Of course, it's unlikely that an administrator per excellence like Sleeman would follow the primrose path of literature. But he could do with some more anecdotes and daily tot-bits to make the pages more racy and readable. Without doubt, his keen observstions had been found handy by a generation of young administrators. But the general reader may sigh at the lost opportunity and be just a tad disappointed.

  • Il Ritorno Dei Thugs. Ancora Su Trasformazioni Discorsive E Identità Sociali
    Il ritorno dei Thugs. Ancora su trasformazioni discorsive e identità sociali Francesco Benigno Nell’intricata giungla del Sunderbans, quell’enorme e fitta foresta che avviluppa il delta del Gange, Tremal-Naik, il cacciatore di serpenti, e il suo fedele maharatto Kamma- muri aspettano, nascosti dalle fronde, l’arrivo dei Thugs, i famigerati strangolatori. Li avevano avvistati poco pri- ma, in una radura: una quarantina di uomini, tutti quasi nudi, coperti solo dal dugbah, specie di sottanino color ocra, assiepati all’ombra di un gigantesco banyan. Attor- no alla vita portano un «laccio di seta, sottile anzi che no». Tremal-Naik, per vendicare l’uccisione del disgraziato compagno Hurti, aveva sparato, e ucciso uno di loro. Ora, infrattati nella vegetazione, i due compagni d’avventura attendono, mentre echeggiano le cupe note del ramsinga, che essi si appalesino; per il terrore di Kammamuri, certo della loro implacabile vendetta: «Sono spiriti, padrone». Al che Tremal-Naik replica freddamente: «Io credo che sieno uomini. Taci, e guardati ben d’attorno». Scena e dialogo, tratti da Gli strangolatori del Gange, versione originale de I misteri della jungla nera, di Emilio Salgari1, sono un eccellente introibo alla discussione che verrà presentata in queste pagine intorno alla «vera natu- ra» dei Thugs2. Per lungo tempo si è chiamata con questo nome una setta criminale di strangolatori di professione 1 Gli strangolatori del Gange, terzo romanzo d’appendice di Salgari, dopo La tigre della Malesia (1883) e La favorita del Mahdi (1884), apparve come feuilleton in 77 puntate su «Il telefono» di Livorno nel 1887.

  • Early Encounters with Ethnography in Os Brahamanes*1 Dentro Do Seu Papel – Primeiros Encontros Com a Etnografia No Romance Os Brahamanes
    In keeping with character – early encounters with ethnography in Os brahamanes*1 Dentro do seu papel – primeiros encontros com a etnografia no romance Os brahamanes ROCHELLE PINTO**2 Resumo: Este ensaio propõe ler o primitivo romance indiano não enquanto desenvolvimento secundário face aos modelos da representação empírica, ou enquanto imitação imperfeita dos modelos literários europeus, mas antes rastrear a forma como tais influências geraram estruturas internas ao romance, o que aconteceu em simultâneo com outros gêneros da escrita e da representação. Os brahamanes, de Francisco Luís Gomes, marca um encontro entre o romance colonial e a etnografia, antes de o realismo se ter tornado a manifestação dominante da descrição empírica no romance. A obra absorve e antecipa o trabalho da etnografia em solidificar concepções de entidade política nacional, abrindo-se a possibilidade de examinar um continuum de estratégias narrativas entre o relatório e o romance. Palavras-chave: Goa, etnografia, Francisco Luís Gomes, raça, casta Abstract: This essay suggests that instead of seeing the early novel in India as a secondary development to empirical representation, or as a flawed imitation of European literary models, studies can profitably trace how these influences generated structures internal to the novel, as it emerged simultaneously with other genres of writing and representation. Os brahamanes by Francisco Luís Gomes marks an encounter between the early colonial novel and ethnography, before realism became the dominant manifestation of empirical description in the novel. The novel absorbs and anticipates the work of ethnography in petrifying conceptions of an Indian polity and opens up the possibility of examining a continuum of narrative strategies between the report and the novel.

