Madhya Pradesh

Myths, Legends and History

Madhya Pradesh occupies perhaps the oldest part of the subcontinent – called the Gondwana – the home of the Gonds. Close to Bhopal at Bhimbetka are the prehistoric caves that preserve some fascinating paintings dating back to paleolithic times. Experts have concluded that these are at least as old as the specimen at Pyrnees. This was perhaps one of the earliest dwellings of human beings. In fact, the excavations here have revealed a cultural sequence right from the late stone age to the early historical period. Madhya Pradesh is the richest state in the country in respect of painted rock-shelters, the majority of which have been found in the districts of Sehore, Bhopal, Raisen, Hoshangabad and Sagar.

During the ascendency of the Guptas, the whole region came under the domain of the imperial Guptas and subsequently formed a part of of Harshavardhan’s empire. With the decline in imperial power, the province was broken up into small principalities contending forever to establish their supremacy over one another. Chandelas were one such dynasty claiming descent from the moon, who carved out a strong prosperous kingdom for themselves after the decline of the great empire. There was a short spell of inspired construction activity under the Chandela in the 10th to 11th centuries. They are the ones who have left behind the cluster of matchless temples at Khajuraho, now a World Heritage Site.
Chandelas were followed by Pratihara and Gaharwar Rajput dynasties claiming mythical origins relating their scions to the gods or heroes in the epics.

Independence of India in 1947 was followed by the merger of hundreds of princely states into the union and the Indian Republic was born on 26th January 1950. Soon afterwards the boundaries were rationalized with re – organization of the States with Madhya Pradesh becoming the largest one, covering a total area of 4,43,406 sq. kms. until 1st November 2000 when the new State of Chhattisgarh with a total area of 71,35,224 sq. km. was carved out of it.

Introduction

To the west and south lies Malwa whose historical roots are traced back to antiquity to the Malwa homeland mentioned in ancient Buddhist literature. Ujjain, Indore and Mandu fall in this region. The present Malwa, particularly its eastern and south-eastern parts became culturally and economically more affluent than the other parts of Madhya Pradesh because of its connection with the north-western main route along which developed historically famous towns of Ahar, Kalibanga and Harrapa. Malwa was also joined with the Arabian Sea coast. Further, Ujjaini, Mahismati and Vidisha had links with Kausambi and Pataliputra through a north-eastern main route.

To the east is Baghelkhand which merges into the trijunction of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh. Jabalpur and Rewa are the better known centres of population in this region.
