    Tughlaq Dynasty: the Tughluq Dynasty Arose During the Medieval Period of India and Was of Turk-Indian Origin

    www.gradeup.co 1 www.gradeup.co Tughlaq Dynasty: The Tughluq dynasty arose during the medieval period of India and was of Turk-Indian origin. The dynasty was primarily in charge of the Sultanate of Delhi. The Tugluq dynasty reigned from 1312 until 1413 and was governed by various monarchs such as Ghazi Malik, Muhammad-bin-Tughluq, and others. During the reign of the Tughluq dynasty, India's internal and international policy underwent significant changes. Between AD 1330 to 1335, Muhammad Bin Tughlaq commanded a military campaign that brought the dynasty to its apex. Torture, brutality, and rebellions characterized its rule, resulting in the dynasty's geographic reach rapidly disintegrating after 1335 AD. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the Delhi Sultanate under the Tughlaq Dynasty, which may be utilized by students preparing for any competitive exams Tughlaq dynasty (1320-1412) Emperor Period Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq 1320-25 Muhammad Tughlaq 1325-51 Firoz Shah Tughlaq 1351-88 Mohammad Khan 1388 Ghiyassuddin Tughlaq Shah II 1388 Abu Baqr 1389-90 Nasiruddin Muhammad 1390-94 Humayun 1394-95 Nasiruddin Mahmud 1395-1412 Important Rulers of Tughlaq Dynasty and Their Policies Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq (1320-1325 A.D.) • About His Life o Ghiyas-ud-din Tughluq, also known as Ghazi Malik, founded the Tughluq dynasty. o He came from poor beginnings. o Ghazni Malik assassinated Khusrau Khan, the last ruler of the Khilji dynasty, and claimed the throne as Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq. o Death: He died in an accident while attending a victory celebration in Bengal, and his son Jauna (Ulugh Khan) replaced him as Mohammad-bin-Tughlaq.
  • The Krishna Temple Complex, Hampi: an Exploration of Its Identity As a Medieval Temple in the Contemporary Context

    The Krishna Temple Complex, Hampi: an Exploration of Its Identity As a Medieval Temple in the Contemporary Context

    THE KRISHNA TEMPLE COMPLEX, HAMPI: AN EXPLORATION OF ITS IDENTITY AS A MEDIEVAL TEMPLE IN THE CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Ashima Krishna January, 2009 © 2009 Ashima Krishna ABSTRACT Hindu temples in India have been in abundance for centuries. However, many have lost their use over time. They lie vacant and unused on vast tracts of land across the Indian subcontinent, in a time when financial resources for the provision of amenities to serve the local community are hard to come by. In the case of Hampi, this strain is felt not only by the community inhabiting the area, but the tourism sector as well. Hampi’s immense significance as a unique Medieval-city in the Indian subcontinent has increased tourist influx into the region, and added pressure on authorities to provide for amenities and facilities that can sustain the tourism industry. The site comprises near-intact Medieval structures, ruins in stone and archaeologically sensitive open land, making provision of tourist facilities extremely difficult. This raises the possibility of reusing one of the abundant temple structures to cater to some of these needs, akin to the Virupaksha Temple Complex and the Hampi Bazaar. But can it be done? There is a significant absence of research on possibilities of reusing a Hindu Temple. A major reason for this gap in scholarship has been due to the nature of the religion of Hinduism and its adherents. Communal and political forces over time have consistently viewed all Hindu temples as cultural patrimony of the people, despite legal ownership resting with the Government of India.
  • Eassy on Telangana

    Eassy on Telangana

    EASSY ON TELANGANA Telangana, the twelfth largest and twelfth most populous state of India was formed on 2nd June 2014 with Hyderabad as its capital. It falls in the southern part of the country and covers an area of approximately 114,840 square kilometres. Till 1948, major part of Telangana was ruled over by the Nizam of Hyderabad. It was known as the Telugu-speaking region of the princely state of Hyderabad which dissolved into one big state, Andhra Pradesh in the year 1956. The word 'Telangana' is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Trilinga or Trilinga Desa" which means 'the country of three lingas'. In the ancient time, Telangana was ruled by several empires namely, the Satavahana dynasty (230 BCE to 220 CE), the Kakatiya Dynasty (1083-1323), the Musunuri Nayaks (1326-1356) the Delhi Sultanate, the Bahmani Sultanate (1347-1512), Qutub Shahi dynasty (1512-1687), Mughal Empire (1687-1724) and Asaf Jahi Dynasty (1724-1948). The Nizam of Hyderabad didn't want to merge with Indian Union but to remain independent during independence but the Government of India captured Hyderabad State on 17th September 1948 after a military operation called Operation Polo. Telangana is situated on the Deccan Plateau and two major rivers Godavri and Krishna flow through it. There is hot and dry climate for major part of the year. It has three National Parks: Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park in Hyderabad district, and Mahavir Harina Vanasthali National Park and Mrugavani National Park in Ranga Reddy district. The official languages of the state are Telugu and Urdu. Telangana has 10 districts, 42 revenue divisions, and 462 mandals.

During the past several years, friends, both within the country and outside, have been asking me to write a book on Medieval India which would bring together recent thinking and research on the subject, and could be of use both to the general readers and to the students. However, 1 could not get down to the work in real earnest till I had finished my third trilogy, Historiography, Religion and State in Medieval India (1996); the two earlier ones being Medieval India: Society, Jagirdari Crisis and the Village (1982), and Mughal Religions Policies, the Rajputs and the Deccan (1993), The present work covers only the Sultanat period from 1206 to 1526.

Its three irrigation canals flowing through the city enhance its beauty so much so that some people compareVijayawada withVenice for its enchanting environment. The barrage, completed in 1957, is named after Tanguturi Prakasam Barrage Prakasam, freedom fighter and the first Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. This barrage, with modern regulators, is among the oldest irrigation projects of south India. Reservoir created by the Prakasam Barrage is a popular spot for pleasure cruise on the Bhavani Island Krishna river. The Bhavani Island is a 133-acre estuary in the Krishna river. In view of its potential, the Bhavani Island tourism authorities have developed it into a full-fledged tourist spot.
