  • A Survey of Urdu Literature, 1850-1975 by Shamsur Rahman Faruqi
    Conflict, Transition, and Hesitant Resolution: A Survey Of Urdu Literature, 1850-1975 by Shamsur Rahman Faruqi [Note: the definitive version of this article was published in K. M. George, ed., Modern Indian Literature--An Anthology; Volume One: Surveys and Poems (New Delhi: Sahitya Akademi, 1992), pp. 420-442.] For much of North India, the world changed twice in 1857. It first changed in May, when columns of Company soldiers marched into Delhi and proclaimed the end of Company Bahadur's rule. The world changed again in September, by which time it was clear that the brief Indian summer of Indian rule was decisively over. If the first change was violent and disorderly, it was also fired by a desperate hope, and a burning anger. Anger had generated hope--hope that the supercilious and brutal foreigner, who understood so little of Indian values and Indian culture, could still be driven out, that he was not a supernatural force, or an irrevocable curse on the land of Hindustan. The events of 1857-1858 drove the anger underground, and destroyed the hope. The defeat, dispersal, and death of the rebels signalled the end of an age, and the ushering in of a new order. It was an order which was essentially established by force, but which sought to legitimate itself on the grounds of moral superiority. It claimed that its physical supremacy resulted from its superior intellectual apparatus and ethical code, rather than merely from an advantage in numbers or resources. It was thus quite natural for the English to try to change Indian society from both the inside and outside.

Interdisciplinary Dialogue And Lucknow’s Cultural System Sandria Freitag Introduction 1 Does Lucknow ‘suffer’ from ‘too much history’ as the informant commented to our editors? This postscript suggests that, however far the city may have moved from its Nawabi beginnings, the inherited strategies that shaped Lucknow’s cultural system under the Nawabs made space for its residents to play an active role in defining that system. This contribution is fundamental to understanding life in this urban central place over more than two centuries: the inclusiveness essential to claiming legitimacy by a Successor State in its locality also provided the flexibility and authority for the cultural system to respond creatively to new challenges as its historical context changed. At the heart of our narrative, then, lie the strategies inherent not only in the Nawabs’ approach to their kingdom, but in the larger implications for contemporary India of a Successor State’s creation of an inclusive and responsive cultural system shaped by the agency of its residents.

  • The Moghul Islamic Diaspora: the Institutionalization of Islam in Jamaica
    Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs, Vol. 20, No. 2, 2000 The Moghul Islamic Diaspora: The Institutionalization of Islam in Jamaica SULTANA AFROZ Introduction ‘As-Salamu-’alaikum’, the Islamic greeting in Arabic, meaning ‘peace be upon you’, continued to be the of cial greeting among the Maroon Council members in Moore- town, Portland, Jamaica and the dhikir, ‘Allahu Akbar’, declaring the Greatness of Allah, still throbbed in the hearts of many of the former Muslim slaves when the Indian indentured Muslims rst landed in Jamaica in 1845.1 However, the Islamic greeting, which had distinguished the Muslim Maroon community from the non- Muslims, had lost much of its Islamic signi cance. The dhikir presumably became a personal enlightenment of the soul of the many freed African Muslim slaves in the midst of great social, economic and political uncertainties following emancipation.2 With the arrival of the indentured Muslims from India, the peaceful revival of Islam in Jamaica began. Although these Muslims formed a minority of a larger group of indentured labourers and were in an adverse atmosphere, they were resilient and set up institutions which were clear manifestations of a promising resurgent Islamic community. The inner struggle or jihad for self-puri cation and to lead life in accord- ance with the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah, replaced the somewhat outer jihad of the African Muslim slaves as manifested in the Baptist War of 1831–1832 or the Maroon Wars of the eighteenth century. With the Indian indentured Muslims, and subsequently with the other Indians from the subcontinent, came the Moghul culture exhibiting its richness in culinary arts, fashions and lifestyle.

Ethics, Empire, and Print Publics in Colonial India LEIGH DENAULT• E-mail: [email protected] In the 1870s, Indian news editors warned their readers of a series of crises threatening India. They saw the famines, wars, and poverty that they were describing as symptoms of the same illness: Colonial governors had failed to implement an ethical system of gov- ernance, and had therefore failed to create a healthy body politic, choosing to expend energy in punishing or censoring dissent when they should have been constructing more durable civic institutions. In North India, earlier Mughal traditions of political phil- osophy and governance offered a template to critique the current state. In drawing on these traditions, editors linked multiple registers of dissent, from simple ‘fables’ about emperors to more sophisticated arguments drawn from newly reinterpreted akhlaq texts, creating a print record of the multilingual, multivalent literary and oral worlds of Indian political thought. The figures of the Mughal emperors Akbar and Aurangzeb, representing the zenith and nadir of Mughal sovereignty, in turn linked popular and learned discussions on statecraft, good governance, and personal responsibility in an age of crisis.
