Dor Fortress

Christianity thrives in India's Muslim hotspot: Central Methodist Church, Aligarh

Central Methodist church is located at Bannadevi, Aligarh.

Aligarh is a District of Uttar Pradesh, India. The city is located about 90 miles (140 km) southeast of New Delhi.

Aligarh was known by the earlier name of Kol or Koil before the 18th century. The name Kol covered not only the city but the entire district, though its geographical limits kept changing from time to time. The origin of the name is obscure. In some ancient texts, Kol has been referred to in the sense of a tribe or caste, name of a place or mountain and name of a sage or demon. From the study of the place-names of the district, it appears that the district was once fairly well covered by forest, thickets and groves. The early history of the district, through the 12th century AD is obscure. According to Edwin T. Atkinson, the name Kol was given to the city by Balarama, who slew here the great Asura (demon) Kol and with the assistance of the Ahirs subdued this part of the Doab. In another account, Atkinson points out a legend that Kol was founded by the Dor tribe of Rajputs in 372 AD. This could be further confirmed by an old fort, the Dor fortress, now in ruins, which lies at the city's centre.

Some time before the Muslim invasion, Kol was held by the Dor Rajputs and in the time of Mahmud of Ghazni the chief of the Dors was Hardatta of Baran. There is reason to believe that Kol was once the seat of a Buddhist community as statues of Buddha and other Buddhist remains have been found in excavations made in the eminence on which the citadel of Koil stood. It also had Hindu remains indicating that in all probability the citadel contained in succession a Buddhist and a Hindu temple.

In 1194 AD, Qutb-ud-din Aybak marched from Delhi to Koil which was one of the most celebrated fortresses of Hind. Qutb-ud-din Aybak appointed Hisam-ud-din Ulbak as the first Muslim governor of Koil.

Koil is also mentioned in Ibn Battuta's Rihla, when Ibn Battuta along with 15 ambassadors representing Ukhaantu Khan, the Mongol Emperor of the Yuan dynasty in China, traveled to Koil city en route to the coast at Cambay (in Gujarat) in 1341. According to Ibn Battuta, it would appear that the district was then in a very disturbed state since the escort of the Emperor's embassy had to assist in relieving Jalali from an attacking body of Hindus and lost one of their officers in the fight. Ibn Batuta calls Koil a fine town surrounded by mango groves.

In the footsteps of Ibn Battuta – The City of Aligarh
على خطى ابن بطوطة - مدينة عليكرة
Aligarh was formerly known as the city of Koil (Kol) and was founded in as early as the 2nd century. It became a fortress and was held by the Dor Rajputs before Muhammad Ghori invaded India. There are two interesting legends about how the city got its original name. As per one legend, the city got its name from one Koshrab who was a kshatriya of the Lunar race of Dor Rajputs, while as per the other legend the name was given by Balrama who slew a demon called Kol at that location.

بتاريخ السابع عشر من شهر صفر سنة 743 هـ الموافق 22 يوليه 1342م أمر السلطان محمد بن تغلق سلطان المسلمين في الهند بأن يخرج ابن بطوطة على رأس قافلة كبيرة محملة بالنفائس إلى ملك الصين رداً على هديته...واختار لقيادتها الأمير ظهير الدين الزّنجاني وجعل الفتى كافور الساقي أميناً على الهدايا.. وفي الطريق سمع ابن بطوطة أن نحو ألف فارس وثلاثة آلاف راجل من الكفار قد حاصروا بلدة الجلالي في أليجار، فقرر التوجه إليها لمساعدة أهلها المحاصرين فوجئ الكفار بالحملة تنقض عليهم وتمكن ابن بطوطة ومن معه من قتلهم والاستيلاء على خيلهم وأسلحتهم، وسقط من أصحابه ثلاثة وعشرون فارسا وخمسة وخمسون راجلا، واستشهد الفتى كافور الساقي أمين الهدية فكتب إلى السلطان بخبره، وأقاموا في انتظار الجواب... ... وفي بعض تلك الأيام دخل ابن بطوطة بستانا يقيل فيه اتقاء الحر، فسمع صوت غارة من الكفار فأتبعهم، فتفرقوا، وتفرق

: Agra Fort, is a monument, (Hindi: आगरा का किला, Urdu: آگرہ قلعہ) a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is about 2.5 km northwest of its more famous sister monument, the Taj Mahal. The fort can be more accurately described as a walled city. After the First Battle of Panipat, in 1526 Mughals captured the fort and a vast treasure - which included a diamond later known as the Koh-i-Noor diamond - was seized. Babur stayed in the fort in the palace of Ibrahim and built a baoli (step well) in it. The emperorHumayun was crowned here in 1530. He was defeated in Bilgram in 1540. Sher Shah and his descendants held the fort for fifteen years. In 1555, Humanyun recaptured it for some time when the Hindu king 'Hem Chandra Vikramaditya' defeated his army and captured the fort. Akbar defeated the Hindu King Hem chanda finally at the Second Battle of Panipat in 1556: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agra_Fort

Agra ; Hindi: आगरा, Urdu: آگرہ), the former capital of Hindustan[citation needed], is a city on the banks of the river Yamuna in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, India, 363 kilometres (226 mi) west of state capital, Lucknow and 200 kilometres (124 mi) south of the national capital New Delhi. With a population of 1,686,976 (2010 est.), it is one of the most populous cities in Uttar Pradesh and the 19th most populous in India.[1] Because 80 percent of the city's sewage flows into Yamuna River, it is 20th most polluted city in India.[2] Agra can also refer to the administrative district that has its headquarters in Agra city.
The city finds mention in the epic Mahābhārata where it was called Agrevaṇa, or 'the border of the forest'.[3] Legend ascribes the founding of the city to Raja Badal Singh, a Sikarwar Rajput king (circa 1475), whose fort, Badalgarh, stood on or near the site of the present Fort. However, the 11th century Persian poet Mas'ūd Sa'd Salmān writes of a desperate assault on the fortress of Agra, then held by the Shāhī King Jayapala, by Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni.[4] Sultan Sikandar Lodī was the first to move his capital from Delhi to Agra in the year 1506; he died in 1517 and his son Ibrāhīm Lodī remained in power there for nine more years, finally being defeated at the Battle of Panipat in 1526.[5] Between 1540 to 1556, Afghans beginning with Sher Shah Suri to Hindu King Hem Chandra Vikramaditya, also called Hemu, ruled the area. It achieved fame as the capital of the Mughal emperors from 1556 to 1658. Later in 18th century it came under Jat rule. It is a major tourist destination because of its many splendid Mughal-era buildings, most notably the Tāj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpūr Sikrī, all three of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agra

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
