  • Working Classes in Mughal India (1556-1605 A.D.)
    Working Classes in Mughal India (1556-1605 A.D.) Rukhsana Iftikhar* Working Classes in Mughal India (1556-1605 A.D.) Abstract: India has always been considered a feudal society based on "Asiatic Model" as observed by Karl Marx in his letters of Tribune. So, the existence of feudal classes made the whole infrastructure of Indian economy. The other professional groups who generated their income on the basis of their skills are hardly mentioned in broader framework of Mughal Indian economy, although contemporary sources indicate the presence of agricultural and non-agricultural classes in Mughal India. Even the merchant classes have their link with the world commerce. In the theory of kingship these skilled-workers attached with royal palaces, imperial household, petty officials of the state, construction of the buildings, crafts, transportation and people belonging to other professions. This paper analyses the existence of various groups of skill - workers and their wages in the time of Mughal king Akbar (1556-1605). The assumption of stagnant social structure in India controlled by "Asiatic Despotism" tends to minimize through this study 1. It also indicates that consolidation of Akbar period provided opportunities for working classes to get a sustainable share or wages in his period. The production relations of Akbar's India although not turned into capitalist relations but it created possibilities to take an optimistic view of social change. Introduction: Society was not divided into classes, no concept of property, no state, no kingship, and no internal wars only tribal system was intact through petty tribal wars in India. As mode/Instruments of production grew, the concept of private property and classes emerged in the society.

  • MUGHALS and KASHMIR with Its ECONOMY (1586-1752 AD) Dr.Manzoor Ahmad
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 22, Issue 2, Ver. V (Feb. 2017) PP 59-68 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org MUGHALS and KASHMIR with its ECONOMY (1586-1752 AD) Dr.Manzoor Ahmad Abstract :- Kashmir constituted a significant unit of the mighty Mughal Empire. The Valley stood in the neighborhood of Kabul province which touched the borders of Central Asia. Multan and Lahore exist to its south and remained in connection with Punjab by various routes. The Valley experienced the rule of great rulers of the dynasty like Akbar, Jahangir, Shah-i-jahan and Aurangzeb. The occupation of the land by the Mughals ended its age long internal strife, provided uniform system of administration, abolished toll tax, improved and extended its routes, which together boosted the trade and commerce of the territory. Further the restoration of peace and noval changes introduced in the agrarian set up rehabilitated the shattered economy of the state. Though it immuned the rulers of the territory to spent their enormous wealth on the construction of monuments, gardens, development of health resorts and inns which in homogenous nature turned the land in the words of Mughal Emperor Jahangir a “Paradise on earth”, yet in the concluding epoch under its weak rulers e.g. Mohammad Shah (1719-1748) the Valley passed through agony especially the peasantry suffered due to the callous attitude of the revenue functionaries and the prevalent horrible taxation system.

    www.TLHjournal.com Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 An International Refereed/Peer-reviewed English e-Journal Impact Factor: 4.727 (SJIF) Economical Developments in Kashmir during Mughal rule (1586to 1752) Firdous Ahmad Tali Phd scholar in Dept. of History SSS University Of Technology And Medical Science Sehore, Bhopal Abstract Kashmir is an ancient land with the highest degree of civilization achieved by its people, its natural beauty and the sources made its neighbours cast covetous eyes to occupy it. People of this region took pride in their independence and self-realization but the weakness, instability led to its annexation by the Mughals in 1856. Though For some time it remained a part of the province of Kabul, Kashmir s assured under Jahangir the status of full-fledged province (subah) like other Mughal Indian province, The Kashmir lost their independence but their cultural, industrial, artistic and agricultural growth was not impeded but got a further fillip by the great change effected by its becoming a part of Mughal empire. The Mughal conquest of Kashmir in 1856A.D marked a new epoch the history of the land, breaking the long state of isolation, which introduced significant changes in the administrative machinery, ruling class, social set up, economic conditions, cultural intuitions. The impact of Mughal rule and the closer contacts of the people of the valley with rest of the country deeply affected the social life of Kashmir resulted in greater participation of the people of Kashmir in the corporate life of the empire. Keywords: Kharif (autumn crops), Rabi (spring crops), Kashta( ploughed),Uftada (unploughed), Karkhana INTRODUCTIION The Mughal rulers of India had covetous eye on Kashmir since the founder of the dynasty Baber, who tried to annex Kashmir but failed in his mission.

