PRINTBIl '1'0 THE UNIYBRSITY PREFACE - THE following list represents the works of the last century which I have consulted to write this Life of LoTd Clive: Orme's History of I'1ldostan (original edition); The Siya'I"U-Z Muta-akherin of Ghulam Husain Khan (Review of Modem Times), translated copy; Cam­ bridge's War in India (containing the Journal of Stringer Lawrence); The Memoir of Dupleir£ (in French); Grose's Voyage to the East Indies; Ive's Voyage and Historica1 N a1'1'ative; Transactiona in Indiafrom the commencement of the French War in 1756 (published in 1786); Caraccioli's Life of Lord Clive; Vanaittart's N a1'1'ative of the Transactions in Bengal; Ironside's Narrative of the Military Transactions in Bengal in 1760-1; Verelst's English Government in Bengal; some numbers of the Atriatic Annual Register; Kindersley's Letters; and Scrafton's Letters; and, for the earlier period­ that displaying the period immediately preceding and following the dawn of genius-the recently written extracts from the Madras records by Mr. G. W. Forrest. Of works of scarcely less value published during the present century, I have consulted the admirable volumes by Colonel Mark Wilks, which bring the History of Southern India down to the storming of Seringapatam in 1 799; The Journal ofCaptai'n Dalto'n, 6 PREFACE one of the heroes of Trichinopoli, written at the period of Clive's early victories, but only given to the world, with a memoir of his career, in .1886; Lord Stanhope's History of England; Malcolm's Life of Olive; and above a.ll, that mine of wealth to a searcher into the details of Clive's services in Bengal, Colonel Broome's History of the Bengal .A'l"my. Colonel Broome was my intimate and'valued friend. He knew more about. the history of the rise of the English in India than. any man I ever met. He :\lad made the subject a life­ study. He had read every tract, however (lId, every. letter, however difficult to decipher, every record of the period up ~o and beyond the time of Job Charnock, and he was a past-master of his subject. He had col­ lected an enormous mass of materials, the more bulky of which were dispersed at his untimely death. But I have seen and handled them, and I can state most positively, from my own knowledge, that every item of importance culled from them is contained in the a,dmirable volume to which I have referred;and which was published in' 1850. There is, alas, only that volume. Colonel Broome had set apart a vast mass of materials for his second, and had resolved to complete the.work at Simla, to which place he was proceeding for the summer of, I think, 1870. But, in the course' of transit, the box containing the materials was myste­ riously spirited away, and I have not heard that it was ever found. From the nature of the documents collected I cannot but regard the loss as irreparable. G. B. MALLESoN. CONTENTS - CIIAP. PAGES L EABLy YEABS • 9-J 5 II. SoUTIIlIBB INDIA. ur 17# 16-3. m.

    Hungry Bengal: War, Famine, Riots, and the End of Empire 1939-1946 By Janam Mukherjee A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology and History) In the University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor Barbara D. Metcalf, Chair Emeritus Professor David W. Cohen Associate Professor Stuart Kirsch Associate Professor Christi Merrill 1 "Unknown to me the wounds of the famine of 1943, the barbarities of war, the horror of the communal riots of 1946 were impinging on my style and engraving themselves on it, till there came a time when whatever I did, whether it was chiseling a piece of wood, or burning metal with acid to create a gaping hole, or cutting and tearing with no premeditated design, it would throw up innumerable wounds, bodying forth a single theme - the figures of the deprived, the destitute and the abandoned converging on us from all directions. The first chalk marks of famine that had passed from the fingers to engrave themselves on the heart persist indelibly." 2 Somnath Hore 1 Somnath Hore. "The Holocaust." Sculpture.

