ABSTRACT The theme taken for the Ph.D. thesis pertains to the regional studies during the 19th century in the Northern India entitled, “Participation of Muslim Women in the Socio-Cultural and Educational Activities in North India during the 19th Century”. The theme is gender specific and the topic has been taken keeping in view the Muslim women and their participation in the socio-cultural and educational activities. This is related to the study of a volatile century of the Indian History i.e., 19th Century North India. As this was the period of great transformation due to complete takeover of the British as a foreign power. So, the study could try to unravel the various facts of homogeneity and contradictions in the Indian society, particularly at the socio-cultural level in Northern India. The study relates to one of the most important locality which was Muslim dominated part of the present North India, and in that setting or environment, the study about the Muslim women, their participation, public life, their position in the society viz-a-viz., their male counterpart and the freedom they had or fulfilling their aspirations and dreams. The present study sheds light on the Muslim society and culture in northern India, especially in pre-19th century. Further, it highlighted the role of Muslim women in the 19th century, particularly in northern India. Not only the prominent royal ladies, but ladies from the elite class as well as the common women played a crucial role in the struggle against British colonial rule. The 19th Century was a period of general awakening in different countries of the world, in clouding India. Society, religion, culture, economic condition and political destiny of India received a new shape during this period as a result of the working of a number of forces, exotic as well as indigenous. The external forces were the growth of the British Empire accompanied with the gradual of the consolidation of a new administrative system making for unity and order, the influence of the scientific invention and discoveries, the stride of industrialism and the introduction of Western Education and also the ideas of the political philosophers and economists of the West. Internally, one has to note the potent influence of the splendid modern Indian Renaissance which being essentially a matter of the spirit has produced striking changes society, religion and culture. 1 The uplift of women has been one of the most valuable contributions of the Indian reformation of the19th century, so that they have now come forward to play dignified parts in different spheres of social and National life. In fact, the history of the Women’s Movement forms a very important and interesting topic of our modern history. I am not aware of any previous systematic attempt at historically tracing the genesis and early stages of this movement.

It describes all important aspects and features of the district; historical, physical, social, economic and cultural. Officials and other persons desirous of acquainting themselves with the salient features of the district would find a study of the Gazetteer rewarding. It is of immense use for research scholars.

These gazetteers have gone out of stock and are not easily available. There is a demand for these volumes by research scholars and educationists. As such, the scheme of reprinting of old gazetteers was taken on the initiative of the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Haryana.

    Atomic Energy Education Society Study material Class-VIII Subject- History Lesson 05-When People Rebel: 1857 and After Module- 2/2 Important points The Rebellion Spreads : The British had initially taken the revolt at Meerut quite lightly. But the decision by Bahadur Shah Zafar to support the rebellion had dramatically changed the entire situation. People were emboldened by an alternative possibility. The British were routed from Delhi, and for almost a week there was no uprising. The rebellion in Delhi took almost a week to spread as news over whole of the India. Many regiments mutinied one after another at various places such as Delhi, Kanpur and Lucknow. People of the towns and the villages also rose up in rebellion and rallied around local leaders. Zamindars and chiefs were prepared to establish their authority and fight the British. Nanasaheb Peshwa gathered armed forces and expelled the British garrison in Kanpur. He proclaimed himself the Peshwa. He declared that he was a governor under Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar. Birjis Qadr, the son of Nawab Wajid Ali shah, was proclaimed the new Nawab. He too acknowledged suzerainty of Bahadur Shah Zafar. Begum Hazrat Mahal took an active part in organizing the uprising against the British. In Jhansi, Rani Lakshmibai joined the rebel Sepoys and fought the British along with Tantia Tope. The General of Nana Saheb. Ahmadullah Shah a maulvi from Faizabad prophesied that the rule of the British would come to an end he caught the imagination of the people and raised a huge force of supporters.

  • Title: Women of Agency: the Penned Thoughts of Bengali Muslim
    Title: Women of Agency: The Penned Thoughts of Bengali Muslim Women Writers of 9th 20th the Late 1 and Early Century Submitted by: Irteza Binte-Farid In Fulfillment of the Feminist Studies Honors Program Date: June 3, 2013 introduction: With the prolusion of postcolornal literature and theory arising since the 1 9$Os. unearthing subaltern voices has become an admirable task that many respected scholars have undertaken. Especially in regards to South Asia, there has been a series of meticulouslyresearched and nuanced arguments about the role of the subaltern in contributing to the major annals of history that had previously been unrecorded, greatly enriching the study of the history of colonialism and imperialism in South Asia. 20th The case of Bengali Muslim women in India in the late l91 and early century has also proven to be a topic that has produced a great deal of recent literature. With a history of scholarly 19th texts, unearthing the voices of Hindu Bengali middle-class women of late and early 2O’ century, scholars felt that there was a lack of representation of the voices of Muslim Bengali middle-class women of the same time period. In order to counter the overwhelming invisibility of Muslim Bengali women in academic scholarship, scholars, such as Sonia Nishat Amin, tackled the difficult task of presenting the view of Muslim Bengali women. Not only do these new works fill the void of representing an entire community. they also break the persistent representation of Muslim women as ‘backward,’ within normative historical accounts by giving voice to their own views about education, religion, and society) However, any attempt to make ‘invisible’ histories ‘visible’ falls into a few difficulties.

