufi jurisdiction over this space however, in due course of time it came under the Shia influence as Aliganj located nearby to it, houses monuments subscribing to this sect, such as Gateway of Old Karbala and Imambara; even the tomb of a powerful Shia Mughal governor i.e.

    Spatial Data Modeling in Gis for Historical Restoration and Conservation of Cultural Heritage of Seven Cities of Delhi

    SPATIAL DATA MODELING IN GIS FOR HISTORICAL RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE OF SEVEN CITIES OF DELHI Madan Mohan Department of Geography, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Jamia Millia Islamia (Central University) New Delhi, INDIA [email protected], [email protected], Commission V, WG V/4 KEY WORDS: History, Human Settlement, Change, Structure, Cultural Heritage, GIS, Integration, Reconstruction ABSTRACT Delhi is one of the ancient historical and greatest cultural cities of the World. Delhi’s two monuments the Qutb Minar and Humayun’s Tomb have been declared the World Cultural Heritage sites. Delhi was built and rebuilt seven times on different sites through out the history within a triangular area of about 142.20 sq. kms. lying between the last ridge of the Aravalli Range and the River Yamuna. The remains of the seven cities of Delhi can still be seen across the landscape from the Tomar city of Lal-Kot to Siri, Tughluqabad, Jahanpanah and Firuzabad of the Sultans and then Purana-Qila and Shahjahanabad of the Mughals. Moreover, the New Delhi is historically the ‘eighth city’ built by the Britishers. The present Delhi is a complex agglomeration of built fabric which exists as evidence in the form of layers of various historic time periods. It is noteworthy to mention that the vertical and horizontal expansions have adversely been affected the historical areas as well as several cultural heritage sites particularly during the post- independence period in Delhi. Therefore, the widened role is not only to meet the challenges of development, but also to preserve and protect the different facets of the Delhi’s personality.

    History Preserved in Names: Delhi Urban Toponyms of Perso-Arabic

    History preserved in names: Delhi urban toponyms of Perso-Ara bic origin Agnieszka Kuczkiewicz-Fraś Toponyms [from the Greek topos (τόπος) ‘place’ and ónoma (δνομα) ‘name’] are often treated merely as words, or simple signs on geographical maps of various parts of the Earth. How­ ever, it should be remembered that toponyms are also invaluable elements of a region’s heritage, preserving and revealing differ­ ent aspects of its history and culture, reflecting patterns of set­ tlement, exploration, migration, etc. They are named points of reference in the physical as well as civilisational landscape of various areas. Place-names are an important source of information regard­ ing the people who have inhabited a given area. Such quality results mainly from the fact that the names attached to localities tend to be extremely durable and usually resist replacement, even when the language spoken in the area is itself replaced.
