Balban's Tomb in Delhi's Mehrauli Archaeological Park

Balban's Tomb, Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Delhi

Mehrauli Archaeological Park in Delhi is home to the tomb of Ghayasuddin Balban (1200-1287), the last major ruler of the Salve Dynsaty (also known as Mamluk dynasty), the first of the five Muslim dynasties, known as Delhi Sultanate which ruled from 1206 to 1526. 

Balban ascended the throne in 1266 and ruled till 1287. After an iron rule of about twenty-two years, Balban died in 1287. Today his tomb betrays no hint of Balban's fame as one of the most powerful rulers of medieval India. 

Adjacent to the Balban’s tomb lies the grave of his son Muhammad Khan who had died fighting against the Mongols under their leader Tamar near Multan in 1285. Muhammad Khan was appointed governor of Multan. After his death he was given the title of Shahid, "the Martyr" and came to be known as Khan-i-Shahid, (the Martyr Prince).

Balban's tomb was renovated last year.  

Sati Burj

 

Sati Burj Mathura

Sati Burj  is a 17m high four-storey sandstone tower built in 1570 by Raja Bhagwan Das, the son of Jaipur ruler Behari Mal, to commemorate his mother’s sati (self-immolation on her husband’s funeral pyre). Mariam-uz-Zamani, sister of Bhagwan Das, was the chief consort of Mughal emperor Akbar and mother of Jahangir, the fourth Mughal emperor.

In ancient India the custom of Sati was condemned by Banabhatta, also known as Bana, was the court-poet of Harsha.

During the Vijayanagar period, the Sati or Sahagaman was performed only by women belonging to higher strata of the society. 

in 1821 Raja Ram Mohan had launched a Bengali weekly newspaper Sambad Kaumudi or “The Moon of the Intelligence” through which he started a campaign for the abolition of Sati. 

The Bengal Sati Regulation which banned the Sati (suttee) practice in all jurisdictions of British India was passed on December 4, 1829 by the then Governor Genral of Fort Willim (Bengal) Lord William Bentinck who later became the India’s first governor general.
