Download or read book The Sovereign Subject and Colonial Justice written by K. C. Yadav and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume analyzes the trial of Bahadur Shah, a watershed moment in the 19th-century colonial history of India. The trial of Bahadur Shah raises the contentious issue of sovereignty – trial of Emperor Bahadur Shah, de jure power by de facto claimant to power, the English East India Company. There has been a lot of confusion and controversy over the trial ever since the proceedings began – its main architects could not define if it really was a juristic trial, a court of enquiry, a court-martial, or a general enquiry? This book sheds light on this event through the original, unprinted manuscript of the Trial at the end of the uprising of the 1857. It critically investigates the trial, mainly its architecture, grammar, functioning, and findings from historical, political, and juridical perspectives to determine, as far as possible, the actual position of Emperor Bahadur Shah, his strengths, and his weaknesses. Further, it examines the Rebellion of 1857, particularly in Delhi, and Bahadur Shah’s role therein. A key reading on justice in colonial history, this volume will be of interest to researchers and scholars of colonial and imperial history, modern history, political theory, and South Asia studies. It will also be of great interest to general readers interested in learning about the colonization of India by the British and its commercial arm East India Company.

Download or read book Aftermath of Revolt written by Thomas R. Metcalf and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mutiny of 1857 left a deep mark on Indian society and on the nature of British rule. Thomas Metcalf analyzes the influence of the Mutiny on many facets of Indian life and relations with Great Britain, examining social reform, education, land settlement policy, the position of the tenant and the moneylender, relations with the Indian states, the structure of the government, and the growth of racial sentiment. The author also makes an attempt to place the India of the 1860's in the broader context of Victorian liberalism. The view emerges that the relations between the British and the Indian people were decisively altered by the Mutiny. In fact the decade following the upheaval was possibly the last great creative period of British rule, and one in which the nature of many of the institutions that lasted to independence were shaped.

Download or read book Haryana The Torch Bearer of 1857 written by Tejinder Singh Walia and published by Sankalp Publication. This book was released on with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: : Some of the recent writers have exploded many a myth concerning the First War of Independence in 1857. Tejinder Singh Walia has ventured to straighten the record through highlighting the role of Haryana in the freedom struggle in his book "HARYANA THE TORCH BEARER OF 1857.It makes an illuminating and serious reading. The writer's burning desire to unearth much of the truth that lays buried in the National Archives brings out many revealing facts and figures regarding the many-faceted sacrifices heroically made by the men, women and children of the soil now falling under the state of Haryana. The book is replete with facts and figures to make the authenticity of the claim convincing and substantial. For example, the fires that engulfed the buildings owned by the British Rulers were the first symptoms of revolt against the English masters on the very soil of Ambala a fact which cannot be underplayed by any amount of contrary reasoning. There are lots of other examples of defiance and rebellion stated in the book to illustrate the fact that not only the soldiers but the common man in the civics to equally shared the quota of sufferings in the form of inhuman torture, unfair prosecution and the sudden death meted out to the strong-minded patriots. Though we are all burdened by the overwhelming problems like the global warming, inflationary pressures and lots of other case of corruption, social and economic injustice, we still fervently harbor and are eager to express, feel and pay back what ever debt, however inadequately, the debt of gratitude and responsibility. So, goaded on by a strong desire to redness the dearth of awareness among our fellow-beings regarding the unforgettable sacrifices made by our freedom fighters, for example, how men, women and children were crushed ruthlessly by the rulers making the road named LAL SADAK in Hansi, a perennial reminder of the what man do to a man. Hence what started as an initial curiosity turned into a marathon search for the deeper recesses of the archives for the writer, his kith and kin, friends and a few other well-wishers in spending many sleepless nights and restless days to pay back a great debt to not only his own Walia ancestors but also to do justice to every freedom fighters of Haryana. Tejinder Singh Walia concedes that, after all, it were the cumulative sacrifices of the proud people of our pluralistic society whose glorious saga gave us the basis of a staunch national character. The readers would find the reading of the book absorbing and revealing from both aspects historical as well as human.

Download or read book The Skull of Alum Bheg written by Kim Wagner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1963, a human skull was discovered in a pub in Kent in south-east England. A brief handwritten note stuck inside the cavity revealed it to be that of Alum Bheg, an Indian soldier in British service who was executed during the aftermath of the 1857 Uprising, or The Indian Mutiny as historians of an earlier era described it. Alum Bheg was blown from a cannon for having allegedly murdered British civilians, and his head was brought back as a grisly war-trophy by an Irish officer present at his execution. The skull is a troublesome relic of both anti- colonial violence and the brutality and spectacle of British retribution. Kim Wagner presents an intimate and vivid account of life and death in British India in the throes of the largest rebellion of the nineteenth century. Fugitive rebels spent months, even years, hiding in the vastness of the Himalayas before they were eventually hunted down and punished by a vengeful colonial state. Examining the colonial practice of collecting and exhibiting human remains, this book offers a critical assessment of British imperialism that speaks to contemporary debates about the legacies of Empire and the myth of the 'Mutiny'.
