  • The Indian War of Independence”: the First
    FOR DISCUSSION ONLY. V.D.SAVARKAR’S “ THE INDIAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE”: THE FIRST NATIONALIST RECONSTRUCTION OF REVOLT OF 1857. Bhagwan Josh Centre for Historical Studies J.N.U. New Delhi. In India, History invariably evokes political passions in the public domain. One of the reasons for this is that the popular conception of history in the mass imagination continues to be an act of recognition and celebration of the spirit of selfless service, bravery and sacrifice on the part of individuals, families, castes, communities and political parties. History writing is considered as an important mode of appropriating, accumulating and constantly renewing “the cultural capital”, the durable stuff that goes into the making of contemporary political discourses in India. Savarkar’s “The Indian War of Independence” was an important book written in this tradition. In March, 2003, when a portrait of the Hindutva Hero Veer Savarkar in Parliament’s Central Hall was unveiled, the public opinion was sharply polarised between those who sang his praises and others who denounced him for his role in the Indian national movement and Gandhi murder. For his followers, Veer Savarkar(1883-1966) continues to be a figure of great reverence despite the fact that he was included as a co-conspirator in the assassination of Gandhi.: a patriot, prolific writer, historian, motivator, and above all an individual with a revolutionary faith in the motherland. The book was written originally in Marathi, in 1908, when Savarkar was about twenty-five years of age and was living in London. The English translation of the book was printed in Holland and a large number of copies were smuggled into India.

Tipu Sultan`s children were detained at the Vellore stronghold since 1799. One of Tipu Sultan`s little girls was to be hitched on July 9 1806. The plotters of the mutiny amassed at the fortress under the stratagem of going to the wedding. Two hours after 12 pm, on July 10, the sepoys (warriors) encompassed the fortification and killed the greater part of the British. The agitators seized control by sunrise and raised the banner of the Mysore Sultanate over the fortress. Tipu`s second child Fateh Hyder was proclaimed King. Notwithstanding, a British officer had gotten away and cautioned the battalion in Arcot. After nine hours, the British nineteenth Light Dragoons, driven by Colonel Gillespie and the Madras Cavalry entered the stronghold through entryways that had not been completely secured by the sepoys. The staying of the Vellore Mutiny was an inevitable end product. After the episode, the detained royals were exchanged to Calcutta.

    P.

R. CAREY THE SEPOY CONSPIRACY OF 1815 INJAVA Towards the end of the period of British mle in Java ( 1811-1816), during the last months of 1815, a far-reaching conspiracy was discovered amongst the Sepoy (British-Indian) ganisons at the Central Javanese courts. In this conspiracy, members of the Surakarta court were them- selves directly involved, and the success of the plot might have put the entire European administration of Java in jeopardy. The incident thus provides a fascinating insight int0 the state of kraton (court) politics in the Central Javanese kingdoms at the time as wel1 as illustrating the laxity in discipline and widespread disaffection which prevailed amongst the Sepoy troop towards their European officers some forty years before the great Indian Mutiny of 1857-58. Although the original documents relating to this affair are readily available in the volumes of the Bengal Secret and Political Consultations in the India Office Library (Londen); very little has been written about the affair in either the Dutch or English histories of the period. Some of the documents were indeed published by M. L. van Deventer and P. H. van der Kemp, whereas Raffles himself referred briefly to Sunan Pakubuwana IV's (1788-1820) connection with the Sepuys in the second volume of his History of Java, but these references provide only a very fleeting survey of this intriguing epi~ode.~This lack of information was later underlined by G.

  • Vellore Mutiny - 1806 [NCERT Notes on Modern Indian History for UPSC]
    UPSC Civil Services Examination UPSC Notes [GS-I] Topic: Vellore Mutiny - 1806 [NCERT Notes on Modern Indian History for UPSC] The Vellore Mutiny predated the Indian Revolt of 1857 by about 50 years. It erupted on 10th July 1806 in Vellore, present-day Tamil Nadu, and lasted only for a day, but it was brutal and shook the British East India Company. It was the first major mutiny by the Indian sepoys in the East India Company. This article talks about Vellore Mutiny, 1806. This topic is an important part of the NCERT notes relevant for the IAS aspirants. These notes will also be useful for other competitive exams like banking PO, SSC, state civil services exams and so on. Vellore Mutiny Causes The major causes for the Vellore mutiny are stated below: The English disregard to the religious sensitivities of the Hindu and Muslim Indian sepoys. Sir John Craddock, the Commander-in-Chief of the Madras Army had issued orders prohibiting soldiers from wearing religious marks on their foreheads and also to trim their moustaches and shave off their beards. This offended both Hindu and Muslim soldiers. They were also asked to wear new round hats instead of the traditional headgear that they were used to. This led to suspicion among the sepoys that they were being converted to Christianity. Craddock was acting against warning from the military board not to bring about changes in the military uniform without taking into consideration all required precautions of Indian sensibilities. A few sepoys who had protested against these new orders were taken to Fort St.
