NCP chief Sharad Pawar released a e book, Forts and Palaces in India: Encyclopedia of 4000+ Forts and Palaces throughout India, within the metropolis on Friday. The 780-page e book, based mostly on the notes, observations and images of scholar late Pramod Mande, has been co-authored by Aniket Ankush Yadav and Chetan Gajanan Ghadge.
The e book accommodates data on 4,088 forts in 26 States, six Union Territories and 521 districts. There are 1,282 colored images and 33 maps with data on latitude, longitude and top from sea degree, together with its distance and course from district headquarters, present state of the fort, constructions, its temporary historical past, in addition to well-known locations close to the fort, within the e book.
Information about forts in additional than 43 historical texts like Rigveda, Manusmriti, Puranas, Ramayana, Mahabharata and Arthashastra can also be half of the e book.
Sharad Pawar stated, “Forts have a very high importance in India’s history. History of any region or rule of India cannot be written without mentioning forts. Forts and historical places have been built in different regions based on the geographical conditions there. Once the centre of power and art, forts are now going into oblivion. Because of lack of protection and conservation, the condition of many historical places is poor. Everyone must consider them as invaluable wealth to the nation and preserve them.”
