U.P. History Congress, since its inception, is engaged in promoting the writing of secular and scientific history of India. The history of this vast country can e written only when the micro studies are available for analysis and synthesis of data in broader framework. It is also necessary that data collected on the regional basis should be interpreted at a national level. Regarding this purpose the organisation holds its annual session and publishes its proceedings. The Present Volume has come out of the deliberations held during the 27th session of U.P. History Congress held at MJP Rohilkhand University, Bareilly on 6th -7th November 2016. This Volume tries to highlight some aspect of the history of northern India with special reference to Modern Uttar Pradesh. Through this Volume we have tried to provide an avenue to a large number of scholars who are working on multiarious aspects of the history of the regionand are mainly based as the various institutions of northern India. We feel satisfied that the U.P. HistoryCongress has been able to attract a number of scholars with some data from local repositories and private collections all over the state. They have also tried to relate this data to there respective areas of research. The regular publication of the selected papers presented at the annual session of UPHC in the form of a Volume regularly has been a source of strength for our organization.
