Chapter 5 - Architectural and Urban Patronage
CHAPTER 5 - ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN PATRONAGE In 1779 CE Ahilyābāī Hoḷkar sent a letter to Gopikābāī Peśvā, grandmother of the then Peśvā, Savāī Mādhavrāv and the wife of Nānāsāheb Peśvā. Some years before, Gopikābāī, who was staying at Nāśik, had constructed a kuṅda and ghāṭ on the Godāvarī River known respectively as Rāmkuṅda and Rāmghāṭ. Ahilyābāī wrote to Gopikābāī requesting for permission to repair and rebuild the same in a more artistic manner. Gopikābāī flatly refused any such permission saying that the kuṅda and ghāṭ were meant to preserve her memories which she did not want to be destroyed (Sathe, 2013, p. 143). Ahilyābāī retaliated by not sending the sarees that Gopikābāī had requested from Maheshwar. It was an act of what Bourdieu has termed as ‘symbolic violence’, a strategy employed by those having legitimacy in the social field to maintain their positions from any competition. Clearly, Gopikābāī saw Ahilyābāī’s intervention as a threat to her authority. This apparently simple event shows the acute awareness that patrons had, of the power of architecture in consolidating their social positions. They used architecture consciously to further their social and political aims. What purposes did the construction projects serve beyond the mere function? How were buildings used by the agents to assert authority and consolidate social positions? Can we trace any thematic continuity between the patronage of preceding centuries and the eighteenth century? This chapter attempts to answer such questions by focusing on patronage and matronage in the study area. Patronage and its relationship with architecture has been an important concern for a number of years in Historical studies. -

Taraporevala Sons & Co., Hornby Road, Fort, Bombay. PREFACE It is well known that for a hundred and fifty years after the foundation of the East India Company their representatives in ·India merely confined their activities to trade, and did not con· cern themselves with the game of building an empire in the East. But after the middle of the 18th century, a severe war broke out in Europe between England and France, now known as the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), which soon affected all the colonies and trading centres which the two nations already possessed in various parts of the globe. In the end Britain came out victorious, having scored brilliant successes both in India and America. The British triumph in India was chiefly due to Clive's masterly strategy on the historic battlefields in the Presidencies of Madras and Bengal. It should be remembered in this connection that there was then not one common or supreme authority or control over the three British establishments or Presidencies of Bengal, Madras and Bombay. -

The Portuguese, Dutch, French and the English came to India to promote trade and commerce. The English who established the East-India Co. in 1600, gradually consolidated their hold in different parts of India. They had very capable men like Sir. Thomas Roe, Colonel Close, General Smith, Elphinstone, Grant Duff etc . The English shrewdly exploited the disunity among the Indian rulers. They were very diplomatic in their approach. Due to their far sighted policies, the English were able to expand and consolidate their rule in Maharashtra. 2 The Company’s government had trapped most of the Maratha rulers in Subsidiary Alliances and fought three important wars with Marathas over a period of 43 years (1775 -1818). 1.2 POLITICAL CONDITIONS BEFORE THE BRITISH CONQUEST : The Company’s Directors sent Lord Wellesley as the Governor- General of the Company’s territories in India, in 1798. -

Their names are Marath, Kanhar (Kannada) and Tilang. At present, these races reside in the Dakhan.” - Muhammad Qasim Hindu Shah ‘Ferishta’ in his Gulshan-i- Ibrahimipopularly called Taa’rikh-i-Ferishta. This statement by Ferishta in his sixteenth century work on the History of India clearly establishes the Marathas as the native people of Western Dakkan who rose to power under the genius of two medieval rulers of the Deccan, Mallik Ambar who effectively armed the Marathas and ChhatrapatiShivaji who effectively used this mobilisation to establish a small compact state, the Maharashtra Swarajya in the middle half of the seventeenth century. This kingdom situated firmly in the Deccan plateau and the Konkan region in North-Western Maharashtra grew southwards and became the major opponent to all Indo-Islamic powers ranging from the local Deccan Sultanates and the invading Mughals who engulfed the Sultanates one by one creating a new province of Mughal Deccan. -

Bird-O-Soar 21 September 2018
# 022 Bird-o-soar 21 September 2018 Some new sighting records of flycatchers in Chandgad Taluka: Kolhapur District, Maharashtra The Indian subcontinent is a home ground for 1263 bird species (Praveen, et al., 2016). Of which, Maharashtra State represents 632 bird species (Avibase, 2017). Prasad (2003) reported 450 bird species from Western Maharashtra. Chandgad Taluka of Kolhapur District is a part of Western Ghats, which harbours very rich biodiversity. The Chandgad Taluka (Latitude 150 45’ to 160 3’ North and Longitude 740 1’ to 740 27’ East) is located around 762 m MSL, and witness heavy rainfall (ca. 3000 to 5000 mm/year). The new sighting records of Orange-breasted Green-Pigeon Treron bicinctus (Hiragond and Gavade, 2012) and White-throated Thrush Zoothera citrina cyanotus (Hiragond et al., 2015) were reported from Chandgad Taluka in recent past. In our birding trips to different parts of Chandgad Taluka, we sighted Grey-headed Canary-flycatcher (Culicicapa ceylonensis), White-bellied Blue-flycatcher (Cyornis pallipes), Blue-throated Blue-flycatcher (Cyornis rubeculoides) and Verditer Flycatcher (Eumyias thalassinus). Since, there is no any published literature of sightings of these flycatchers in Chandgad Taluka till date, we have tried to draw an attention of the birders’ community to report their probable records of first sighting from Chandgad Taluka, Kolhapur District. Identification of the observed bird species were confirmed using field guides by Kazmierczak (2000), Grimmett et al., (1998, 2011) and, Rasmussen and Anderton (2012). 1. Grey-headed Canary-flycatcher (Culicicapa ceylonensis) It is a small, greenish yellow bird with grey head and breast, inhabits the broad- leaved forest, coffee plantations and open wooded areas.
