He's come to open trade for “barbaric” England and squeeze out the Portuguese, who try to kill him at every turn. But once on land, he’s captive: the beauty and romance of the exquisite Moghul Empire seduce him from his material goals to a new quest – of supreme sensuality in music, visions, and sacred lovemaking. India, ruled by the son of great Akbar, is about to pass to one of his sons. Hawksworth must choose sides, but will he choose right? The future of England, and of India, depend on it. -

Short Communication Demographic structure and abundance of Asiatic lions Panthera leo persica in Girnar Wildlife Sanctuary, Gujarat, India K ausik B anerjee,Yadvendradev V.

Lions have been driven almost to extinction in Asia coastal scrub and agro-pastoral areas covering c. 10,000 km2. (Kinnear, 1920; Pocock, 1930; Divyabhanusinh, 2005). The In May 2008 the Government of Gujarat declared 180 km2 only surviving free-ranging Asiatic lion Panthera leo persica of the sacred Girnar forests a Wildlife Sanctuary.

Medieval History of Madhya Pradesh
www.gradeup.co Medieval History of Madhya Pradesh As we reached towards an era of the medieval period, the Muslims started to explore the land of Madhya Pradesh. Sultan Alauddin Khalji was the first one to reach Malwa and rule it. Then Tughlaqs came to the power and ruled the region for some time. Since 1305, Malwa with the capital Dhar had been under the control of Tughlaqs. In 1401, Dilawar Khan and his son Alp Khan declared themselves independent and marked the beginning of a dynasty. Gauri Dynasty • After Tughlaqs, Dilawar Khan Gauri established an independent sultanate at Malwa. • In 1392, Dilawar Khan asserted his freedom and founded an independent kingdom known as Malwa Sultanate. • He chose Dhar as its capital and later shifted it to Mandu. Mandu was renamed as Shadiabad (the city of joy). • His son Alp Khan changed his name to Hoshang Shah and founded Hoshangabad. • But the Gauris couldn't rule for long. After poisoning the grandson of Hoshang Shah, Mohammad Khalji came to the throne. • The dynasty was replaced by Mehmood Shah I who proclaimed himself king on 16th May 1436. Khalji Dynasty • Mahmud Shah founded the Khalji Dynasty in Malwa. • Mahmud Shah, I was succeeded by his son Ghiyas-ud-din. • The last days of Ghiyas-ud-din were troublesome as he saw the struggle of throne between his two sons – Nasir-ud-din and Ala-ud-din. Nasir-ud-din emerged victorious and ascended the throne in 1500. • Mohammad Shah II was the last ruler of this dynasty. He surrendered to Bahadur Shah, the Sultan of Gujarat in 1531. -

The Relations of the Mughal Empire with the Ahmadnagar Kingdom (1526-1636)
THE RELATIONS OF THE MUGHAL EMPIRE WITH THE AHMADNAGAR KINGDOM (1526-1636) Thesis Submited foe tke *Degcee of Doctor (X Philosophy IN fflSTQRY BY MOHO. SIRAJ ANWAR SUPERVISOR Professor Iqtidar Alam Khan CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1994 / f ; : ^ iO.i/1 - 1 3;rf;p ifl«(^ ABSTRACT During the first quarter of the sixteenth century the relations between the power ruling over North India, namely, the Lodi Empire and the Deccan kingdoms were generally at a very low key. But it is, of course, true that the Deccani kingdoms were not indifferent to the situation in the North. The sending of congratulatory letters to Babur by trte rulers of Ahmadnagar, Bijapur and Berar, on his success in 1526, goes to testify their eagerness to win favour with any ruler who appeared to gaining an upper hand in North India. Among them Ahmadnagar seemed to be particularly responsive to the developing political scenario in the North. The short term consideration of the Ahmadnagar Kingdom in cultivating friendly ties with the Mughals from the very beginning of their rule down to the end of Humayun's reign, and also with the Surs during their short lived rule over North India, was possibly that their military pressure on Malwa and Gujarat would render the latter two states less belligerent towards Ahmadnagar. But at the same time it should not be overlooked that from 1535 onwards Humayun appeared to be interested in extending his influence, if not actual rule, over Khandesh and Ahmadnagar which is borne out by his correspondence with Burhan Nizam Shah I as well as his making, while returning to Mandu from Ahmadabad, a detour across Khandesh. -

