  • Panipat Institute of Engineering & Technology
    www.piet.co.in PANIPAT INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY APPROVED BY AICTE, NEW DELHI & AFFILIATED TO KURUKSHETRA UNIVERSITY, KURUKSHETRA KNOW YOUR CITY - PANIPAT Panipat is a city of ancient and historic importance in the state of Haryana, India. It is located on NH-1 (Now NH-44) and comes under the National Capital Region of Delhi. Panipat was one of the five cities (prasthas) founded by the Pandava brothers during the times of the Mahabharata, its historic name thus being Panduprastha. Panipat was the scene of three pivotal battles which were the turning points of the Indian history. The First Kabuli Bagh Mosque Battle of Panipat was fought in 1526 between Ibrahim Lodhi and Babur which led to the establishment of Mughal empire in India. The Kabuli Bagh Mosque and the adjacent majestic garden with an imposing tank is a symbol of the victory of Babur over Ibrahim Lodhi. More than a religious shrine, the place is better known as a historical monument. The Second Battle of Panipat was fought in 1556 between the thirteen years old Emperor, Akbar and Hemu, in which Akbar was led to victory by his general Bairam Khan. The Third Battle of Panipat was fought in 1761 between the Afghan king Ahmad Shah Abdali and the Marathas in which Ahmad Shah won decisively. ‘Kala Amb' is a memorial built in memory of the soldiers who died in the battlefield of Panipat. It is said that blood of the dead soldiers was mixed with the soil and the fruit of a mango tree became black in color and hence the name "Kala Amb," meaning "Black Mango." Salar Gunj Gate Panipat is also the proud nativity of famous Urdu shayar Maulana Hali.

Wilkinson: Configurations of the Indic States System 63 CONFIGURATIONS OF THE INDIC STATES SYSTEM David Wilkinson In his essay "De systematibus civitatum," Martin Wight sought to clari- fy Pufendorfs concept of states-systems, and in doing so "to formulate some of the questions or propositions which a comparative study of states-systems would examine." (1977:22) "States system" is variously defined, with variation especially as to the degrees of common purpose, unity of action, and mutually recognized legitima- cy thought to be properly entailed by that concept. As cited by Wight (1977:21-23), Heeren's concept is federal, Pufendorfs confederal, Wight's own one rather of mutuality of recognized legitimate independence. Montague Bernard's minimal definition—"a group of states having relations more or less permanent with one another"—begs no questions, and is adopted in this article. Wight's essay poses a rich menu of questions for the comparative study of states systems.

  • Indian Archaeology, Epigraphy and Ancient History ABSTRACTS
    IIT Gandhinagar, August 23-24, 2012 Workshop on Indian Archaeology, Epigraphy and Ancient History ABSTRACTS Dr Shanti Pappu Prehistoric Archaeology in India: Introducing Key Issues and Future Prospects This paper presents an overview of recent issues and debates in the study of prehistoric archaeology. We present a brief overview of Indian prehistory in the context of recent studies and questions topics related to early hominin dispersals, lithic technology, palaeoenvironments and behavioural variability of populations, over a period beginning around 2 million years ago. We then situate our recent research along the southeast coast of India (Tamil Nadu), in this perspective. Our multidisciplinary approach aims at investigating the nature of prehistoric sites in this region, establishing a chronology, and examining how populations adapted to past environmental changes. We present an overview of recent aspects of our research including excavations at Attirampakkam, palaeoenvironments at this site, implications of recent attempts to date the site, and lithic technology, use of satellite remote sensing and GIS and digital technology in prehistory. We discuss future directions which prehistoric archaeology in India should take to situate it on par with studies being conducted elsewhere in the world, and ways in which collaborate research with other institutes of science and technology, may aid in establishing new directions for this subject. Since 2000, Dr Shanti Pappu has conducted excavations at the Palaeolithic site of Attirampakkam, Tamil Nadu. She is founder‐secretary, Sharma Centre for Heritage Education, Chennai, and joint editor of Man and Environment, journal of the Indian Society for Prehistoric and Quaternary Studies, Pune. She has published two books and more than 20 research publications in peer‐reviewed national and international journals, as also one children’s book and popular articles.

  • Spatial Data Modeling in Gis for Historical Restoration and Conservation of Cultural Heritage of Seven Cities of Delhi
    SPATIAL DATA MODELING IN GIS FOR HISTORICAL RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE OF SEVEN CITIES OF DELHI Madan Mohan Department of Geography, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Jamia Millia Islamia (Central University) New Delhi, INDIA [email protected], [email protected], Commission V, WG V/4 KEY WORDS: History, Human Settlement, Change, Structure, Cultural Heritage, GIS, Integration, Reconstruction ABSTRACT Delhi is one of the ancient historical and greatest cultural cities of the World. Delhi’s two monuments the Qutb Minar and Humayun’s Tomb have been declared the World Cultural Heritage sites. Delhi was built and rebuilt seven times on different sites through out the history within a triangular area of about 142.20 sq. kms. lying between the last ridge of the Aravalli Range and the River Yamuna. The remains of the seven cities of Delhi can still be seen across the landscape from the Tomar city of Lal-Kot to Siri, Tughluqabad, Jahanpanah and Firuzabad of the Sultans and then Purana-Qila and Shahjahanabad of the Mughals. Moreover, the New Delhi is historically the ‘eighth city’ built by the Britishers. The present Delhi is a complex agglomeration of built fabric which exists as evidence in the form of layers of various historic time periods. It is noteworthy to mention that the vertical and horizontal expansions have adversely been affected the historical areas as well as several cultural heritage sites particularly during the post- independence period in Delhi. Therefore, the widened role is not only to meet the challenges of development, but also to preserve and protect the different facets of the Delhi’s personality.
