  • The Moghal Empire Xvi PREFACE Published in the Original Text and in Translation
    The Moghal Empire xvi PREFACE published in the original text and in translation. We need better integration of the Indian and European sources by someone who reads Rajasthani, Persian, French, and Dutch, for example. For such new work our best hope lies in the originality of young historians from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Finally, my most important goal is to offer a one-volume synthesis that will be comprehensible to the non-specialist. I hope that this book can be read with profit by anyone interested in this most fascinating of historical periods. If successful, the volume should create a context for further reading and study. In writing this volume I have become deeply conscious of my debt to colleagues in this field. I am especially grateful to Irfan Habib, Ashin Das Gupta, Satish Chandra, Tapan Raychaudhuri, and M. Athar Ali for their inspired scholarship and leadership in Mughal history over the past decades. Peter Hardy and Simon Digby have provided warm support and encouragement for my work over the years. A more immediate debt is to my two fellow editors, Gordon Johnson and Christopher Bayly, for their patience and their criticism. I especially wish to thank Muzaffar Alam for his incisive comments on an earlier draft. I have also benefited from discussions with Catherine Asher, Stewart Gordon, Bruce Lawrence, Om Prakash, Sanjay Subrahmanyam, and Ellen Smart. And, as always, I must thank my wife and children for their continuing love and understanding. 1 INTRODUCTION The Mughal empire was one of the largest centralized states known in pre-modern world history.

  • Punjab & Haryana
    © Lonely Planet Publications 258 Punjab & Haryana Enter the land of the Sikhs. Gurdwaras replace temples as the most popular places of worship, Blender’s Pride replaces Royal Stag as the choice whisky, and the personable, turban-clad population generally provide a break from the stresses found elsewhere in India. Punjab may share a (Sikh) prime minister with the rest of India, but feels distinct from the other states. Of course, this doesn’t mean visitors should expect to escape the idiosyncrasies and inefficien- cies that make travel in India such hair-tearing fun. Even in Chandigarh – an Indian city like no other, designed by the modernist architect Le Corbusier and inhabited by the hippest young urbanites north of Mumbai (Bombay) – cows hold up new cars cruising the straight roads. Indeed many parts of Punjabi culture, from butter chicken to bhangra music, strike visitors as quintessentially Indian. This is because Punjab, with more ex-patriots than any other state, has exported its culture far and wide. Another benefit of this foot-loose population is the foreign remittances that have helped make Punjab the most developed state. This isn’t to say there aren’t social problems – it’s riddled with heroin and opium near the Pakistan border. And amid the modernisation, a strong sense of the past remains at sites such as Amritsar’s Golden Temple – Sikhism’s holiest shrine and one of India’s most beautiful buildings. Haryana, home of Kurukshetra, split from Punjab in 1966. Along with its Sikh neighbour, the largely Hindu state is called the ‘wheat belt’ or ‘bread basket’ for its agricultural prowess.

  • 126 DEVELOPMENT of EDUCATION in NABHA STATE Jony Garg
    International Journal of Interdisciplinary Research in Arts and Humanities (IJIRAH) Impact Factor: 5.225, ISSN (Online): 2456 - 3145 (www.dvpublication.com) Volume 3, Issue 1, 2018 DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATION IN NABHA STATE Jony Garg Desh Bhagat University, State Highway, Amloh Road, Fatehgarh Sahib, Mandi Gobindgarh, Punjab Cite This Article: Jony Garg, “Development of Education in Nabha State”, International Journal of Interdisciplinary Research in Arts and Humanities, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page Number 126-131, 2018. For a long time the Nabha State had no regular systems of education. In fact, education was not considered to be the concern of the State but that of the priestly class. There were Pathshalas of the Hindus and Madrasas of the Muslims. The work of imparting education in these institutions was mainly done by the priestly class, i.e. by the Brahmans in the Pathshalas and the Mullas or the Maulvis in the Madrasas. There were no fees levied in these institutions. The teachers received voluntary offerings in cash or in grain at each harvest from the villagers. The primary object of the education is to make the people better men and better citizens. A State that does no spend enough on education suffers in prosperity as well as in civilization. In 1863 A.D. Raja Bharpur Singh attempted to modernise the education system in the Nabha State by established a school in Nabha with one teacher in English and another for Arabic and Persian1. But it was in the time of Raja Hira Singh that some substantial progress was made in the development of education on modern lines in the State.

The wall paintings here are an example of early art which is also almost extinct. The art of mural painting was present in Punjab, as a way of decorating walls, up to the seventeenth century. At several places popular paintings and drawings were seen as murals or in the form of frescos. The remnants of wall embellishments thus are seen all over Punjab. This current paper is being written with the hope of evaluating methodologies for conserving our structures and our tangible heritage before it is lost forever. A sense of belonging and a sense of ownership must be developed for this feeling and work to evolve. While this is crucial for our heritage it is also important for our National pride.
