The background of this Project, undertaken at the request of the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, as well as its scope, sources, methodology and format have been outlined in the General Editorís Note at the beginning of Part I of the Volume 1. Volume 2 brings up the data available on a vast region now known as Uttar Pradesh, Uttrakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Jammu & Kashmir between 1857 and 1947 ñ the whole of the period of the Indian freedom struggle. Our Research Team has tried very hard to gather as many names as possible of those who died while participating in such movements, organizations and incidents as the Uprising of 1857, the tribal resistances, the Khilafat and Non-Cooperation movements, the Civil Disobedience movement, the Revolutionary movement, the Peasantsí and the Workersí movement, the Praja Mandal movement (for responsible government in the Princely States), the Individual Satyagraha, the ìQuit Indiaî movement, and the movements for the Indian Legion, the Indian Independence League and the Indian National Army. In its search for the hitherto unknown martyrs, our Research Team has come across a number of significant incidents like the Neemuchana Tragedy in Alwar, Bijolia Kisan Satyagraha in earstwhile Udaipur (Mewar) State, Charanpaduka Kisan Agitation in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh, and other similar Kisan struggles against the high rates of land taxes and socially exploitative forced labour and other cesses in these regions. The entries include, where available, information regarding the date, year, place of birth, place of residence and occupation of the martyrs. For writing about them and to authenticate their martyrdom from the primary sources ( including archival documents, official and non-official), the Research Team (over and above its regular visits to the National Archives of India and Nehru Memorial Library and Museum, New Delhi) has undertaken various trips to different State Archives, such as the Uttar Pradesh State Archives, Lucknow and Allahabad; the Madhya Pradesh State Archives and the branch of the National Archives of India, Bhopal; the Rajasthan State Archives, Bikaner; and the Jammu and Kashmir State Archives, Jammu and Srinagar. At the same time, I also wish to express my thanks to vi Dictionary of Martyrs: India’s Freedom Struggle (1857-1947) Vol. 2, Part I(A-K) the staffs of these archives and libraries for offering their kind cooperation to our Research Team. While consulting archival sources in the Regional Archives at Allahabad, the Research Team came across thousands of files relating to the participants and proceedings of the 1857 Uprising that have not been explored or consulted on a larger scale, and are unfortunately getting moth-eaten. Also, it found from the Mutiny Papers on 1857 Uprising, available at the National Archives of India branch, Bhopal, that the people of the State actively joined the Uprising, contrary to the general belief, and despite their rulerís loyalty to the British. The team has also been able to refer to various valuable sources in the Madhya Pradesh State Archives (Bhopal), particularly contemporary newspapers, such as Akhbar-i Gwalior (specifically to the Uprising of 1857) and The Jayaji Pratap which have been rather inadequately used by historians. In the Rajasthan State Archives, Bikaner, apart from such scarcely consulted newspapers (Tarun Rajasthan, Naveen Rajasthan, Princely India, Sainik, Ganesh, etc.), our researchers also have managed to consult the Neemuchana police firing files containing a little over a hundred names of martyrs. (The secondary writings covering this incident, put the number at1500). Further, in the Jammu and Kashmir Archives our researchers have succeeded in consulting two important official reports, namely, Glancy Commission Report and MM Committee Report, apart from the Home Department files preserved there. It has been the endeavour of our Research Team to make the Dictionary as inclusive as possible and to cover telescopically the very widespread participation of almost all the segments of Indian society. Consequently, our search has perhaps managed to bring into focus the obscured, the undiscovered and the forgotten (especially from the lower stratas of societies) into the annals of Indiaís Freedom struggle. Of course, a work of this nature can never claim to be absolutely complete or final. We may find omissions which need to be taken note of, and a supplementary volume towards that end is part of the Project plan. Professor Amit Kumar Gupta and his team of researchers ñ Dr. Rajesh Kumar, Mr. Ashfaque Ali, Dr. Md. Naushad Ali, Dr. Khawairakpam Premjit Singh and Dr. Md. Shakeeb Athar ñ have put in enormous labours and done an admirable job in researching and preparing Part I and Part II of Volume 2 for the Press. My special thanks to them as also to Mr. Ashok Kumar and Mr. Jaipal Bhoj who prepared the digital material for the Press. I should like to thank Dr. Ishrat Alam, Member Secretary and Executive Editor, and Dr. S.M. Mishra, Coordinator for efficiently taking care of all the administrative aspects for facilitating the work of the Project. I am also indebted to Professor V.K. Vashistha for his undertaking as an Expert the onerous task of going through a lengthy typescript so meticulously, suggesting some improvements in it and also adding a few more names. I should also like to thank my historian colleagues who agreed to sit on the Advisory Committee (Professors Sabyasachi Bhattacharya, Mushirul Hasan, Arjun Dev, N. Rajendran, Subhas R. Chakraborty, Indu Banga, T.R. Ghoble, V. Raghottam, V. Ramakrishna, Swaraj Basu). Finally, thanks are due to the Secretary, Smt. Sangita Gairola, and the Joint Secretaries, Shri Sanjiv Mittal and Shri Promod Jain, as well as the Director, Shri Kanwar Sameer Lather in the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, for their consistently supportive role in this project.

