It is entitled: A Case for Change in Indian Historic Preservation Planning: Re-Evaluating Attitudes toward the Past Student's name: Kingkini Roy This work and its defense approved by: Committee chair: Patrick Snadon, PhD Committee member: Aarati Kanekar, PhD 1280 Last Printed:2/15/2011 Document Of Defense Form A Case for Change in Indian Historic Preservation Planning: Re-Evaluating Attitudes toward the Past A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Architecture In the School of Architecture and Interior Design of the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning March 2011 by Kingkini Roy Bachelor of Architecture, School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi, 2006 Committee Chair: Patrick Snadon, Ph. D. Abstract This thesis critically surveys heritage management in present day India and the legislative apparatus that underpins it. Keeping within the Indian context, the research seeks to verify the suitability of the strategies that are upheld by the institutional and legislative setup of architectural conservation practices for present day India. This appraisal would be based on the premise that preservation, as it is currently understood in India, is a product of modernity and in India’s case the direct import of the Western construct of these disciplines during the colonial period. This is made evident from the history and origins of the interest in Indian antiquity as well as the development of the formalized discipline of archaeology and antiquity management. Despite the fact that India has been independent from colonial British rule for sixty one years, the legislation that continue to underpin the heritage management policies of India have remained unrevised for fifty of those years with the exception of a few minor amendments. The current active piece of legislation is in fact a slight variation on the one laid down by the British more than a century ago. Consequently, India’s prevalent heritage management policies are not only outdated, but also contextually unsuitable since it originates from a non-indigenous and particularly colonial mode of thinking. The research primarily focuses on the practices of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the formal institution concerned with upholding the legislation concerning heritage. Using case studies the contextual suitability of the prevalent preservation policies have been analyzed through the successes and failures of the ASI in the cases under consideration. The argument is extended to the conceptual notions of time and the past as signified by the current preservation ii laws and studying them in contrast with alternative approaches to those notions. It is concluded that present day heritage management practices in India have reinterpreted the past, removing it from active participation in the present and made it into the revered but uncomfortable ‘other’, always to be negotiated as opposed to being incorporated or appropriated. In response to these findings, an alternative for this current structure of heritage management in India has been proposed as part of the conclusion. To supplement this proposal, recommendations have been made for administrative and legislative modifications that would take place through reorganization of the existing institutional infrastructure. Time lapse has been built into the proposal to incorporate the short term and long term goals. The goal for this thesis is that that it could be useful as a starting point for a more in-depth proposal that can be implemented and is not confined to being an academic exploration alone. iii iv Acknowledgements I would like to thank my committee chair, Dr. Patrick Snadon for his unfailing guidance and support that made this thesis possible. It has been an honor working with him. I would also like to thank my committee member Dr. Aarati Kanekar for her encouragement and understanding without which it would not be possible to complete this thesis. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere gratitude to Mr. Joze Kozan, who helped germinate the idea for the topic of this thesis and whose direction and guidance I could always count upon. I also thank Dr. David Saile who served as a member of my committee until his retirement and whose valuable observations helped refine this thesis. They are as much a part of my thesis committee as those officially listed and I would not be able to produce this document without them. I am indebted to my family and friends who have been a constant support, especially my parents, Madhusri Roy and Kirity Roy, who along with providing critical dialogue, helped me collect valuable information used in this thesis and also photographed locations without which several sections of this thesis would not have been possible. v Table of Contents List of Illustrations vii 01.

    UP State Biodiversity Board BBIIOODDIIVV NNeewwss Volume : 6 n Issue : 22 n Jan - Mar 2015 A Quarterly e‐Newsletter Editorial Esteemed Readers, Environmentalists, biologists and others concerned about the health of the planet and its inhabitants recognize the key role wetlands play in life on Earth. Besides containing a disproportionately high number of plant and animal species compared to other land forms, wetlands serve a variety of ecological services including feeding downstream waters, trapping floodwaters, recharging groundwater supplies, removing pollution and providing fish and wildlife habitat. Wetlands are critical for human development and wellbeing, especially in India where a large number of people are dependent on them for drinking water, food and livelihood. Despite their immense importance, wetlands are one of the most degraded ecosystems globally. Research suggests that over-exploitation of fish resources, discharge of industrial effluents, fertilizers and pesticides and uncontrolled siltation Painted storks and weed infestation, among other reasons, have wiped out or severely damaged over Photo Credit : (Mycteria leucocephala) Neeraj Mishra 1/3rd of India's wetlands. Wetlands are on the “front-line” as development pressures increase everywhere. When they are viewed as unproductive or marginal lands, wetlands are targeted for drainage and conversion. The rate of loss and deterioration of wetlands is accelerating in all regions of the world. The pressure on wetlands is likely to intensify in the coming decades due to increased global demand for land and water, as well as climate change. The Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Rules, 2010 is a positive step towards conservation of wetlands in India. Under the Rules, wetlands have been classified for better management and easier identification.

Kautilya’s Arthashastra (324-296 BC) was a treatise on politics, statecraft and economics but also described the functioning of Indian society in detail. Megasthenes was the Greek ambassador to the court of Chandragupta Maurya from 324 BC to 300 BC. He also wrote a book on the structure and customs of Indian society. Al Biruni’s accounts of India are famous. He was a 1 Persian scholar who visited India and wrote a book about it in 1030 AD. Al Biruni wrote of Indian social and cultural life, with sections on religion, sciences, customs and manners of the Hindus.