Soyabean - Malwa Region of Madhya Pradesh
Soyabean - Malwa Region of Madhya Pradesh What is the issue? \n\n \n Malwa region is said to be India’s US Midwest, only because of soyabean. \n The significance of this crop in Malwa region and Madhya Pradesh, calls for addressing the current challenges to its production. \n \n\n How did Soyabean take root in India? \n\n \n Soyabean in India has an American connection. The leguminous oilseed was hardly grown here till the mid-sixties. \n The first yellow-seeded soyabean varieties were introduced by University of Illinois scientists. \n They conducted field trials at the Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya (JNKVV) in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. \n Many of these varieties - Bragg, Improved Pelican, Clark 63, Lee and Hardee - were released for direct cultivation. \n By 1975-76, the all-India area under soyabean had touched around 90,000 hectares. \n But a revolution in soyabean production took place only after that and in Malwa. \n Here, soyabean’s relevance, even vis-à-vis shaping electoral outcomes, is comparable to that of sugarcane in western UP. \n \n\n How has Malwa plateau traditionally been? \n\n \n Malwa plateau region of western MP covers the districts of Dewas, Indore, Dhar, Ujjain, Jhabua, Ratlam, Mandasur, Neemuch, Shajapur and Rajgarh. \n Traditionally, the region grew only a single un-irrigated crop of wheat or chana (chickpea) during the rabi winter season. \n Farmers mostly kept their lands fallow during the kharif monsoon season. \n The reason was the monsoon’s unpredictability, as even if the rains arrived on time, it could be followed by long dry spells. -
1 the Political Economy of Opium Smuggling in Early Nineteenth Century India: Leakage Or Resistance? Claude Markovits Introduct
THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF OPIUM SMUGGLING IN EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY INDIA: LEAKAGE OR RESISTANCE? CLAUDE MARKOVITS INTRODUCTION 1. The link between narcotics, imperialism and capitalism has long attracted the attention of scholars. a. Recently, Carl Trocki has reiterated the classical Marxist position, dating back to Karl Marx himself, on the incestuous relationship between drugs and empire, while recognizing that the opium trade also nurtured certain forms of indigenous capitalism in Asia. While he has focused on the global Asian opium scene, including India, China and Southeast Asia, other scholars have given more attention to the Indian context of the trade. b. Amar Farooqi, in a book which is probably the most detailed history of the opium trade as seen from India, has stressed the contribution of the 'illegal' trade in Malwa opium to capital accumulation in Western India between 1800 and 1830. c. John Richards, more than 20 years after his pathbreaking essay on peasant production of opium has returned to the topic with a wide-ranging survey of the contribution of the drug to the finances of British India. d. In this essay, Claude Markovitzproposes to revisit the history of the Malwa opium trade with a view todiscuss both i. its general impact on capital accumulation in early 19thcentury western India and its link with imperial expansion. ii. He focuses more specifically on the case of Sindh, a largely neglected region of the subcontinent, whose transformation into the main smuggling route for the drug after 1819, and according to Markoviz, was one of the factors that led to its integration into the British Indian Empire. -

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare National Family Health Survey - 4 2015 -16 District Fact Sheet Junagadh Gujarat International Institute for Population Sciences (Deemed University) Mumbai 1 Introduction The National Family Health Survey 2015-16 (NFHS-4), the fourth in the NFHS series, provides information on population, health and nutrition for India and each State / Union territory. NFHS-4, for the first time, provides district-level estimates for many important indicators. The contents of previous rounds of NFHS are generally retained and additional components are added from one round to another. In this round, information on malaria prevention, migration in the context of HIV, abortion, violence during pregnancy etc. have been added. The scope of clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical testing (CAB) or Biomarker component has been expanded to include measurement of blood pressure and blood glucose levels. NFHS-4 sample has been designed to provide district and higher level estimates of various indicators covered in the survey. However, estimates of indicators of sexual behaviour, husband’s background and woman’s work, HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes and behaviour, and, domestic violence will be available at State and national level only. As in the earlier rounds, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India designated International Institute for Population Sciences, Mumbai as the nodal agency to conduct NFHS-4. The main objective of each successive round of the NFHS has been to provide essential data on health and family welfare and emerging issues in this area. NFHS-4 data will be useful in setting benchmarks and examining the progress in health sector the country has made over time.
