  • Colonial Indian Architecture:A Historical Overview
    Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology Issn No : 1006-7930 Colonial Indian Architecture:A Historical Overview Debobrat Doley Research Scholar, Dept of History Dibrugarh University Abstract: The British era is a part of the subcontinent’s long history and their influence is and will be seen on many societal, cultural and structural aspects. India as a nation has always been warmly and enthusiastically acceptable of other cultures and ideas and this is also another reason why many changes and features during the colonial rule have not been discarded or shunned away on the pretense of false pride or nationalism. As with the Mughals, under European colonial rule, architecture became an emblem of power, designed to endorse the occupying power. Numerous European countries invaded India and created architectural styles reflective of their ancestral and adopted homes. The European colonizers created architecture that symbolized their mission of conquest, dedicated to the state or religion. The British, French, Dutch and the Portuguese were the main European powers that colonized parts of India.So the paper therefore aims to highlight the growth and development Colonial Indian Architecture with historical perspective. Keywords: Architecture, British, Colony, European, Modernism, India etc. INTRODUCTION: India has a long history of being ruled by different empires, however, the British rule stands out for more than one reason. The British governed over the subcontinent for more than three hundred years. Their rule eventually ended with the Indian Independence in 1947, but the impact that the British Raj left over the country is in many ways still hard to shake off.

  • Shiva's Waterfront Temples
    Shiva’s Waterfront Temples: Reimagining the Sacred Architecture of India’s Deccan Region Subhashini Kaligotla Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Subhashini Kaligotla All rights reserved ABSTRACT Shiva’s Waterfront Temples: Reimagining the Sacred Architecture of India’s Deccan Region Subhashini Kaligotla This dissertation examines Deccan India’s earliest surviving stone constructions, which were founded during the 6th through the 8th centuries and are known for their unparalleled formal eclecticism. Whereas past scholarship explains their heterogeneous formal character as an organic outcome of the Deccan’s “borderland” location between north India and south India, my study challenges the very conceptualization of the Deccan temple within a binary taxonomy that recognizes only northern and southern temple types. Rejecting the passivity implied by the borderland metaphor, I emphasize the role of human agents—particularly architects and makers—in establishing a dialectic between the north Indian and the south Indian architectural systems in the Deccan’s built worlds and built spaces. Secondly, by adopting the Deccan temple cluster as an analytical category in its own right, the present work contributes to the still developing field of landscape studies of the premodern Deccan. I read traditional art-historical evidence—the built environment, sculpture, and stone and copperplate inscriptions—alongside discursive treatments of landscape cultures and phenomenological and experiential perspectives. As a result, I am able to present hitherto unexamined aspects of the cluster’s spatial arrangement: the interrelationships between structures and the ways those relationships influence ritual and processional movements, as well as the symbolic, locative, and organizing role played by water bodies.

  • Incredible India’ Campaign
    Preface This article investigates the ‘Incredible India’ campaign. From the author’s initial encounter with this particular campaign an indescribable attraction was experienced. Thus, the performer of this study developed firm faith in the process of executing this research. It all commenced with a university course named ‘Strategic Mass Communication’ taught by Dr. Etienne Augé at the Erasmus University which is located in Rotterdam. In addition to Dr. Augé thought provoking teachings, the subject matters that were included in the course curriculum were valued by the author of this master’s thesis as decisive in establishing this academic article. During one of the sessions of this course, the researcher of this study read about the concept of ‘nation branding’. The executer of this research study was completely unfamiliar to the concept, yet a direct interest was aroused. As a consequence of this raise in interest, the author of this master’s thesis commenced with an exploration of the concept. The end result was complete amazement. Never before was the researcher of this study consciously aware of the fact that nations can be branded. Just imagine. In contemporary society, almost everyone associates him or herself with the brand of a particular (commercial or non-commercial) organization. The brand of a country, however, is hardly associated with, by the majority of people globally. Perhaps, that might also not be the purpose of a country’s brand. Yet, many people around the world communicate beliefs and opinions, in other words the reputation, of a country they visited. The result of this form of communication is the creation of a particular image about a particular country.