  • This Essay Explains Benjamin Disraeli Parliamentary Response to The
    Conservatism and British imperialism in India: finding the local roots of empire in Britain and India by Matthew Stubbings A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 © Matthew Stubbings 2015 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public ii Abstract This thesis explores the importance of political conservatism in shaping the ideological and political foundations of British imperialism in India between 1857 and 1914. From the Indian Revolt to the rise of Indian nationalism, it examines how British and Indian conservatives attempted to define a conceptual and institutional framework of empire which politically opposed liberal imperialism to the First World War. It relies upon a biographical analysis to examine how intellectual configurations defined distinct political positions on Indian empire. This study reveals the extent that local conservative inclination and action, through political actors such as Lord Ellenborough, Benjamin Disraeli, Lord Mayo, Lord Lytton, the Kathiawar States, Roper Lethbridge, and M.M. Bhownaggree, shaped public and partisan discourse on empire. It argues that British and Indian conservatives evoked shared principles centered in locality, prescription, and imagination to challenge, mollify, and supplant the universal and centralizing ambitions of liberal imperialists and nationalists with the employment of pre-modern ideas and institutions. It is argued that this response to liberalism conditioned their shared contribution and collaboration towards an imperial framework predicated principally upon respecting and supporting local autonomy and traditional authority in a hierarchical and divided India.

  • ANCIENT RIGHTS and FUTURE COMFORT Bihar, the Bengal
    LONDON STUDIES ON SOUTH ASIA NO. 13 ANCIENT RIGHTS AND FUTURE COMFORT Bihar, the Bengal Tenancy Act of 1885, and British Rule in India P.G. Robb School of Oriental and African Studies, London This book was published in 1997 by Curzon Press, now Routledge, and is reproduced in this repository by permission. The deposited copy is from the author’s final files, and pagination differs slightly from the publisher’s printed version. Therefore the index is not included. © Peter Robb 1997 All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reprinted or reproduced or utilised in any form without written permission from the publishers. ISBN 0-7007-0625-9 FOR ELIZABETH Ancient rights and future comfort This book analyses the character of British rule in nineteenth- century India, by focusing on the underlying ideas and the practical repercussions of agrarian policy. It argues that the great rent law debate and the Bengal Tenancy Act of 1885 helped constitute a revolution in the aims of government and in the colonial ability to interfere in India, but that they did so alongside a continuing weakness of understanding and ineffective local control. In particular, the book considers the importance of notions of historical rights and economic progress to the false categorisations made of agrarian structure. It shows that the Tenancy Act helped create political interests on the land and contributed to a growth of the state, fostering a national or public interest in India. But it also led to widening social disparities in rural Bihar, allowing individual property rights to exaggerate the inequities of a more collective socio-economic system.

  • Imperial Hops: How Beer Traveled the World, Especially to Asia Jeffrey M
    Imperial Hops: How Beer Traveled the World, Especially to Asia Jeffrey M. Pilcher This is a very preliminary discussion of a book I hope to write on the globalization of beer. The first section outlines the literature and my research plan as sort of a first draft of a grant proposal intended to convince some funding agency to pay for me to travel the world drinking beer. The rest of the paper illustrates some of these ideas with three Asian case studies. I started with Asia in response to an invitation to participate in a recent SSRC Interasia Workshop in Istanbul and because the languages and meager secondary literature make it the hardest part of the project to research. There are mostly questions where the conclusions should be, and I welcome all suggestions. In June of 2013, Turkish crowds gathered in Istanbul’s Taksim Square to protest the growing authoritarianism of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Refusing to surrender their democratic freedoms, they opened bottles of Efes Pilsner and raised mock toasts to the tee-totaling Islamist politician: “Cheers, Tayyip!”1 The preference for European-style beer, rather than the indigenous, anise-flavored liquor arak, illustrates the complex historical movements that have shaped global consumer culture, and at times, political protests. Turkish entrepreneurs founded the Efes brewery in 1969, less than a decade after guest workers first began traveling to Germany and returning home with a taste for lager beer.2 This brief episode illustrates both the networks of migration, trade, and colonialism that carried European beer around the world in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the new drinking cultures that emerged as a result.

