Proposed Research Work

10. (i) Project Title(ii) Introduction

Origin of the research problemIn fact heritage aspect of the Indian society is neglected. One of the important parts of heritage ishistorical monuments. These monuments except few were and are at the verge of destruction.Those who were conscious and aware of the conservation of heritage made surveys of suchbuildings. For Delhi survey was carried out and a book was published. But a survey made for themonuments of Agra was not known. I came across a manuscript Tafrih-ul Imaratpreserved in theIOL and British Museum is a report and record of important buildings of Agra. The Englishtranslation from Persian language would make the people aware about their heritage, particularlythe heritage related to the historical buildings.

Interdisciplinary relevanceObviously it is interdisciplinary covering history, civil engineering and technology, Socio-cultural, economic and Political aspects.

Review of Research and Development in the Subject:Research on the aspect of heritage in the historical context is neglected. It requires specialattention to support such researches.

International statusThis work would highlight how much India is rich in regard of its heritage. Only one city Agrahad and has several monumental buildings and the city of Agra is not less important than wholeof England. Many hidden or lesser known monuments can be reproduced in a way to attract thevisitors from all over the world.

National StatusAgra is known for Taj Mahal and by highlighting other buildings the importance of the city wouldbe augmented. These new unearthed buildings could be presented as new product to thedomestic and as well as foreign tourists. It would be helpful to the local people to make theirlivelihood and way of living better.

Significance of the studyIt is a rare manuscript dealing with the historical buildings. Many unknown or lesser knownbuildings shall be highlighted and these can be preserved as national heritage. This work willhelp to know the civil engineering technology employed in the construction. Through thesebuildings one can understand socio-economic status of the people.

(iii) ObjectivesObjective is obvious to identify the historical building and to construct the history of these buildings.

Some new light can be thrown on the known existing buildings and to construct history of unknownhistorical monuments.

(iv) MethodologyOn the basis of the information and references containing in the Tafrih ul Imarat, one can collectinformation from the literary sources. In addition to literary sources, oral historical traditions and legendscan be collected and analysed. One has to go on field trip to see and identify these buildings.

(v) Year wise Plan of work and targets to be achieve.In one and half year the manuscripts will be copied, edited and in the next 6 to 12 months, it would betranslated into English. In sum one can indicate as such:(i) 12-18 month To copy, type and edit(ii) 06-12 months Translation from Persian to English
