Contrary to this, there are seasonal as well as perennial water courses in the southern half. Among the Presidential Address perennial rivers mention may be made of the Chambal and Banas. On the other hand there are a number of seasonal water courses such as Early Culture Identity Formations in Khari, Berachm Khothari, Gambiri, Luni and others. Rajasthan: Emerging Perspectives Professor Ram Chander Thakran Respected Fellow Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am grateful to the executive committee of The Rajasthan History Congress for electing me as the General President of the 30th session being organized by the colleagues at the Department of History under the auspices of Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur. I am humbled by this decision of the executed committee and I hope I may be able to meet the aspirations of all the members through this presentation. The topic Early Culture Identity Formations in Rajasthan: Emerging Perspectives of this address may appear somewhat unfamiliar to the delicates because it is primarily on Early Archaeological Cultures of the state. Before coming to the main theme A Brief Survey of the natural features of Rajasthan is attempted in the following lines. The state of Rajasthan is bounded by the state of Haryana in the north by the state of Gujarat in the west, by the state of Madhya Pradesh in the south and southeast and by the state of Uttar Pradesh in the east. The state of Rajasthan is geographically divided into two Map – 1, After V. N. Misra broad units – the Marwar is west of the Aravallis and the Mewar is in The contrast between the two sub-regions is further attested its east. The former is partly forms part of the Haryana plains and to in the prevailing rainfall patterns.

In the western sub-region surface water bodies are usually saline The soils of this state present an equally interesting landscape. whereas in the eastern sub-region we notice presence of fresh water In the Marwar region these are largely aeolian sandy soils, though in bodies. Besides there are water courses of varied nature, forms and the extreme northwestern parts of this region, especially along the denominations in the sub-regions.

These clayey soils are composed of very fine clayey silt and sparse.

With the result perhaps varied frequencies. Some of these plants offer a very good green as the highest population density in the state is marked in these very well as dry fodder to the animals. Consequently, animal husbandry areas, though both the quantity and quality of ground water is not enjoy a very high position among subsistence practices until now. Its always good in and along the course of the river even in the shallow aquifers1. viability needs to be assessed in regard to the remote ancient times as well. The soils in the Mewar region are also a mix of sandy and clayey soils. However in the northern and northeastern parts of this The fauna of this area is consist of wild as well as domesticated zone we experience low frequency of sand dunes and also low animals. Among the wild animals there is a presence of nilgai, deer, percentage of sand in comparison to its western counterpart.

  • Essentials of Hindutva.Pdf
    Hindutva SwatantryaVeer V.D. Savarkar Essentials of Hindutva Swatantryaveer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (1883 – 1966) What is in a name? We hope that the fair Maid of Verona who made the impassioned appeal to her lover to change 'a name that was 'nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part belonging to a man' would forgive us for this our idolatrous attachment to it when we make bold to assert that, 'Hindus we are and love to remain so!' We too would, had we been in the position of that good Friar, have advised her youthful lover to yield to the pleasing pressure of the logic which so fondly urged 'What's in a name? That which we call a rose would smell as sweet by any other name!' For, things do matter more than their names, especially when you have to choose one only of the two, or when the association between them is either new or simple. The very fact that a thing is indicated by a dozen names in a dozen human tongues disarms the suspicion that there is an invariable connection or natural connection or natural concomitance between sound and the meaning it conveys. Yet, as the association of the word with the thing is signifies grows stronger and lasts long, so does the channel which connects the two states of consciousness tend to allow an easy flow of thoughts from one to the other, till at last it seems almost impossible to separate them. And when in addition to this a number of secondary thoughts or feelings that are generally roused by the thing get mystically entwined with the word that signifies it, the name seems to matter as much as the thing itself.

  • History Jahangir Receives Prince Khurram at Ajmer on His Return From
    AJMER One of the major cities in the Indian state of Rajasthan and the centre of the eponymous Ajmer District. According to the 2011 census, Ajmer had a population of 542,321 in the city, 551,101 including its suburbs.[2] The city was established as "Ajayameru" by a Shakambhari Chahamana (Chauhan) ruler, either Ajayaraja I or Ajayaraja II, and served as the Chahamana capital until the 12th century CE.[3][4] Ajmer is surrounded by the Aravalli Mountains. It is the base for visiting Pushkar (11 km), an ancient Hindu pilgrimage city, famous for the temple of Lord Brahma, and also a pilgrimage centre for the shrine of the Sufi Saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. Ajmer has been selected as one of the heritage cities for the HRIDAY - Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana scheme of Government of India. History Jahangir receives Prince Khurram at Ajmer on his return from the Mewar campaign Ajmer was originally known as Ajayameru.] The 12th century text Prithviraja Vijaya states that the Shakambhari Chahamana (Chauhan) king Ajayaraja II (ruled c. 1110 – 1135 CE) established the city of Ajayameru.[4] Historian Dasharatha Sharma notes that the earliest mention of the city's name occurs in Palha's Pattavali, which was copied in 1113 CE (1170 VS) at Dhara. This suggests that Ajmer was founded sometime before 1113 CE.[7] A prashasti (eulogistic inscription), issued by Vigraharaja IV and found at Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra, states Ajayadeva (that is, Ajayaraja II) moved his residence to Ajmer.[3] The later text Prabandha-Kosha states that it was the 8th century king Ajayaraja I who commissioned the Ajayameru fort, which later came to be known as the Taragarh fort of Ajmer.[4] According to historian R.

    Centre for Historical Studies M.A. and M.Phil. Lecture Course M.A. Course No. M 314/21 M.Phil. Course No. P312/20 Course Title : Gender and Society:Women in Medieval India, 13th to 18th Centuries For M.A. Credits : 4 For M.Phil. Credits : 2 Mode of Evaluation for M.A. : 2 tutorials (50%) + End semester Exam (50%) Mode of Evaluation for M.Phil: 1 tutorial + 1 Term Paper + End Semester Exam Course Instructor : Dr. Joy L.K. Pachuau _____________________________________________________________________ ___ This course uses gender as a category of historical analysis, focusing on gendered relationships within medieval Indian society. With women having been rendered largely invisible in history, it seeks to construct history from their vantage-point. This would involve unpacking the concepts of “masculine” and “feminine” in medieval society, how these related to one another, how they constituted society, and a mapping of processes that had a bearing on their relative position during the medieval period of Indian history. The purpose is to demonstrate that such a history is central to building a more complete picture of the evolution of Indian society from the 13th to the 18th centuries. Implicit in this approach is the belief that a gendered perception of history may suggest a paradigmatic shift in the trajectory of medieval Indian historical developments, and perhaps alter current perceptions of the high and low points of this period. 1. Problems and Possibilities in Recovering and Representing the Female Voice Patriarchal ideologies and male hegemony over the creation of knowledge built gender into the construction of medieval sources, both marginalizing and colouring the knowledge of women’s experiences, aspirations and worldviews.