  • In the Name of Krishna: the Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town
    In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.

    Atomic Energy Education Society Study material Class-VIII Subject- History Lesson 05-When People Rebel: 1857 and After Module- 2/2 Important points The Rebellion Spreads : The British had initially taken the revolt at Meerut quite lightly. But the decision by Bahadur Shah Zafar to support the rebellion had dramatically changed the entire situation. People were emboldened by an alternative possibility. The British were routed from Delhi, and for almost a week there was no uprising. The rebellion in Delhi took almost a week to spread as news over whole of the India. Many regiments mutinied one after another at various places such as Delhi, Kanpur and Lucknow. People of the towns and the villages also rose up in rebellion and rallied around local leaders. Zamindars and chiefs were prepared to establish their authority and fight the British. Nanasaheb Peshwa gathered armed forces and expelled the British garrison in Kanpur. He proclaimed himself the Peshwa. He declared that he was a governor under Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar. Birjis Qadr, the son of Nawab Wajid Ali shah, was proclaimed the new Nawab. He too acknowledged suzerainty of Bahadur Shah Zafar. Begum Hazrat Mahal took an active part in organizing the uprising against the British. In Jhansi, Rani Lakshmibai joined the rebel Sepoys and fought the British along with Tantia Tope. The General of Nana Saheb. Ahmadullah Shah a maulvi from Faizabad prophesied that the rule of the British would come to an end he caught the imagination of the people and raised a huge force of supporters.

  • FULL SECTOR ASSESSMENT: WATER and OTHER URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE and SERVICES A. India Urban Scenario 1. About 377 Million (31%)1 Of
    Madhya Pradesh Urban Sector Investment Program (RRP IND 42486) FULL SECTOR ASSESSMENT: WATER AND OTHER URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES A. India Urban Scenario 1. About 377 million (31%)1 of India’s population lives in 7,935 urban areas and contributes 63% of gross domestic product (GDP). About 70% of the urban population resides in 4682 rapidly growing urban agglomerations and cities with a population of over 100,000, including 53 cities with a population of more than a million. Growth in the remaining small towns was nominal. The contribution to GDP from the urban areas is expected to increase to about 75% as the proportion of urban population reaches 40% of the total population by 2030. 2. Urban water supply in India is characterized by intermittent water supply (often for a couple of hours in a week) and low coverage, high nonrevenue water, and poor cost recovery. No city in India can claim for universal coverage with continuous pressurized water supply. The service levels are even lower in small towns, which have been upgraded from village character to a town. These small towns mostly depend on local groundwater sources with no treatment and no planned hydraulic networks. The small town local bodies have been struggling with limited financial resources further aggravated by a lack of competent and skilled human resources capable of delivering services expected from a fully functional water utility. 3. The investment in urban infrastructure3 up to the year 2031 was estimated at $53.5 billion for water supply and $40.5 billion for sewerage services at 2009–10 prices.

  • 4. the Freedom Struggle of 1857
    4. The Freedom Struggle of 1857 In 1857, a great struggle took place in India which completely shook the British Government. This struggle did not arise all of a sudden. Earlier as well many such struggles took place in India against the British. The scope of the struggle of 1857 and its background was taken into consideration by V.D.Savarkar in his book ‘The Indian War of Independence 1857’. Later many revolutionaries got inspiration from it to fight against the British. Struggle before 1857 : At every place where the British rule was established in India, the local people had to bear the ill effects of British government. The Indians started feeling that they are exploited in every strata due to the company's rule. This resulted in increase of discontent against their rule. For your information Paika Rebellion : From mediaeval times, there was a system of Paikas existing in Odisha. The standing army of various independent kings were known as ‘Paika’. Rent free lands were granted to them for cultivation by the king. The Paikas earned their livelihood through it. In return, they were supposed to stand by the king’s side in case of eruption of war. In 1803, the English conquered Odisha. They took over the hereditary rent free lands granted to the Paikas. This made the Paikas angry. Similarly, common man’s life had also become miserable because of rise in salt price due to tax imposed on it by the British. This resulted in an armed rebellion of Paikas against the British in 1817. Bakshi Jaganbandhu Bidyadhar led this revolt.

    There was a time when historians were fascinated with dates. There were heated debates about the dates on which rulers were crowned or battles were fought. In the common-sense notion, history was synonymous with dates. You may have heard people say, “I find history boring because it is all about memorising dates.” Is such a conception true? History is certainly about changes that occur over time. It is about finding out how things were in the past and how things have changed. As soon as we compare the past with the present we refer to time, we talk of “before” and “after”. Living in the world we do not always ask historical questions about what we see around us. We take things for granted, as if what we see has always been in the world we inhabit. But most of us have our moments of wonder, when we are curious, and we ask questions that actually are historical. Watching Fig. 1 – Brahmans offering the someone sip a cup of tea at a roadside tea stall you Shastras to Britannia, frontispiece to the first map produced by may wonder – when did people begin to drink tea or James Rennel, 1782 coffee?
