Poona has been a centre of education for \ cry long s.: d, lacilities have eren in- creased of late, sxudeuts coming here fro mall parts of India. Poona may be divided into three distinct parts, the old part is the City, full of records of Inditvs past, the Cantonment which has grown up since the military occupation ard Poona became in variovts ways the Head Quarters of the Military, and the SttbUrljan Municipality, which embraces the outside poitions of Poona, wbere increased housing accommodatioi\ is now being stipplied. The Suburban Miiuioipaiity has become more poptilotis o^'ing 'o fi-esh Mansions on the Biiiid Garden Road, and to the rapid development of the Estate on the Koregaon Road where a series of handsome biingalows have Bpriing iip. Government have also btiilt and are building a series of Bungalows, mostly intended for gazetted officers at Yeravda. At Bambiu'da where a Station of the G. I. P. R. for Passengers will shortly be open, a number of moderate-sized bungalows are being provided, largely tor subordinate ofiicials and commercial men. Poona or Punyapur, the Cleanser, owing to its being near the sacred jttnotion of the Mutha and Mula rivers, was once a small ancient Hindu settlement, witlj religious associations. The early history of Poona is cneck- ered by pillage and famine and War, in which the Mahoi Un Kingdom of Bijapivr played a part. Shahaji, the father of the great 'vaji, was con- firmed m the possession of Poona by a King of Bijapur and oceeded to make the surroundings habitable through his Governor of Poona, Dadaji Koj . idev. the tutor of Shivaji.

BY SURENDRANATH SEN, M.A., Premchaxd Roychand Student, Lectcrer in MarItha History, Calcutta University, Ordinary Fellow, Indian Women's University, Poona. Formerly Professor of History and English Literature, Robertson College, Jubbulpore. Published by thz UNIVERSITY OF CALCUTTA 1920 PRINTED BY ATCLCHANDKA BHATTACHABYYA, AT THE CALCUTTA UNIVEB8ITY PEE 88, SENATE HOUSE, CALCUTTA " WW**, #rf?fW rT, SIWiMfT, ^R^fa srre ^rtfsre wwf* Ti^vtm PREFACE The present volume is the first of a series intended for those students of Maratha history who do not know Marathi. Original materials, both published and unpublished, have been accumulating for the last sixtv years and their volume often frightens the average student. Sir Asutosh Mookerjee, therefore, suggested that a selection in a handy form should be made where all the useful documents should be in- cluded. I must confess that no historical document has found a place in the present volume, but I felt that the chronicles or bakhars could not be excluded from the present series and I began with Sabhasad bakhar leaving the documents for a subsequent volume. This is by no means the first English rendering of Sabhasad. Jagannath Lakshman Mankar translated Sabhasad more than thirty years ago from a single manuscript. The late Dr. Vincent A. Smith over- estimated the value of Mankar's work mainly because he did not know its exact nature. A glance at the catalogue of Marathi manuscripts in the British Museum might have convinced him that the original Marathi Chronicle from which Mankar translated has not been lost.

The Maratha scholars and historians had worked hard to construct the history of the land and people of Maharashtra. Among such scholars people like Kashinath Sane, Rajwade, Khare and Parasnis were well known luminaries in this field of history writing of Maratha. Kashinath Sane published a mass of original material like Bakhars, Sanads, letters and other state papers in his journal Kavyetihas Samgraha for more eleven years during the nineteenth century.

  • Grand Battery Battles in India Part One the Second Anglo-Maratha War
    Grand Battery Battles in India Part One The Second Anglo-Maratha War The war started as a result of faction fighting in the Maratha Confederacy. Officially, Baji Rao II was the head of the Marathas, but he was under challenge from Doulut Rao Sindhia (Gwalior) and Jaswant Rao Holkar (Indore). Other leaders also fancied their chances including Gaekwar and Ragogee Bhonsla. A civil war broke out which led to the defeat of Baji Rao II’s forces at the Battle of Poona on October 25 1802. He fled into exile under the protection of the British, subsequently signing the Treaty of Bassein in which he ceded territory to the British and agreed to have no external dealings with other powers (notably the French). Wellesley was then determined to support Baji Rao II’s claim to the throne and re-installed him at Poona on May 13 1803. Negotiations opened with the leading contenders for the throne, but with no breakthrough in sight, Wellesley moved against the combined forces of Sindhia and the Raja of Berar. The two Maratha armies were a considerable force to be reckoned with. The Raja of Berar could muster around 10,500 regular infantry and upwards of 40,000 other troops. The Scindia army was around 35,000 strong and commanded by the Hanoverian Pohlmann. Wellesley mustered two armies of his own. In the north was a force under General Lake and in the south a combined force under Wellesley himself. His army consisted of some 11,000 troops, supported by the Hyderabad Contingent of 9,400 and around 5,000 light horse (Mysore and Maratha allies).

  • Variability in Summer Monsoon Rainfall Over Pune, a Leeward Side
    Vayu Mandal (41) 2015 Variability in Summer Monsoon J.V. Revadekar, Hamza Varikoden and V.V. Sapre Rainfall over Pune, a Leeward Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune Side Station of Western Ghats Email: [email protected] in India ABSTRACT The summer monsoon (June through September) accounts for 80% of the annual rainfall over India. It exhibits large variability in different space and time scales. Present study attempts analysis on variability in summer monsoon rainfall over Pune a lee side station of Western Ghats of India using data for the period 1901-2012. Rainfall anomalies over Pune examined during El Nino and La Nina years and their intensities show below (above) normal rainfall during El Nino (La Nina) years. Further magnitude of the rainfall anomalies decreases from strong to weak intensities of Nino events. Strong positive relation is found between rainfall and zonal and meridional components of wind at 850hPa over southern part of India and the Arabian Sea, whereas negative relationship is found over northwest India (correlation coefficient is significant at 5% level). It indicates that cyclonic circulation over the north Arabian Sea favours rainfall activities over Pune. During flood years, similar features are observed with strong cyclonic circulation at 850 hPa over the north Arabian Sea. Droughts are associated with weakening of westerlies over Pune. Key Words: Summer Monsoon, El Nino, La Nina. 1. Introduction from the west coast, rainfall increases along the Indian summer monsoon (JJAS), which slopes of the Western Ghats and rapidly decreases dominates over most parts of the country is of on the eastern leeward side.

An ISO 9001 : 2015 Certified Company A few words… The year was 2000, when Rays Electronics ventured into Tunnel Management Systems, focusing purely on operation and maintenance. Having gained in experience and earned the confidence of our clients, we went one step ahead in integrating the system itself. In the process, we also ended up upgrading some products within the system, eventually leading to the manufacturing of various products that go into the design and control of Tunnel Management Systems. Over the years, we have now grown into a dedicated team, capable and competent of comprehensively managing projects on EPC basis. Our dedication from concept to completion of a project, a keen eye for innovation and adherence to project schedules, have seen many a client repose their trust in Rays Electronics. Clients such as Bajaj Electricals, KMC Constructions, Larsen & Toubro, Modern Roadways, Railways: Central + Konkan + Northern, Siemens and more. Significantly, if you take a close look at our latest projects, what would you find? Here is the answer that gives us immense satisfaction: Apart from the few we import, most of the products we integrate – to manage the Lighting, Ventilation, Sub-station, Power Back-up, Security and monitoring of the Tunnel Management Systems – are designed and developed by Rays Electronics in accordance with prescribed codes and standards.
