GIBERNE SIEVEKING AUTHOR OF 'MEMOIR AND LETTERS OF FRANCIS w. NEWMAN' ' Theirs is the battle ! Theirs wholly, For that Day is a day will be written in story To the great world's end. and for ever : ' So, let them have the Spurs, and the glory ' No man who is not endowed with a comprehensive imagination can govern India with success Dalhousie had no imagination.' SIR JOHN KAVE ' I believe it would be better for the land in which we live, if India appealed more than it does to our imagination. The interest so created would help to bridge over the gap between East and West.' MACPHAIL. ' The defence of Arrah may be considered one of the most remarkable feats in Indian history.' SIR VINCENT EYRE. THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO THOMAS GISBORNE GORDON IN MEMORY OF AN OLD FRIENDSHIP IN EARLIER DAYS 1411725 PREFACE THIS book aims at throwing a light on a very crucial time in our Empire's history. It aims at lighting up that part of England's memory which is concerned with a certain siege which happened more than fifty years ago, lest she forget splendid deeds done by heroic Eng- in the Indian at lishmen Mutiny ; men who, out-of-the-way stations, fought against gigantic odds, with only a few troops to support them fought, and saved their country's colours. These were the men who held up the lamp of the Ideal high above the heads of their fellow-men. Would there were more of them here to-day in England ! Men, who simply could not be discouraged by any amount of failure, by any amount of discouragement. They were aware of the inner meaning of * those inspiring words : how far High Failure overleaps the bounds of low successes.' And vi PREFACE though for many of them, the last words that sounded in their dying ears were those of ' ' * defeat and disaster,' though the bitter taste of the fruit of War was on their lips, and ghastly sights met their eyes, theirs was the unconquerable spirit which can die, and yet remain at the supreme moment of death victor, in spite of all. To-day in the hearts of many the light of has burned of Chivalry very dim ; that Reverence flickers low; while the power of Idealising lights comparatively few. The following pages are full of the deeds of some of the greatest heroes the world has ever seen and in almost all these men ; the fires of Chivalry, 1 Reverence, and the power of the Ideal, allied with absolute pluck and heroism, burned high. I should like to express my hearty thanks to those who so kindly lent me old records, 1 To-day, as these pages go to press, I have heard of a doctor's rare act of chivalry. (I should state he was not in good financial circumstances at the time.) He had been for many weeks attending a patient at her request (though she only needed him temporarily, and was not one of his regular clientele), and at the end of her illness he refused to accept any return whatever, simply because to have taken any fee, would have seemed, in his eyes, to be contrary to what he conceived to be the true spirit of Chivalry. PREFACE vii letters, papers and photos. Among these I would mention the names of Mr. Herwald Wake and Mr. J. C. Colvin, to both of whom I owe a very special debt of thanks. Also those of Major Leather, of the 5th Fusiliers, General Broadfoot, Sir George Trevelyan, Dr. Theodore Maxwell (who kindly gave me permission to use the letters of John Nicholson), Miss Lucy Wake, Miss Bax- Ironside (who most kindly allowed me access to her father's papers), Mrs. Radcliffe, Surgeon-General Sir James Thornton, K.C.B., Lady Fayrer, Mr. Stafford Bailey, Mrs. Ross Mangles, Mrs. McDonell, and many others. To one friend I am indebted for his great kindness in reading my MSS., and stating (he was one of the besieged party at Arrah) that what I have written is correct. I. GIBERNE SIEVEKING.

From a painting 207 A TURNING POINj 'HE INDIAN Mill [NY WHAT is it that strikes one most keenly when one looks at the events of the Mutiny of 1857 ? Surely this: the great lack of imagination in the ranks of English officials out in India at that time. Indeed it was so palpable, so insistent, that it practically amounted to a sort of mental colour- blindness. For the signs of the times were signifi- one cant enough ; patent enough, would have thought, in all conscience. And what is more, they were happening daily before the eyes of soldier, civilian, and government official. Those who knew the native most, who could put two and two together, foretold the mutiny long before it came Sir Henry Lawrence prophesied its probable course fourteen years before it came but to no effect. It is one thing to warn, another thing to take the 2 THE INDIAN MUTINY warning, and the English Government in India chose not to be warned. They rode blindly wilfully blindly, for their fall, and they got it. The lack of imagination is a grievous blank in any character. Yet are there many people in England to-day who would think such a lack of no importance. Plenty of people, indeed, would go one step farther, and consider it perhaps the ' thing too much,' which was as well left out of the qualities which go to make up a personality. But then, these are the people who believe that a man can be sufficiently equipped to all intents and purposes without that power that transposes the commonplace into a higher key, and, reading between the lines in other people's lives, teaches sympathy. Lack of imagination in a nation, however, is a deficiency of so vast an importance that, interfering as it does with its progress, it inevitably brings disaster. How could it be otherwise ? For lack of imagination means missing the point when it is most imperative that it should have been grasped. It means want of intuition that invalu- able guide which steers straight, notwithstanding the absence, metaphysically speaking, of lighthouse or signpost. It means that what a man does not actually see for himself can never be grasped as a reality. That he cannot, in effect, put himself in THE INDIAN MUTINY 3 another's see with his think with his place ; eyes, thoughts, and live, in imagination, his life. That he cannot realise, in short, that other's way of life. And not to be able to realise, means also not to be able to sympathise, and with that last word the whole signification of lack of imagination becomes as clear as daylight. It stands revealed before us in its naked truth. How vast a disaster lack of imagination is capable of bringing on a nation, is patent to us when we look at the mutiny of fifty years ago. For what was it that precipitated matters so much then ? that stirred up the whole native mind against us ? that made that revolt possible, in fact ? What but that fatal lack of imagination which prevented our seeing, as a nation, that we were constantly sinning against -the native point of view; constantly going counter to some deep- seated prejudice and religious conviction. Was it not that unrestrained invective against the Hindu and Mohammetan religion, in which a good many missionaries indulged, which roused to bitterness so many natives ? They had apparently forgotten, in India, all about St. Paul's restraint in Ephesus in the matter of Diana, the great goddess of the Ephesians. One of those Englishmen who, in 1857, was ' ' most conscious of our many false steps in the B 2 4 THE INDIAN MUTINY conduct of our affairs with the native, was Martin Gubbins, of the Bengal Civil Service. It was he who was then financial Commissioner of Oudh, and who was, later on, at Benares, spoken of by Sir Evelyn * Wood as the moving spirit of the station.' It was he who, working daily among the natives, knew them more thoroughly perhaps than any Englishman of his time, with the exception of Sir James Outram and Sir Henry Lawrence.

  • The Indian War of Independence 1857
    PUBLISHER’S NOTE Most historians, British as well as Indian, have described and dismissed the rising of 1857 as a ‘Sepoy Munity’ or at best ‘The Indian Mutiny’. Indian revolution is on the other hand, and national minded leaders thinkers have regarded it as a planned and organised olitical and military rising aimed at destroying the British power in India. Mr. Sawarkar’s is an attempt to look at the incidents of 1857 from the Indian point of view. A leading revolutionary himself, was attracted and inspired by the burning zeal, the heroism, bravery, suffering and tragic fate of the leaders of 1857, and he decided to re-interpret the story and to relate it in full with the help of all the material available to him at the time. He spent days and months at the India Office Library studying the period. Finally, his work was published in 1909, under the title “The Indian War of Independence –1857”. The full story of its publication and eventual fate is related, at length, elsewhere in this volume. We shall only mention here that its entry into India was banned by the Government even before it was published. This ban was finally lifted by the Congress Government of Bombay in May 1946, and this is the first authorised edition of the book to be published in India. As the publishers of this edition we take here the opportunity of recording our sense of gratitute to Mr.G.M.Joshi, editor of the Marathi weekly journal Agrani, for making this work available to us, and for his continued interest in it while it was going through the press.

  • What Really Happened During the Mutiny a Day-By-Day Account of the Major Events of 1857-1859 in India
    Pakistan Perspectives Vol. 12, No. 2, July-December 2007 What Really Happened During the Mutiny A Day-by-Day Account of the Major Events of 1857-1859 in India P.J.O. Taylor Selection by Mubarak Ali Pre-1857 It is inappropriate, and would be historically inaccurate, to dismiss the Mutiny in 1857 of the Bengal Army of the Honorable East India Company as an isolated phenomenon, or, for that matter, to attempt to categorise it as of purely military significance. JANUARY-MARCH 1857 January At the beginning of this year the East India Company had a composite force of European and Indian troops to guard its interests in India, by a coincidence the European troops were abnormally below establishment. This month saw the beginning of the phenomenon known as the ‘passing of the chapaties.’ These small unleavened cakes circulated through certain districts of the North West Provinces, no attempt was made to hide the matter, indeed many were brought to British officers and an explanation sought as to their meaning. The latter is still not clear, but it may be that it was a signal sent by those intending revolt; the pattern was fairly similar the chowkidar (village watchman) would receive two (or one) chapaties. With instruction to make ten (or six) more and distribute them two by two or one by one to neighboring villages. Rather like a chain letter the ‘news’ (though no one knew what it was) spread like wildfire. Some villagers in fact thought it was Government that was circulating the chapaties. P.J.O.

