Boctor of $F)Tlosropf)P in HISTORY SOCIAL LIFE AND CULTURAL PRACTICES AMONG THE MERCHANT GROUP IN MUGHAL GUJARAT ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Boctor of $f)tlosropf)p IN HISTORY 3Y MONIKA SHARMA UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. SUMBUL HALIM KHAN CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH-202002 (INDIA) 2013 Social Life and Cultural Practices Among the Merchant Group in Mughal Gujarat Abstract The theme 'Social Life and Cultural Practices Among the Merchant Group in Mughal Gujarat' proposed to address the social dimension of otherwise commercially acknowledged region - Gujarat. The merchant group were fenced off in order to address vital problems linked to structural morphology of the mercantile community, their organisation, nature of professional network as also proximity to the administrators. The present endeavour though largely based on the classic works of Pearson, Ashin- E>aS Gupta, Makarand Mehta, Ruby Maloni et al undertakes a fresh approach on tfi^-SBygraidiEti^iisions integral to the Merchant groups such as Bohras, Parsis, Ghanchis, Memons and Europeans etc. The first chapter focuses the broadlines of the region - namely that the region of Gujarat had considerable agricultural resources to sustain and provide impetus to mercantile activities, evidence also indicates the presence of accelerate activity in commercial and manufacturing centres. This peculiarly conductive envirormient led to the region becoming a hub not only of thriving mercantile institutions and capital but also becoming a conglomerate of skilled artisans and craftsmen. As a result it was properly connected by inland and overseas trade routes and the elements which supported its commercial life. The second chapter contains the major communities, their origin, involvement in trade and commerce, and their settlement. The main communities during 16"'-17* centuries were Banias, Bohras, Chalebis, Khojas, Memons, Parsis, Ghanchis and Europeans. These communities were spread all over the Gujarat, especially in commercial and industrial centres. Third chapter outlines Hving standard of the merchants. To assess the living standards, some important aspects of merchants' life has been studied, such as Social Life and Cultural Practices Among the Merchant Group in Mughal Gujarat Abstract their housing, everyday hfe, dresses, ornaments, resorts, parties, education, women's status, language, their source of entertainments, rehgion and their food habits etc. On the basis of these aspects one can guage their social status. Fourth chapter entails the social customs mores of merchants, which includes marriages, polygamy, child marriage, intermarriages in different castes, widow remarriage, custom of sati, ceremonies related to child birth, ceremonies related to death and festivals etc. The cultural dimension reflected herein shows a gross assimilation of social and religious values in Indian heritage. Chapter five intends to focus the relations of merchants with the Mughals and their officials in the region. This exercise samples certain important merchants like Shantidas Zaveri, Mulla Abdul Ghafur and Virji Vora to buttress the thesis of close proximity of the two vital entities merchant and the Mughal court. Sixth chapter intends to assess the ways in which the merchant communities invested their capital. The main areas of their investment were shipbuilding business and their respective commercial enterprise. They also invested in luxurious mansions and gardens in the region as well as overseas, forts, troops, charity, public welfare, education and learning, religious buildings, money lending, cotton trade and shipping insurance etc. Seventh and the last chapter consist of an appraisal of different institutions of merchant communities, like guilds, mahajans, nagarsheth, brokers, sahukar and saraf. These institutions were maintained for smooth conduct of mercantile transactions. Regarding the institution of nagarsheth Tripathi and Mehta observe that "Shantidas has never been mentioned as a nagarsheth in any of Social Life and Cultural Practices Among the Merchant Group in Mughal Gujarat Abstract the contemporary documents, and this title was not prefixed with his name in Mirat-i-Ahmadi, which never refers to Khushalchand (Shantidas's son) without the title." Khushalchand had established an undisputed claim to the epithet of nagarsheth, not only for himself, but also for his descendents. This clearly indicates that none in the long line of such nagarsheths belonged to any other family. The development of this portfolio was a peculiarity of a particular family. Our study concludes that despite vigorous commercial enterprise of the various merchant communities they have to be contextualised not only in economic perspective, but also as a major social entity. The variant religious and cultural practices are equally significant dimensions which have enriched in multifarious manner the Gujarati culture and Indian heritage at large. The rich culture synthesis of communities like Parsis, Ghanchis, Bohra, Banias have lent much to the aesthetic values of the Indian subcontinent.

