List of people from Gujarat: Encyclopedia II - Akbar - Patron of the arts

Although Akbar was illiterate, he had a great love for knowledge, inviting men from all different religions to come to discuss matters of the world with him.

List of people from Gujarat: Encyclopedia II - Islamic conquest of South Asia - Historical Views

In his book Histoire de l'Inde the French historian Alain Danielou writes: From the moment when the Muslims arrive in India, the history of India does not have any more great interest. It is long and monotonous series of murder, massacres, spoilations, destruction. In his book The Story of Civilization the historian Will Durant said: The Mohammadan conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization ...

List of people from Gujarat: Encyclopedia II - Indian general elections 2004 - Impact

The rout of the ruling parties in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala in the general elections led to calls for the dissolution of the governments of these states. The stock market (Bombay Stock Exchange) fell in the week prior to the announcement of the results due to fears of an unstable coalition. As soon as counting began, however, it became clear that the Congress coalition was headed for a sizeable lead over the NDA and the market surged, only to crash the following day when the left parties, whose support would be required for ...

List of people from Gujarat: Encyclopedia II - Akbar - Final years

The closing years of Akbar's reign were troubled by the misconduct of his sons. Two of them died in their youth, the victims of intemperance; and the third, Salim, later known as Emperor Jahangir, was frequently in rebellion against his father. Asirgarh, a fort in the Deccan, proved to be the last conquest of Akbar, taken in 1599 as he proceeded north to face his son's rebellion. Reportedly, Akbar keenly felt these calamities, and they may even have affected his health and hastened his death, which occurred in Agra on October 27th, 1605. His body was deposited in a magnificent mausoleum ...

List of people from Gujarat: Encyclopedia II - Rajasthan - History

Rajasthan was earlier called Rajputana (state of Rajputs) after the ruling class of Rajputs. Rajput which literally means 'son of rulers'. Rajput clans rose to prominence in the 6th century, establishing kingdoms in Rajasthan and across northern India.

List of people from Gujarat: Encyclopedia II - Indian general elections 2004 - Forecast and campaigns

Most analysts believed the NDA would win the elections; this assessment was also supported by opinion polls. The economy had shown steady growth in the last few months and the disinvestment of government owned production units (a continuation of India's liberalisation policies initiated in the early 1990s) had been on track. The Foreign Exchange Reserves of India stood at more than USD 100 billion (7th largest in the world and a record for India). The service sector had also generated a lot of jobs. The party was supposed to have been riding on a wave of the so-called " ...

List of people from Gujarat: Encyclopedia II - Akbar - Religion

At the time of Akbar's rule, the Mughal Empire included both Hindus and Muslims.

Commission after commission on the "language question" has called for instruction, at least at the primary level, in the students' native tongue. In some r ...

List of people from Gujarat: Encyclopedia II - Jawaharlal Nehru - Gandhi and the 1920s

His father Motilal Nehru was already a prominent figure in the Indian National Congress and had served as its president. Thus when young and glamorous Jawaharlal entered the Congress, it excited young Indians all over, who felt Nehru would rejuvenate India's political leadership and come at the same level with the British rulers of the land. Nehru did not share Motilal's moderate-liberal line. He began to draw closer to the rising leadership of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, a former barrister who had won battles for equality and political rights for Indians in South Africa, and had emerged a national hero with the succe ...
