  • NIOS 12Th History Syllabus
    SYLLABUS Total Reading Time : 240 Hours Max. Marks 100 Number of Papers One RATIONALE History is the scientific study of human beings and the evolution of human society in point of time and in different ages. As such it occupies all important place in the school curricu- lum. It is, therefore, taught as a general subject forming a part of Social Science both at the Middle and the Secondary Stages. At the Middle Stage, entire Indian History is covered, while at the Secondary Stage, the land marks in the development of human society are taught. At the Senior Secondary Stage, History becomes an elective subject. Its main thrust is to bridge the gap between the presence of change-oriented technologies of today and the con- tinuity of our cultural tradition so as to ensure that the coming generation will represent the fine synthesis between change and continuity. It is, therefore, deemed essential to take up the entire Indian History from the Ancient to the Modem period for Senior Secondary Stage. The rationale for taking up the teaching of History at this stage is : 1. to promote an understanding of the major stages in the evolution of Indian society through the ages. 2. to develop an understanding of the historical forces responsible for the evolution of Indian society in the Ancient, Medieval and Modem times. 3. to develop an appreciation of (i) the diverse cultural and social systems of the people living indifferent parts of the country. (ii) the richness, variety and composite nature of Indian culture. (iii) the growth of various components of Indian culture, legitimate pride in the achieve- ment of Indian people in.

Magadha played an important role in the development of Jainism and Buddhism, and two of India's greatest empires, the Maurya Empire and Gupta Empire, originated from Magadha. 2 Maurya The Maurya Empire (322–185 BCE) was the first empire to unify India into one state, and was the largest on the Indian subcontinent. The empire was established by Chandragupta Maurya in Magadha (in modern Bihar) when he overthrew the Nanda Dynasty. Chandragupta's son Bindusara succeeded to the throne around 297 BC.

    Theocracy Metin M. Coşgel University of Connecticut Thomas J. Miceli University of Connecticut Working Paper 2013-29 November 2013 365 Fairfield Way, Unit 1063 Storrs, CT 06269-1063 Phone: (860) 486-3022 Fax: (860) 486-4463 http://www.econ.uconn.edu/ This working paper is indexed on RePEc, http://repec.org THEOCRACY by Metin Coşgel* and Thomas J. Miceli** Abstract: Throughout history, religious and political authorities have had a mysterious attraction to each other. Rulers have established state religions and adopted laws with religious origins, sometimes even claiming to have divine powers. We propose a political economy approach to theocracy, centered on the legitimizing relationship between religious and political authorities. Making standard assumptions about the motivations of these authorities, we identify the factors favoring the emergence of theocracy, such as the organization of the religion market, monotheism vs. polytheism, and strength of the ruler. We use two sets of data to test the implications of the model. We first use a unique data set that includes information on over three hundred polities that have been observed throughout history. We also use recently available cross-country data on the relationship between religious and political authorities to examine these issues in current societies. The results provide strong empirical support for our arguments about why in some states religious and political authorities have maintained independence, while in others they have integrated into a single entity.

  • Expectant Urbanism Time, Space and Rhythm in A
    EXPECTANT URBANISM TIME, SPACE AND RHYTHM IN A SMALLER SOUTH INDIAN CITY by Ian M. Cook Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Professor Daniel Monterescu CEU eTD Collection Professor Vlad Naumescu Budapest, Hungary 2015 Statement I hereby state that the thesis contains no material accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. The thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgment is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Budapest, November, 2015 CEU eTD Collection Abstract Even more intense than India's ongoing urbanisation is the expectancy surrounding it. Freed from exploitative colonial rule and failed 'socialist' development, it is loudly proclaimed that India is having an 'urban awakening' that coincides with its 'unbound' and 'shining' 'arrival to the global stage'. This expectancy is keenly felt in Mangaluru (formerly Mangalore) – a city of around half a million people in coastal south Karnataka – a city framed as small, but with metropolitan ambitions. This dissertation analyses how Mangaluru's culture of expectancy structures and destructures everyday urban life. Starting from a movement and experience based understanding of the urban, and drawing on 18 months ethnographic research amongst housing brokers, moving street vendors and auto rickshaw drivers, the dissertation interrogates the interplay between the city's regularities and irregularities through the analytical lens of rhythm. Expectancy not only engenders violent land grabs, slum clearances and the creation of exclusive residential enclaves, but also myriad individual and collective aspirations in, with, and through the city – future wants for which people engage in often hard routinised labour in the present.

  • Iasbaba.Com History Compilation-Prelims
    IASbaba.com History Compilation-Prelims 1. In British India, what is ‘Dastak’ known for? 1. A permit exempting European traders, mostly of the British East India Company, from paying customs or transit duties on their private trade. 2. A permit regulating internal trade, mostly for Indian traders. 3. Fee charged by Indian rulers from European Traders when they trade into their territory 4. Fee charged by British government for the regulation of domestic trade. Solution: 1 Explanation: Dastak, in 18th-century Bengal, a permit exempting European traders, mostly of the British East India Company, from paying customs or transit duties on their private trade. The name came from the Persian word for “pass.” The practice was introduced by Robert Clive, one of the creators of British power in India, when he had Mir Jaʿfar installed as nawab of Bengal in 1757. The attempt of Mir Jaʿfar’s successor, Mir Qāsim, to annul the use of dastaks led to his overthrow in 1763–64 and the exercise of overt control of Bengal by the British. Free dastaks for private trade were finally abolished by Warren Hastings, governor of Bengal (1775). The system put the Indian trader at a grave disadvantage in competing with the European and was an important factor in the impoverishment of Bengal under early British rule.

The revenue system of Marathas was progressive unlike Mughals who were mainly interested in raising revenues from the helpless peasantry. 2.

  • George Thomas and the Frontier of the British Empire 1781-1802
    “If It Were My Way, All This Ought to Be Red”: George Thomas and the Frontier of the British Empire 1781-1802 A Senior Honors Project Presented to the Faculty of the Department of History, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For Bachelor of History with Honors By Devon Hideo Miller 12/02/2017 Committee: Dr. Marcus Daniel, Mentor Dr. Peter H. Hoffenberg Acknowledgements To the teachers, coaches, and professors who have supported me over the course of my education. Everything I have learned in academe is the result of your endeavors and this is a debt I will never be able to repay. To my friends and family who tolerated the library hermit I became over the course of this paper. I do not know where I would be without your support. You were the spark that lit my ambition which led me down this path, and the fuel which carried me through. To my thesis committee members: Dr. Marcus Daniel and Dr. Peter H. Hoffenberg, thank you for your time, effort, patience, and expert advice, especially given the rather unconventional time-schedule of this project. Additionally, I would like to thank you for slogging through the veritable garbled tome that constituted the first draft. This is the result of your generous investment of time and effort. I would especially like to thank my Mentor Dr. Marcus Daniel. Your support has been essential, and I cannot express how grateful I am for your suggestions. i Abstract In 1805, a printer in England published a tale of imperialism, conquest and tragic loss from a memoir from Calcutta, India.
