History

makvit [3.9K]3 years ago
6 0

Human zoos, also known as ethnological expositions, were public displays of people, usually in an erroneously labeled "natural" or "primitive" state. They were most prominent during the 19th and 20th century. These displays often emphasized the supposed inferiority of their culture, and superiority of 'Western society'. Throughout their existence they've garnered controversy over their demeaning, derogatory, and dehumanizing nature.They began as a part of circuses and 'freak shows' where they were displayed in a manner which exaggerated their differences akin to a caricature.They then developed into independent displays emphasizing their inferiority to western culture and further justification for their subjugation.These displays were part of multiple World's fairs and then transitioned into sections of animal zoos.From there, animal zoos would make up many of the controversies spanning to modern day, as human expositions were slowly diminishing in prominence after the Victorian era.

When did agra get freedom from mughal​

Answer:Agra (/ˈɑːɡrə/ (About this soundlisten)) is a city on the banks of the Yamuna river in the Agra district of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.[7] It is 206 kilometres (128 mi) south of the national capital New Delhi. Agra is the fourth-most populous city in Uttar Pradesh and 24th in India. [8]

The first documented history of the city begins with an 11th-century Persian poet Mas'ūd Sa'd Salmān writing of an assault on the fortress of Agra, then held by King Jaypal, by Mahmud of Ghazni, which resulted in a sacking despite Jaypal's surrender.[9] Sikandar Lodi was the first ruler of the Delhi Sultanate to move his capital from Delhi to Agra in 1504, and so he is regarded as being the founder of Agra. Sikandar Lodi's son, Ibrahim Lodi, was defeated at the Battle of Panipat in 1526 by Babur, which marked the beginning of Mughal Empire.[10]In a brief interruption in Mughal rule between 1540 and 1556, Sher Shah Suri, established the short lived Sur Empire. Agra was the capital of the Mughal Empire from 1556 to 1648, under the Mughal Emperors Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan, after which Shah Jahan shifted the capital to Delhi. The Mughal Empire saw the building of many monuments, especially Taj Mahal. The city was later taken by the Jats and then Marathas and later still fell to the British Raj.

Agra is a major tourist destination because of its many Mughal-era buildings, most notably the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri, all of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.[7] Agra is included on the Golden Triangle tourist circuit, along with Delhi and Jaipur; and the Uttar Pradesh Heritage Arc, a tourist circuit of Uttar Pradesh, along with Lucknow and Varanasi. Agra is in the Braj cultural region.
