Delhi’s 1910 to 1916 erstwhile subject-cities —Lucknow and Hyderabad— had outgrown it too. Delhi lagged in literacy and medical facilities— only 3% of the population could read English. Few foreigners were drawn to it (Meerut had 2,162 while Delhi had 992). Its economy was heavily agrarian, and modern trades like power generation and news publishing had few takers. As a city, Delhi was way behind its time. For example, one of the occupational heads in the 1911 census LV³7R\NLWHFDJH¿VKLQJWDFNOHHWF makers, taxidermists etc”.

  • Kevin Milburn, Delhi Durbar Dress. in Derbyshire.Pdf
    Dr Kevin Milburn Delhi Durbar Dress. In Derbyshire. And so, with a final intense, some may say frantic, period of work, the prototype stage of our project has come to an end. All the archival work in London – such as at the British Film Institute, the National Portrait Gallery and nosing around inside Carlton House Terrace – is completed; the correspondence with American institutions, such as the Smithsonian and the Library of Congress, is over; the star-gazing at ‘celebrity’ authors and historians – step forward Owen Jones, Tristram Hunt and Kate Williams, all similarly beavering away in The British Library – is no more. All of which makes me a little sad. Following soon after that stage of the project, came the onset of the most recent editing phase, which has largely revolved around copy editing and proofing written texts for the app as well as audio/film scripts associated with it. However, in between hunter-gathering information and then giving it a bit of a polish (hopefully) came a rather jolly and extremely productive away-day, one that took me and Nicola away from this project’s more usual Exeter St. David’s-London Paddington axis, to the quiet foothills of the south-eastern corner of the Pennines, and, more specifically still, to Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire. Kedleston Hall, National Trust. Photograph: Kevin Milburn Dr Kevin Milburn Built in the mid-18th century by renowned architect Robert Adam to be the country seat of the Curzon family, Kedleston Hall is now a popular National Trust property. And it was here, that a group of enthusiastic, good hearted, shivering and, initially, blurry eyed, people, gathered to film and photograph − courtesy of 360 degree SpinMe technology − the most famous outfit associated with the subject of our app, Mary Curzon: the Peacock Dress.

HERALDS AT THE DELHI DURBARS Peter O 'Donoghue Three great imperial durbars took place on the Ridge outside Delhi during the height of the British Raj, on a site which was associated with the heroics of the Mutiny. The first durbar, in 1876-77, proclaimed Queen Victoria as Empress of India, whilst the second and third, in 1902-3 and 1911, proclaimed the accessions of Edward VII and George V respectively. All three drew upon Indian traditions of ceremonial meetings or durbars between rulers and ruled, and in particular upon the Mughal Empire's manner of expressing its power to its subject princes.

  • Pomp and Privation in Victorian India, Kapil Komireddi
    Pomp and Privation in Victorian India KAPIL KOMIREDDI This essay examines British colonial rule in late nineteenth-century India through the lens of two contemporaneous artefacts. Each vivifies a reality that complicates the message sought to be advanced by the other. The first artefact, a lavishly illustrated book commemorating the opulent Proclamation Durbar of 1877, clarifies the self-image of a benignant empire in India crafted by the colonial apparatus for audiences in Britain. The second, a photograph of starving children during the Great Famine of 1876-1878—through the course of which an estimated ten million Indians perished—conveys the experiences of the colonised peoples under the reign of Queen Victoria as she formally assumed the title of Empress of India. Pomp returned to Delhi on New Year’s Day of 1887, when the former capital of the Mughals, reduced only two decades before to nonentity by the British in retaliation for the Great Rebellion of 1857, hosted the most extravagant spectacle in the subcontinent’s living memory: the Proclamation Durbar.1 The principal function of the of the 1877 Durbar, at which Queen Victoria was formally proclaimed Kaiser-e-Hind,2 was the solemnisation, through elaborate ritual, of India’s reconfigured relationship to Britain. In choosing Delhi—a city ‘for ever bound up with the history of India’—as the site of the investiture ceremony, the British were seeking to project their rule as a continuation of, not a departure from, India’s past and traditions, which, after the Durbar, would become ‘interwoven with those of the English people’.3 The official history of the Durbar was published the same year in the form of a handsome book.

    82. Indian Subcontinent, 1750–1947 Tania Sengupta [CHAPTER KEYWORDS: India; Pakistan; Bangladesh; Burma; Ceylon (Sri Lanka); Britain; France; British Raj; prison; railway station; market (bazaar); bungalow; veranda; cutcherry (office); zilla sadar; cantonment; Neoclassicism; Indo-Saracenic; New Delhi; Edwin Lutyens] [CHAPTER ABSTRACT: The Indian subcontinent under colonial rule from the mid-eighteenth to mid-twentieth centuries witnessed the establishment of British economic and political dominance, suppressing other European powers, and consequently creating a long-term negative balance of the subcontinent’s trade with Europe and loss of its political sovereignty to Britain. Starting with Bengal around the mid-eighteenth century, the British gained territories across India, Ceylon and Burma over the nineteenth century. British colonial rule consisted of creating a ‘military fiscal’ state with agricultural revenues used to fund British wars worldwide. It also exploited cash cropping and plantation economies along with political control. In the full-blown imperial era (starting in 1858, following the Indian Mutiny of 1857), the colonial administration developed major institutions and other forms of infrastructure, accompanied by Victorian health and sanitary regimes, to organise and control its subjects’ lives. Following numerous peasant uprisings and increasingly including the middle classes, Nationalist resistance to British rule had intensified by the early twentieth century. This opposition, along with the war-impoverished British economy, finally led to the independence of the nations of the Indian subcontinent in the late 1940s. