TURBANS and TOP HATS Indian Interpreters in the Colony of Natal TURBANS AND TOP HATS Indian Interpreters in the Colony of Natal, 1880-1910 by PRINISHA BADASSY A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Social Science – Honours in the Department of Historical Studies, Faculty of Human Science, University of Natal 2002 University of Natal Abstract TURBANS AND TOP HATS Indian Interpreters in the Colony of Natal, 1880-1910 by PRINISHA BADASSY Supervised by: Professor Jeff Guy Department of Historical Studies This dissertation is concerned with an historical examination of Indian Interpreters in the British Colony of Natal during the period, 1880 to 1910. These civil servants were intermediaries between the Colonial State and the wider Indian population, who apart from the ‘Indentureds’, included storekeepers, traders, politicians, railway workers, constables, court messengers, teachers and domestic servants. As members of an Indian elite and the Natal Civil Service, they were pioneering figures in overcoming the shackles of Indenture but at the same time they were active agents in the perpetuation of colonial oppression, and hegemonic imperialist ideas. Theirs was an ambiguous and liminal position, existing between worlds, as Occidentals and Orientals.

This thesis is proof of that, but more importantly it is an attempt at filling in the blanks. First and foremost, my sincere thanks and humble appreciation to my supervisor Professor Guy, for his honesty, invaluable suggestions and enthusiasm since my first day in the archives. Much gratitude to Mr. Rajendra Chetty for his photographs and interest in my project. My earnest thanks to my honours class, and the postgraduate students of the History Department, most especially Stephen Sparks, for their friendship and encouragement over the year. I am grateful to Sandi Thomson, Catherine Burns, Keith Breckenridge, Marijke du Toit, and Julie Parle, who in their own little ways make history come alive. I would also like to acknowledge the honours students of the Biology Department, for all the laughs and making this year bearable. To Buddy, Penny, Cheryl and Aldrin, without whom life would be most uninspired, and whose friendship and love is sacred. My love and greatest thanks to my family for their much appreciated patience and understanding, and most of all my adoration and extolment to Sershen Naidoo, whose love and character amazes me every day. - iii - List Of Images Number Page ‘Indians in Natal: Horrors of Life.

New York: Oxford University Press, 1997, 49. - vii - turbans and top hats… Introduction The aim of this thesis is to examine the role of Indian Interpreters in the Colony of Natal during the years 1880 to 1910. In 1860 the Colony was mainly occupied by Indian Indentured workers, as well as Africans and European settlers. The British government had arranged for indentured workers to work on the sugar plantations of the Colony. To facilitate communication between the colonialists and the indentureds, interpreters were employed in the Natal Civil Service. Considering the important part played by interpreters in facilitating contact, communication, cultural exchange, social upliftment, conflict resolution as well as disseminating imperial ideology in the colonial period, there have been surprisingly few individual or collective historical biographies of these influential individuals. Many of the historians writing on Indian history in Natal with particular reference to the Indian elite, nationalism and eventual emancipation from indenture have extolled the virtues and trumpeted the accomplishments of a few men like Gandhi and Polak to the exclusion of many other voices and characters. This thesis aims to expose the Indian Interpreters in the Colony, and attempts to understand their various personalities, talents and skills, limitations and most importantly investigate their ‘petty bourgeois’1 status and role in the rise of Indian nationalism in Natal. There has been very little examination of these interpreters and the role they played as conduits between the Colonial Government and the Indian population. For the most part the broader literature on interpreters and interpretation depicts them either as victims, ‘weathercocks buffeted by the shifting political winds in one or both cultures,’ and docile subjects or as heroes, master mediators, intercultural brokers and “special servants.”2 While there is some truth to both of these views, neither characterization does justice to the colourful lives, complex roles, opportunistic careers and contradictions embodied by these interpreters. In examining the culturally ambiguous characters that served as interpreters in the Natal Civil Service, it is not possible to construct a single composite portrait that would sufficiently represent the diversity of their motives, choices, and life experiences. They were from the upper echelons of society and before entering the Civil Service underwent a process of acculturation/transculturation as they acquired the English language. 1 The phrase ‘petty bourgeois’ is used in this thesis in a Marxist sense to “designate the strata between the bourgeoisie and the working class.” The phrase is used simply to situate these interpreters as part of the middle class, and not necessarily with any negative connotations or attributes.

