Book excerpt: This thesis studies the course of Anglo-Sikh relations as a case study in the dynamics of imperialism in a generally neglected period, the first half of the nineteenth century. The Sikh state was British India's most formidable victim, going down only after desperately fought battles in two wars. -- The Anglo-Sikh relationship between 1780 and 1846 was shaped by strategy, war, trade and by cultural difference. The overall pattern of British Indian strategies have often been studied: here the focus is on their effect on the Punjab. Wars - the Sind, Afghan and First Sikh campaigns -have been analysed before too. Here the emphasis is on the emotions that they generated and changes which they brought about in Anglo-Sikh relations. Economic history has been a market garden for theories of imperialism. Here that neglected briar patch, the economic penetration of the pre-conquest Punjab, has been assailed. Changes in contemporary cultural attitudes between the Punjab and British India did much to shape the events of 1780-1846, and so they are interwoven at several stages of the story. -- The study provides the background to Anglo-Sikh relations from about 1809 onwards, but it concentrates on the 1838-45 period. This was when Maharaja Ranjit Singh, architect of the Sikh state, died, and when the ailing state had to deal with resultant internal strains and with the demands of the British Afghan war. The anti-Russian strategy which led to this disastrous war gave way to a British determination to re-establish their prestige and paramountcy in the north-west. An army coup at Lahore gave the Sikhs a similar desire, and the Sikh army invaded British India in 1845-6. This First Sikh war was followed by treaties so effectively terminating the independence of the Punjab that this study does not proceed beyond them.

Download or read book The First Anglo Sikh War 1845 46 written by David Smith and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Anglo-Sikh War broke out due to escalating tensions between the Sikh Empire and the British East India Company in the Punjab region of India in the mid-nineteenth century. Political machinations were at the heart of the conflict, with Sikh rulers fearing the growing power of their own army, while several prominent Sikh generals actively collaborated with the East India Company. The British faced a disciplined opponent, trained along European lines, which fielded armies numbering in the tens of thousands. The war featured a number of closely contested battles, with both sides taking heavy losses. This fully illustrated study of the First Anglo-Sikh War tells the story of one of the major colonial wars of the nineteenth century, as the East India Company attempted to wrest control of the Punjab region from a Sikh Empire riven by infighting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1839 forces of the British East India Company crossed the Indus to invade Afghanistan on the pretext of reinstating a former king Shah Soojah to his rightful throne. The reality was that this was another step in Britain's Great Game – Afghanistan would create a buffer to any potential Russian expansion towards India. This history traces the initial, campaign which would see the British easily occupy Kabul and the rebellion that two years later would see the British army humbled. Forced to negotiate a surrender the British fled Kabul en masse in the harsh Afghan winter. Decimated by Afghan guerilla attacks and by the harsh cold and a lack of food and supplies just one European – Dr Brydon would make it to the safety of Jalalabad five days later. This book goes on to trace the retribution attack on Kabul the following year, which destroyed the symbolic Mogul Bazaar before rapidly withdrawing and leaving Afghanistan in peace for nearly a generation.
Download or read book The Sikh Army 1799 1849 written by Ian Heath and published by Osprey Publishing. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beginning of the 19th century saw the rise of a remarkable Sikh leader in the Punjab province of north-west India. Unifying the feudal rulers under his authority, the conquering Maharaja Ranjit Singh pursued campaigns of expansion for nearly 40 years, creating for the purpose a new regular army on the Western model. His death in 1839 found the frontiers of Sikh and British power in confrontation; in the 1840s the inevitable trial of strength brought British crown and East India Company troops into battle against the most formidable Indian army they ever faced. Its story is told here in fascinating detail, illustrated with rare early paintings and with colourful reconstructions of Punjabi regular soldiers and feudal warriors.
