Nasiruddin Muhammad Humayun Humayun Is a Misnomer Nasiruddin Muhammad Humayun Humayun is a misnomer. Humayun means fortunate. History is unkind to the failures and the comparative ease with which he was removed from India shows that he was unfit to rule India. He showed the qualities of an able general during his father’s life time but proved a complete failure when he became his own master. He lacked political wisdom and sagacity so essential in the medieval times. He lacked the sustained efforts and was an opium addict. He showed kindness towards his undeserving brothers. His campaign against Mehndi Khan, the governor of Jaunpur was successful in 1531 but he exhibited the lack of political wisdom by not annexing it. In 1533, Rani Karanwati, queen of Mewar and the widow of Rana Sanga sought his help when the Bahadur Shah (the ruler of Gujarat and Malwa) invaded Mewar but Humayun refused to provide her military assistance. He pardoned Sher Shah in 1532 and restored him the fort of Chunar. This proved to be the greatest blunder of his life. Stanley Lane-Poole has written: “He was one of those who never missed a chance to falter. He obliged when he found the ground slippery and finally tumbled and tumbled out of life.” Early Life and Family Humayun was born in 1508 at Kabul. Babur died on 26 December 1530 and for the next four days; Humayun faced rebellion and conspiracy from Mehndi Khwaja which eventfully failed. His royal coronation took place on 30 December in 1530. Humayun was assisted in the beginning of his career by his three brothers: 1. Kamran (He was made the governor of Kabul and Kandhar). 2. Askri (He was the governor of Sambhar in U.P.). 3. Hindal (Hindal was made the governor of Mewat). Early Annexations Humayun started his career with lofty invasions. He annexed Kalinjar fort in 1530. He lifted the siege when Mahmud Khan Lodhi, the governor of Jaunpur sought forgiveness. In 1532, Humayun laid the siege of Chunar fort where Sher Khan was conspiring against Humayun. Sher Khan requested for pardon that was granted. This was Humayun’s first political blunder. Sher Khan never pardoned him when he got the opportunity. Humayun began to spend a year in wasteful expenditure and ceremonies and merry-making. In 1533, he began the construction of his fort-cum-palace Din-i-Panahi which was later taken over by Sher Shah Sur. In 1533, Bahadur Shah, the ruler of Gujarat and Malwa invaded Mewar and Rani Karanwati sought Humayun’s assistance. It is believed that she sent a rakhi to Humayun. Humayun refused to help her as he did not want to earn the wrath of Allah by assisting a infidel against his Muslim brother. It was another blunder committed by him because later Sher Shah proved troublesome for Humayun. In 1535, Humayun led military expedition against Bahadur Shah and annexed Malwa and Gujarat. He entrusted these regions to Askri. In 1536, Bahadur Shah re-annexed Malwa and Gujarat. In one year, Humayun captured and lost both of these territories. From August 1536 to July 1537, he was busy in merry-making when he should have been on the horseback. Humayun and Sher Shah: The most serious threat for Humayun emerged from the eastern horizon in 1537 in the guise of Sher Khan. Humayun sent a military expedition against him but contrary to the advice of his general Yusuf Khel, he besieged the fort of Chunar instead of Gaud. Had he acted on Yusuf Khel’s advice, he would have got large treasures accumulated at the fort of Gauda. In March 1538, Chunar was annexed and Humayun moved towards Bengal. Sher Khan diplomatically and strategically allowed him to penetrate deep into Bengal to cut off all the lines of supply and communication. At this crucial moment, the Mughal nobility at Agra declared Hindal the Mughal emperor. When Humayun received this news he wanted to return but found all the routes to Agra and Delhi blocked by the Afghans. Battles of Chausa and Kanauj: From March to June 1539, the armies of Sher Khan and Humayun faced each other at Chausa near Varanasi. In June 1539, Humayun in utmost caution started military campaign. He was decisively defeated and was about to get drowned in river Ganges. But he was saved by Nizam, the water carrier. To show his gratitude, Humayun made him the Mughal emperor for a day and a leather coin was issued in his honour. Humayun received no assistance from his brothers. He hastily collected another army of around 90,000 men and faced Sher Shah again on 15 March 1540 on the bank of river Ganges near Kanauj. Humayun’s army had encamped at a lower place and when it rained heavily, his camp was flooded. This was the greatest military blunder of his life. When the Mughal forces were moving their equipment at a safer place, Sher Shan struck with a surprise attack. The Mughal army was defeated without firing single shot. Humayun was forced to flee from India. On his way to Persia, Akbar was born to Hamida Bano Begum near Amarkot in Sind in 1542. Humayun was joined by Bairam Khan who prevailed upon the Persian Emperor Shah Jah Nusrat who provided an army of 40,000 soldiers on two promises: He would become a Shia. He would hand over Kandhar after capturing it. Humayun did not keep both of his promises. In 1545, Humayun captured Kabul and Kandhar. Hindal died fighting for Humayun. Askri and Kamran was blinded and sent to Hajj. Thus, he got rid of his ungrateful and ingratitude brothers. In July 1555, Bairam Khan led campaign against Sikander Sur, the governor of Punjab. Sikander Sur was defeated and killed in the battle of Sirhind. Bairam Khan re-annexed Delhi and Agra for Humayun. In 1556, one day when he was studying in his library Sher Mandal, he heard Azan (Quranic prayers). He fell off the stairs and died after three days. Who wrote