  • The Status of the Least Documented Language Families in the World
    Vol. 4 (2010), pp. 177-212 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4478 The status of the least documented language families in the world Harald Hammarström Radboud Universiteit, Nijmegen and Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig This paper aims to list all known language families that are not yet extinct and all of whose member languages are very poorly documented, i.e., less than a sketch grammar’s worth of data has been collected. It explains what constitutes a valid family, what amount and kinds of documentary data are sufficient, when a language is considered extinct, and more. It is hoped that the survey will be useful in setting priorities for documenta- tion fieldwork, in particular for those documentation efforts whose underlying goal is to understand linguistic diversity. 1. InTroducTIon. There are several legitimate reasons for pursuing language documen- tation (cf. Krauss 2007 for a fuller discussion).1 Perhaps the most important reason is for the benefit of the speaker community itself (see Voort 2007 for some clear examples). Another reason is that it contributes to linguistic theory: if we understand the limits and distribution of diversity of the world’s languages, we can formulate and provide evidence for statements about the nature of language (Brenzinger 2007; Hyman 2003; Evans 2009; Harrison 2007). From the latter perspective, it is especially interesting to document lan- guages that are the most divergent from ones that are well-documented—in other words, those that belong to unrelated families. I have conducted a survey of the documentation of the language families of the world, and in this paper, I will list the least-documented ones.

  • The Evolution of the Film and Photography Industries
    Join us for a fascinating panel discussion that traces the trajectory and evolution of the Film and Photography Industries For Immediate Release Avid Learning presents The Changing Face of the Image: The Evolution of the Film and Photography Industries – a live session on how the image making industries of film and photography have changed and evolved – over the years – with the advent of newer technologies and the emergence of fresh artistic perspectives, philosophies and concepts. Award-winning Photographer and Installation Artist Samar Singh Jodha, Award-winning Filmmaker and Photographer Sooni Taraporevala and Oscar-nominated and Two-time National Award-winning Filmmaker Ashvin Kumar will be in conversation with Media Expert and ex-head of the SCM (Social Communications Media) Post-Graduate Course at Sophia Polytechnic Jeroo Mulla. Please read on for more details: Photography and film are two genres that share many synergies and which have both had an interesting history, first being connected to science and the various iterations and adaptations of light, then struggling to be recognized as fine art, and now, with the digital age, the concept of what these two fields entail is constantly changing as are the practitioners themselves. Our cell phones are now packing image making tools that surpass the technology of most digital cameras from fifteen years ago. The shift from analogue to digital photography has elicited diverse reactions from media scholars. While some have written the obituary of photography as the dominant visual medium of the modern world, other scholars see digitisation as merely a means for the continuation or enhancement of this dominant medium.

  • The British Learning of Hindustani
    The British Learning of Hindustani Tariq Rahman The British considered Hindustani, an urban language of north India, the lingua franca of the whole country. They associated it with (easy) Urdu and not modern, or Sanskritized, Hindi. They learned it to exercise power and, because of that, were not careful of mastering the polite usages of the language or its grammar. The British perceptions of the language spread it widely throughout India, especially the urban areas, making it much more widespread than it was when they had arrived. Moreover, their tilt towards Urdu associated it with the Muslims and the language was officially discarded in favour of Hindi in India after independence. The literature of Anglo-India (used here in the earlier sense for the British in India and not for those born of marriages between Europeans and Indians as it came to be understood later) is full of words from Hindustani (also called Urdu by some authors). Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) can hardly be enjoyed unless one is provided with a glossary of these words and even then the authenticity of the experience of the raj is lost in the translation and the interpretation. Many of those who had been in India used words of Hindustani as an identity marker. According to Ivor Lewis, author of a dictionary of Anglo-Indian words: They [the Hindustani words] could not have been much used except (with fading relevance) among a declining number of 20 Pakistan Vision Vol. 8 No. 2 retired Anglo-Indians in the evening of their lives spent in their salubrious English compounds and cantonments.

  • Vulgaris Seu Universalis
    Paolo Aranha Vulgaris seu Universalis Early Modern Missionary Representations of an Indian Cosmopolitan Space Early Modern Oriental Knowledge and Missionary Debates in India The history of religious missions, in particular the early modern European Catholic ones, has drawn a remarkable interest in recent years, both among scholars and by the general public.1 Such a trend can be explained by several reasons, although all of them seem to be related to the processes of globali- zation or mondialisation that are seen at work with special intensity in our time. The religious missions are indeed a phenomenon that exemplifies in an eloquent way the intellectual exercise of a global history aiming to find connections and exchanges, both material and cultural, among different parts of the world. Missionaries can be seen also as professional brokers of cultural diversity, evoking just too easily—and not necessarily in a very pertinent way—current debates on multiculturalism and encounters of cultures. More- over, European religious missions are an obvious benchmark for endorsing or criticising the category of “Orientalism,” as developed—both influentially and controversially—by Edward Said (1978). As religious missions draw a growing attention, it has been recently suggested that these might be considered less predominantlySpecimen than in the past in terms of a religious specificity. Pierre- Antoine Fabre and Bernard Vincent claimed in the introduction to a recent collective book that the historiography on early modern missions has been developed lately in function of “a research horizon independent from the traditions connected to religious history.”2 Such an observation seems to be confirmed in the case of the Jesuits, the single most studied religious order of early modern Catholicism, to the point that “currently, in danger of being lost sight of is precisely the religious dimension of the Jesuit enterprise” (O’Malley 2013: 33).
