The History of Avadh is not so old. Take the case of Lucknow, its rapid growth started from 1775 when Asif-ud-daula shifted his capital from Faizabad to Lucknow and continued till 1856, when Avadh annexed to the territories of East India company’s rule. During the shorter span of 80 years, rapid changes took place in the political arena but the basic doctrine of the rulers prevailed-the religious harmony and Integrated Culture. First International Conference has been organized by HARCA, a Non-Government Organization, on November, 15,16,1998 at Lucknow on the same subject. The papers presented by learned historians and paras recommended by justice haider Abbas Raza (now Lokayaukta Uttaranchal) and the social activists like Prof. Roop Rekha Verma Ex-vice Chancellor of Lucknow University, Dr. Ajay Shanker, Director General ASI, have been included in this book. thirty seven Papers were presented in the conference including five in Urdu Language. After discussion with the experts 23 papers were chosen including two in Urdu.

HARCA-The Historical and Archaeological Research and conservation Agency has started a series of Seminars, and workshops for crating awareness in the public for real understanding of the culture and solution to the problems of conservation of heritage buildings.
