Less Than A Decade Later, Weakened By Internecine Rivalry And Intrigue, Punjab Fell Into The Waiting Hands Of The British. The Ruler Who Signed Away The Kingdom And Its Treasures, Including The Famed Koh-I-Noor Diamond, Was An Eleven-Year-Old Boy, Duleep Singh, The Youngest Of Ranjit Singh&Rsquo;S Acknowledged Sons.

Soon After The British Had Annexed His Kingdom, Duleep Was Separated From His Mother And His People, Taken Under British Guardianship And Converted To Christianity. At Sixteen, He Was Transported To England To Live The Life Of A Country Squire&Mdash;An Exile That He Had Been Schooled To Seek Himself. But Disillusionment With The Treatment Meted Out To Him And A Late Realization Of His Lost Legacy Turned Duleep Into A Rebel. He Became A Sikh Again And Sought To Return To And Lead His People. The Attempt Was To Drag Him Into The Murky Politics Of Nineteenthcentury Europe, And Leave Him Depleted And Vulnerable To Every Kind Of Deceit And Ridicule. His End Came In A Cheap Hotel Room In Paris, But Not Before One Last Act Of Betrayal And Humiliation.

Download or read book Royals on tour written by Robert Aldrich and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-13 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Royals on Tour explores visits by European monarchs and princes to colonies, and by indigenous royals to Europe in the 1800s and early 1900s with case studies of travel by royals from Britain, France, Portugal, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Japan, the Dutch East Indies and French Indochina. Such tours projected imperial dominion and asserted the status of non-European dynasties. The celebrity of royals, the increased facility of travel, and the interest of public and press made tours key encounters between Europeans and non-Europeans. The reception visitors received illustrate the dynamics of empire and international relations. Ceremonies, speeches and meetings formed part of the popular culture of empire and monarchy. Mixed in with pageantry and protocol were profound questions about the role of monarchs, imperial governance, relationships between metropolitan and overseas elites, and evolving expressions of nationalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do traditions and peoples grapple with loss, particularly when it is of such magnitude that it defies the possibility of recovery or restoration? Rajbir Singh Judge offers new ways to understand loss and the limits of history by considering Maharaja Duleep Singh and his struggle during the 1880s to reestablish Sikh rule, the lost Khalsa Raj, in Punjab. Sikh sovereignty in what is today northern India and northeastern Pakistan came to an end in the middle of the nineteenth century, when the British annexed the Sikh kingdom and, eventually, exiled its child maharaja, Duleep Singh, to England. In the 1880s, Singh embarked on an abortive attempt to restore the lost Sikh kingdom. Judge explores not only Singh’s efforts but also the Sikh people’s responses—the dreams, fantasies, and hopes that became attached to the Khalsa Raj. He shows how a community engaged military, political, and psychological loss through theological debate, literary production, bodily discipline, and ethical practice in order to contest colonial politics. This book argues that Sikhs in the final decades of the nineteenth century were not simply looking to recuperate the past but to remake it—and to dwell within loss instead of transcending it—and in so doing opened new possibilities. Bringing together Sikh tradition, psychoanalysis, and postcolonial thought, Prophetic Maharaja provides bracing insights into concepts of sovereignty and the writing of history.
