Chittorgarh Fort is one of the largest forts in India. It is a World Heritage Site. The fort, popularly known as Chittor, was the capital of Mewar and is today situated in Chittorgarh. It was initially ruled by Guhilot and later by Sisodias, until it was finally abandoned in 1568 after the siege by Emperor Akbar in 1567. It sprawls majestically over a hill 180 m (590.6 ft) in height spread over an area of 280 ha (691.9 acres) above the plains of the valley drained by the Berach River. The fort precinct with an evocative history is studded with a series of historical palaces, gates, temples and two prominent commemoration towers. These monumental ruins have inspired the imagination of tourists and writers for centuries.
Chittorgarh Fort is stated that the fort was constructed by the Mauryans during the 7th century AD and hence derives its name after the Mauryan ruler, Chitrangada Mori, as inscribed on coins of the period. Historical records show Chittorgarh fort as the capital of Mewar for 834 years. It was established in 734 AD by Bappa Rawal, founder ruler in the hierarchy of the Sisodia rulers of Mewar. The fort was looted and destroyed at the hands of Emperor Akbar in 1568 AD and subsequently never resettled but only refurbished in 1905 AD. Three important battles were fought for control of the fort; in 1303, Ala-ud-din Khilji besieged the fort; in 1535, Sultan of Gujarat Bahadur Shah besieged the fort; and in 1567,Mughal Emperor Akbar attacked the fort.
Chittor is cited in the Mahabharat epic. It is said that Bhima, the second of the Pandava brothers of Mahabaharata known for his mighty strength gave a powerful hit with his fist to the ground that resulted in water springing up to form a large reservoir. It is called Bhimlat kund, an artificial tank named after Bhima. Folk legend also mentions that Bhima started building the fort.
ALUMNI
We used to play hide and seek when the last
block was under construction. In the year 2002, when we were in 8th std and 1
day before the annual function, the lead actor for the Lead drama of the
function backed out and absconded. I was given the responsibility to take the
lead role and learn all the dialogues in 1 day and executive in the
main event. It was done successfully and better than the original one.
Participating in the High school
March past and singing competitions for Republic day/Independence day was
always fun, and winning it was even more exciting. We used to request our teachers to teach in the
open ground sometimes, it used to feel like a little picnic with studies and
lot more. All these memories will always
remain in my heart which I can never forget. I am thankful to all those who
shaped me in The Fabindia School.

Gandhi Jayanti
 |
| -By Tanoj Sompura |
Gandhi Jayanti is a National festival in India. It is observed on 2nd of October every year. Mahatma Gandhi was born on 2nd October 1869 in Porbandar. His father’s name was Mohandas Karamchand. His mother’s name was Putli bai. He writes his father’s name in front of his name, that's why his full name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. He is also known as Father of the Nation. He started Savinay Avagya Aandolan, in which he told all his citizens that whoever works under British rule, under Britishers factory and who wears clothes made by Britishers, we should stop to taking help from them. He started another law in 1930. He lead Dandi March to break the salt law. According to this law, the state had a monopoly on the manufacture and sale of salt. He told that we should fight for our salt that was the property of both poor and rich. It is such an essential item of our food. Mahatma Gandhi along with other nationalists reasoned that was sinful to tax salt. He and his followers marched for over 240 miles from Sabarmati to the coastal town of Dandhi where they broke the government law by gathering natural salt found on the seashore, and boiling sea water to produce salt. Mahatma Gandhi fought on the path of non-violence and gave freedom to the country. He was a great freedom fighter for our country. -Diksha Choudhary/VIII/GH