  • Mughal Architecture of Kashmir: an Overview Sajad Ahmad Darzi [email protected]
    Mughal Architecture of Kashmir: An Overview Sajad Ahmad Darzi [email protected] Abstract: Mughals revived the stone architecture and built exquisite and grand structures in the Valley. The architecture here saw a fusion of regional features and imperial style, making it quite a distinct form of art. Moreover, the topography of Valley afforded garden making on Central Asian pattern that was utilized by the emperors. The present paper tries to explain how the region received a favourable space in the representation of empire. Among the arts, the art of architecture is a touchstone of the social, cultural and aesthetic values. This art gets a new life by accepting the impact of other cultures. The art and architecture assume primary historical importance as they essentially reflect a cross fertilization of native and foreign influences which are the result of broader cultural, political and economic interaction between regions, people and their cultures. The symphony of different ideas of culture is overwhelmingly decipherable in the architectural patterns. The architecture does not only reflect the cultural interaction, but also the idea of aesthetics that find acceptance in a given socio-political and economic order. The environment and natural resources play an important role in its development. The ideas of aesthetics reflected in art and architecture indicate an advanced stage of human cultures and finally the civilization. It is here that the ideas and techniques of a society find visual expression.1 Art and architecture manifest itself in temples, mosques, monasteries, mausoleums and memorials, and represent the true character of the culture of the period as they reflect the mindset and approach of that society.

President's Corner Namaskaru, It gives us immense pleasure to inform that our final event - “Diwali” in 2010 was a grand success. We had over 350 people attend this event in San Jose. The entire KAOCA committee thanks the patrons who helped make this event a huge success. The event started at 4 pm with snacks, which included Masala Puri and Shira. The Entertainment program started at 5 pm and had a variety of programs including a couple of skits. The dinner followed at 8:15 pm and the menu included Valval, Ambe Upkari, Veg Kurma and Chicken Curry. The evening ended on a high note after the DJ music. It is time now for us – the 2010 KAOCA committee to move on and reflect back on the nostalgic journey which started late in 2009. On a personal note, when Sulatha and I were approached to head the committee for 2010, I was not very sure. However, my wife the charmer she is, talked me into it. “Yes we can” was her slogan and that triggered enough adrenaline rush in me to stand up and take the mantle. That is one side of the story. The other is the fabulous committee that made all of this happen.

  • Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India
    Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India Gyanendra Pandey CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Remembering Partition Violence, Nationalism and History in India Through an investigation of the violence that marked the partition of British India in 1947, this book analyses questions of history and mem- ory, the nationalisation of populations and their pasts, and the ways in which violent events are remembered (or forgotten) in order to en- sure the unity of the collective subject – community or nation. Stressing the continuous entanglement of ‘event’ and ‘interpretation’, the author emphasises both the enormity of the violence of 1947 and its shifting meanings and contours. The book provides a sustained critique of the procedures of history-writing and nationalist myth-making on the ques- tion of violence, and examines how local forms of sociality are consti- tuted and reconstituted by the experience and representation of violent events. It concludes with a comment on the different kinds of political community that may still be imagined even in the wake of Partition and events like it. GYANENDRA PANDEY is Professor of Anthropology and History at Johns Hopkins University. He was a founder member of the Subaltern Studies group and is the author of many publications including The Con- struction of Communalism in Colonial North India (1990) and, as editor, Hindus and Others: the Question of Identity in India Today (1993).
