Maratha Military Landscape: UNESCO World Heritage Status Timely Reminder Of India's Strategic Brilliance
The UNESCO recognition is a tribute to the most valorous warriors and brilliant strategic minds of Bharat, whose courage and ingenuity will continue to inspire generations At its 47th Meeting, the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO inscribed the Maratha Military Landscape as a World Heritage Site. A network of twelve forts built across Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, the Maratha Military Landscape offers a unique vantage point for understanding the brilliant planning and governance that hallmarked the Maratha rule. At a time when India is being recognised for its resilience and innovation in the defence sector, this inscription also comes as a reminder of the tradition of ingenuity in defence and strategic foresight that shaped the course of Indian history in profound ways. Army veteran and author of two award-winning books on Maratha military history, Maj Gen Shashikant Pitre, calls this international recognition a 'tribute to the will power and conviction of an extraordinary military icon, Chhatrapati Shivaji, after about four centuries". Constructed between the 17th and 19th centuries, twelve forts are collectively known as the Maratha Military Landscape and stand as an enduring legacy of the Maratha heritage. At its peak, the Maratha empire spanned from Tamil Nadu in the south to Peshawar in the north and Odisha in the east. Ensuring the protection of this vast territory was of paramount importance. 'The empire was originally defended by approximately 300 forts with very meagre contingents in each," informs Maj Gen Pitre. 'Shivaji Maharaj constructed a few others to weave a strong defence network. As a consequence, Aurangzeb, who spent the last twenty-five years of his life in the Deccan with his humongous forces, could not defeat the agile Marathas." allowed greater control over the maritime trade network, thus ensuring economic prosperity. Lohagad, categorised as a hill fort, served as a treasury where caves were converted into storage units. Khanderi, an island fort, allowed coastal surveillance and monitoring of European naval fleets. These twelve forts exemplify the highest levels of local adaptation and innovation in India's fortification tradition. They protected not only military and geopolitical interests but also the economic lifelines of the era. They are also the custodians of stories of the brave Marathas that have inspired generations. The Pratapgadh fort was witness to the legendary encounter between Shivaji and Afzal Khan, the general of the Bijapur Sultanate. Raigad served as the administrative capital of the Marathas, where Shivaji and his successors were coronated as well. Vijayadurg reflects the indomitable spirit of the Marathas as it successfully withstood multiple attacks by the European powers until its eventual fall in the Third Anglo-Maratha War. These forts chronicle the Marathas' resistance to invaders and their unwavering commitment to Swaraj. As some of the most well-preserved and authentic architectural remnants, the Maratha Military Landscape represents the largest such concentration integrated within a cultural landscape, noted a report presented to UNESCO. These forts continue to retain their strategic importance even today. 'Shivaji was the master of hill warfare. 'Ganimi Kawa', a tactic of subterfuge for a weaker force to defeat a much stronger enemy, is his gift to military warfare. Both Shivaji and Bajirao Peshwa fought with meagre forces and negligible resources, deploying ingenious tactics and superior strategy to achieve miraculous results. Though the ecosystems of combat have undergone phenomenal transformations, the Maratha military legacy is a beacon for Atmanirbharta in the present times," says Maj Gen Pitre. The UNESCO recognition indeed comes at an opportune moment, as India's indigenous defence capabilities and systems are once again gaining global attention and opening avenues for greater international cooperation. The inscription of the Maratha Military Landscape is a reminder of our military heritage, geopolitical dominance, and effective governance that can offer incredible learning to policymakers even today. More importantly, it is a tribute to the most valorous warriors and brilliant strategic minds of Bharat, whose courage and ingenuity will continue to inspire generations.

