    105 Chapter-5 L U C K N 0 W A Study in Resort Personality Physical Setting : The cultural city of Lucknow - on - Gomati is a paramount urban agglomeration in the otherwise economically depressed rural Awadh. Lucknow »was founded on the mound, strategically located on the southern banks of the river Gomati. River frontages are not mere localizable attractions for city facades but they also have a secret hand in determining the morphological aspects of townships particularly in their early stages of development. It is situated at 26*^52' N Latitude and 80^ 56'E longitude. Presently, Lucknow dominates as the capital of Uttar Pradesh. This city, of about over one and half million people ranks among the ten big metropolis of India. Lie of the Land : Considering the notoriety of the Gomati for frequent rising in spates, the high mound-popularly known as the Lakshman Tila- was an ideal location for a human settlement, insuring safety and security against flood hazards. The rest of the land undulates very gradually, almost imperceptibly, towards the south and south east. Now known as Lakshman Tila. 106 TAMING OF THE GOMATI I MILE LUCKNOW: FLOODS SUBMERGED AREA BUND LINE The. Gomati ka^ bzen notoxiou^ {jox h.z>i ' {,ioujn-;>'.

  • Language, Religion and Politics: Urdu in Pakistan and North India / 93
    Language, Religion and Politics: Urdu in Pakistan and North India / 93 Tariq Rahman* Language, Religion and Politics: Urdu in Pakistan and North India Résumé. Langue, religion et politique : l’ourdou au Pakistan et dans le nord de l’Inde. L’ourdou, langue nationale du Pakistan et symbole identitaire des Indiens musulmans est associée à l’islam en Asie du sud. Cette association a été forgée pendant la période coloniale britannique. Les Britanniques ont remplacé le persan - langue du pouvoir moghol - par l’our- dou (aux échelons inférieurs) et l’anglais (aux échelons supérieurs) dans plusieurs régions du nord de l’Inde et de l’actuel Pakistan. L’ourdou s’est diffusé par le biais des réseaux scolaires et de communication dans l’Inde coloniale. Il devint le principal médium d’instruction dans les séminaires musulmans (madrasa-s) et la principale langue des écrits religieux. L’ourdou est également devenu un symbole important de l’identité musulmane et a contribué, juste après l’islam, à mobiliser la communauté musulmane pour demander la création du Pakistan en 1947. Au Pakistan, l’ourdou et l’islam sont des composantes symboliques importantes de l’identité nationale et s’opposent à l’expression des langues autochtones. Cette identité est principalement défendue par les partis politiques de droite et se positionne comme opposée non seulement aux identifications ethniques mais également à une identité occidentale plus globalisée et libérale qui serait symbolisée par l’anglais. En Inde cependant, l’ourdou soutient la minorité musulmane contre la domination hindoue nationaliste. De fait, l’ourdou, dans sa relation avec l’islam, joue un rôle complexe et parfois contradictoire au Pakistan et au nord de l’Inde.

    RESEARCH PAPER Tourism Volume : 3 | Issue : 3 | March 2013 | ISSN - 2249-555X Monumental Heritage in Lucknow: Is Host Population Aware of Monumental Heritage ?

Host population plays very important role in development of tourism activity at any destination. Host population is an important stack holder of the tourism. The level of tolerance, friendly behaviour is of paramount importance in flourishing of the tourism at a destination. The product knowledge is im- perative for the all stack holder.

The study shows there is significant lack in the awareness of the tourism product in host population. The government and non-government organisations must participate in awareness campaign so that local population may actively participate in development of tourism at destination.

The primal culture associated with a place often augments the aura of a region and imparts uniqueness to its existence. Lucknow is no exception to the aforementioned axiom and the city draws its customary legacy from the affluent Shia Nawabs, who ruled it from 1775-1856 CE. As a provincial capital of Awadh (anglicized as Oudh by the British after its annexation), Lucknow epitomized the values of its prodigal rulers, who on the one hand were admired for ushering in the refined and unfailing courtesy of adabs (a way of greeting/salutation) and on the other were vilified for their whimsical propensities. The place may be associated with the legendary duality of a resplendent yet decadent culture of the aristocracy, but its inhabitants relate more often to its fabled pristine past.

    INTRODUCTION 1 ______________________________________________________________________________________ 1.1 Introduction Urbanisation and economic development have caused rapid city expansion in size and structure. The urban structure is becoming increasingly complex, heterogeneous and irregular in shape. The development spreads over to the peri-urban areas resulting in degradation of natural and rural land over time. This process will continue further, if remain unchecked through proper planning measures. This will adversely impact the quality of life of both urban and peri-urban dwellers. Although the urban sprawl in a developing city cannot be stopped, however; a remedy to this issue can be devised through strict zoning regulations based on land suitability and carrying capacity, which allows land use to be channelled towards more sustainable uses. In this context, research study entitled Dynamics of Peri-Urban Areas: Prospects and Challenges of Sustainable Development - A case study of Peri-Urban area of Lucknow is undertaken and peri-urban areas are illustrated at Map 1. Lucknow has been divided into two parts based on growing urbanisation i.e. old Lucknow and New Lucknow. The peri-urban area denote to a grey area which is neither entirely urban nor purely rural in the traditional sense. Sometimes, Peri-urban area is Photo 1: A bird’s eye view of Central area of Lucknow described as physically defined transitional area bordering a city, characterised with mix of both rural and urban form and functions. Peri-urban areas are ‘those areas surrounding the cities within a daily commuting reach of the city core. In some parts of Asia, these regions can stretch for up to thirty kilometres away from city core’.