Humayun Nama (The Story of Humayun?) The life and career of Humayun is depicted in Humayun Nama written by his sister Gulbadan Begum. Humayun Nama is a factual account of what Gulbadan Begum remembered at the time of its composition. It tells us about Humayun life story, his struggle, challenges and the life of Mughal women in Harem. It is the only surviving text composed by a woman of Mughal royal family. It is believed that Akbar requested her to write whatever she remembered about her brother. Thus, Humayun Nama was composed. Humayun’s Contribution to Art and Culture: Humayun was the founder father of the Mughal School of painting. He brought two master-painters from Persia: Abdus Samad Syed Ali Both of them trained a large number of painters who formed the nucleus of the Mughal School of paintings. Humayun was also a great builder. He built: 1. Din-i-Panahi: It was a fort-cum-Palace. It was built by Humayun. 2. Humayun’s Tomb Humayun tomb has a double dome. The exterior is completely different from interior. This reflects a transition in the Mughal School of architecture as Indian and Persian styles began to blend and the dominant Persian style began to decline. Popular among the masses as Humayun ka Maqbara, it commenced a great cultural synthesis which was to culminate in years to come. Humayun’s tomb was constructed by his consort and first wife Bega Begum. Humayun’s tomb Delhi was the first garden structured tomb in the history of Indian architecture. Humayun grave also encompasses the tombs of Bega Begum, Hamida Bano Begum and Dara Shikoh. The best of Humayun’s character came out during his days of wandering. Besides, he was a great human being. He showed no ill-will against his brother and was virtually forced by his officers and ministers to take the action of blinding Kamran and Askri after their rebellions. Humayun UPSC is often quoted and asked about in books, articles and examinations. Important Information for the Tourists: Where is Humayun’s tomb in Delhi Located?

  • Religious Spots Within Forts and Fort Sites
    Eurasian Journal of Humanities Vol. 1. Issue 1. (2015) ISSN: 2413-9947 Religious spots within forts and fort sites: a study in cultural history of Bundelkhand region in India Purushottam Singh Vikramajit Singh Sanatan Dharm College Kanpur India [email protected] Abstract Bundelkhand geographically situated in exactly the south of the Ganges plane is memorable due to the ancient references. Firstly, saints, devotees, hermits were attracted from Ganges plane towards the isolated, solitary pleasing zone of Vindhyatavi. (Singh, Rajendra, 1994, pp.1, 2) The history of Bundelkhand starts from the Chedi dynasty. (Singh, Rajendra, 1990, pp.80-85) The two famous cities of that time Shuktimati and Shahgeet are now a matter of research. After Chedis, Gupta rulers and Harsh Vardhan became the main rulers, but Chandelas were the first ruler who constructed with the capital of the region of Chedis. (Majumdar, 1951, p.252) The Bundelas and Marathas can also be regarded in this sense. There was no fort without religious spots. The religious spots in the forts of Bundelkhand were the center of belief not only for royal families but also become the center of faith and reverence of general people. Therefore these sites have gained unique and peerless fame. The religious sites within the forts played an important role in preserving and recharging the cultural heritage up to the centuries in Bundelkhand. These became the cause of cultural and religious harmony between the royal families and general people. These religious centers always released the message of prayer, peace and wish of prosperity from the royal family. Many times these temples and other spots provided the faithful with links between the royal families and general people which resulted to be the cause of welfare rule in the region.

    Ministry of Tourism Government of India “Adopt a Heritage” ‘Apni Dharohar, Apni Pehchaan’ Project for Development of Tourist Friendly Destinations September 2017 PROJECT GUIDELINES WITH MOU www. adoptaheritage.in Page 1 of 40 GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF TOURISM ADOPT A HERITAGE ‘Apni Dharohar, Apni Pehchaan’ Project for Development of Tourist Friendly Destinations September 2017 1 Rationale India has always been renowned for its rich cultural heritage. India’s glorious past and cultural diversity make a potent blend which attracts millions of tourists each year to its tourist destinations. India's rich heritage is abundantly reflected in the form of numerous temples, palaces, monuments, forts etc. This has led to the increase in India's tourism particularly in the heritage sites. Tourism in India has registered a considerable growth in the last few years, ever since additional initiatives were taken by the government of India to boost India’s image as a destination for tourism. This also comes in the form of promotion of tourism sector as a brand name Incredible India. The heritage sites are facing common challenges primarily related to the creation and operations and maintenance of the various infrastructural as well as service assets. There is a need to develop a robust mechanism for the provision of basic amenities on an immediate basis and advanced amenities on a long term basis. This project is envisioned to synergize with other Infrastructure development schemes in collaboration with Ministry of Culture and other Ministries, with the idea of positioning tourism as a driving force for targeting more Foreign Tourist Arrivals as well as Domestic Tourist Arrivals, building synergy in the development of amenities across the identified heritage sites, enhancing overall tourist experience and economic development of the region.
