All Muhammad Khan, author of Mlrat-i-AhmadF (Vol. I p, 17) gives the list of the 25 sarkars controlled by' the Sultanate at the time of its maximum expan­ sion. In this map these 25 sarkars are indicated by dot within small circles. The places other than these sarkars that are mentioned by records as being held by nobles in different capacities are shown in this map with ordinary dots. The alignments of the land routes shown by thick lines that go to suggest the pattern of the Gujarat's trade links with the other parts of Indian subcontinent are copied from Prof. Irfan Habib's sheet nOi, 7 A, B in An Atlas of the Mughal Empire. Introduction Being located on the western coast of Indian subcontinent, a part of Gujarat is a peninsula washed on two sides by the 'Arabian sea and on the third by the Gulf of Carnbay. A large number of excellent ports found on its coast made Gujarat a commercial emporium. Its natural products, particularly cotton, that was available in abxmdance and easy access to the sea facilitated the development of the overseas trade. Moreover teak forests in the eastern part of the province provided rich building material for local use as well as for export all over the world.^ The people of Gujarat, therefore, were always particularly involved in the occupations identified with handicraft manufacture and trade which contributed to the 3 great wealth of the region. 1. Sikandar LodI, the ruler of Delhi is ^«ported to have remarked that Gujarat Sultan had^S4^ports in his control; Sikandar bin Manjhu, Mirat-i-Sikandarx, ed. by S.C.Misra and M.L.

Foster, Oxford, 1906-27, pp. 65, 79 & John Pinkerton, A General Collection of the Best and Most Interesting Voyage and Travels in All Parts of World. London, 1811, p. 326 quoted by Irfaji Habib An Atlas of Mughal Empire, Oxford University Press, New Delhi, 1982,p. 25, hereafter see Atlas For the export of the timber, see S. Maqbol Ahmad, 'Commercial Relations of India with the Arab VJorld' Islamic Culture. XXXVIII No. 2, 1964 p. 149; For the local use of the teak timber see Mlrl't-i-AhmadT. ed. Saiyid Nawab Ali, Baroda 1927, I p. 16. Here after see MA. 3. That these factors contributed to the prosperity of Gujarat is emphasised by S.A.I. Tirmizi, Some Aspects of Medieval Gujarat, Delhi, 1968, p. 2, '.here after see SMG. Since Gujarat was a coastal -domain well known for its flourishing trade, the seafaring communities as well as various commercial groups, could be assumed to have comprised a very considerable part of its total population. One may reasonably presume that a major part of Gujarat's seafarers and traders were living in the urban centres. This large urban population was perhaps, further boosted by the existence of considerable artisan pockets. It is pointed out by Moreland that during the 17th century^Gujarat was not self-supporting in food grains. This was, possibly, owing to its large urban and seafaring popul­ ation. According to Moreland "it (Gujarat) imported food grains largely from the North and East, rice from the Deccan, wheat and other grains from Malwa and Rajputana". During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries Gujarat appears to have witnessed important socio-economic changes which contributed greatly to its distinct regional identity. The features of the economy and demography of the 17th century Gujarat noticed above were, apparently, some of the characteristics hallmarks of such an identity. In this study 1. Moreland, India at the Death of Akbar, London, 1920, p. 244. I hope to probe the question as to how and when the Gujarati society came to develop these features. In this connection I am proceeding on the premise that the expansion of Gujarat's overseas trade contributing to the emergende of these special features of its economy and demography might be traced back to the fifteenth and first half of the sixteenth centuries when it was being ruled by a regional Sultanate, It is sought to be done, on the one hand, by examining the nature and extent of patronage the seafaring in general and trade and commerce in particular received at the hand of Gujarati Sultans, On the other hand I have also tried to test the above premise by examining, to the extent it is permitted by the available evidence, the demographic structure of Gujarat during 1407-1572. In my study of the population of Gujarat I have followed Moreland's method based on the assximption that the ratio between the armed personnel and the population came up to 1:30 respectively. One of my major concerns in this thesis would be the study of the state of trade and commerce as well as the 1. The evidence pertains to^total strenth of Gujariti armed forces in the year 1572 furnished by MA I, p, 16, related crafts in Gujarat under the regional SultSis. The II and III chapters of my thesis deal with this problem. In this study, first of all I would be dealing with the evidence suggesting the presence of different merchant communities of local as well as foreign origins in Gujarat, For this purpose, in addition to the references to these communities in the Persian chronicles and surviving traditions, large corpus of epigraphical evidence surviving from 14th, 15th and 16th centxiries has also been fully utilized.

