He's come to open trade for “barbaric” England and squeeze out the Portuguese, who try to kill him at every turn. But once on land, he’s captive: the beauty and romance of the exquisite Moghul Empire seduce him from his material goals to a new quest – of supreme sensuality in music, visions, and sacred lovemaking. India, ruled by the son of great Akbar, is about to pass to one of his sons. Hawksworth must choose sides, but will he choose right? The future of England, and of India, depend on it.

  • School of Excellence for Tribal Students in the District of Jhabua, India
    School of Excellence for Tribal Students in the district of Jhabua, India Background Jhabua District in the state of Madhya Pradesh had the lowest literacy rate (19%) of the entire country in 1991. While ten years later, it had overtaken 15 other districts of a total of more than 600, it still has the lowest literacy (37%) in Madhya Pradesh and of all districts in the three states which Jhabua borders (Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra).1 This may be due to the fact that more than 85% of its chiefly rural population belongs to the Scheduled Tribes of which roughly half live below the poverty line, making it the area with the highest concentration of tribal population in Western India.2 Education could potentially be one of the motors to drive development in Jhabua, which has been among the poorest districts of the country.3 Jhabua has over 1.2 million inhabitants belonging to the tribal community, which in India has the status of a minority with far worse health than the general population.4 The district is remote and rural, and sees regular episodes of drought and infectious disease outbreaks, especially malaria. The Catholic Church is the most successful of developmental agencies in the district given their network of boarding schools and dispensaries throughout the area. There is an unmatched discipline and dedication among teachers and healthcare personal of the Church institutions, which run the only two English-medium schools in the district which have been ranked for many years among the top performing schools. In the spring of 2005, His Grace, Bishop Chacko Thottumarickal of the Catholic Diocese of Jhabua had the vision to start a “School of Excellence”, in which the most talented students from the mission schools were selected through a competitive exam.

In this study seismic hazard has been estimated for Bargi Dam site. The probabilistic Seismic Hazard analysis has been used. Effects of all the faults, which can produce earthquake equal to or more than 3.5 Magnitude and those within a radius of 300 Km from the centre of the Masonry Dam has been considered. The past history of earthquakes indicated that a total 82 earthquakes, of magnitude 3.5 or more has been occurred in last 175 years. The maximum magnitude reported within the region of consideration is 6.5 in 1927 at Umaria. Probabilistic approach use these data for hazard Analysis. Results are presented in the form of peak ground acceleration and seismic hazard curves.

  • Medieval History of Madhya Pradesh
    www.gradeup.co Medieval History of Madhya Pradesh As we reached towards an era of the medieval period, the Muslims started to explore the land of Madhya Pradesh. Sultan Alauddin Khalji was the first one to reach Malwa and rule it. Then Tughlaqs came to the power and ruled the region for some time. Since 1305, Malwa with the capital Dhar had been under the control of Tughlaqs. In 1401, Dilawar Khan and his son Alp Khan declared themselves independent and marked the beginning of a dynasty. Gauri Dynasty • After Tughlaqs, Dilawar Khan Gauri established an independent sultanate at Malwa. • In 1392, Dilawar Khan asserted his freedom and founded an independent kingdom known as Malwa Sultanate. • He chose Dhar as its capital and later shifted it to Mandu. Mandu was renamed as Shadiabad (the city of joy). • His son Alp Khan changed his name to Hoshang Shah and founded Hoshangabad. • But the Gauris couldn't rule for long. After poisoning the grandson of Hoshang Shah, Mohammad Khalji came to the throne. • The dynasty was replaced by Mehmood Shah I who proclaimed himself king on 16th May 1436. Khalji Dynasty • Mahmud Shah founded the Khalji Dynasty in Malwa. • Mahmud Shah, I was succeeded by his son Ghiyas-ud-din. • The last days of Ghiyas-ud-din were troublesome as he saw the struggle of throne between his two sons – Nasir-ud-din and Ala-ud-din.

  • Painting Silence Vasant Wankhede
    An Alert Silence: Painting Silence Vasant Wankhede (1936 - 2015) Online Exhibition curated by Dr Tarana Khubchandani May 5th – June 7th, 2021 Exhibition catalogue Untitled | fabric collage on canvas 40 x 36 Inches Silence and spaciousness go together. The immensity of silence is the immensity of the mind in which a centre does not exist. The perception of this space and silence is not of thought. Thought can perceive only its own projection, and the recognition of it is its own frontier. - Jiddu Krishnamurti wrote in the The Only Revolution, India, 1969. Perhaps he had said this to Vasant Wankhede while lecturing at the Sir JJ School of Arts, Bombay where Wankhede was pursuing a diploma in drawing and painting. Wankhede graduated in 1959 under the tutelage of Shankar Palsikar, who was the dean at the school from the years 1968 to 1975. Though Palsikar was his professor, Wankhede held a close friendship with his teacher that was both familial and intellectual. Shankar Palsikar was a founder member of the avant garde 'Bombay Group of Artists ‘formed in 1956. A professor who often styled himself and propositioned the thoughts of Paul Klee and illustrated a book holding the title of ' Colour & Sound’. in 1972. An introduction to a friend to propose and speculate about the artist Vasant Wankhede is essential in order to write about a man who rather preferred 'Silence'. We are not sure that Wankhede encountered Krishnamurti during his time at school or during the Deanship of Palsikar at the Sir JJ School but what we know is that the words by iconoclast professor had deep impressions on how Wankhede sought his practice and his life.
