Grant me just this boon, O sovereign Lord !May I never shrink from the doing of righteous deeds; May I fight, without flinching, all adversaries in the

FADING TRADITION OF PATOLA
Radhika Malhotra (B.A. History Honours llnd year)
India, being a diverse country, is home to various traditional art and craft forms. Every state has their own art and craft forms to boast about. However, many traditional art and crafts of India are dying a slow death due to modernization and technological developments. The machine made products are being preferred over handmade products and hence, face a threat of extinction.The list of these diminishing art and craft forms is long, but I would like to highlight the craft form that interests me the most and i.e. Patola weaving.
Patola is a double ikat woven sari, usually made from silk, in Patan, Gujarat, India. They are very expensive and were once only worn by those belonging to the royal and aristocratic families. This weaving has been practiced since the eleventh century. It is a closely guarded family tradition. There are only three families in Patan that weave these highly prized double ikat saris. It is said that the technique is only taught to the boys in the family.
The technique of weaving Patola is very tedious. The first step involves tying the yarn with the thread according to the pattern that has been decided. The measurements can be as small as l/100th of an inch and requires a lot of concentration. The yarn undergoes multiple cycles of tying and dying, according to the colors that have been decided. Every color has a unique place in the sari and any displacement can send all the hard work down the drain! A unique feature of the Patola loom is that it is tilted to one side and requires two people to sit and work together on just one sari. Hence, it takes six months to one year to make one sari due to the precision it requires.The technique is mainly practiced by the Salvi community and they have built a museum to document the rich heritage of Patola weaving. Due to its time consuming process, very few weavers continue to practice this technique. Also, because of its high cost, people cannot afford to buy Patola, hence receding its demand.
Also, due to the changing times and technological developments, the process of making intricate motifs has been simplified, which appeals to the modern tastes. However, there is a need to rediscover and retain some of the old designs to prevent these craft forms from fading away forever.

Every year the Department of History of Mata Sundri College for Women makes a mandatory visit to the National Museum of India and it is worth a trip. Our batch, B.A. History Honours 1st Year (2016-17) had visited the museum along with three faculty members, Ms Shabnam Suri, Ms Panchali Devi and Mr Navendu Shekhar of the department on 7th February 2017.
National Museum is the premier Museum of India and it holds articles ranging from the pre-historic era to modern works of art. At the root of the idea of the National Museum was an exhibition of Indian art and artifacts at Burlington House in London. It was decided to exhibit same artifacts in India as well. A Museum was then established on 15th August 1949 at the Rashtrapati Bhawan. The exhibition was shown at Rashtrapati Bhawan was so successful that it led to the decision to form a permanent Museum. On 15 may 1955, the then Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru laid the cornerstone of the Museum and on 18 December 1960 the present building of National Museum was building formally opened to the public.
Presently, the National Museum houses over 2,10,000 art objects representing 5000 years of Indian art and craft. The Museum has various sections of display galleries. The first gallery that we saw was of the Harappan Civilization or the Indus Valley Civilization. This gallery has put up on display various artifacts which include seals, tablets, weights & measures, jewellery, figurines and toys. I remember vividly figurines in bronze and terracotta, bone objects, toys and very beautifully decorated shining pottery excavated from the Harappan sites. The gallery has also put up on display one of the skeleton which was found from Rakhigarhi. Another fascinating view was of the famous bronze statute of the dancing girl and mother goddess with an elaborated headdress in the Museum.
From the Harappan gallery we had moved on to see the Maurya, Shunga and Satavahana collection. This gallery has objects from 4th to 1st century BCE. The gallery houses along with other artifacts fragments of railing from various ancient stupas, like the railing from Bharut Stupa showing the episodes of Buddha's life.The famous 'Standing Buddha' sculpture from Gandhara School of art can be seen in the Kushana Gallery with other sculpture including Kuber, Bodhisattva and the Jain votive plaque. With that we enter the Gupta Gallery and at the entrance we can see two very detailed statues of goddess Ganga and Yamuna standing on their vehicle, the makara and the turtle respectively, holding a pot full of water. In the Gupta gallery we can see sculptures and panels depicting scenes from the epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata and beautiful sculptures of Hindu gods and goddess like Lord Vishnu, mother goddess and ekmukha shivlinga just to name a few.
The Medieval Arts Gallery is filled with statues and sculptures of god and goddess. The Museum also holds a brilliant section of Indian miniature paintings and it has over 17,000 miniature painting divided according to the places and time where the school of art flourished. These beautiful paintings are done on various materials such as palm leaf, cloth, wood surface, leather etc. These miniature paintings belong to different major styles such as the Mughal, Deccani, Rajasthani, Pahari and maybe other sub-styles.

