    DISTRICT PROFILE WEST CHAMPARAN INTRODUCTION West Champaran is an administrative district in the state of Bihar. West Champaran district was carved out of old champaran district in the year 1972. It is part of Tirhut division. West Champaran is surrounded by hilly region of Nepal in the North, Gopalganj & part of East Champaran district in the south, in the east it is surrounded by East Champaran and in the west Padrauna & Deoria districts of Uttar Pradesh. The mother-tongue of this region is Bhojpuri. The district has its border with Nepal, it has an international importance. The international border is open at five blocks of the district, namely, Bagha- II, Ramnagar, Gaunaha, Mainatand & Sikta, extending from north- west corner to south–east covering a distance of 35 kms . HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The history of the district during the late medieval period and the British period is linked with the history of Bettiah Raj. The British Raj palace occupies a large area in the centre of the town. In 1910 at the request of Maharani, the palace was built after the plan of Graham's palace in Calcutta. The Court Of Wards is at present holding the property of Bettiah Raj. The rise of nationalism in Bettiah in early 20th century is intimately connected with indigo plantation. Raj Kumar Shukla, an ordinary raiyat and indigo cultivator of Champaran met Gandhiji and explained the plight of the cultivators and the atrocities of the planters on the raiyats. Gandhijii came to Champaran in 1917 and listened to the problems of the cultivators and the started the movement known as Champaran Satyagraha movement to end the oppression of the British indigo planters.

  • Sources to Reconstruct the Age of the Mauryas
    Assignment 11 Class IX History Chapter - 5 The Mauryan Empire Note: ● The Study Material consists of 3 parts - ○ Part I - The important highlights of the chapter. ○ Part II - The activity based on the chapter. ○ Part III - The questions based on the study material you need to answer in your respective notebook and submit when you are back to the school. SOURCES TO RECONSTRUCT THE AGE OF THE MAURYAS There are many sources that reconstruct the age of the Mauryas. Literary Sources Among the literary sources, mention may be made of Indica, written by Megasthenes, the ​ Greek ambassador to Pataliputra. From his book we get a lot of information about Mauryan administration and life of the people. The book Arthshastra is attributed to Kautilya or Chanakya. It provides details of the art of administration, society and economy in the age of ​ the Mauryas. The Vayu Purana and Matsya Purana give a list of rulers of different dynasties, ​ Mauryas being one of them. Vishakadatta's Mudrarakshasa is considered to be the best historical drama in the whole of Sanskrit literature. It throws light on the position of the Nandas and the activities of Chandragupta Maurya and Chanakya. It also gives us an idea of the social life of people in those days. Archaeological Sources The Rock Edicts of Ashoka-are the most reliable sources of information for Ashoka's rule. ​ ​ Ashoka in Rock Edict XII prescribes the following rules to be followed: ​ (i) Non-violence abstention from killing of living beings, (ii) Truthfulness, (iii) Obedience to parents and elders, and (iv) Respect towards teachers.

  • The Translation of Buddhism in the Funeral Architecture of Medieval China
    religions Article The Translation of Buddhism in the Funeral Architecture of Medieval China Shuishan Yu School of Architecture, Northeastern University, Boston, MA 02115, USA; [email protected] Abstract: This article explores the Buddhist ritual and architectural conventions that were incor- porated into the Chinese funeral architecture during the medieval period from the 3rd to the 13th centuries. A careful observation of some key types of sacred architectural forms from ancient East Asia, for instance, pagoda, lingtai, and hunping, reviews fundamental similarities in their form and structure. Applying translation theory rather than the influence and Sinicization model to analyze the impact of Buddhism on Chinese funeral architecture, this article offers a comparative study of the historical contexts from which certain architectural types and imageries were produced. It argues that there was an intertwined mutual translation of formal and ritual conventions between Buddhist and Chinese funeral architecture, which had played a significant role in the formations of both architectural traditions in Medieval China. Keywords: Buddhist architecture; funeral architecture; Chinese architecture; pagoda; lingtai; xiang- tang; mubiao; hunping; mingqi; mingtang 1.

  • Mirror on Bettiah Raj & Wildlife
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR INNOVATIVE RESEARCH IN MULTIDISCIPLINARY FIELD ISSN – 2455-0620 Volume - 2, Issue - 11, Nov - 2016 MIRROR ON BETTIAH RAJ & WILDLIFE: A PLACE TO VISIT Sanjiv Kumar Sharma Assistant Professor, School of Hospitality and Tourism Management SRM University, Sikkim, India Email: [email protected] Abstract: The Diwani Bettiah Raj held the largest territory under its jurisdiction. It consisted of all of Champaran except for a small portion held by the Ram Nagar Raj (also held by Bhumihars). Bettiah Raj also came into being as a result of mallikana chaudharai, the connection with the revenue administration building on local dominance and the capability of controlling and protecting hundreds of villages. Internal disputes and family quarrels divided the Raj in course of time. The last zamindar was Harendra Kishore Singh, who was born in 1854 and succeeded his father, Rajendra Kishore Singh in 1883. In 1884, he received the title of Maharaja Bahadur as a personal distinction and a Khilat and a send from the Lieutenant Governor of Bengal, Sir Augustus Rivers Thompson. He was created a Knight Commander of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire on 1 March 1889. He was appointed a member of the Legislative Council of Bengal in January 1891. He was also a member of The Asiatic Society He was the last ruler of Bettiah Raj. West Champaran District was carved out of the old Champaran District in the year 1972 as a result of re-organization of the District in the state. It was formerly a subdivision of Saran District and then Champaran District with its Headquarters as Bettiah.

  • Satyagraha-In-Champaran.Pdf
    SATYAGRAHA IN CHAMPARAN BY RAJENDRAPRASAD NAVAJIVAN PUBLISHING HOUSE AHMEDABAD Second Revised Edition, September, 1949 : 3,000 Copies Two Rupees Four Annas Printed ana jruoupaed Jivanji Dahyabhai JJesai, rjy' Navajivan Press, italupur, Ahmedabad PUBLISHERS' NOTE After his return to India from South Africa in 1914 Gandhiji tried his method of Satyagraha on what may be called a mass scale for the first time in Champaran. How he was led to take up the cause of the oppressed Champaran ryot and how as a result was compelled to civilly defy a police order for the first time on Indian soil has been graphically describ- ed by him in l\is Autobiography. About the Cham- " paran Satyagraha he however wrote : To give a full account of the Champaran enquiry would be to nar- rate the history, for the period, of the Champaran ryot, which is out of the question in these chapters. The Champaran enquiry was a bold experiment with truth and ahimsa. For the details the reader must turn to Sjt. Rajendraprasad's history of the Cham- paran Satyagraha." The Champaran experiment forms a vital chap- ter in the development of the Satyagraha method in India. It is no exaggeration to say that to all stu- dents of Gandhiji's method of social and political work a knowledge of the detailed history of the experiment is indispensable. It is certainly lucky for the future students of Satyagraha that a man of the intellectual eminence of Dr. Rajendraprasad was one of the batch of the Bihar lawyers who joined Gandhiji in his campaign.

  • The Mauryan Age(322BC-184BC)
    Magadh Mahila college, Patna University Department of History Bhawana singh (Guest Faculty) Email id- [email protected] Mobile Number-7909027756 Unit -5 , B.A. 1st year The Mauryan Age(322BC-184BC) The establishment of Mauryan empire was a turning point in the history of Indian territory. The control of this massive empire continued for over a long period of almost 140years over of large part of northern India. After the overthrow of the Nanda Dynasty at Magadh the Mauryas came to prominence. The empire came into being when Chandragupta Maurya stepped into the vaccum created by the departure of Alexander of Macedonia from the western borders of India. In his rise to power, he was aided and counseled by his chief minister Kautilya, who wrote the Arthashastra, a compendium of kingship and governance. Sources of Mauryan Empire: The history of their rule is rendered comparatively reliable on account of evidence obtained from a variety of sources. There are three types of sources available about the Mauryan Empire. Literary Source: Brahmanical Literature: 1. Arthashastra of Kutilya/Chanakya/Vishnugupta; It is a detailed work on statecraft. Kautilya‟s work consist of 15 volumes(Adhikarnas). The first five deals with internal administration (tantra), the next eight with inter-state relations (avapa), and the last two with miscellaneous topics. 2. Indica of Megasthense: This book was based on his travels and experience in India. The book has not survived but fragments are preserved in later Greek and Latin works, the earliest and most important of which are those of Diodorus, Strabo, Arrian, Pliny. 3.
