At the age of 18 in 1542 CE, she was married to Dalpatshah, the eldest son of king Sangramshah of Gond Dynasty. Chandel and Gond dynasties got closer as a consequence of this marriage and that was the reason Keerat Rai got the help of Gonds and his son-in-law Dalpatshah at the time of invasion of Shershah Suri in which Shershah Suri died. She gave birth to a son in 1545 A.D. who was named Vir Narayan. Dalpatshah died in about 1550 A.D. Durgavati took the reins of the Gond kingdom in her hands. Two ministers Adhar Kayastha and Man Thakur helped the Rani in looking after the administration successfully and effectively. Rani moved her capital to Chauragarh in place of Singaurgarh. Rani Durgavati was a personality with varied facets. She was valiant, beautiful and brave and also a great leader with administrative skills. Her self-respect forced her to fight till death rather than surrender herself to her enemy. She, like her ancestral dynasty, built so many lakes in her state and did a lot for the welfare of her people. She respected the scholars and extended her patronage to them. She welcomed the Vitthalnath of Vallabh community and took Diksha from him. She was secular and appointed many eminent Muslims on important posts. The place where she sacrificed herself has always been a source of inspiration for freedom fighters. In the year 1983, the Government of Madhya Pradesh renamed the University of Jabalpur as Rani Durgavati Vishwavidyalaya in her memory. Government of India paid its tribute to the valiant Rani by issuing a postal-stamp commemorating her martyrdom, on 24th June 1988.

Model Hints Gupta Dynasty emerged as the supreme power in India during 4th century. The Gupta rulers who had connections with the M.P. were Samudragupta, Bhangupta, Chandragupta II and Skandagupta. Samudragupta • Three important facts associated with the Samudragupta affected the ancient M.P. as follows: • Eran inscription (Eran, Sagar) : According to Eran inscription, this city was known as Swaghog nagar of Samdragupta(Consumable by Samudragupta only) . • Prayag praise (Prayag , U.P.) : According to prayag inscription (composed by Harisena), Samudragupta on his expedition towards south, passed through the dense forest of M.P. and thereby conquered some rulers ruling inside the forest. • Ramgupta "Kanch": Some coins named as "Kanch" (Samudragupta's another name) also recovered from the vidisha. Chandragupta— II "Vikramaditya" (375- 415 AD) • The greatest gupta king "Chandragupta—II" is assumed to be famous and popular Ujjaini king "Vikramaditya", about whom various myth practiced in the region. • Chandragupta —II owned the title "Vikramaditya" and was called as "Shakari" , "Dhaw", "Devraj" etc. • Chandragupta announced the Ujjain as capital for gupta empire.

Model Hints History Of MP During the Medieval Period In 528, Vasodharman of Malwa defeated the Hunas, who had invaded India from the north-west and ended their expansion. In this way, Malwa reemerged from the disintegrating Gupta Empire as a separate kingdom. Pushyabhuti Dynasty During the seventh century, the region was conquered by King Harsha from Thaneshwar. He reunited northern India for a few decades before his death in 647. Rashtrakuta Dynasty In 786, the region was captured by the south Indian dynasty—Rashtrakuta kings of the Deccan. This period saw the triangular struggle for power between Pal-Pratihar-Rashtrakuts. The Rashtrakutas appointed the Rajput clan of Paramara rulers as governors of Malwa. So the medieval period saw the rise of the rajputs such as the Parmars of Malwa and the Chandels of Bundelkhand (see note). Gurjara-Pratihara Dynasty This dynasty ruled central India from the mid-seventh to the eleventh century. They ruled first at Ujjain and later at Kannauj. The Gurjara-Pratiharas prevented the Arabs from moving east of the Indus River. The Gurjara—Pratiharas became the most powerful dynasty in northern India under Nagabhata II. Nagabhata's grandson was MihiraBhoja. Under Bhoja and his successor Mahendrapala I, the Pratihara Empire reached its peak of prosperity and power. The extent of its territory rivaled that of the Gupta Empire. This expansion once again triggered the tripartite power struggle for the control of the Indian subcontinent.

In this study seismic hazard has been estimated for Bargi Dam site. The probabilistic Seismic Hazard analysis has been used. Effects of all the faults, which can produce earthquake equal to or more than 3.5 Magnitude and those within a radius of 300 Km from the centre of the Masonry Dam has been considered. The past history of earthquakes indicated that a total 82 earthquakes, of magnitude 3.5 or more has been occurred in last 175 years. The maximum magnitude reported within the region of consideration is 6.5 in 1927 at Umaria. Probabilistic approach use these data for hazard Analysis. Results are presented in the form of peak ground acceleration and seismic hazard curves.

  • Report on International Religious Freedom 2006: India
    India Page 1 of 22 India International Religious Freedom Report 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respected this right in practice. However, the Government sometimes did not act swiftly enough to counter effectively societal attacks against religious minorities and attempts by some leaders of state and local governments to limit religious freedom. This resulted in part from legal constraints on national government action inherent in the country's federal structure and from shortcomings in its law enforcement and justice systems, although courts regularly upheld the constitutional provision of religious freedom. Despite Government efforts to foster communal harmony, some extremists continued to view ineffective investigation and prosecution of attacks on religious minorities, particularly at the state and local level, as a signal that they could commit such violence with impunity, although numerous cases were in the courts at the end of the reporting period. While the National Government took positive steps in key areas to improve religious freedom, the status of religious freedom generally remained the same during the period covered by this report. The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) continued to implement an inclusive and secular platform based on respect for the country's traditions of secular government and religious tolerance, and the rights of religious minorities. Terrorists attempted to provoke religious conflict by attacking Hindu Temples in Ayodhya and Varanasi. The Government reacted in a swift manner to rein in Hindu extremists, prevent revenge attacks and reprisal, and assure the Muslim community of its safety.

  • 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.

The Eddas of Scandinavia, the Niebelungen Lied of Germany, the Iliad of Homer, the Enead of Virgil, the Inferno, the Purgatorio, and the Paradiso of Dante, the Paradise Lost of Milton, the Lusiad of Camcens, the Shah Nama of Firdausi are and no more the Epics ; Ramayana of Valmeeki is an Epic and much more. If any work can clam} to be the Bible of the Hindus, it is the Ramayana of Valmeeki. Professor MacDonell, the latest writer on Samskritha Literature, says : " The Epic contains the following verse foretelling its everlasting fame * As long as moynfain ranges stand And rivers flow upon the earth, So long will this Ramayana Survive upon the lips of men. This prophecy has been perhaps even more abundantly fulfilled than the well-known prediction of Horace. No pro- duct of Sanskrit Literature has enjoyed a greater popularity in India down to the present day than the Ramayana. Its story furnishes the subject of many other Sanskrit poems as well as plays and still delights, from the lips* of reciters, the hearts of the myriads of the Indian people, as at the 11 PREFACE great annual Rama-festival held at Benares.