The Mughal paintings mainly illustrate durbar scenes or portraiture. Famous paintings like marriage procession of Dara Shikoh & Jahangir are also shown in the display. The Rajasthani and Pahari Miniature Paintings illustrate Hindu mythological themes. The most famous painting from this school of art is BANI - THANI. It is a portrait of a woman who is elegant and graceful. She has been labelled as the India's Mona Lisa.
The Buddhist Artifacts Gallery has Buddha's relics from a stupa built by Emperor Ashoka and we were fortunate enough to witness Buddhist monks paying homage to the relics.
The National Museum also depicts the evolution of Indian script, it has large sized well-lit transparencies on show which narrates the development on various Indian scripts, this gallery leads into the Bronze gallery. The Bronze Gallery- a collection of Hindu statues made in bronze. The iconic Shiva dancing nataraja is on display in this gallery .The Coin Gallery of National Museum has been set up in an innovative manner; it starts from cowries and ends at the credit cards.
The National Museum has the most extensive collection of jewellery in India. The jewellery gallery is called ALAMKARA- the beauty of ornaments. This collection is under high security, the visitors have to go through a proper security check before entering the gallery. This fabulous collection includes simple yet beautiful bead necklace from the Harappan Civilization to jewels adorned with images of god and goddess to the magnificent items that once reposed in the treasury of the Mughal Emperors and Maharajas.
As a student of history it is very important for us to see for ourselves the things which are being talked about in the textbooks since books provide us knowledge but a personal visual experience changes our perception towards particular things. Our visit to the National Museum of History was very enlightening and leaves an unforgettable imprint on our memories as in today's world where most of us are on the brink of forgetting how rich our civilization was, it is through these museums it becomes easy and convenient for the people to peep into the history and unravel India's rich culture.

REMINISCING
Binita Mehar
(B.A. History Honours lllrd year-2014-17)
Pursuing graduation from MATA SUNDRI COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, UNIVERSITY of DELHI under the guidance of the dedicated faculty members of Department of History has been a remarkable experience. I would like to thank, the Principal forgiving us unique opportunities, providing well equipped library, well maintained college vicinity, canteen and auditorium along with a conference hall etc. As at the end of the journey there are many untold and unsaid efforts of the teachers I would like to present heartfelt gratitude to our respected teachers who not only made us work hard, but they themselves put in extra efforts for our brighter future.
History Department bid farewell to us on 21st April 2017. The farewell consisted of an interactive session with the alumni of the department who guided us regarding the future career options. It continued for about an hour, where the students and teachers interacted and guided us with the eligibility criteria and future alternative career options as well. The session started at 9:00 am and continued till 3:00 pm. We were welcomed and received by the juniors. They welcomed us by putting tika on our foreheads and gave us our class group photograph as memento, which was an astonishing gift for us . After the interaction session, we had a very interesting gaming session as well - the juniors, prepared a variety of chits with contained different situations and the person who so ever picks up on chits they were suppose to perform as per the demand of the chit . It was total fun game, some were told to mimic, and some to make whatsapp faces. The next round was the guessing game, where the pictures of some of the students were shown when they were kids on the projector and we had to guess who it was. It was a hard one as it was difficult to guess those cute little faces that had now turned into mature young ladies.
We started with our lunch at 1:30 pm. I would like to thank, our juniors and golden hearted teachers for their thoughtfulness and hospitality. After our lunch we had a photo session with our teachers. It was a very emotional moment for all of us.
I, on behalf of the other students, would like to thank our juniors and our teachers for giving us and adding on an amazing and remarkable memory.
Every end has a new beginning, and so here we are ending up with our graduation and all geared up to face the outer world as strong women of tomorrow. I thank my batch mates and the teachers for giving me these moments to smile upon later in life.
With Best regards!!

BUYING OF BRIDES IN INDIA
Pranjali Saini(B.A. History Honours IlndYear)
Buying of brides is a very common practice in India. To say it in a more urban way it is called "dowry". It is very much of a common practice in rural as well as some urban areas of states like Haryana, Punjab, Bihar and Maharashtra. A survey of 10,000 households in northern states found that more than 9,000 married women had come from poorer families of other states.
In a country where marital rape is still lawful, this news does not come as very much of a shock. But still what is the reason for this? Is it ill-literacy, poverty, foeticide, unemployment or gender imbalance? How woeful it is all of the above. Preference of male babies1 has created one of the most severe gender imbalances and now shortage of women is fuelling as a dangerous demand for brides. Men are now desperate to marry. Furthermore poor families sell their daughters in lure of mere Rs 10,000 because in India a daughter is considered an object whose maintenance is a nuisance and also very expensive.
The question today is "why there is such difference towards women in India?" Could some of these differences arise because girls and women are generally biologically weaker? To answer this 'Kamla Bhasin'2 in her article says that "neither sex nor nature is responsible for the unjustifiable inequalities that exist between women and men. Like the inequalities between castes, classes and races, these too are manmade; they are historical constructs and therefore can be questioned, challenged and changed. A woman may well have children but that should be no reason for inferiority and subordination; nor should determine her education, training or job opportunities" to this she also adds a beautiful and strong question that "Why should having different bodies and different functions lead to inequality? You do not have to be the same to be equal, to have equal rights and opportunities."
From womb to tomb women are victims of violence and deprivation. It is not even about the female foeticide but the general respect and lack of value for girls. Maybe it's the change of social norms or the complex of superiority that led towards such behavior for women. Since birth only we can see the differentiation in the behavior towards a female and a male child. Then be it in terms of how they are raised, opportunities and choices
given or the rate of freedom given to both. We can take examples from daily life only like 'why men look good without make up!?' or 'why only it is the duty of women to cook and clean?' To answer the first question this is because they are never told off it otherwise because beauty and imperfections are always associated with women only and for the second one is off course due to orthodox mentality and patriarchal society.
Even this hypocrisy is also not new, it has been happening since ages. Take the example from Ramayana, it was Sita, in the end that was questioned about her chastity and later abandoned while she was pregnant. Why? Just because directly confronting her didn't seem right as opposed to any other solution? But the question of the hour is 'why nobody wants to raise this topic? Why such insensitivity towards it? ' Is it because even today female gender is such an inferior and downtrodden concept that nobody wants to give a second glance towards it? It is high time that questions against misogyny be raised. Not because of what has happened or what is happening towards the vulnerable section of our society, but because this section is also half of our society.
