项目摘要

The Grand Trunk Road is a significant and historical highway which runs across the north of India, connecting Afghanistan to Calcutta. Although the exact route of the road has changed, its trajectory and purpose have remained constant: the transmission of knowledge, ideas, religion, tradition and innovation. Punjab is located at a crucial intersection on the road and has seen significant settlements from a range of communities including Jains, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Sufis and Sikhs. The area of The Grand Trunk Road in Punjab has been witness to a particularly dense contact of cultures which is especially evident in key clusters along the route. This project focusses on one important site along the Grand Trunk Road in a location of particular significance for Muslims and Sikhs. The Aam Khas Bagh is a Mughal Garden and Serai in Sirhind, Punjab which was constructed in the 1560s by Hafiz Sultan Muhammad Rakhna and was subsequently augmented by Jahangir and Shah Jahan. The gardens are located at a strategic point on The Grand Trunk Road, roughly equidistant between Lahore and Delhi which positioned Sirhind as a major settlement and hub for knowledge and commerce. The growing tension between the Tenth Sikh Guru and Muslims from the 1700s culminated in the execution of two of the Guru's sons in Sirhind. The town was subsequently sacked by the Sikhs with significant destruction across the settlement. Sirhind is now a twin town with Fatehgarh Sahib and is a predominantly Sikh area, with a significant proportion of the population being Pakistani Punjabi Sikhs who relocated after Partition. Despite the significant buildings and monuments ranging from the medieval period across Sirhind, there is minimum infrastructure for their protection and limited conservation, which is currently being addressed by CRCI. Particular points include: The lack of any legible signage at monuments of historical significance. A lack of local knowledge about historical and cultural narratives associated with the buildings, a phenomenon being described here as cultural amnesia.The lack of historical or contextual knowledge surrounding the monuments is largely attributable to the significant population change in the local area after Partition. The Aam Khas Bagh as the largest open space in Sirhind is a significant meeting point between the past and present as it remains a site that is frequently visited and explored. Although the site is a protected monument by the Archaeological Survey of India, there are very few measures to protect it from routine destruction and vandalism.By investigating ways of recontextualising the history of the gardens through installations and interactions with key stakeholders, this project aims to research the ways in which Sikh and Muslim heritage co-exists in post-Partition Punjab in India. The expertise of the group includes the PI with experience of project management who has published a monograph on sites of contested heritage and forms of cultural erasure, avisual anthropologist with extensive experience of fieldwork and a visual portfolio on Sirhind and an interactive and immersive designer who has developed a range of interactive devices around the themes of sustainability, as well as in the Aam Khas Bagh.

大干线公路是一条重要的历史性公路，贯穿印度北部，连接阿富汗和加尔各答。虽然道路的确切路线已经改变，但其轨迹和目的仍然不变：知识、思想、宗教、传统和创新的传播。旁遮普位于道路的一个关键十字路口，有来自耆那教、印度教、佛教、穆斯林、苏菲派和锡克教等一系列社区的重要定居点。旁遮普的大干线地区见证了特别密集的文化接触，这在沿着的关键集群中尤为明显。此项目集中于大干线沿着一处重要地点，该地点对穆斯林和锡克教徒特别重要。Aam Khas Bagh是一个莫卧儿花园和Serai在Sirhind，旁遮普这是建于16世纪60年代由哈菲兹苏丹穆罕默德Rakhna和随后由Jahangir和沙贾汗扩大。这些花园位于大干线上的一个战略要地，拉合尔和德里之间的距离大致相等，这使得锡尔欣德成为一个主要的定居点和知识和商业中心。第十世锡克教古鲁和穆斯林之间的紧张关系从18世纪开始不断加剧，最终导致古鲁的两个儿子在锡尔欣德被处决。该镇随后被锡克人洗劫，整个定居点遭到严重破坏。锡尔欣德现在是一个与法泰格尔萨希布的姐妹城，是一个以锡克教徒为主的地区，其中很大一部分人口是巴基斯坦旁遮普锡克教徒，他们在分治后搬迁。尽管锡尔欣德有许多中世纪时期的重要建筑物和纪念碑，但保护这些建筑物和纪念碑的基础设施很少，养护工作也有限，CRCI目前正在解决这一问题。特别要点包括：在具有历史意义的纪念碑上缺乏任何清晰的标志。缺乏当地对建筑物历史和文化的了解，这种现象在这里被称为文化健忘症。缺乏有关纪念碑的历史或背景知识主要是由于分治后当地人口的重大变化。Aam Khas Bagh是Sirhind最大的开放空间，是过去和现在之间的重要交汇点，因为它仍然是一个经常访问和探索的网站。虽然该遗址是印度考古调查局保护的纪念碑，但很少有措施保护它免受常规破坏和故意破坏。通过调查通过装置和与关键利益相关者的互动来重构花园历史的方法，该项目旨在研究锡克教徒和穆斯林遗产在印度后分区旁遮普共存的方式。该小组的专业知识包括具有项目管理经验的PI，他出版了一本关于有争议的遗产和文化擦除形式的专著，视觉人类学家，具有丰富的实地工作经验和Sirhind的视觉组合，以及一位互动和沉浸式设计师，他围绕可持续发展主题开发了一系列互动设备，以及在Aam Khas Bagh。
