Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Episodes of Anglo-Indian History It is a frequent complaint that the English public know little of India. It is certainly curious that, until within the last few years, the study of Indian history formed no part of the ordinary curriculum of our schools; though it might have been supposed that a record so full of brilliant deeds would have had a strong and special attraction for our English youth. One reason, however, for this general indifference or ignorance may have been the want of popular books upon the subject, calculated to engage the attention of the ordinary reader. Down to quite a recent date, almost the only compositions of this kind were Lord Macaulay's picturesque essays on Clive and Warren Hastings. And though much, it is true, has recently been done in this direction, there still remains room, if I mistake not, for a compilation such as the present, in which the leading facts of Anglo-Indian history are presented without unnecessary detail. In truth, it has been my desire to tell my story with the utmost simplicity, believing that its deep, intrinsic interest cannot fail to secure the reader's attention.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hearseys: Five Generations of an Anglo-Indian Family Two years previously Warren Hastings had, in the execution of what his opponents styled his frantic military exploits, sent a Bengal column under Colonel Goddard to march across India to the Bombay Presidency, and there to operate against the Mahratta army of Sindhia. Goddard now required reinforcements, and to this end a force was despatched early in the year 1780, under Captain Popham, one of the boldest and most enterprising officers who ever served England in India.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vizier Ali Khan: A Chapter in British Indian History The first appearance of this short History was in 1844, and the whole impression having been long since exhausted, the present renewal, with some additions, in a limited number of copies, is chiefly for the supply of private friends and relatives. The principal details were obtained by me from the late Hon. Mountstuart Elphinstone, appointed on his first arrival in India as assistant to my father the judge and magistrate of Benares, and present at the time of the revolt. There were episodes in the late Indian Mutiny not unlike the events here recorded. Had the first outbreak at Meerut, in 1857, been as speedily quenched, and the mutinous regiments prevented from marching to Delhi, the perils of that crisis might have been greatly diminished.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kela Bai: An Anglo-Indian Idyll It was the time of divine weather after the rains. The hot season had burned itself away. The monsoon had burst in sweat-drops at the end of June. Then came four steaming months, when the air was white with the hiss and the swish and the swirl of the rains. The swollen Ganges overtopped her banks, and foamed among the roots of the yellow babul-bushes. Porpoises turned somersaults in the brown eddies. The rain-birds wailed in every dripping grove.

This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The White Dove of Amritzir a Romance of Anglo-Indian Life "Kasan Singh, how dare you!" and the speaker sprang up from before the table, at which he had been working, and looked down with an expression of mingled anger and pity at a man, crouching at his feet, muttering words in a strange tongue, but which, nevertheless, conveyed to the mind of the hearer a distinct idea of prayer and incantation. Far from being repulsed by the angry ejaculation, Kasan Singh's voice rose, as he dragged himself to where the officer stood, and then prostrated himself on the ground until his forehead touched the Englishman's feet. It was truly a strange scene. The first rays of the early morning sun, penetrating through the uplifted canvas, which formed the doorway, lit up the interior of a large, military tent. A huge Pathan, whose dark face was rendered still fiercer by his long hair, heavy black whiskers and moustache, stood at the entrance, a revolver in his hand, whilst in a corner half a dozen natives, clad in yellow robes with blue turbanned heads, crouched with outstretched hands, gazing in the direction of their comrade and of the man he was evidently adoring.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Indian, Vol. 1: Military Repository In the prospectus which the Editor of the British Indian Military Repository had the honor to submit to the Officers of the Indian Army, the desire to supply an important desideratum was set forth as the principle on which he acted. The undertaking has been kindly encouraged by Major General Hardwicke, Commandant of the Bengal Artillery, in circulating many copies of the prospectus; and the Editor feels the highest pride in placing the names of so many of his Brother Soldiers in the first number of the British Indian Military Repository. In expressing the hope that the Readers of the pages now submitted to them may not be altogether disappointed, the Editor expects that future Numbers of the work may be rendered more valuable by original communications from some of the many highly distinguished characters, who are justly esteemed and honored in the Armies of the three Presidencies; and such communications he most earnestly solicits.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Westminster and India I have some things to tell which may be of general interest, and not feeling daunted by the consideration that a man who sits down to write his reminiscences might as well write his own epitaph. Probably I ought to begin by stating what are my qualifications for the task, and giving a short history of the preparation I went through to fit me for the work of becoming an active member and an observant critic of the Imperial Parliament. I frequently see myself spoken of as a retired anglo-indian who, having made a little money after a long period of service in the East, suddenly took a plunge into English public life. But as a matter of fact I have only spent twelve out of sixty-five years in India, though I have given close and constant study for very many years to Indian affairs. I had a very good training in England before I went to India. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Early English Adventurers in the East Classic Reprint written by Arnold Wright and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early English Adventurers in the East This work covers the period which intervened between Drake's circumnavigation of the world at the close of the sixteenth century and the founding of Calcutta at the end of the seventeenth century. Those were the years in which the initial efforts were made by the English to establish themselves in the East as traders. It was, as far as this part of the world is concerned, preeminently the age of the adventurer - the merchant adventurer, if you will, but still of the true adventurer who seeks fortune by his daring enterprise and his mother wit. For varied interest and picturesqueness, there is no more fascinating period than this in the whole of the Empire's past. Tragedy and comedy mingled their elements in what was in essence one of the most romantic dramas of the world's history. Men started out to build up a commercial connexion, and they ended in laying the foundations of a dominion over alien peoples more wonderful than that of Rome in her palmiest days.
