  Reliance Group Reliance Commercial Corporation was set up in 1958 by   Dhirubhai Ambani   as a small venture firm trading commodities, especially spices and   polyester   yarn . Pursuing a strategy of   backward integration   and diversification, it opened its first textile mill in Naroda,   Gujarat   state, and was incorporated in 1966 as Reliance Textiles and Engineers, Ltd. Over the next decade its business focused on the textile industry even as it continued to expand. Seeking to raise financial capital through means more accessible than  India’s  nationalized banks, Reliance took advantage of the recent “Indianization” of the  stock market  and floated an  initial public offering  (IPO) in 1977. The IPO, which issued 2.8 million shares, was credited with engaging small investors in the stock market and  equity  shareholding. Thousands attended the Reliance annual general meetings, which were...

TOMB  Of  BIJRI KHAN The tomb belongs to the Lodi period. Nothing is known about Bijri Khan’ - this is a signboard right outside Bijri Khan’s Tomb. This tomb is one of those out-of-the-blue monuments that jumps suddenly into focus as you drive on the wide roads of South Delhi’s R.K. Puram in Sector 3. The story, no one knows as it hasn’t been recorded, but people believe that Bijri Khan was a nobleman during the Lodi Dynasty and that's pretty much it!  The Lofty Structure Bijri Khan’s tomb is a mausoleum, a structure enclosing the interment space or burial chamber of the dead. The structure is square in shape, built on a raised platform. It is said to belong to the Lodi period, because it has three arched entrances with doorways with brackets on architraves (doorframes). This style is typical of structures built during the time of the Lodi Dynasty. The dome is both massive and impressive and the colour of the mausoleum is light cream mixed with brown, perhaps made o...

Crazy Horse Memorial The unfinished Crazy Horse Memorial is being created on Thunderhead Mountain, a part of the Black Hills in South Dakota considered sacred by many Native Americans. A long winding road leads to the site, where suddenly there unfolds an extraordinary vista: a sculpture being carved from the side of a mountain.In 1939 Chief Henry Standing Bear wrote to the Polish sculptor  Korczak Ziolkowski  and asked if he would create a monument to honour the Native Americans. That request sparked what would become one of the largest and most controversial memorial projects. Ziolkowski’s vision, which his family has perpetuated, was for a sculpture of  Crazy Horse , the Lakota warrior who led his people during the Battle of the Little Bighorn (1876), where Colonel George Armstrong Custer and his men were massacred. Ziolkowski and members of the Lakota tribe chose the location of Thunderhead Mountain, but it is a controversial site, and many Lakota people are dee...

  There are many legendary monuments located in Delhi. Some are lesser known, decaying & neglected, whilst there are others that make you wonder why they are not so famous after all?! Bade and Chote Khan’s twin tombs in South Extension are of the latter kind. They are magnificent structures, colossal enough to get noticed, located in a prominent area and also in pretty good shape too, but still, hardly anyone knows about them! It is basically a complex of twin tombs somewhat like the Dadi Poti tombs located near HKV. They form part of one of the major components of the Kotla Mubarakpur complex, which includes several other lesser known tombs, mostly from the pre-Mughal era, belonging to various kings and noblemen of the notable Lodi and Sayyid dynasties. As of now, they are scattered around the congested lanes of Kotla Mubarakpur village as well as the posh streets of the neighbouring South Extension locality. Bade Khan Ka Gumbad Slightly bigger of the two tombs, it dates ...