    ﻣﺠﻠﺔ دراﺳﺎت دﻳﺴﻤﺒﺮ 2015 British Intervention in Afghanistan and its Aftermath (1838-1842) Mehdani Miloud * and Ghomri Tedj * Tahri Mohamed University ( Bechar ) Abstract The balance of power that prompted the European powers to the political domination and economic exploitation of the Third World countries in the nineteenth century was primarily due to the industrialization requirements. In fact, these powers embarked on global expansion to the detriment of fragile states in Africa, South America and Asia, to secure markets to keep their machinery turning. In Central Asia, the competition for supremacy and influence involved Britain and Russia, then two hegemonic powers in the region. Russia’s steady expansion southwards was to cause British mounting concern, for such a systematic enlargement would, in the long term, jeopardize British efforts to protect India, ‘the Crown Jewel.’ In their attempt to cope with such contingent circumstances, the British colonial administration believed that making of Afghanistan a buffer state between India and Russia, would halt Russian expansion. Because this latter policy did not deter the Russians’ southwards extension, Britain sought to forge friendly relations with the Afghan Amir, Dost Mohammad. However, the Russians were to alter these amicable relations, through the frequent visits of their political agents to Kabul. This Russian attitude was to increase British anxiety to such a degree that it developed to some sort of paranoia, which ultimately led to British repeated armed interventions in Afghanistan. Key Words: British, intervention, Afghanistan, Great Game Introduction The British loss of the thirteen colonies and the American independence in 1883 moved Britain to concentrate her efforts on India in which the East India Company had established its foothold from the beginning of the seventeenth century up to the Indian Mutiny (1857).

  • English Or Anglo-Indian?: Kipling and the Shift in the Representation of the Colonizer in the Discourse of the British Raj
    English or Anglo-Indian?: Kipling and the Shift in the Representation of the Colonizer in the Discourse of the British Raj Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Catherine Elizabeth Hart, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Clare Simmons, Advisor Jill Galvan Amanpal Garcha Pranav Jani Copyright by Catherine Elizabeth Hart 2012 Abstract Using Rudyard Kipling as the focal point, my dissertation examines nineteenth- century discourse on English identity and imperialism through literature of the British Raj written in the 1840s through the 1930s. In my analysis of this literature, I identify a shift in the representation of the colonizer between English and Anglo-Indian in four distinct historical moments: pre-Rebellion (1857), post-Rebellion, the fin de siècle, and post- World War I. While the term Anglo-Indian can be used as a simple means of categorization—the Anglo-Indian is the English colonizer who lives in and conducts imperial work in India as opposed to one of the other British colonies—it also designates a distinct cultural identity and identifies the extent to which the colonizer has been affected by India and imperialism. As such, the terms Anglo-Indian and English, rather than being interchangeable, remain consistently antithetical in the literature with one obvious exception: the Kipling canon. In fact, it is only within the Kipling canon that the terms are largely synonymous; here, the Anglo-Indian colonizer is represented not only as a positive figure but also as a new and improved breed of Englishman.

Benmoussat Smail Examiner Tlemcen Dr. Dani Fatiha Examiner Oran 1 Dr. Meberbech Fewzia Examiner Tlemcen 2015-2016 Dedication To my daughter Nardjes (Nadjet) . Abstract The British loss of the thirteen colonies upon the American independence in 1783 moved Britain to concentrate her efforts on India. Lying between the British and Russian empires as part of the Great Game, Afghanistan grew important for the Russians, for it constituted a gateway to India. As a result, the British wanted to make of Afghanistan a buffer state to ward off a potential Russian invasion of India. Because British-ruled India government accused the Afghan Amir of duplicity, she intervened in Afghanistan in 1838 to topple the Afghan Amir, Dost Mohammad and re-enthrone an Afghan ‗puppet‘ king named Shah Shuja. The British made their second intervention in Afghanistan (1878-1880) because the Anglo-Russian rivalry persisted. The result was both the annexation of some of the Afghans‘ territory and the confiscation of their sovereignty over their foreign policy. Unlike the British first and second interventions in Afghanistan, the third one, even though short, was significant because it was instigated by the Afghan resistance. Imbued with nationalist and Pan-Islamist ideologies, the Afghans were able to free their country from the British domination.

For the provincial literati, emphasizing Bihar as an “organic” entity cultivated a sense of common belonging that was remarkably novel for the period, particularly because it implied that an administrative region had transformed into a cohesive cultural unit. The transformation is particularly revealing because the claims to a “natural” Bihar was not based upon a distinctive language, ethnicity or religion. Instead this regional assertion was partially instigated by British colonial politics and in part shaped by an emergent Indian national imagination. The emergence of a place-based Bihari identity therefore can only be explained by situating it in the context of 19th century colonial politics and nationalist sentiments.
