Hardcover. Zustand: New. This volume of essays is based on an international conference jointly hosted by the Centre for Historical Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, and by the Embassy of Ireland in India to mark 2 November 1920, the centenary of the execution in Dagshai Prison at Solon in the Punjab of Private James Daly of the 2nd Battalion, Connaught Rangers. James Daly, a twenty-one year old private soldier from Tyrrellspass, County Westmeath, had served in the Great War before re-enlisting in the Connaught Rangers in 1919. Thirteen other soldiers of his battalion who had played prominent parts in the mutiny at Jullundur and Solon were also sentenced to death by courts martial, but their sentences were commuted to imprisonment. Forty-eight other received jail sentences of varying length. All the imprisoned men were released from prison in Britain in January 1923.

Others have linked the mutiny to the wide matter of solidarity between the Irish and the Indian independence movements. The book enriches the understanding of Mutiny at the local, national and global levels.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. This book explores the politico-cultural imagination that formed the subtext of the reformist, nationalist and women's discourses on widowhood from the colonial period to the 1950s. It examines legislative debates on the relationship between sexuality, morality, property rights and widowhood, and explores the world of literate widows of the early twentieth century. It also traces the manner in which the complex connection between the nineteenth-century idea of widowhood and the concept of the anti-colonial Mother India of the 1920s transformed the notion of the ideal Hindu widow into a metaphor for a struggling/recovering nation in post-colonial India. This metaphor further evolved in independent India under Nehruvian socialism, where, uniquely combined with Gandhian moral reformism, it produced renewed and reformed cultural codes for widows in particular and for Indian women in general. …
