    In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.

  • Engineers in India: Industrialisation, Indianisation and the State, 1900-47
    Engineers in India: Industrialisation, Indianisation and the State, 1900-47 A P A R A J I T H R AMNATH July 2012 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Imperial College London Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine DECLARATION This thesis represents my own work. Where the work of others is mentioned, it is duly referenced and acknowledged as such. APARAJITH RAMNATH Chennai, India 30 July 2012 2 ABSTRACT This thesis offers a collective portrait of an important group of scientific and technical practitioners in India from 1900 to 1947: professional engineers. It focuses on engineers working in three key sectors: public works, railways and private industry. Based on a range of little-used sources, it charts the evolution of the profession in terms of the composition, training, employment patterns and work culture of its members. The thesis argues that changes in the profession were both caused by and contributed to two important, contested transformations in interwar Indian society: the growth of large-scale private industry (industrialisation), and the increasing proportion of ‘native’ Indians in government services and private firms (Indianisation). Engineers in the public works and railways played a crucial role as officers of the colonial state, as revealed by debates on Indianisation in these sectors. Engineers also enabled the emergence of large industrial enterprises, which in turn impacted the profession. Previously dominated by expatriate government engineers, the profession expanded, was considerably Indianised, and diversified to include industrial experts. Whereas the profession was initially oriented towards the imperial metropolis, a nascent Indian identity emerged in the interwar period.

  • Indian Capitalism
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive The Incomplete Transition: Stunted Industrialisation and the Historical Development of India’s Big Business Class Mazumdar, Surajit 30 December 2018 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/104967/ MPRA Paper No. 104967, posted 06 Jan 2021 11:16 UTC The Incomplete Transition: Stunted Industrialisation and the Historical Development of India's Big Business Class Paper Presented at Aligarh Historians Society and The Centre of Advanced Study in History, A.M.U, Seminar on , 29th-30th December 2018. ‘India’s Business Class, Past & Present’ Surajit Mazumdar CESP/SSS Jawaharlal Nehru University Abstract: In many parts of the world, industrialisation has been an outcome of their capitalist development, with profit seeking capitalists serving as its agents. Differences in the characters of this class of agents, shaped by their origins and their mutual interaction with actual industrialisation processes, however, characterise different stories of capitalist development. This paper explores this theme in relation to Indian capitalism – examining how the colonial origins of the Indian industrial capitalist class imparted to it a specific character and the limited extent to which that legacy could be overcome by the subsequent relatively restricted industrialisation process. The case of the Reliance group is used to fortify and illustrate the argument. The Incomplete Transition 2 Historically industrialization of countries has had a strong association with capitalism and profit-oriented capitalist firms have been its chief agents in many parts of the world. Many countries successfully followed Britain to achieve an 'industrialized' status, but this has been far from being a universal a phenomenon. India is a case in point and serves to highlight the significance of the concrete internal and external conjunctures in determining whether and to what extent does a process of capitalist development produces industrialization.

  • Indian National Congress Sessions
    Indian National Congress Sessions INC sessions led the course of many national movements as well as reforms in India. Consequently, the resolutions passed in the INC sessions reflected in the political reforms brought about by the British government in India. Although the INC went through a major split in 1907, its leaders reconciled on their differences soon after to give shape to the emerging face of Independent India. Here is a list of all the Indian National Congress sessions along with important facts about them. This list will help you prepare better for SBI PO, SBI Clerk, IBPS Clerk, IBPS PO, etc. Indian National Congress Sessions During the British rule in India, the Indian National Congress (INC) became a shiny ray of hope for Indians. It instantly overshadowed all the other political associations established prior to it with its very first meeting. Gradually, Indians from all walks of life joined the INC, therefore making it the biggest political organization of its time. Most exam Boards consider the Indian National Congress Sessions extremely noteworthy. This is mainly because these sessions played a great role in laying down the foundational stone of Indian polity. Given below is the list of Indian National Congress Sessions in chronological order. Apart from the locations of various sessions, make sure you also note important facts pertaining to them.
