	Iron Technology and Its Legacy in India
		Recent publications on iron technology are, Metallurgy in India: A Retrospective (P. Ram Chandra Rao and N.G. Goswami (eds.), N.M.L. Delhi 2001) D.P. Agrawal's 'Ancient Metal Technology and Archaeology of South Asia (Delhi, 2000) and the 'The Age of Iron in South Asia: Legacy and Tradition' by this author, (Vibha Tripathi, Delhi, 2001).
		Equally intriguing are the large beams at the Sun temple at Konark dated to 9th -10th century and iron pillar at Dhar in central India.
		This proves beyond doubt that iron was being imported from India by 19th century Britain for crucially important purposes because of its superiority -a fact that has rarely been brought to the notice in the publications on the subject.

		In brief, reduction of iron ore by charcoal provides, in general, a more sulfur-free material than does iron ore reduced by the more modern "methods involving coal," leading to a more corrosion-resistant product.

		Iltutmish's erection of the iron pillar in a mosque constructed in the wake of the Muslim conquest using an abundance of temple spolia has usually been assumed to reflect its value as a trophy, and its consequent ability to memorialize "Muslim victory" over the conquered Hindu population of Delhi.
		There is nothing to suggest that the iron pillar was seized during one of Iltutmish's military campaigns, and it is unmentioned in contemporary sources, which are quite clear in associating the installation of looted icons in the Delhi mosque with the theme of imperial victory.
		Thus the iron pillar in Delhi is often referred to as the "Hindu" iron pillar, an object in direct opposition to the adjacent "Islamic" minaret, ignoring the fact that the terms stambha (pillar) and minar (minaret) were used interchangeably to refer to the same objects by medieval Indians, Hindu and Muslim.

		Mystery of Delhi's Iron Pillar unraveled Press Trust Of India Thursday, July 18, 2002 New Delhi, July 18: Experts at the Indian Instituteof Technology have resolved the mystery behind the 1,600-year-old iron pillar in Delhi, which has never corroded despite the capital's harsh weather.
		Metallurgists at Kanpur IIT have discovered that a thin layer of "misawite", a compound of iron, oxygen and hydrogen, has protected the cast iron pillar from rust.
		The protective film took form within three years after erection of the pillar and has been growing ever so slowly since then.

		The Delhi iron pillar is testimony to the high level of skill achieved by ancient Indian iron smiths in the extraction and processing of iron.
		The iron pillar at Delhi has attracted the attention of archaeologists and corrosion technologists as it has withstood corrosion for the last 1600 years.
		Stating that the pillar is "a living testimony to the skill of metallurgists of ancient India", Balasubramaniam said the "kinetic scheme" that his group developed for predicting growth of the protective film may be useful for modeling long-term corrosion behaviour of containers for nuclear storage applications

		The Delhi iron pillar is testimony to the high level of skill achieved by ancient Indian iron smiths in the extraction and processing of iron.
		The high phosphorous content is a result of the unique iron-making process practiced by ancient Indians, who reduced iron ore into steel in one step by mixing it with charcoal.
		In a report published in the journal Current Science Balasubramanian says, the protective film was formed catalytically by the presence of high amounts of phosphorous in the iron—as much as one per cent against less than 0.05 per cent in today's iron.

		In the courtyard of the Qutb Minar, the largest mosque of Delhi, India, stands an iron pillar confiscated from a demolished Hindu temple.
		Called the Ashoka Pillar, we know it to be at least 15 centuries old, because it contains an inscription from the Indian king Chandragupta II, who died in 413 A.D. It is more than 23 feet tall, sixteen inches wide, and weighs six tons, so casting it was a major task in itself.
		What is more amazing, although it has been outdoors, exposed to the monsoon climate of north India, for centuries, it shows only a few traces of rust, in a tropical environment that would have corroded any other piece of iron long ago.

		This was why, supposedly, the minar was constructed out of the shattered remains of 27 other temples, why the masjid and madrassa were attached to the court premises, and, most curiously, why the iron Ashoka Pillar stood in the shadow of the minar.
		Of course, it does seem to have been historically the case that, when Qutb-ud-din Aibak declared himself the Sultan of Delhi, his haste to open Islamic institutions all across the major cities of north India did precipitate some rushed building projects which did in fact involve some temple destruction.
		On February 20, 2005, during a week in which I was to attend, as a visiting scholar, a conference at Delhi University, I decided to take a tour with a local travel agency (Ashoka Travels run by ITDC a Government of India Enterprise) to see the sites of Indiaâs capital.
