  • Monetary Aspects of Bahmani Copper Coinage in Light of the Akola Hoard
    Monetary Aspects of Bahmani Copper Coinage in Light of the Akola Hoard Phillip B. Wagoner and Pankaj Tandon Draft: 9/24/16 **Please do not quote or disseminate without permission of the authors** The Bahmanis of the Deccan produced copper coinage from the very outset of the state’s founding in AH 748/1347 CE, but it was clearly secondary to the silver tankas upon which their monetary system was based. By the first several decades of the fifteenth century, however, as John Deyell has shown, the relative production values of silver and copper coinage had reversed, and there was an enormous expansion in copper output, both in terms of the numbers of coins produced and in terms of the range of their denominations (Fig.1).1 This phenomenon has attracted the attention of several scholars, but fundamental questions yet remain about the copper coinage and how it functioned within the Bahmani monetary system. Given the dearth of contemporary written documents shedding light on these matters, it is understandable that many would simply give up on trying to answer these questions. But to do so would be to ignore the physical, material evidence afforded in abundance by the coinage itself, including such aspects as its metrology and denominational structure, and most importantly, the indications of its usage patterns embodied within the composition and geographic distribution of individual coin hoards. Ultimately, we may wish to know why Bahmani copper coinage production should have undergone such a sudden expansion in the 1420s and 1430s, but in order to realize this goal, we must first address the physical nature of the coinage itself and what it can tell us about how it was used.

  • Medieval History of Madhya Pradesh
    www.gradeup.co Medieval History of Madhya Pradesh As we reached towards an era of the medieval period, the Muslims started to explore the land of Madhya Pradesh. Sultan Alauddin Khalji was the first one to reach Malwa and rule it. Then Tughlaqs came to the power and ruled the region for some time. Since 1305, Malwa with the capital Dhar had been under the control of Tughlaqs. In 1401, Dilawar Khan and his son Alp Khan declared themselves independent and marked the beginning of a dynasty. Gauri Dynasty • After Tughlaqs, Dilawar Khan Gauri established an independent sultanate at Malwa. • In 1392, Dilawar Khan asserted his freedom and founded an independent kingdom known as Malwa Sultanate. • He chose Dhar as its capital and later shifted it to Mandu. Mandu was renamed as Shadiabad (the city of joy). • His son Alp Khan changed his name to Hoshang Shah and founded Hoshangabad. • But the Gauris couldn't rule for long. After poisoning the grandson of Hoshang Shah, Mohammad Khalji came to the throne. • The dynasty was replaced by Mehmood Shah I who proclaimed himself king on 16th May 1436. Khalji Dynasty • Mahmud Shah founded the Khalji Dynasty in Malwa. • Mahmud Shah, I was succeeded by his son Ghiyas-ud-din. • The last days of Ghiyas-ud-din were troublesome as he saw the struggle of throne between his two sons – Nasir-ud-din and Ala-ud-din. Nasir-ud-din emerged victorious and ascended the throne in 1500. • Mohammad Shah II was the last ruler of this dynasty. He surrendered to Bahadur Shah, the Sultan of Gujarat in 1531.

  • A Case of City of Joy Maandav, Dist. Dhar, Madhya Pradesh
    International Journal of Innovations in Engineering and Technology (IJIET) http://dx.doi.org/10.21172/ijiet.124.02 Legacy That Historic Cities Carry: A Case of City of Joy Maandav, Dist. Dhar, Madhya Pradesh Ar. Garima Sharma1, Dr. S.S. Jadon2 1,2Department of Architecture & Planning, MITS, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India Abstract- India is home to more than 300 historic cities with very unique character in each of them. These cities carry a legacy since times immemorial, of art, culture, tradition, architecture, planning, engineering, ancient forms and so on. Historic cities are best understood through understanding basics of heritage, land, context & cities. Heritage : Heritage is what we inherit from our ancestors & from our past Land: The land & the people are two integral components of the heritage. Indian context: Heritage in India is result of development in the society, economy, culture, architecture & lifestyle of the people Cities: Those active human settlements strongly conditioned by a physical structure originating in the past & recognizable as representing the evolution of its people (Source: S. Mutal) This definition recognizes that a historical city is not constituted only by a material and physical heritage. It comprises not only Buildings, Streets, Squares, Fountains, Arches, Sculptures, Lamp posts but includes the natural landscape, and of course: • Its residents, • Customs, • Jobs, • Economic and social relations, • Beliefs and urban rituals. This definition also includes the important presence of the past and understands by “historical” all those cultural, architectural, and urban expressions which are recognized as relevant and which express the social and cultural life of a community. It eliminates any selection based on restricted interpretation of the term historical and an outlook which places more value on past periods of history.

  • Bahamani Kingdom
    BAHAMANI KINGDOM The Bahamni kingdom which lasted for more than three centuries arose on the ruins of the Delhi Sultanate and proved to be the most powerful muslim kingdom after the decline of the Delhi Sultanate and before the Mughal Empire. It came into existence during the reign of Muhammad Bin Tuqhlaq under Hasan Gangu who established the Bahamni kingdom., it finally desintegrated into five independent kingdoms which led to the end of the Bahamni kingdom. Of all the independent kingdoms that arose on the ruins of the Delhi Sultanate the Bahamani kingdom of the Deccan proved to be the most powerful. The Bahmani Sultanate (also called the Bahmanid Empire or Bahmani Kingdom) was a Muslim state of the Deccan in South India and one of the great medieval Indian kingdoms. Bahmanid Sultanate was the first independent Islamic Kingdom in South India. Ala-ud-Din Hasan Bahman Shah (3 August 1347- 11 Feb.1358) : It came into existence during the reign of Muhammad bin Tuqhlaq as a challenge to his authority. The nobles of the Deccan rebelled against the Delhi Sultan and seized the fort of Daulatabad and proclaimed Ismail’il much the Afghan, as king of the Deccan under the title of Nasir-ud-din Shah. However Ismail’il Mukh proved unfit for the office and Mahmud Hasan Gangu, entitled Zafar Khan, was declared king by the nobles on the 3rd August, 1347 under the title of ‘Abul- Muzaffar Alauddin Bahman Shah’. Hasan claimed descent from the famous Persian hero Bahman, son of Isfandiyar and the dynasty that he founded came to be known as the Bahmani dynasty.
