School of Mughal Architecture
With this basic infrastructure, we want now to establish a SCHOOL
OF MUGHAL ARCHITECTURE at Delhi or Jaipur, to teach and train the young
scholars through the following academic courses :
-
Six months' Diploma course in Mughal Architecture
-
Three Years' Doctoral Degree
(Ph.D.) in Mughal
Architecture
-
Two Years' Post-Graduate Degree Course (M.A.) in Mughal
Architecture
We will try to get affiliation for these courses with some
prestigious University in India, Germany, UK or USA.
Hitherto, we have been largely working on our own resources. But,
for land and building, we depend on financial support by
educational, philanthropic and other bodies, and persons who like
and admire our work and who want to support this intellectual and
academic cause for the establishment of this Center of Learning for better understanding and appreciation of
this marvellous
Architectural Heritage.
Library
We already have a library needed for higher study and research in
this discipline, in the following sections :
-
Sanskrit
Architectural Texts (on
Vastu and Silpa) and translations
-
Persian histories
of the medieval period from 1000 to 1707 A.D. (texts and
translations)
-
Accounts of
Foreign travellers who visited India during the medieval period
-
Sanskrit and
Hindi literary works of the medieval period
-
A.S.I
Publications including
Epigraphia-Indo-Moslemica and
Epigraphia-Indica (Arabic and Persian Supplement) series
volumes on Medieval Persian epigraphy and other related works
-
Criticial Works
on Art-History (beginning with Fergusson, 1835-45) including the
prestigious MARG volumes; and
-
Professor R
Nath’s own works, viz. 65 books, 13 monographs, 190 Research
Papers, 300 popular articles and 51 selected reviews and
rejoinders (and his numerous unpublished manuscripts), which
constitute a solid bedrock for the study of this subject.
We are now
planning to expand this library to the Institutional level to
provide complete references in this discipline.
Persian Inscriptions of Mughal Architecture
We have collected Persian Inscriptions of Mughal Architecture.
Their Persian texts are given in Naskhi or Nastaliq as they are,
along with standard English translations. Their site-wise sets are
under preparation.
