Book excerpt: Beato’s Delhi offers a pictorial history of Delhi, brought vividly to life through the visual virtuosity of Felice A. Beato, the famous nineteenth-century photographer who came to India to record the last embers of the 1857 ‘Mutiny’, and Jim Masselos who, in 1997, retraced Beato’s footsteps and photographed the same sites as far as possible. By the time Beato reached Delhi in January 1858, the British had already subdued the city, so he could not record the military campaign itself. However, his lens was perhaps the first to capture the battleground and other places of note in that campaign, providing for posterity some unique views of Old Delhi before substantial parts of it were demolished in the aftermath of 1857, or radically redeveloped as the years progressed. Beato’s luminous views are juxtaposed with Masselos’s present-day photographs of the bustling metropolis, shedding light on how the face of Delhi has transformed in the intervening 154 years. Supplemented with an illuminating text by Masselos and Narayani Gupta, Beato’s Delhi is a moving testament to the resilience of this ever-evolving city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: However Infamous The Conduct Of The Sepoys, It Is Only The Reflex, In A Concentrated Form, Of England S Own Conduct In India . . . Karl Marx 1857 Was A Defining Moment In The History Of The British Empire. As Native Troops In India Rebelled Against Their Colonial Masters And Were Joined By A Large Number Of Local Chiefs, Civilians And Princes, The Empire Almost Lost Its Most Prized Territory. A Hundred And Fifty Years Later, Scholars, Academics And Historians Still Argue About The Exact Nature Of The Uprising And The Appropriate Nomenclature For It: The First War Of Independence, The Great Indian Mutiny, The Sepoy Rebellion. Debates Still Rage Over Its Causes. Did It Really Originate From A Dispute Over Greased Cartridges? Was It Premeditated? Not Surprisingly, The Uprising Attracted Both Local And Global Attention And Produced A Massive Archive Of Documents. The Penguin 1857 Reader Depicts The Historic Event From Various Perspectives: English, Indian, European And American. Through A Selection Of Documents Of The Time, It Provides Glimpses Into The Actions Across Northern India, Maps The Contours Of Dissent Against The Raj And Explores The Immediate Responses To The Upheaval In India And Outside. Included Here Are Numerous Newspaper And Magazine Accounts In Leading English And American Papers, Chronicles Of British And Indian Men And Women Who Witnessed The Turmoil, Intelligence Reports And Narratives Of Soldiers, The British Administration S Responses, The Opinions Of Karl Marx, Lord Macaulay And Mark Twain, British Views On The Rani Of Jhansi And Nana Saheb, And Mirza Ghalib S Moving Narration In His Diaries And The Historic Trial Of Bahadur Shah Zafar. With A Scholarly And Comprehensive Introduction, This Reader Captures The Many Dimensions Of One Of The Most Momentous Episodes In The History Of The Indian Subcontinent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building Histories offers innovative accounts of five medieval monuments in Delhi—the Red Fort, Rasul Numa Dargah, Jama Masjid, Purana Qila, and the Qutb complex—tracing their modern lives from the nineteenth century into the twentieth. Mrinalini Rajagopalan argues that the modern construction of the history of these monuments entailed the careful selection, manipulation, and regulation of the past by both the colonial and later postcolonial states. Although framed as objective “archival” truths, these histories were meant to erase or marginalize the powerful and persistent affective appropriations of the monuments by groups who often existed outside the center of power. By analyzing these archival and affective histories together, Rajagopalan works to redefine the historic monument—far from a symbol of a specific past, the monument is shown in Building Histories to be a culturally mutable object with multiple stories to tell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A common thread throughout the essays in this volume is a focus on new loci of power that emerge either in collision with colonial power structures, or in collaboration with or those that emerge in the wake of decolonization. While the authors recognize the presence of a larger structure of colonial hegemony, they also investigate those centers of power that emerge in the interstices of crevices of colonial power. Interdisciplinary and theoretically innovative, this book offers a global perspective on colonial and national landscapes, rewrites the master creator narrative, examines national landscapes as sites of contestation and views the globalization of processes such as archaeology beyond the boundaries of the national.

Download or read book Space, Utopia and Indian Decolonization written by Sandeep Banerjee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-21 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book illuminates the spatial utopianism of South Asian anti-colonial texts by showing how they refuse colonial spatial imaginaries to re-imagine the British Indian colony as the postcolony in diverse and contested ways. Focusing on the literary field of South Asia between, largely, the 1860s and 1920s, it underlines the centrality of literary imagination and representation in the cultural politics of decolonization. This book spatializes our understanding of decolonization while decoupling and complicating the easy equation between decolonization and anti-colonial nationalism. The author utilises a global comparative framework and reads across the English-vernacular divide to understand space as a site of contested representation and ideological contestation. He interrogates the spatial desire of anti-colonial and colonial texts across a range of genres, namely, historical romances, novels, travelogues, memoirs, poems, and patriotic lyrics. The book is the first full-length literary geographical study of South Asian literary texts and will be of interest to an interdisciplinary audience in the fields of Postcolonial and World Literature, Asian Literature, Victorian Literature, Modern South Asian Historiography, Literature and Utopia, Literature and Decolonization, Literature and Nationalism, Cultural Geography, and South Asian Studies.

This book was released on 2022-05-05 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cawnpore Well, Lucknow Residency, and Delhi Ridge were sacred places within the British imagination of India. Sanctified by the colonial administration in commemoration of victory over the 'Sepoy Mutiny' of 1857, they were read as emblems of empire which embodied the central tenets of sacrifice, fortitude, and military prowess that underpinned Britain's imperial project. Since independence, however, these sites have been rededicated in honour of the 'First War of Independence' and are thus sacred to the memory of those who revolted against colonial rule, rather than those who saved it. The 1857 Indian Uprising and the Politics of Commemoration tells the story of these and other commemorative landscapes and uses them as prisms through which to view over 150 years of Indian history. Based on extensive archival research from India and Britain, Sebastian Raj Pender traces the ways in which commemoration responded to the demands of successive historical moments by shaping the events of 1857 from the perspective of the present. By telling the history of India through the transformation of mnemonic space, this study shows that remembering the past is always a political act.