  • Thuggee and Sati Revisited: the Persistence of the Colonial Gaze in the Merchant Ivory Film the Deceivers
    Artha J Soc Sci, 15, 3 (2016), 21-40 ISSN 0975-329X|https://doi.org/10.12724/ajss.38.2 Thuggee and Sati Revisited: The Persistence of the Colonial Gaze in the Merchant Ivory Film the Deceivers Mini Mark Bonjour* Abstract Films on Indian themes made by western filmmakers have often been ridden with stereotypes and clichés. The wave of Raj films that came out of British and American production companies in the years since India‟s independence have largely been nostalgia-driven, and they almost invariably end up exoticising the region. However, with regard to films made by the non- Hollywood film company named Merchant-Ivory Productions, audiences had come to expect more sophisticated and nuanced treatments of themes drawn from Indian history. This paper examines one of their films, The Deceivers, which deals with the twin themes of Thuggee and Sati. The discussion of the filmis set against the broader context of the literature and cinema spawned by Western interest in the Raj era. While it is certainly more aesthetically sophisticated than the Hollywood type of Raj films, The Deceivers nevertheless falls short of engaging with the complexities of 19th century India in any meaningful way and is especially blind to the tendency of colonial propaganda to criminalise entire ethnic groups. Such attempts at cross-cultural representation are nevertheless valuable from a * Assistant Professor, Department of English, St. Joseph‟s College, Bengaluru, India; [email protected] 21 Artha J Soc Sci ISSN 0975-329X pedagogic point of view in the specific context of postcolonial approaches in the humanities classrooms in our colleges.

  • From Criminals to Caretakers: the Salvation Army in India, 1882-1914
    FROM CRIMINALS TO CARETAKERS: The Salvation Army in India, 1882-1914 A dissertation presented by Emily A. Berry to The Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of History Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts December 2008 1 Abstract The British Empire of the late-nineteenth century represents the pinnacle of European imperialism. The nature of British colonialism was complicated, however, and nowhere more so than in India, England’s most prized colony. My dissertation examines the role of Protestant missionaries within this British imperial endeavor. Through a case study of the Salvation Army’s work in India, I illustrate the complexity of the relationship between missionaries and the colonial government. I address connections between the metropole and the peripheries of the Empire, while exploring the nature and influence of Protestant Christianity both at home and abroad. In England as well as India, the Salvation Army both reflected nineteenth-century British culture and challenged its norms of propriety, religious worship, and service. The Salvationists in India had a particularly complex and dynamic relationship with imperial authorities. Initially perceived as a threat to the peace of the Empire, the first missionaries in India faced legal persecutions, but over time the Salvationists actually became agents of empire. Through a variety of social service projects the organization proved its utility to imperial authorities and became the recipient of government subsidies. Most notably, the Salvationists collaborated with colonial police to create settlements for members of the so-called criminal tribes of India. My work emphasizes the influence of Commissioner Frederick Booth-Tucker on the Salvation Army’s complex interaction with the Indian Raj.

I know the government advice is now to Keep Alert, but I can see a lot of people still sticking to the Stay at Home advice. As people who regulary read my editorial, and I know you are out there, will know, I’m always banging on about the pace of life and people’s attitudes. I honestly think that although the day to day threat of Corona is obviously scary and heartbreaking, I am seeing amazing amounts of community spirit peaking through the cracks. People are reaching out to check that elderly neighbours are coping. Family and friends are keeping in contact with each other, just touching base to make sure that you don’t need any loo rolls!. I would hope that this change to our pace of life has also caused people to stop, breathe and think “Umm maybe I don’t need to be tearing around all the time.” I’ve taken to walking my elderly dog Zola down the lane. As you can imagine, the pace is nice and sedate, and I’ve actually watched a tree coming into leaf, every day a bit more unfurling. So, I think the message I’m trying to get across is “Head down, keep going, stay safe, be sensible and take time to enjoy life.” It’s certainly to be cherished!
