Economy of Transport in Mughal India ECONOMY OF TRANSPORT IN MUGHAL INDIA ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Bottor of ^t)tla£foplip ><HISTORY S^r-A^. fi NAZER AZIZ ANJUM % 'i A ^'^ -'mtm''- kWgj i. '* y '' «* Under the Supervision of PROFESSOR SHIREEN MOOSVI CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY 4LIGARH (INDIA) 2010 ABSTRACT ]n Mughal India land revenue (which was about 50% of total produce) was mainly realised in cash and this resulted in giving rise to induced trade in agricultural produce. The urban population of Mughal India was over 15% of the total population - much higher than the urban population in 1881(i.e.9.3%). The Mughal ruling class were largely town-based. At the same time foreign trade was on its rise. Certain towns were emerging as a centre of specialised manufactures. These centres needed raw materials from far and near places. For example, Ahmadabad in Gujarat a well known centre for manufacturing brocade, received silk Irom Bengal. Saltpeter was brought from Patna and indigo from Biana and adjoining regions and textiles from Agra, Lucknow, Banaras, Gazipur to the Gujarat ports for export. This meant development of long distance trade as well. The brisk trade depended on the conditions and techniques of transport. A study of the economy of transport in Mughal India is therefore an important aspect of Mughal economy. Some work in the field has already been done on different aspects of system of transport in Mughal India. This thesis attempts a single study bringing all the various aspects of economy of transport together. The most prevalent mode of transport was pack animals in Mughal India while carts were also used to a lesser extent. Pack oxen were used for carrying the goods of bulk in most of the regions whereas, camels were employed in the North-Western part of the empire, and in other rocky and hilly regions; mules, asses, indigenous breeds of horses were the other beats of burden used for carrying trade. Chapter 2 deals in detail with means of land transport covering the breeding, prices etc. of the beast of burden and cost of transport, speed and turnover of trade on different routes and by different means. Mughal India had considerable coastal area and many navigable rivers, therefore coastal and river navigation played important role in carrying both the goods of bulk as well as high-grade products. The Ganga River System and Indus Rivers System were the main navigable system which contributed much in transportation of merchandise by utilising various types of vessels. Whereas most of merchandise was carried mainly on Ganga River System from Bengal up to Agra, Indus River System proved main route for merchandise from Lahore to Thatta. Coastal navigation was also noticeable and merchandise were transported from Bay of Bengal in the East to Gujarat a major centre of manufacture and over-sea trade of the empire in the west. Though different types of boats were built locally at various places, major centres for ship and boat building were Surat and Swally in Gujarat, Badgara on Malabar Coast, Narsapur and Madapollam on Coromandel Coast and Balasore in the Bay of Bangal and on the land Lahore was also a shipbuilding centre. Details about these besides the characteristics of Indian shipbuilding and cost and prices of indigenous as well as European vessels, freight charges have been discussed in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 covers the description of the main land and river routes, also covering aspects such as types of land routes, their surface, various facilities provided on the routes such as kos-minars, avenues of trees on the sides, the halting places such as sarais (inns), bridges and various fording places on the rivers to continue the land routes etc.; and types of rivers such as perennial and seasonal rivers. Conditions prevailing on the land routes and highways and the difficulties faced by the merchants are also discussed in this chapter. The conditions of security on the routes, whether inland or coastal or on seas and mechanism of security attempted by the Mughal administration and merchants themselves with special attention to system of insurance has been discussed in the Chapter 5. On the land routes, the smooth flow of transport was affected by exactions of various legal and illegal tolls and cesses ~ generally called rahdari. The burden of these taxes and exactions differed from region to region depending upon the degree of imperial and administrative control. An often used arrangement for security on the routes was to undertake journey in a caphila {qafila) or caravan. The system of hundi (bills of exchange) and buna was an important private arrangement in Mughal India. This institution was so efficient that even the Imperial revenues were transmitted through it. The complains of insecurity by certain merchants appears to be exaggeration in face of recorded experience of Manrique, Taverniers and others as well as the elaborate arrangements for security made by the Mughal administration. The routes passing entirely through the imperial land were safer in comparison to the routes passing through the region of the tributary chiefs and neighbouring kingdoms. In 1820, merchants had to insure their merchandise by paying more even for less distance than they paid in the Mughal period. As the rate of insurance is the best indicator of level of safety on the routes, one can perhaps assume that the level of safety on the routes during the Mughal period was better than that in the regime of the English East India Company. As far as security in the coastal trade or on the high seas is concerned, the major problem was indeed piracy by the Portuguese, and other European trading companies, and private pirates, outsiders as well as Indian. The piracy was a continual menace on the ocean, but there were several methods, adopted by merchants and ship-owners to save themselves and their trade to a great extent. This lack of safety appears to have led to development of marine insurance and bottomry. For this study a large number of sources Persian as well European have been utilised. Persian sources such as Akbarnama and its last volume known as Ain-i Akhari of Abu-1 Fazl, the most important repositories of information on nearly all aspects, Tuzuk of Jahangir, Padshahnama of Abdul Hamid Eahori, Tarikh-i Mazhar-i Shahjahani (c.1634) of Yusuf Mirak, Fathiya-i Ihriya of Shihabuddin Talish, Alamgirnama of Muhammad Kazim, Mirat-i Ahmadi of Ali Muhammad Khan, etc. proved very important. Various primary documents like Blochet, supp. Pers. 482, Waqa-i Ajmer, &c., A.D. 1678-80, a report sent by a waqia navis of Ajmer and epistolary collections such as collections made by Balkrishn Brahman, Durrul Ulum, a collection of papers belonging to Munshi Gopal Rai Surdaj, Ruqat-i Alamgiri, a collection of letters and orders of Aurangzeb (Add. 18881) and Persian geographical accounts, such as Haft Iqlim (Or. 204) of Amin Ahmad Razi and Chahar Gulshan of Rai Chaturman Saksena etc. yielded value data on most of the aspects. A large number of European sources in the fonn of travelogues such as that of Ralph Fitch, Finch, Withington, Coryat, Terry, Delia Valle, Mundy, Manrique, Tavernier, Bernier, Fryer, Hamilton, etc., diaries of Pieter van den Broeke, Strenysham Master, etc. and reports of the various factors of the European trading Companies such as the Factory Records of the English East India Company, the Dutch Company and those of Denmark, France supplemented the information.

