Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE DUFF COOPER MEMORIAL PRIZE | LONGLISTED FOR THE SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE 'Indispensable reading on both India and the Empire' Daily Telegraph 'Brims with life, colour and complexity . . . outstanding' Evening Standard 'A compulsively readable masterpiece' Brian Urquhart, The New York Review of Books A stunning and bloody history of nineteenth-century India and the reign of the Last Mughal. In May 1857 India's flourishing capital became the centre of the bloodiest rebellion the British Empire had ever faced. Once a city of cultural brilliance and learning, Delhi was reduced to a battered, empty ruin, and its ruler – Bahadur Shah Zafar II, the last of the Great Mughals – was thrown into exile. The Siege of Delhi was the Raj's Stalingrad: a fight to the death between two powers, neither of whom could retreat. The Last Mughal tells the story of the doomed Mughal capital, its tragic destruction, and the individuals caught up in one of the most terrible upheavals in history, as an army mutiny was transformed into the largest anti-colonial uprising to take place anywhere in the world in the entire course of the nineteenth century.

Download or read book Delhi 1857: the Siege,Assault,And Capture As Given in the Diary and Correspondence of the Late Col. Keith Young,C. B. written by Henry Wylie Norman and published by . This book was released on 2004-10 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The siege and storming of Delhi was the turning point of the Indian Mutiny - the moment when British rule in the sub-continent hung in the balance. Colonel Keith Young, Judge-Advocate General of the Indian Army, and a high-ranking British official, was an eye-witness throughout, and this substantial account is drawn from his private papers and were originally intended for his family s eyes only. Most of them were letters to his wife, who, with other European ladies, was in the relative safety of the hill-station at Simla, while the Mutiny was unfolding. The letters describe the outbreak of the Mutiny, with the famous story of the greased cartridges, - the catalyst for the outbreak - and the proclamation of the aged King of Delhi, last of the Mughal emperors, as the mutineers titular leader. The letters go on to describe the advance on Delhi by a small British relief force, the siege and the final desperate storming and capture of the city. Long out of print, this 1902 publication is a rare and valauable eye-witness account of one of the Mutiny s key episodes.

Download or read book Besieged written by and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2010-07-16 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translated by Mahmood Farooqui, with notes on the Mutiny Papers and governance in Delhi 1857 by the translator When Delhi lay under siege for five harrowing months in the summer of 1857, the people of the city described the events as ghadar: a time of turbulence. Resources within the besieged city fell dangerously low and locals found the rebelling sepoys presence and the increased levies insufferable. Nonetheless, an extraordinary effort was launched by the government of Bahadur Shah Zafar to fight the British. Thousands of labourers and tonnes of materials were mobilized, funds were gathered, the police monitored food prices and a functioning bureaucracy was vigilantly maintained right until the walled city s fall. Then, as Delhi was transformed by the victorious British, these everyday sacrifices and the efforts of thousands of people to save their country were lost forever. In this groundbreaking work, Mahmood Farooqui presents the first extensive translations into English of the Mutiny Papers documents dating from Delhi s 1857 siege, originally written in Persian and Shikastah Urdu. The translations include such fascinating pieces as the constitution of the Court of Mutineers, letters from soldiers threatening to leave Delhi if they were not paid their salaries, complaints to the police about unruly soldiers, and reports of troublesome courtesans, spies, faqirs, doctors, volunteers and harassed policemen. Shifting focus away from the conventional understanding of the events of 1857, these translations return ordinary and anonymous men and women back into the history of 1857. Besieged offers a view of how the rebel government of Delhi organized the essential requirements of war food and labour, soldiers salaries, arms and ammunition but more than that, this deeply evocative book reveals the hopes, beliefs and failures of a people who lived through the tragic end of an era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Narrative of the Siege of Delhi: With an Account of the Mutiny at Ferozepore in 1857 The ever memorable period in the history of our Eastern Empire known as the Great Indian Rebellion or Mutiny of the Bengal army was an epoch fraught with the most momentous consequences, and one which resulted in covering with undying fame those who bore part in its suppression. The passions aroused during the struggle, the fierce hate animating the breasts of the combatants, the deadly incidents of the strife, which without intermission lasted for nearly two years, and deluged with blood the plains and cities of Hindostan, have scarcely a parallel in history. On the one side religious fanaticism, when Hindoo and Mohammedan, restraining the bitter animosity of their rival creeds, united together in the attempt to drive out of their common country that race which for one hundred years had dominated and held the overlordship of the greater portion of India. On the other side, a small band of Englishmen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