Lions have been driven almost to extinction in Asia coastal scrub and agro-pastoral areas covering c. 10,000 km2. (Kinnear, 1920; Pocock, 1930; Divyabhanusinh, 2005). The In May 2008 the Government of Gujarat declared 180 km2 only surviving free-ranging Asiatic lion Panthera leo persica of the sacred Girnar forests a Wildlife Sanctuary.

  • The Copper Hoards Problem: a Technological Angle
    The Copper Hoards Problem: A Technological Angle Received 14 June 1969 D. P. AGRAWAL I. THE PROBLEM HE Copper Hoards are difficult to define. Copper artifacts discovered from sites as distant as Shalozan in the northwest, Bhagrapir in the east and Kallur in the south T have all been lumped together under the designation, "Copper Hoards." Tool types also are equally varied: they include socketed axes, trunnion axes, flat celts, anthropomorphs, rings, and harpoons, among others. The problem of definition is further compounded by the fact that all these finds are unstratified, and they have no association with other artifacts. The earliest discoveries were reported by V. A. Smith (1905, 1907). R. Heine-Geldern (1936) equated them with the Indo-Aryan culture on the basis of typological considerations alone. He proposed that the trunnion axes came from Transcaucasia, the axe-adze from the Danube and the antennae sword from the Koban region. He surmised that these artifacts came to India through Persia around 1200-1000 B.C. In this equation he was at first supported by S. Piggott (1944), but subsequently the latter proposed that they were perhaps the relics of the Harappan refugees (Piggott 1950). In a brilliant analysis, B. B. Lal (1951) pointed out that the trunnion axe, the Fort Monroe sword, the socketed axe-adze and the axe had a westerly distribution, whereas the harpoon, the barcelt and the anthropomorph were confined to the Doab and never occurred west of it. But undeterred by Lal's criticism, Heine-Geldern repeated (1956) his arguments and declared that the Copper Hoard-Aryans, coming from the West, invaded India between 1200 and 1000 B.C.

Many members of this community shared a history of migration into Gujarat from the southern Arabian Peninsula, north Africa, Iran, Central Asia and the neighboring territories of the Indian subcontinent. I analyze two key aspects related to the making of a community of ii learned Muslim men in the fifteenth century - the production of a variety of texts in Persian and Arabic by learned Muslims and the construction of tomb shrines sponsored by the sultans of Gujarat.

  • Monetary Aspects of Bahmani Copper Coinage in Light of the Akola Hoard
    Monetary Aspects of Bahmani Copper Coinage in Light of the Akola Hoard Phillip B. Wagoner and Pankaj Tandon Draft: 9/24/16 **Please do not quote or disseminate without permission of the authors** The Bahmanis of the Deccan produced copper coinage from the very outset of the state’s founding in AH 748/1347 CE, but it was clearly secondary to the silver tankas upon which their monetary system was based. By the first several decades of the fifteenth century, however, as John Deyell has shown, the relative production values of silver and copper coinage had reversed, and there was an enormous expansion in copper output, both in terms of the numbers of coins produced and in terms of the range of their denominations (Fig.1).1 This phenomenon has attracted the attention of several scholars, but fundamental questions yet remain about the copper coinage and how it functioned within the Bahmani monetary system. Given the dearth of contemporary written documents shedding light on these matters, it is understandable that many would simply give up on trying to answer these questions. But to do so would be to ignore the physical, material evidence afforded in abundance by the coinage itself, including such aspects as its metrology and denominational structure, and most importantly, the indications of its usage patterns embodied within the composition and geographic distribution of individual coin hoards. Ultimately, we may wish to know why Bahmani copper coinage production should have undergone such a sudden expansion in the 1420s and 1430s, but in order to realize this goal, we must first address the physical nature of the coinage itself and what it can tell us about how it was used.