    The 1st International Conference of the Indian Association of Scottish Studies (IASS) supported with grants of Rs. 1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh Only) from the Indian Council of Social Science Research, New Delhi on Negotiating Scottish Studies: History, Culture and Identity was held between 06 to 08 January 2016 at Bankura University, Bankura, West Bengal, India. The collaborative partners of the conference were British Council, Kolkata; Bankura University, Bankura, WB; Edinburgh Napier University, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK; University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland, UK; Kingston University, London, UK; The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK; Association of Scottish Literary Studies; Cambridge University Press, India; West Bengal State Council of Higher Education, Kolkata, West Bengal &K.N.

Proceedings of Seminar The 1st International Conference of the Indian Association of Scottish Studies (IASS) on Negotiating Scottish Studies: History, Culture and Identity was held between 06 to 08 January 2016 at Bankura University, Bankura, West Bengal, India. Prof Ian Brown, Kingston University, London delivered the Keynote address. His keynote considered the ways in which attitudes to the study of Scottish literature have changed in the decades, and how those changes have interacted with wider contexts of social, cultural and political life. It set those changes in the framework of developing attitudes to the teaching of history in Scotland and the changes that have taken place in the United Kingdom – its politics and self-perception – over that period. It also related the development of the teaching of Scottish literature and history to academic methodologies in many areas of research, learning and teaching given the generic title ‘Studies’: 'American Studies', 'Gender Studies', 'Film Studies’ and so on.

  • Salt Satyagraha the Watershed
    I VOLUME VI Salt Satyagraha The Watershed SUSHILA NAYAR NAVAJIVAN PUBLISHING HOUSE AHMEDABAD-380014 MAHATMA GANDHI Volume VI SALT SATYAGRAHA THE WATERSHED By SUSHILA NAYAR First Edition: October 1995 NAVAJIVAN PUBLISHING HOUSE AHMEDABAD 380014 MAHATMA GANDHI– Vol. VI | www.mkgandhi.org The Salt Satyagraha in the north and the south, in the east and the west of India was truly a watershed of India's history. The British rulers scoffed at the very idea of the Salt March. A favourite saying in the barracks was: "Let them make all the salt they want and eat it too. The Empire will not move an inch." But as the Salt Satyagraha movement reached every town and village and millions of people rose in open rebellion, the Empire began to shake. Gandhi stood like a giant in command of the political storm. It was not however only a political storm. It was a moral and cultural storm that rose from the inmost depths of the soul of India. The power of non-violence came like a great sunrise of history. ... It was clear as crystal that British rule must give way before the rising tide of the will of the people. For me and perhaps for innumerable others also this was at the same time the discovery of Gandhi and our determination to follow him whatever the cost.

  • Transcription of Foreign Tongues
    V.-TRANSCRIPTION OF FOREIGN TONGUES. By L. C. WHARTOK. [Read at the dleeting of the Philological rSociety on Friday, Dee. 4, 1925.1 TRANSCRIPTIONis made necessary for one sole reason, the absence of a single universally accepted alphabet, which would obviate all but a small portion of the problem which we have before us. How, for instance, is anyone to refer to events in world-history even in the most cursory and popular way if he is to avoid con- fusing his readers by using forms like “ Meer JaEer ” when quoting Macaulay and “ Mir Dschaffir ” when citing a German contemporary of Macaulay’s. Compare Erskine and Areskine with their nltmerous variants. How, too, is Hertzen, the son of the great Russian writer Iskender (Aleksandr Gertsen) to be perceived to belong to the same family as his father ? I have so far avoided quoting anything in foreign scripts and hope to avoid it in this the first part of my paper, reserving the bulk of it for the critical part. There are, then, certain purposes for which transcription is necessary; I group these under the following five heads, first remarking that I am quite deliberately postponing to a later stage the discussion of the distinction between transliteration and transcription. Now these five groups are as follows:- (a) bibliographical, (b) connected with library catalogues, (c) similarly connected with documentation, (d) connected with historical and other scientific (e.g. phonetic) research, and lastly (e) commercial. If I may, I will justify the addition of this last group first, though some may wish to classify my illustration under Documentation.
