THE main objects that I have had in view in publishing a Treatise on Kurrachee are, in the first place, to submit to the Public a succinct collection of facts relating to that City and Port which, at a future period, it might be difficult to retrieve from the records of the Past ; and secondly, to advocate the construction of a Railway system connecting the GateofCentralAsiaand the Valley of the Indus, with the Native Capital of India. I have elsewhere mentioned the authorities to whom I am indebted, and have gratefully acknowledged the valuable assistance that, from numerous sources, has been afforded to me in the compilation of this Work; but an apology is due to my Readers for the comments and discursions that have been interpolated, and which I find, on revisal, occupy a considerable number of the following pages.

  • Textile Manufacturing and Trade Without and with Coercion: the Indian Experience in the Eighteenth Century Om Prakash India
    Textile Manufacturing and Trade Without and With Coercion: The Indian Experience in the Eighteenth Century Om Prakash India has traditionally been a major textile manufacturing nation. Indeed, until the early part of the nineteenth century when the Industrial Revolution conferred a distinct cost advantage on the West, India had dominated world trade in textiles. Such domination was clearly in evidence in the Indian Ocean trade, alternatively referred to as Asian trade, in the period prior to the arrival of the Europeans in the Ocean at the end of the fifteenth century. In part, this indeed was a function of the midway location of the subcontinent between west Asia on the one hand and southeast Asia on the other. But perhaps even more important was the subcontinent’s capacity to put on the market a wide range of tradeable goods at highly competitive prices. By far the most important of these goods was textiles of various kinds. While these included high-value varieties such as the legendary Dhaka muslins and Gujarat silk embroideries, the really important component for the Asian market was the coarse cotton varieties manufactured primarily on the Coromandel coast and in Gujarat. There was a large scale demand for these varieties both in the eastern markets of Indonesia, Malaya, Thailand and Burma as well as in the markets of the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and East Africa. While it is impossible to determine precisely what proportion of total domestic demand for mass consumption textiles in these societies was met by imports from India, the available evidence would seem to point in the direction of this not being altogether insignificant.

  • Economy of Transport in Mughal India
    ECONOMY OF TRANSPORT IN MUGHAL INDIA ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Bottor of ^t)tla£foplip ><HISTORY S^r-A^. fi NAZER AZIZ ANJUM % 'i A ^'^ -'mtm''- kWgj i. '* y '' «* Under the Supervision of PROFESSOR SHIREEN MOOSVI CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY 4LIGARH (INDIA) 2010 ABSTRACT ]n Mughal India land revenue (which was about 50% of total produce) was mainly realised in cash and this resulted in giving rise to induced trade in agricultural produce. The urban population of Mughal India was over 15% of the total population - much higher than the urban population in 1881(i.e.9.3%). The Mughal ruling class were largely town-based. At the same time foreign trade was on its rise. Certain towns were emerging as a centre of specialised manufactures. These centres needed raw materials from far and near places. For example, Ahmadabad in Gujarat a well known centre for manufacturing brocade, received silk Irom Bengal. Saltpeter was brought from Patna and indigo from Biana and adjoining regions and textiles from Agra, Lucknow, Banaras, Gazipur to the Gujarat ports for export. This meant development of long distance trade as well. The brisk trade depended on the conditions and techniques of transport. A study of the economy of transport in Mughal India is therefore an important aspect of Mughal economy. Some work in the field has already been done on different aspects of system of transport in Mughal India. This thesis attempts a single study bringing all the various aspects of economy of transport together.

  • THE CANCELLED CUP the Spanish Flu in the 1918-1919 Hockey Season Eric Zweig
    DefiningMomentsCanada.ca THE CANCELLED CUP The Spanish Flu in the 1918-1919 Hockey Season Eric Zweig he Montreal Canadiens faced elimination on March 29, 1919. After four games in their best-of-five series Twith the Seattle Metropolitans, Montreal had only one win. Seattle had two. The fourth game ended in a 0–0 tie after 20 minutes of overtime. The Canadiens had to win game five to stay alive. If they did, they’d force one more game – a sudden-death sixth game for the Stanley Cup. The Canadiens needed a victory, but the Metropolitans came out flying. Seattle’s Frank Foyston got the first goal at 5:40 of the first period, and the Canadiens were down 2–0 by intermission. It was 3–0 Seattle after two periods, but Montreal fought back. They tied the game late in the third and won it 4–3 after nearly 16 minutes of overtime. Game six to decide the Stanley Cup was scheduled for April 1, 1919, but the long games were taking a toll. Players on both teams were injured and exhausted. Still, there wasn’t much cause for concern. No one suspected the real problem. These fierce competitors weren’t just tired, they were sick – and the consequences would be deadly. Frank Foyston The game of hockey looked very different a century ago. The arenas were more compact and darker. The players wore little protective equipment, and they were smaller, averaging only about 5-foot-9 (175 cm) and 160 pounds (72.5 kg). Even so, the best ones played close to 60 minutes a game.