I am happy to acknowledge that the university where I received my training in the period from 1933 to 1940 also provided the stimulus for its final completion. I am greatly indebted to the personal interest taken in my studies by professor Dr. W. F. Wertheim and Dr. J. M. Pluvier. Without their encouragement, their critical observations and their advice the result would certainly have been of less value than it may be now. The same applies to Mrs. Dr. S. C. L. Vreede-de Stuers, who was prevented only by ill-health from playing a more active role in the last phase of preparation of this thesis. I am also grateful to professor Dr. G. F.

Beside this personal and scholarly help I am indebted for assistance of a more technical character to the staff of the India Office Library and the India Office Records, and also to the staff of the Public Record Office, who were invariably kind and helpful in guiding a foreigner through the intricacies of their libraries and archives.

  • Muslim Historiography of the Pious Caliphate in British India (1857-1947)
    Journal of Historical Studies Vol. II, No. I (January-June 2016) Muslims Historiography of the Caliphate in the British India (1857-1947) Shumaila Firdous History College, Nanjing University, China Abstract: This study intends to analyze The Muslims’ Historiography of the Caliphate in British India (1857-1947). Muslim historiography from earlier period to nineteenth century passed through many stages which represents its changing nature and structure. In India, the Muslim historiography played a very important role in creating a separate Muslim identity. During the colonial period Muslims had to face a bulk of problems, but the intellectual challenge was the most important. Many Western Orientalists and Indian scholars had launch a move to alter the history writing, construct anti-Muslim heroism and challenge the historical narrative of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the early Muslim leadership. Although Muslims were also divided into two major sects (Shia, Sunni), they felt a need to respond intellectually and uniformly to the western intellectual challenges. That was the beginning of the modern Indian Muslim historiography with a re-constructionist and revisionist approach on the basis of modern logic, reason, tradition and through historical ideals. Three schools of thought came into existence, Rationalist/Modernist, Traditionalist/Orthodox and Idealist in India Muslim historiography. Every school follow a different a different approach to historiography. Shibli Naumani, Syed Ameer Ali, Moin ud din Nadvi, Akber Najeeb Aabadi, Aslam Jairajpuri, and Abdul Haleem Sharar’s has contributed in exemplary way, dealing with the history of Pious Caliphate, Umayyads, Abbasids and Spanish Muslim history as the golden era of Islam. This tendency contributed to the emergence of two nation theory and created a strong nationalism among the Muslims, subsequently that was the base of the ideology of Pakistan.

  • The Indian Title Badge: 1911-1947 Jim Carlisle, OMSA No
    The Journal of the Orders and Medals SocieW of America The Indian Title Badge: 1911-1947 Jim Carlisle, OMSA No. 5577 ing George V, on the occasion of the Delhi Durbar, Kintroduced the India Title Badge on 12 December 1911 to be conferred, as a symbol of honor and respect, on the holders of a title conferred by the King-Emperor. The Badge was a step-award in three classes given to civilians and Viceroy’s commissioned officers of the Indian Army for faithful service or acts of public welfare. Awards of the Badge began in January 1912. In many ways, the Badge is a cross between the Imperial Service Medal and the Kaisar-I-Hind. As with the Imperial Service Medal (ISM), it was awarded for long and faithful service to members of the civil and provincial services. Unlike the ISM it was also awarded to members of the military as well as to civilians not in the civil service. It was similar to the Kaisar-I-Hind in that there were three classes to the award as well as being awarded for service in India. Unlike the Kaisar-I- Hind, its award was restricted to non-Europeans. Unlike either of these awards, the India Title Badge also provided a specific title in the form of a personal distinction to the recipient. Specifics regarding the titles will be provided below. It is interesting to note that a title granted with the 1st India Title Badge, Class III- obverse Class of the Badge is identical to that granted to recipients of the Order of British India 1 st Class, Sardar Bahadur.
