  • Killer Khilats, Part 1: Legends of Poisoned ªrobes of Honourº in India

    Killer Khilats, Part 1: Legends of Poisoned ªrobes of Honourº in India

    Folklore 112 (2001):23± 45 RESEARCH ARTICLE Killer Khilats, Part 1: Legends of Poisoned ªRobes of Honourº in India Michelle Maskiell and Adrienne Mayor Abstract This article presents seven historical legends of death by Poison Dress that arose in early modern India. The tales revolve around fears of symbolic harm and real contamination aroused by the ancient Iranian-in¯ uenced customs of presenting robes of honour (khilats) to friends and enemies. From 1600 to the early twentieth century, Rajputs, Mughals, British, and other groups in India participated in the development of tales of deadly clothing. Many of the motifs and themes are analogous to Poison Dress legends found in the Bible, Greek myth and Arthurian legend, and to modern versions, but all seven tales display distinc- tively Indian characteristics. The historical settings reveal the cultural assump- tions of the various groups who performed poison khilat legends in India and display the ambiguities embedded in the khilat system for all who performed these tales. Introduction We have gathered seven ª Poison Dressº legends set in early modern India, which feature a poison khilat (Arabic, ª robe of honourº ). These ª Killer Khilatº tales share plots, themes and motifs with the ª Poison Dressº family of folklore, in which victims are killed by contaminated clothing. Because historical legends often crystallise around actual people and events, and re¯ ect contemporary anxieties and the moral dilemmas of the tellers and their audiences, these stories have much to tell historians as well as folklorists. The poison khilat tales are intriguing examples of how recurrent narrative patterns emerge under cultural pressure to reveal fault lines within a given society’s accepted values and social practices.

    Forgotten Masters: Indian Painting for the East India Company Guest Curated by William Dalrymple

    The Wallace Collection - New Exhibition Announcement: Forgotten Masters: Indian Painting for the East India Company Guest Curated by William Dalrymple 4 December 2019 – 19 April 2020 Tickets on sale from 16 September 2019 In partnership with DAG New Delhi-Mumbai-New York In December 2019, the Wallace Collection presents Forgotten Masters: Indian Painting for the East India Company. Curated by renowned writer and historian William Dalrymple, this is the first UK exhibition of works by Indian master painters commissioned by East India Company officials in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is an unprecedented opportunity to see these vivid and highly original paintings together for the first time, recognising them as among the greatest masterpieces of Indian painting. Comprising works from a wide variety of Indian traditions, the exhibition moves the emphasis from the Company commissioners onto the brilliance of the Indian creators. It belatedly honours historically overlooked artists including Shaikh Zain ud-Din, Bhawani Das, Shaikh Mohammad Amir of Karriah, Sita Ram and Ghulam Ali Khan and sheds light on a forgotten moment in Anglo-Indian history. Reflecting both the beauty of the natural world and the social reality of the time, these dazzling and often surprising artworks offer a rare glimpse of the cultural fusion between British and Indian artistic styles during this period. The exhibition highlights the conversation between traditional Indian, Islamic and Western schools and features works from Mughal, Marathi, Punjabi, Pahari, Tamil and Telugu artists. They were commissioned by a diverse cross-section of East India Company officials, ranging from botanists and surgeons, through to members of the East India Company civil service, diplomats, governors and judges, and their wives, as well as by more itinerant British artists and intellectuals passing through India for pleasure and instruction.

