In the Name of Krishna: the Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town
In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.

16 Crew Meeting Report
13th HUSSARS ONLINE During this lockdown which has taken place due to the corona virus pandemic, we, 13th Hussars Open Rover Scout Group, have discovered a great method to keep the scouting spirit alive. When everyone was stuck at home, we Hussars were able to set a unique example. For the first time in the history of Bangladesh Scouts, a group conducted their crew meetings online and that group was 13th Hussars Open Rover Scout Group. We are not bragging, but needless to say, the use of technology by Hussars to conduct scouting activities is certainly inimitable for other groups. We do not support scouting activities being done online. We believe that scouting activities should be done practically and physically. But during this lockdown, there were no other better alternatives. For that reason, we will continue our scouting activities online until it’s safe for everyone to go outside our houses. Therefore, we are emphasising to learn the theoretical contents of the Rover Program. A special thanks to Zoom, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other online social media platforms from our family, for enabling us to make the online meetings possible during this pandemic. Some pictures with short explanation of some of the online crew meetings are given below. FIRST ONLINE CREW MEETING Online Crew Meeting 20th March 2020 - PART - 01 Flag Hoisting, Prayer Song and Patrol Report. As per the current situation of our Country we all must stay at our home to stay safe. And for the first time in the history we conducted the weekly Crew Meeting of our group virtually online with all the members of our group.

Behind the Veil:An Analytical Study of Political Domination of Mughal Women Dr
11 Behind The Veil:An Analytical study of political Domination of Mughal women Dr. Rukhsana Iftikhar * Abstract In fifteen and sixteen centuries Indian women were usually banished from public or political activity due to the patriarchal structure of Indian society. But it was evident through non government arenas that women managed the state affairs like male sovereigns. This paper explores the construction of bourgeois ideology as an alternate voice with in patriarchy, the inscription of subaltern female body as a metonymic text of conspiracy and treachery. The narratives suggested the complicity between public and private subaltern conduct and inclination – the only difference in the case of harem or Zannaha, being a great degree of oppression and feminine self –censure. The gradual discarding of the veil (in the case of Razia Sultana and Nur Jahan in Middle Ages it was equivalents to a great achievement in harem of Eastern society). Although a little part, a pinch of salt in flour but this political interest of Mughal women indicates the start of destroying the patriarchy imposed distinction of public and private upon which western proto feminism constructed itself. Mughal rule in India had blessed with many brilliant and important aspects that still are shining in the history. They left great personalities that strengthen the history of Hindustan as compare to the histories of other nations. In these great personalities there is a class who indirectly or sometime directly influenced the Mughal politics. This class is related to the Mughal Harem. The ladies of Royalty enjoyed an exalted position in the Mughal court and politics.