In the discussion about standards, to no country is more attention drawn than to India ; and rightly, since the fate of silver is to be decided, above all, in India. But, on this point, there exists in the Indian question considerable confusion, as in so many parts of the currency question. Many try to veil their lack of clearness under dogmatism ; and talk about axioms and elementary propositions of economics, which need no proof. I have tried to base my conclusions principally upon the official documents which have been published at the initiative of both the English and Indian authorities, without a priori conceptions and in the interest of no economic or political party whatever,— for which one is unfortunately always obliged to give assurance in the discussion of the currency. It is not consonant with the spirit of a scientific work to intro- duce into the field of investigation matters which cannot yet be grasped in their entirety, and upon which those closest at hand cannot yet form any judgment.

  • A Synchronization of Measurement and Instrumentation Between Vedic and Modern Period
    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol. 29, No. 7, (2020), pp. 9960-9972 A Synchronization of Measurement and Instrumentation between Vedic and Modern Period 1 2 3 Prakash Chandra Mishra , Shakti Prasad Senapati , Dr. Shrish Kumar Tiwari 1 Assistant in Department of Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, MJP, Rohilkhand University, Bareilly, U.P-243006, INDIA, Email:[email protected] 2Assistant Professor in Department of EEE, Darbhanga College of Engineering, Darbhanga, Bihar-846005, INDIA 3Lecture in Department of Commerce Allahabad Degree College, Allahabad, U.P-211005, INDIA Abstract: In this paper, an intense and precise approach has been adopted by the authors to enlighten ancient measurement systems of weight, time, distance, spectrum of light, colour, speed of light, and some other parameters that have an important and valuable role in our day to day behaviour. Further a small effort has been made to link the current measurement systems with the primitive (of Vedic era) Indian measurement systems. This paper explains the concept of Vedic period measurement technology, and it's simple and suitable measuring instruments which was very adorable in India and as well as globally. These measurement systems were delightfully appreciated due to its simplicity, accuracy, and universality in nature. Along with this, some discussions in the modern CGS and MKS systems have also been sprinkled out for better understanding in both of the Vedic and modern measurement techniques. The authors also want to state the technologies in the Vedic period which was so advanced in the field of measurements such as the speed of sunlight was calculated, sunlight is the combination of seven colours was mentioned, number of planets which represent a day already told and many more.

  • Remittances and Moral Economies of Bangladeshi New York Immigrants
    Remittances and Moral Economies of Bangladeshi New York Immigrants in Light of the Economic Crisis Natacha Stevanovic Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Natacha Stevanovic All rights reserved ABSTRACT Remittances and The Moral Economies of Bangladeshi New York Immigrants in Light of the Economic Crisis Natacha Stevanovic Remittance flows to Bangladesh during the 2008 global financial crisis presented an exceptional case of resilience while most remittance recipient countries were experiencing a drastic decline, as was predicted by leading world economists (World Bank, Ratha 2009). The question I seek to resolve in this dissertation is: Why did remittance practices from Bangladeshi immigrants keep on flowing when the majority of remittance flows to many other developing countries declined following the 2008 economic recession? One reason is the strong presence of what I call a “moral economy of giving and sharing” that is guided by cultural or religious repertoires on family obligations, kinship, gender, hierarchy, and charity. Drawing on empirical narratives and biographies that combine open-ended interviews with 65 Bangladeshi male immigrants in New York (the majority being Muslim) as well as ethnographic interviews of 7 families in Dhaka, Bangladesh, I use the concept of moral economies to analyze the motivations behind remitting under variable conditions. My results suggest that Bangladeshi remitters