    Indian National Congress and Eka Movement in Awadh*

    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 Impact Factor (2018): 7.426 Indian National Congress and Eka Movement in Awadh* Amit Kumar Tiwari Research Scholar, Center For Gandhian Thought and Peace Studies, Central University of Gujarat, Gandhinagar, Sector- 29, 382029 Abstract: Awadh region has glorious historical background. In ancient India, Awadh region came under KaushalJanapada. According to Hindu mythology, Rama was the king of KaushalJanapada whose capital was Ayodhya which is now in Faizabad district of Utter Pradesh. This area was the heartland of Saltanat kings as well as Mughal kings because of its agriculture production. In later Mughal period, Awadhbecame independent state.Dalhousie conquered Awadh in 1856. And, after British control, a series of peasant’s movement started in different parts of Awadh. After the establishment of Indian National Congress, peasant movements got new dimension. The discourse on peasant movements have been discussed by mainly three school of thoughts in India such as Marxist perspective, nationalist perspective and subaltern perspective. Therefore, this paper is an attempt to understand Eka movement under the umbrella of Indian national Congress. Keywords: Peasant‟s movements, Indian National Congress, KisanSabha, Eka movement *The present paper is a chapter of my M.Phil.dissertation ‘Indian National Congress and Peasant Movements; A Study of Eka Movement in Awadh’ Central University of Gujarat, 2016. I am grateful to the Centre for Gandhian Thought and Peace Studies at Central University of Gujarat. I am also grateful to my supervisor, Mr.SmrutiRanjan Dhal under whom supervision, I conducted my M.Phil. work. I am also thankful to my new supervisor, Dr.

    91 Chapter-I the AWADH REGION Growth and Development Of

    91 Chapter-I THE AWADH REGION Growth and Development of Tourism As discussed in the foregoing, the Awadh Region has been attracting pilgrims and devotees from time immemorial (Al Ichin,'70; Younger,'70). The legend of Rama and the Buddha has been a major pull factor, particularly to the holy centres associated with these personalities. Ayodhya stands out boldly on the religious map of India. Classed as one of the seven sacred cities of the Hindus (Saptpuri) it spontaneously acquires a national importance, and hence people have been travelling to this land from far off places to pay their homage to Lord Rama. The sojourn of the Buddha for the major part remained confined to the forest groves of the Tarai in eastern U.P. and some sequestered areas (Dutta and Bajpai,'56). However, none of these places could develop as a regular centre of visitation except Sravasti, in the study area, which was no better than a subdued wilderpess until the late 1960's when it began to be groomed as a Buddhist resort. Pilgrimages are marked by the concept of austerity and simplicity which often come as an antithesis to the concept of modern tourism. The Hindu scheme of Tirthas (pilgrimages) encompasses travel as an essential ingredient but it also discourages developed travel comforts in accommodation and transport and the like, which are an essential part of modern tourism. Thus, it is easy to discover that only the basic and minimum travel facilities were organised by the Hindu missionaries, both enroute and at the pilgrim destination. 92 The dharamshalas, panda homestays, th.

    Stratification and Role of the Elite Muslim Women in the State of Awadh, 1742-1857

    Athens Journal of History - Volume 7, Issue 4, October 2021 – Pages 269-294 Stratification and Role of the Elite Muslim Women in the State of Awadh, 1742-1857 By Naumana Kiran This paper focuses on stratification and role of the elite Muslim women in the State of Awadh during the second-half of the eighteenth, and first-half of nineteenth century India. It evaluates the categorization of women associated with the court and the division of political and domestic power among them. It also seeks their economic resources and their contribution in fields of art and architecture. The study finds that the first category of royal women of Awadh, including queen mothers and chief wives, enjoyed a powerful position in the state-matters unlike many other states of the time in India. Besides a high cadre of royal ladies, three more cadres of royal women existed in Awadh’s court with multiple ratios of power and economic resources. Elite women’s input and backing to various genres of art, language and culture resulted in growth of Urdu poetry, prose, drama and music in addition to religious architecture. The paper has been produced on the basis of primary and secondary sources. It includes the historical accounts, written by contemporary historians as well as cultural writings, produced by poets and literary figures of the time, besides letters and other writings of the rulers of Awadh. The writings produced by the British travelers, used in this paper, have further provided an insightful picture and a distinctive perspective. Introduction The study of Muslim women of Awadh, like women of all other areas of India during the 18th and 19th centuries, is a marginalized theme of study in historiography of India.
