There were many reasons behind this decision.

  • Asian Religions Chapter Ten
    PART FOUR ASIAN RELIGIONS CHAPTER TEN ESTABLISHMENT OF BUDDHIST SACRED SPACE IN CONTEMPORARY INDIA: THE AMBEDKARITE BUDDHISM, DALIT CIVIL RELIGION AND THE STRUGGLE AGAINST SOCIAL EXCLUSION Knut A. Jacobsen Introduction Although there were hardly any Buddhists in India at the time of inde- pendence in 1947, the two main symbols of the nation of India have strong Buddhist associations. The lion-capital of the Ashoka pillar from Sarnath is the national emblem of India and the Ashokan wheel from the base of the same Ashoka pillar from Sarnath is in the centre of the Indian flag. The main reason for the use of these symbols with strong Buddhist associations for the national emblem and the national flag is that it was suggested by the great leader of the Dalits, Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891–1956), who was one of the six members of the flag committee constituted in June 1947.1 Ambedkar was already at that time an admirer of the Buddha and his teaching. Ambedkar lobbied for the adoption of several other Buddhist features to become part of the Indian state between 1947 and 1950, not only the wheel of dharma in the flag and the Ashoka lion as the emblem of the nation, but also the inscription of a Buddhist aphorism on the pediment of the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the residence of the President of the Republic 1 Ambedkar proudly recalled that he got the lion capital and the Ashoka wheel adopted without anyone in the Constituent Assembly opposing it. That the Sarnath lion capital became the national emblem and the Ashoka wheel (chakra) as national symbol in the flag due to Ambedkar is a not often recognized fact.

  • 13. Indian Architecture(5.6
    Indian Architecture MODULE - V Painting, Performing Arts and Architecture Notes 13 INDIAN ARCHITECTURE t times it becomes very important to be reminded that we are that civilization which has spanned atleast 4,500 years and which has left its impact on Anearly everything in our lives and society. Imagine UNESCO has listed 830 World Heritage Sites, out of which 26 are in India. This is less than six other countries. Is this not a tangible proof of the creative genius and industry of this ancient land, people, and also of the gifts bestowed on it by nature. Be it the Bhimbetka’s pre historic rock art at one end or the innumerable palaces, mosques, temples, gurudwaras, churches or tombs and sprawling cities and solemn stupas. Going through the cities of Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Mumbai and Calcutta etc. you find many beautiful buildings. Some are monuments, palaces, temples, churches, mosques and memorials. Many of them had their foundation before Christ and many after the coming of Christ. Many generations have been a part of this architecture which stands mighty and lofty reminding us of that glorious past which has been ours. This is because art and architecture forms an important part of Indian culture. Many distinctive features that we find in the architecture today developed throughout the long period of Indian history. The earliest and most remarkable evidence of Indian architecture is found in the cities of the Harappan Civilization which boast of a unique town planning. In the post Harappan period architectural styles have been classified as Hindu, Buddhist and Jain, The medieval period saw the synthesis of Persian and indigenous styles of architecture.

  • Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi; 09.09.2014
    SPEECH BY THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA, SHRI PRANAB MUKHERJEE ON THE OCCASION OF CALL ON BY STUDENTS FROM KING’S COLLEGE, LONDON & UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi; 09.09.2014 I am indeed happy to be amidst you this evening to meet students and faculty members from King’s College, London and University of Edinburgh, Scotland. India and United Kingdom share a long tradition and history as well as a multifaceted relationship. Your presence here this evening is an important manifestation of the good will and trust which both countries enjoy. I appreciate the efforts of the UGC and Delhi University to organise a ten day short term course on ‘DISABILITY AND INCLUSION: PERCEPTIONS & ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY INDIA’, under the Connect to India programme. 1 This short term course, I am told is designed keeping in view the concept of inclusion and the needs and support systems for persons with disabilities. I am sure that such linkages would result in an enhanced mutual understanding regarding the challenges and issues in the new millennium. I am told that students of King’s College, London and University of Edinburgh, Scotland attending the present course belong to diverse disciplines of study. Coming together of students from various academic interests and backgrounds for this purpose that too in a country different from their own, points to the global appeal of India’s fresh educational endeavours. Recognizing that the marginalized sections of our society, particularly persons with disabilities are an important resource towards the overall development of our country, India has taken up a number of measures to empower persons belonging to such segments, particularly, persons with disabilities.

