Download or read book Cawnpore Lucknow written by Donald Richards and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2007-03-22 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the May 1857 uprising by sepoys in Meerut and Delhi, the whole future of the British Raj was in the balance. Nowhere was this better demonstrated than at Lucknow and Cawnpore. At the latter a garrison of 240 with 375 British women and children battled to survive a siege by 3,000 mutineers led by Nana Sahib. Unimaginable horrors of artillery and sniper fire coupled with the crippling heat of the Indian summer took their toll. An offer of safe passage was treacherously reneged on and the massacres which followed drew a terrible retribution when relief finally arrived, in the shape of Generals Havelock and Neil. At Lucknow, the 1800 British men, women and children supported by more than 1,000 loyal sepoys resisted assaults by 20,000 mutineers, despite heavy casualties and sickness. Sir Colin Campbell's force got through to relieve the garrison and evacuate civilians in November 1857 but the city was not restored to British control until March 1858. These dramatic events are brought to life in this first rate history.

Book excerpt: Vastly outnumbered, British soldiers and civilians were threatened with extermination in their most valued colonial possession. As the vaunted Victorian army began a counteroffensive, the key to final victory lay at Lucknow, where 3,000 British men, women and children were besieged by 30,000 Indian mutineers. For nine months fierce battles raged at Lucknow as British relief columns tried to fight their way through the city, often grappling with swords, bayonets and the butts of their rifles. On both sides, feats of heroism took place by the score until the largest British army ever assembled in India finally resolved the campaign.In They Fight Like Devils-a phrase that applies to both sides in the war-we see the military course and human consequences of close-quarters combat waged with bestial ferocity.

Download or read book The Indian Mutiny and the British Imagination written by Gautam Chakravarty and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-01-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gautam Chakravarty explores representations of the event which has become known in the British imagination as the 'Indian Mutiny' of 1857 in British popular fiction and historiography. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources including diaries, autobiographies and state papers, Chakravarty shows how narratives of the rebellion were inflected by the concerns of colonial policy and by the demands of imperial self-image. He goes on to discuss the wider context of British involvement in India from 1765 to the 1940s, and engages with constitutional debates, administrative measures, and the early nineteenth-century Anglo-Indian novel. Chakravarty approaches the mutiny from the perspectives of postcolonial theory as well as from historical and literary perspectives to show the extent to which the insurrection took hold of the popular imagination in both Britain and India. The book has a broad interdisciplinary appeal and will be of interest to scholars of English literature, British imperial history, modern Indian history and cultural studies.

Book excerpt: [Illustrated with over one hundred maps, photos and portraits, of the battles, individuals and places involved in the Indian Mutiny] Life for Katherine Mary Bartrum must have seemed to have been almost perfect in early 1857, wife of a well-liked and respected medical officer posted just outside Lucknow and with a new child in tow the many servants she had must have helped here enormously. However, her world was turned upside down by the Sepoy rebellion which was exploded in May 1857; living in perpetual fear that the revolt would reach them the slept with a sword and pistol under their pillows. Worse was to follow Mrs Bartrum was uprooted from her husband as the small military outpost that she lived on was deemed to be unsafe and she and her baby had to endure a horrible night march to the more well-defended Lucknow. Lucknow however proved to be a magnet for the murderous mutineers and they lay siege to the defended residency, the siege had begun in earnest. The conditions inside the ramparts steadily worsened, and Mrs Bartrum among many other was forced to endure appalling conditions as supplies ran out. The siege was lifted some months later and Mrs Bartrum looked forward to a reunion with her husband having managed to survive the awful privations of the cramped quarters she shared with 13 other women and their children. Then the heart-breaking news that her husband had been killed during the fighting arrived; leaving here alone in India with a small child with no resources to call upon. Somehow she managed to gain passage back to England, but the night before the journey home she was further shattered by the death of her child after months of stresses. Her heart-breaking memoir, partially diary entries and partially letters, is a dramatic and tragic tale of loss amid the ruins of the mutiny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of the Indian Mutiny: Stories of Heroic Deeds, Intrepidity, and Determination in the Face of Fearful Odds During the Great Mutiny Soon after Vasco da Gama had found the shores of Hindostan on May 17, 1498, Indian goods and curios began to enter Europe through the agency of the Portuguese and Venetians: but it was not until September 1599 that the merchants of London formed a trading association, and received a charter, which gave them exclusive trade with the countries east of the Cape of Good Hope. The first vessels returned laden with cargoes of pepper, cloves and cinnamon, on which enormous profits were made, to the natural jealousy of the Portuguese and Dutch, the prior traders in that region. In 1612, Captain Best was attacked by a strong Portuguese eet, and beat Off his assailants with great gallantry in the roadstead of Surat. He landed his cargo and obtained a commercial treaty from the Mogul emperor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