The discord of views relates to the classification and explanation of historical processes behind it, and also to the interpretation and articulation of its impact on political and socio- economic conditions of the country. Most historians sought to explain the imperial crisis from the angle of medieval society in general, relating it to the character and quality of people, and the roles of the diverse classes.

  • Conference About Succession
    A CONFERENCE ABOUT THE NEXT SUCCESSION 1 ________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: The document below is a modern-spelling edition of A Conference about the Next Succession to the Crown of England. The frame story of A Conference is a fictitious conference in Amsterdam in the spring of 1593, fully described in the Preface to Part I. In that fictitious frame story, the principal speakers are two lawyers, the one an expert in the civil law of England, the other an expert in the common law. This frame story in itself makes it clear that the author himself had a legal background. The civil lawyer puts forward his arguments in Part I (or rather, the author of A Conference puts forward his arguments through the mouth of the fictitious civil lawyer). In Part II, it is the turn of the fictitious expert in the common law. The title page promises that ‘a new & perfect arbour or genealogy of the descents of all the Kings and Princes of England from the Conquest unto this day’ can be found at the end of the tract whereby the claims of all the current pretenders to the English crown will be made plain. This ‘arbour’ or genealogy may have been based on the work of Francis Peto (see below, and TNA SP 70/137, ff. 319-21). Unfortunately this promise is not fulfilled. The ‘arbour or genealogy’ does not appear, suggesting that the author of A Conference did not play a role in the book’s publication. A Conference is a well organized and well thought out presentation.

Scholar, The Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India (ICFAI) University Dehradun – 248197, India Abstract: This paper deals with a community of Jogis which is fighting for its survival in all phases and in each place (country). They are found in major religions but undeveloped and considered to be of low social status in all subcontinents and are victim of society. This community did that type of work for their livelihood which no other community does but they do it for their survival and livelihood. In this paper I throw the light upon the present living conditions and origin of Jogis in Afghanistan and their connections with Jogis of Jain origin these both communities are very petite in number now and the Jogis of Jain origin are may be now fully extinct. Keywords: Jogis; Jainism; Gorakhnath; Afghanistan; Tazkira(citizenship proof); Punjab; Rawal. 1. Introduction The Jogis as a community cannot be said to have any history; there are many branches into which they are split ranging from all Indian subcontinent (including Afghanistan) and pursuing various religions and different way of life. In many reports of UN there are disambiguate that Jogis came from Central Asia (Zahir, 2012) or of Jat origin (Samuel Hall Consulting, 2011),they are of a bigger ethnic group of Jogis which are of indegenious origin, they have a great past and culture they are basically followers of Gorakhnath or of his disciple, so they still live and uses customary beliefs and follow native culture.
