Soft cover. Zustand: New. Zafar and the Raj is a study of the formative phase of the history of colonial Delhi, a phase that from its duality, social and political, may be referred to as Anglo-Mughal. From 1803 onwards there were two centres of authority in the imperial city: the Residency and the Palace. The competing influence of the Palace determined the manner in which colonial authority was established in Delhiand marked the limits of this authority. Simultaneously, the association of the Mughal emperor's name with Delhi, combined with the participation in fin-de-siècle Mughal court ritual by the East India Company's officials, was to shape the colonial perception of Delhi as the premier imperial city of the subcontinent. The information available in the colonial archive about emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar (1775-1862; r. 1837-57), and his two immediate predecessors, is used to reconstruct the history of the city in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, focussing on the period c. 1803-1857. This book is also a political biography of Zafar. It aims to present the story of his life not, as is typical, from the perspective of the revolt of 1857, but in terms of Zafar as a prominent local aristocratic figure who was part of the Urdu-speaking urban elite of the first half of the nineteenth century. The ways in which his life, coping as it was with the Raj, intersected with that of several figures that belonged to this class, tells us much about India's encounter with colonialism. In the process, we get to know something about the intertwined destinies of, among others, Akbar Shah, Azurda, Chiman Lal, Ghalib, Rammohun Roy, Shamsuddin, Vazir Khanam and, of course, Zafar.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. British ascendancy in the world was preceded by over two centuries of colonial intervention in Asia during the course of which the strength and independence of sovereign nations and polities in the region were underminedtheir economies subjugated, their military strength weakened, and their societies penetrated. In The Colonial Subjugation of India, eminent historian Amar Farooqui tells the story of the formation of the British empire in India and presents a minutely detailed narrative of the violence inflicted on the people of this part of the world to conquer it and the instruments of coercion that were put in place to rule over it. Beginning with the arrival of Portuguese, Dutch, French, and, finally, British mercantile ships in the Indian Ocean throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, this book charts the course of Britain's rise as the dominant colonial power in the Indian subcontinent. It traces India's history of anti-colonial resistance starting with the Battle of Plassey in 1757 and explains how the country attained freedom through a long and sustained struggle extending over nearly two centuries; how the revolt of 1857 was an important moment in this struggle; and how the national liberation movement of the period between the 1920s and 1947 culminated in independence on 15 August 1947, representing the triumph of anti-colonial Indian nationalism over British imperialism. An important and groundbreaking study of a crucial period of modern Indian history, The Colonial Subjugation of India attempts to show that, no matter what traditional accounts of British colonialism and monarchy may state, empire was anything but benign.…

Sindias and the Raj is a study of the Sindia state of Gwalior during the colonial period It traces the history of one of the leading princely states of the British Indian empire from its first major military encounter with the British at the beginning of the century to the eve of the Revolt of 1857 In doing so the book explores the fascinating factional conflicts at the Gwalior durbar and the connections these had with the politics of the powerful Sindia army It argues that the colonial subjugation of Gwalior was a long-drawn process spread over nearly five decades and was not sufficiently achieved until the late 1850s certainly not in 1818 as is often assumed by standard histories of the state This resistance was largely due to the very strong tradition in the Gwalior territories of opposition to colonial intervention as seen in a series of popular uprisings during the first half of the century culminating in the events of 1857-8 The tradition was reinforced by the assertiveness vis-a-vis the East India Company of the dominant section of its ruling class which drew strength from a formidable fighting force comprising soldiers who upheld the legacy of the fierce turn-of-the-century Anglo-Maratha military conflict and which was sustained by a resilient economy that profited immensely from opium smuggling These are all linkages that have hitherto remained unexploredSindias and the Raj also examines the political economy of princely Gwalior while paying close attention to the responses of various classes in the state to colonial intervention responses ranging from outright collaboration to armed conflict It also attempts a reappraisal of several facets of the history of Malwa in the colonial period including the history of the Pindaris and the trade in Malwa opium 158 pp.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In April 1608, when a ship named Hector-belonging to the English East India Company-arrived on the shores of Surat in present-day Gujarat, no one foresaw how some of the merchants on board would go on to alter the course of history in India. From the moment of its docking to the Revolt of 1857, a succession of its eminent passengers helped transform the Company from a trading collective to a colonizing juggernaut. In Governors of Empire, historian Amar Farooqui traces the journeys each of these men undertook, from arriving on Indian shores, through acquiring territories using equal parts trade agreements and political deceit, all the way to returning to Britain considerably wealthier than before. Beginning with Robert Clive, the self-proclaimed hero of the British imperial project who played a pivotal role in the annexation of Bengal, the book follows several important governors whose actions ultimately delivered India into the hands of the Crown. After Clive came Warren Hastings, who began his tenure as governor of Bengal and settled down to govern both Bengal and Bihar. His 'rule' was followed by the regime of Charles Cornwallis, often portrayed as the golden age of British rule in India-a claim supported by colonially-sponsored historiography alone. After him, lesser-known figures like John Shore and Robert Hobart were followed by Richard Wellesley, under whom the system of 'subsidiary alliances' became a regular feature of the Company's expansionist policy in India. Lord Moira came next, and demolished the peshwai, destroying the rule of the Marathas in western India. William Bentinck's governor-generalship then marked an interlude before a violent phase of large-scale warfare that completed the Company's conquest of the subcontinent. Lord Dalhousie, who followed Bentinck, played a key role in the annexation of Punjab and Awadh, expanding the Company's frontiers to cover swathes of northern India. He was succeeded by Charles Canning, the last governorgeneral to be appointed by the Company, and John Lawrence, the last of the Company's old timers to rule over the Indian empire (he was crucial to the recapture of Delhi after the Revolt of 1857). Through rigorously drawn portraits of the Company's key functionaries, Governors of Empire brings to vivid life the story of the East India Company's conquest of India through the lives and deeds of its governors.…

Pushing the Boundaries of South Asian History is a tribute to Professor Dwijendra Narayan Jha's skill and craftsmanship as a historian. He was an outstanding scholar, who constantly reinvented himself and kept abreast of changes in historical perspectives and methodology. In this volume, a wide range of historians, whose works have made significant contributions to the understanding of South Asian history, have come together to pay homage to him through their work; in doing so they attempt to redefine the existing spatial, chronological and conceptual boundaries relating to the history of the region. The chapters herein, organized into four sections, focus on new aspects of South Asian history, drawing attention to liminal areas, filling intermittent spaces, and retrieving histories that sometimes slip through the gaps created by chronological boundaries of ancient versus early medieval, medieval vis-à-vis the modern. This demonstrates the fluid and nebulous nature of 'boundaries' and how 'connected' histories are. It also showcases the deeply entangled and intersecting layers of past societies and the new ways through which historians can attempt to retrieve the past. In doing so, this volume pushes at the boundaries of our existing knowledge of Indian history and underlines the dynamic nature of history as a discipline.…
