    E. V. Smirnova SOME NOTES on TRADITIONAL MARATHA

    E. V. Smirnova SOME NOTES ON TRADITIONAL MARATHA JEWELLERY ABSTRACT. The history of Indian jewelry goes back to about five thousand years. During its history, India has been conquered numerous times. However, despite the foreign influence, Indian culture has not lost its identity. The Marathas are carriers of a unique subculture, located at the junction of the Aryan and Dravidian worlds. While the political and socio-economical history of Maharashtra is well studied, there is a considerable lack of research on the culture of the Marathas. Meanwhile, the material culture of the Marathas has its own characteristics, particularly Maratha jewelries arouse profound interest. Ornaments of a Maratha woman is not just a decoration but a special language speaking to others about her status and the events of her life. Jewelry is a family treasury and amulets. Some of the ornaments in modern Maharashtra are known by Persian names, which is incorrectly attributed to their non-Indian origin. Much Maratha jewelry have an ancient history, evidenced in the paintings of Ajanta, sculptural groups, etc. This study provides a brief overview of some pieces of the Maratha jewelry. They are divided into several groups: jewelry for the head, nose ornaments, ear ornaments, neck ornaments, arm ornaments, ornaments for the hand, rings, ornaments for the waist, foot ornaments. The article provides local terms, descriptions of jewelry, their mention in historical sources and cultural monuments. KEYWORDS: Deccan, Maharashtra, Maratha, jewelry, neck ornaments, ear ornaments, rings, feet ornaments, waist ornaments УДК 391.7(=214.35) DOI 10.31250/2618-8600-2019-4(6)-172-180 SMIRNOVA Ekaterina Viktorovna — Associate Professor, St Petersburg State University (Russia St Petersburg) E-mail: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The historical background of Indian jewelry takes us back to the history of the country itself as both are almost equally old.

The Portuguese, Dutch, French and the English came to India to promote trade and commerce. The English who established the East-India Co. in 1600, gradually consolidated their hold in different parts of India. They had very capable men like Sir. Thomas Roe, Colonel Close, General Smith, Elphinstone, Grant Duff etc . The English shrewdly exploited the disunity among the Indian rulers. They were very diplomatic in their approach. Due to their far sighted policies, the English were able to expand and consolidate their rule in Maharashtra. 2 The Company’s government had trapped most of the Maratha rulers in Subsidiary Alliances and fought three important wars with Marathas over a period of 43 years (1775 -1818). 1.2 POLITICAL CONDITIONS BEFORE THE BRITISH CONQUEST : The Company’s Directors sent Lord Wellesley as the Governor- General of the Company’s territories in India, in 1798.

Thirty Five [35.00] 3f Publishers BAL SAVARKAR Savarkar Sadan, Bombay—28 3f Associate Publishers & Sole Distributors Rajdhani Granthagar, 59, H IV Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi—24 (India) Jf. Printers AJAY PRINTERS Navin Shahdara, Delhi—32. PUBLISHER'S NOTE This is the last work of Veer Savarkarji which he oompleted during his illness and old age. After its Marathi and Hindi editions have been Circulated, we feel it a matter of profound pleasure and pride to offer to the public the English version of the book. How far the book has been popular can easily be seen from the fact that its Hindi and JUarathi editions have been published repeatedly. The author wanted to translate this voluminous work into English himself, but he could not do so because of his failing health. His world famous book, The Indian War of Inde­ pendence, 1857 was translated into English from the original Marathi by his several patriot colleagues, but the final touch given to the book was of the author himself. He wrote Hindutva and Hindu-Pad-Padashahi originally in English, Savarkar was a writer of great eminence in Marathi, Besides the charm of language, there is a striking originality in his writings, and thought is paramount. Hence the neces­ sity of making his work available in other languages arises invariably. But translation, they say, is like a faithless mistress.

    BA Semester VI- Maratha History 1707-1818 AD (HISKB 602) Dr. Mukesh Kumar (Department of History) KMC Language University Lucknow, U.P.-226013 UNIT-I Chhatrapati Shahu- Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj also known as Rajarshi Shahu was considered a true democrat and social reformer. First Maharaja of the princely state of Kolhapur, he was an invaluable gem in the history of Maharashtra. Greatly influenced by the contributions of social reformer Jyotiba Phule, Shahu Maharaj was an ideal leader and able ruler who was associated with many progressive and path breaking activities during his rule. From his coronation in 1894 till his demise in 1922, he worked tirelessly for the cause of the lower caste subjects in his state. Primary education to all regardless of caste and creed was one of his most significant priorities. He was born Yeshwantrao in the Ghatge family in Kagal village of the Kolhapur district as Yeshwantrao Ghatge to Jaisingrao and Radhabai in June 26, 1874. Jaisingrao Ghatge was the village chief, while his wife Radhabhai hailed from the royal family of Mudhol. Young Yeshwantrao lost his mother when he was only three. His education was supervised by his father till he was 10-year-old. In that year, he was adopted by Queen Anandibai, widow of Kingh Shivaji IV, of the princely state of Kolhapur. Although the adoption rules of the time dictated that the child must have Bhosale dynasty blood in his vein, Yeshwantrao’s family background presented a unique case. He completed his formal education at the Rajkumar College in Rajkot and took lessons of administrative affairs from Sir Stuart Fraser, a representative of the Indian Civil Services.

    COLONIALISM and the COUNTRYSIDE 259 Revenue Demand

    257 Colonialism and the THEME Countryside TEN Exploring Offfficial ArAricial ccchivhivhiveseses In this chapter you will see what colonial rule meant to those who lived in the countryside. You will meet the zamindars of Bengal, travel to the Rajmahal hills where the Paharias and the Santhals lived, and then move west to the Deccan. You will look at the way the English East India Company (E.I.C.) established its raj in the countryside, implemented its revenue policies, what these policies meant to different sections of people, and how they changed everyday lives. Laws introduced by the state have consequences for people: they determine to an extent who grows richer and who poorer, who acquires new land and who loses the land they have lived on, where peasants go when they need money. As you will see, however, people were not only subject to the working of laws, they also resisted the law by acting according to what they believed to be just. In doing so people defined the way in which laws operated, thereby modifying their consequences. You will also come to know about the sources that tell us about these histories, and the problems historians face in interpreting them. You will read about revenue records and surveys, journals and accounts left by surveyors Fig. 10.1 and travellers, and reports produced Cotton being carried from the village to the mandi, by enquiry commissions.