Heritage Hijacked: When Luxury Labels Overlook Our Origins, India Should Walk Away
Step into any global luxury store today—from Paris to Las Vegas to Hawaii—and you are likely to find a quiet but unmistakable presence shaping its future: the discerning Indian consumer. No longer on the periphery, Indians are now at the heart of the luxury equation, driving demand not just with spending power, but with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, heritage, and prestige. India's influence in the luxury market is more visible than ever—whether it's at the world's only open-air designer shopping mall in Hawaii or the ultra-fine dining experience at Louis Vuitton's Gaggan in Bangkok. The era of the Indian window shopper is a thing of the past. In 2023, India's domestic luxury market stood at roughly $17 billion, with projections to triple by 2030. Yet, when international brands borrow from India's cultural treasure troves without acknowledging their source, the admiration of Indian buyers can turn to indignation—and even boycott.

173km, 45 hours, zero sleep: How Bengaluru woman conquered tough Japan trail race
Bengaluru: Battling through snow patches, rugged mountains, and 45 hours of non-stop running, Ashwini Ganapathi, a 39-year-old endurance athlete and coach from Karnataka, achieved a rare feat by finishing the Deep Japan Ultra 100, one of Asia's most demanding trail races. The ultra-endurance event, which began on June 27, saw 135 runners at the start line, including eight international participants. Only 63 managed to finish, and Ashwini stood out as the only non-Japanese athlete — across both men and women — to complete the 173km course, which also involved a punishing 9,000-metre elevation gain, higher than Mount Everest. She was the 10th woman overall to cross the finish line. "I completed the race in 45 hours and 42 minutes, carrying over 6kg of mandatory safety gear, plus food and water that brought my pack weight up to 8kg. As a vegetarian in Japan, I couldn't depend on local aid stations, so I carried everything I needed for the entire race. The dropout rate was huge — 72 runners did not finish — which shows just how brutal the course was," Ashwini shared.

"There were snow patches on one summit that we had to cross three times, and several sections were so steep we needed ropes and chains to climb or descend," she said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 먹으면서 똥뱃살 뺀다? 체지방,콜레스테롤 골라 녹이는 '이것' 화제! 한의사 다이어트 더 알아보기 Undo The weather added to the challenge, swinging from humid and cloudy conditions on day one to blazing 33°C heat the next. There were no camps or sleep breaks — just aid stations sometimes spaced 28km apart, unlike the 10km intervals common in Indian trail races. "I didn't sleep for two nights. I tried for five minutes in a nap room, but I just couldn't. We were on our feet the whole time," said Ashwini, who was funded by Tekion, an automotive retail tech company under its 'Tekion for Good' CSR initiative. Full-time focus on fitness Ashwini is a full-time running coach. A former IT professional, she quit her corporate career after nine years to pursue fitness full-time. "I was athletic all my life — I played field hockey in school — but realised I was better at endurance than speed. While others focused on minutes, I wanted to see how far I could go. That's how I got into ultrarunning." Her passion for endurance races dates back to 2019, during the Malnad Ultra (110km) in Karnataka. "I still had energy after running 100km. That's when I started dreaming about doing a 100-miler," she said. In preparation for Japan, Ashwini trained extensively. "I was already preparing for a 100-miler in the US earlier this year. My weekly routine involved 70-90km of running, strength training at Invictus Performance Lab, and long weekend runs across different terrain. The team helped me work on uneven surfaces, muscle control, and injury prevention," she explained. One of her biggest mental boosts came during a training event — the Backyard Ultra — where runners completed 6.7km every hour until only one remained. Ashwini clocked 28 hours and 187.8km, setting an Indian women's record. "It helped me mentally prepare for Japan — how to manage fuel, push through fatigue, and stay calm under pressure." According to Ashwini, her family was her biggest support system. "My husband and in-laws were incredibly supportive throughout this journey. My mother-in-law manages things at home when I'm away training or racing. It's been 14 years since I got married, and their encouragement means the world to me." "With this accomplishment, I hope more women feel inspired to prioritise their health and take care of themselves. It's my wish to see more of us on the trails and in ultrarunning — because women are born with an unlimited supply of endurance. It's just about discovering our abilities," she added.