  • Evolution of Delhi Architecture and Urban Settlement Author: Janya Aggarwal Student at Sri Guru Harkrishan Model School, Sector -38 D, Chandigarh 160009 Abstract
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 11, Issue 10, October-2020 862 ISSN 2229-5518 Evolution of Delhi Architecture and Urban Settlement Author: Janya Aggarwal Student at Sri Guru Harkrishan Model School, Sector -38 D, Chandigarh 160009 Abstract Delhi remains one of the oldest surviving cities in the world today. It is in fact, an amalgam of eight cities, each built in a different era on a different site – each era leaving its mark, and adding character to it – and each ruler leaving a personal layer of architectural identity. It has evolved into a culturally secular city – absorbing different religions, diverse cultures, both foreign and indigenous, and yet functioning as one organic. When one thinks of Delhi, the instant architectural memory that surfaces one’s mind is one full of haphazard house types ranging from extremely wealthy bungalows of Lutyens’ Delhi to very indigenous bazaar-based complex settlements of East Delhi. One wonders what role does Architecture in Delhi have played or continue to assume in deciding the landscape of this ever changing city. Delhi has been many cities. It has been a Temple city, a Mughal city, a Colonial and a Post-Colonial city.In the following research work the development of Delhi in terms of its architecture through difference by eras has been described as well as the sprawl of urban township that came after that. The research paper revolves around the architecture and town planning of New Delhi, India. The evolution of Delhi from Sultanate Era to the modern era will provide a sense of understanding to the scholars and the researchers that how Delhi got transformed to New Delhi.

  • A Socio-Cultural Study of Delhi by Khushwant Singh and Twilight in Delhi by Ahmed Ali: a Comparative Analysis
    European Journal of Research and Reflection in Arts and Humanities Vol. 3 No. 1, 2015 ISSN 2056-5887 A SOCIO-CULTURAL STUDY OF DELHI BY KHUSHWANT SINGH AND TWILIGHT IN DELHI BY AHMED ALI: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS Dr. M. Shahbaz Arif & Hina Gull Government College University Faisalabad, PAKISTAN ABSTRACT The research is designed to explore the similarities and differences in developing socio- cultural discourse about ‘Delhi’ by two writers of different times, cultures and religions. Framework developed for this research is based initially on the works of two anthropologists cum sociologists Scupin and Erikson. Qualitative methodology is used to explain the derived aspects of culture: material culture and non-material culture. These aspects of culture have been discussed to explain the archaic and human history of the city, being propped up by three standard works on Delhi. (1) Celebrating Delhi (2) City Improbable: writing on Delhi (3) The Crisis in the Punjab from the 10th of May until the fall of Delhi. Social aspects of the novels are discussed according to the derived paradigms regarding socio-political and religio- historical aspects. In this comparative study of two novels both the texts are analyzed under the finally coined aspects of culture—‘material culture’ and ‘non material culture’. These two aspects of culture are discussed in the light of cultural theory presented by Faiz (2004). Keywords: Socio political; Religio-historical; Material Culture; Non-Material Culture; Delhi; Turmoil; Oppression; Human behavior. INTRODUCTION For the present research the selected field is socio-cultural study of Delhi. This research provides an understanding of the gradual change in the human behaviour as well as the cultural values of the same phenomena (Delhi depicted by a Muslim writer in 1940 and a Sikh writer in 1990).

I respectfully urge you to call on the appropriate authorities to immediately release Professor Saibaba. Scholars at Risk (SAR) is an international network of over 500 universities and colleges in 41 countries dedicated to protecting the human rights of scholars around the world and to raising awareness, understanding of, and respect for the principles of academic freedom and its constituent freedoms of expression, opinion, thought, association and travel. In cases like this, involving alleged infringement of these freedoms and the endangerment of peaceful scholars’ lives, SAR intervenes hoping to clarify and resolve matters favorably. Professor Saibaba is an English professor at Delhi University who has engaged in human rights activism on behalf of vulnerable populations in India, including tribal groups who suffer from poverty and human rights violations due to the prolonged conflict between India and the separatist Communist Party of India (Maoist). SAR understands that on May 9, 2014, police arrested Professor Saibaba as he left the university campus. Following the arrest, police searched his home and later claimed to have found documents and correspondence allegedly proving his connections with the CPI (Maoist) group.
