  • Anangpal II: Tomar Dynasty
    Anangpal II: Tomar Dynasty drishtiias.com/printpdf/anangpal-ii-tomar-dynasty Why in News Recently, a seminar highlighted the legacy of the long-forgotten Tomar king - Anangpal II. Key Points About Anangpal II: Anangpal II, popularly known as Anangpal Tomar, belonged to the Tomar dynasty. He was the founder of Dhillika Puri, which eventually became Delhi. Evidence about the early history of Delhi is inscribed on the iron pillar of Masjid Quwaatul Islam, adjacent to Qutub Minar. Multiple inscriptions and coins suggest Anangpal Tomar was the ruler of present-day Delhi and Haryana in between the 8th-12th centuries. He had built the city from ruins and under his supervision, Anang Tal Baoli and Lal Kot were constructed. Anangpal Tomar II was succeeded by his grandson Prithviraj Chauhan. Delhi Sultanate was established in 1192 after Prithviraj Chauhan’s defeat in the Battle of Tarain (present-day Haryana) by the Ghurid forces. 1/2 About Tomar Dynasty: Tomara dynasty is one of the minor early medieval ruling houses of northern India. Puranic evidence (writings of the Puranas) gives its early location in the Himalayan region. According to bardic tradition, the dynasty was one of the 36 Rajput tribes. The history of the family spans the period between the reign of Anangpal, who founded the city of Delhi in the 11th century CE, and the incorporation of Delhi within the Chauhan (Chahamana) kingdom in 1164. Although Delhi subsequently became decisively a part of the Chauhan kingdom, numismatic and comparatively late literary evidence indicates that Tomara kings such as Anangapala and Madanapala continued to rule as feudatories, presumably until the final conquest of Delhi by the Muslims in 1192–93.

  • Maharaja Anangpal II Memorial Committee
    Maharaja Anangpal II Memorial Committee Why in news? The government has recently formed the Maharaja Anangpal II Memorial Committee to popularize the legacy of 11th-century Tomar king, Anangpal II. What is the committee for? The National Monument Authority has embarked on a mission to present “correct history” to the people through the works of historians, academics and archaeologists. The present committee aims at crediting Tomar king, Anangpal II with giving Delhi its present name and also repopulating it. Who was Anangpal II? Anangpal II, popularly known as Anangpal Tomar, belonged to the Tomar dynasty. It ruled parts of the present-day Delhi and Haryana between the 8th and 12th centuries. The capital of Tomars changed many times. It was initially at Anangpur (near Faridabad) during the reign of Anangpal I (who founded the Tomar dynasty in the 8th century). It later changed to Dhillikapuri (Delhi) during the reign of Anangpal II. The Tomar rule over the region is attested by multiple inscriptions and coins. Their ancestry can be traced to the Pandavas (of the Mahabharata). The excavations between 1992 and 1995 at Lal Kot and Anang Tal (in south Delhi), supposed to be built by Anangpal II, reveal the above. Anangpal Tomar II was succeeded by his grandson Prithviraj Chauhan. Chauhan was defeated by the Ghurid forces in the Battle of Tarain (present- day Haryana) after which the Delhi Sultanate was established in 1192. What was his connection with Delhi? Anangpal II is credited to have established and populated Delhi during his reign in the 11th century. He was instrumental in populating Indraprastha and giving it its present name, Delhi.

The history of India is also the one which has been created by the common man of India and which is enshrined in the folk stories of India and which has been carried forward by generations. Today, when India is heralding the 75th year of its independence, there can be no greater opportunity than remembering such great men and saluting them respectfully and getting inspiration from them for their contributions, sacrifices, struggles, heroism and martyrdom. Unfortunately, many heroes who devoted their lives for the protection of India and Indianness were not given due recognition. The new India is rectifying the injustice done to those who created history by those who manipulated in the name of writing history, is doing the right thing and freeing the country from misinterpretations.

Myanmar border shut amid strains over refugee crisis Context: India has sealed all entry points along the border with Myanmar and is closely monitoring them to prevent any Myanmar national from entering the country. Details: People belonging to Myanmar’s Chin community were seeking to migrate to Mizoram to escape a military crackdown. There is considerable support and sympathy among the people of Mizoram over the situation in Myanmar as many have relations across the border. The tussle between the Centre and Mizoram on the issue has created a tough time for New Delhi and security agencies in handling the situation on the ground. Mizoram CM had written to the centre asserting that India cannot turn a blind eye to the humanitarian crisis unfolding in our own backyard (Myanmar). “Myanmar area bordering Mizoram is inhibited by Chin communities, who are ethnically our brethren with whom we have been having close contacts throughout all these years even before India became independent”, he stated in the letter. Note: India and Myanmar have an arrangement called the Free Movement Regime (FMR). In March 2020, FMR was suspended due to COVID-19 and no one has been allowed since. The fallout of this was that there has been an increase in smuggling across the border as the livelihood of people has been disrupted due to the pandemic.

Separately, Waze filed an application seeking to be allowed to meet his lawyer in privacy while he is in police custody. Is access to a lawyer the right of an accused? 1. Across the world, various rights are available to a person while in custody of an investigating agency to prevent him or her from being forced into giving self-incriminating statements through means including torture. 2. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights affirms the right of an accused to be informed of the reasons for an arrest, the charges against him and the right to be provided legal assistance. 3. The “Miranda rights” or “Miranda warning”, as they are referred to in the US, require a police officer to inform a suspect being arrested that he has the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before being questioned and the right to have a lawyer with him during questioning.
