  • Political Role of Women During Medieval Period
    International Journal of Research in Social Sciences Vol. 8 Issue 1, January 2018, ISSN: 2249-2496 Impact Factor: 7.081 Journal Homepage: http://www.ijmra.us, Email: [email protected] Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal - Included in the International Serial Directories Indexed & Listed at: Ulrich's Periodicals Directory ©, U.S.A., Open J-Gage as well as in Cabell’s Directories of Publishing Opportunities, U.S.A An Analytical Study: Political Role of Women during Medieval Period Ms. ShabnamBharti* Abstract In fifteen and sixteen centuries Indian ladies were generally expelled from the open or political movement because of the male-centric structure of Indian culture. As a rule, ladies now were viewed as substandard compared to men and their obligations were basically limited to the home and family life. Various ladies, be that as it may, could rise above the bounds of societal desires to end up noticeably conspicuous ladies in medieval society. It was clear through non-government fields that ladies dealt with the state issues like male sovereigns. Razia Sultana turned into the main lady ruler to have ruled Delhi. Chand Bibi guarded Ahmednagar against the intense Mughal powers of Akbar in the 1590s. Jehangir's significant other NurJahan successfully employed supreme power and was perceived as the genuine power behind the Mughal royal position. The Mughal princesses Jahanara and Zebunnissa were notable writers and furthermore impacted the decision powers. Shivaji's mother, Jijabai, was ruler official due to her capacity as a warrior and a director. Mughal ladies indicated incredible pride in the activity of energy.

  • Wives of Mughal Emperors
    Chapter VII Mughal society through the lens of fashion culture- Mughals lived a life of luxury. Their palaces in which they lived were fabulously made. They had many wives. They were very fond of music and dance, food and especially beautiful and costly costumes. They had big gardens and pools in their palaces. They really lived like kings as kings should. But Babur and Humayun led a very turbulent life. They move from one battleground to the other and could not settle down to a peaceful life. It was Akbar who founded the institutions which determined the course of the life of his descendants.1 The Mughals did not have family life in the right sense of the term if we wish to put it. The legally married wives, concubines and slave girls, young and beautiful, who were numerous in count, were attached to the emperor‟s bed. The emperor alone presided over the harem like the golden cock among his gilded hens.2 (Plate no.23) Wives of Mughal Emperors:- An extremely important place in the Mughal harem was occupied by emperor‟s wives. All the Mughal emperors had many wives but all the wives did not enjoy the same equal status. Only the chief queen and other prominent queens lived in big Mahals and enjoyed great luxuries.3 The chief queens of Babur, the founder of Mughal dynasty, as recorded by Gulbadan begam, were- Ayisha Sultana Begam, Zainab Sultana Begam, Maham Begam, Masuma Sultan Begam, Gul-rukh Begam, Dildar Begam and Bibi Mubarika. The Afghan lady among them who was Humayun‟s mother, Maham Begam, was the chief queen.

How do they live with and attempt to resolve the contradiction of an Islam that is the source of all that is good and worthwhile and an Islam that stands for backwardness, fanaticism, and terror? This dissertation, based on twenty four months of participant observation in India (Delhi) and the United States (New York City), focuses on how middle-class Muslims in these two sites are re-making what it means to be a pious Muslim and a modern person, as they live their everyday lives in ways that demonstrate that it is entirely possible to be both religious and modern in a world which routinely places Islam in an antithetical relation to modernity. I argue that given the insistent dominant representations of Muslims as anti-modern and backward, Muslims cannot help but engage with the discourses that produce them as such.

  • Commonwealth Game and Its Impact on Our Tourism Industry” “A Study in the Light of Commonwealth Games Delhi 2010” Anurupa B Singh*, Suman Kumar** & Gunjesh Kumar**
    “Commonwealth game and its impact on our tourism Industry” “A Study in the light of Commonwealth games Delhi 2010” Anurupa B Singh*, Suman Kumar** & Gunjesh Kumar** Abstract World Events like Olympics, Commonwealth Games, and Asian Games have far reaching impact on the economy of the country hosting it. Tourism industry is often the one which benefits the most. India is gearing up to host the Commonwealth 2010.The purpose of the study is to judge the effect of these events on the developing nations. The impact which leads to development of infrastructural projects along with simultaneous up gradation of public amenities. Looking into the other side of the coin, it also leads to displacement of large number of poor people who flock these big cities for employment. Also investment of huge amount of funds for these projects is particularly eminent in case of developing countries like India. The paper studies the cases of Beijing Olympics to be held in China (2008) and Barcelona Olympics in Spain (1992). The rationality of these games to be held in Delhi is explored by comparing the experiences of Asian Games held in Delhi (1982). The CWG is going to be the first mega-event hosted by Delhi since the 1982 Asian Games, a gap of nearly thirty years. Much has changed, and yet much remains to be unchanged in this time. India is preparing to break out on the world scene as an economic superpower, and the games are a step in propelling India on to the world stage. Yet India is still a poor country, ranked 127 out of 177 in the Human Development Index (HDI), and therefore one must question the rationale of spending more than a billion dollars on a sporting event.

  • Unblinding History Through Literature in Tanushree Podder's, Escape
    International Letters of Social and Humanistic Sciences Online: 2015-06-02 ISSN: 2300-2697, Vol. 53, pp 60-67 doi:10.18052/www.scipress.com/ILSHS.53.60 CC BY 4.0. Published by SciPress Ltd, Switzerland, 2015 Unblinding history through literature in Tanushree Podder’s, Escape from Harem Manimangai Mani English Department, Faculty of Modern Languages and Communication Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia E-mail address: [email protected] Keywords: invasion; massacre; filicide; fratricide; harem ABSTRACT The history of India had been coloured by series of brutal invasion, torture, bloodshed and massacre in the name of religion and conquest. One of the most remembered invasions is by the Mughals in the beginning of 16th. century where Babar successfully established the Mughal dynasty in 1526. The Mughal dynasty, from the eyes of the historians is one of the most dynamic dynasty which possessed splendour, wealth, bravery, artistic architecture and conquerors who fought to glorify Islam. While historians and history were limited to the study of chronological events, the historical novel Escape from Harem took the liberty to peep into the human and humanity of this dynasty; a scope which is deep irrelevant in the study of history. This paper intends to show how Tanushree Podder exposes some unknown episodes from the history of these great conquerors and builders through her novel, Escape from Harem. Strings of episodes and secrets which may not be deemed important by historians are revealed as the readers follow the journey of the girl who is taken into the harem. These episodes will be seen in the light of new historicism.
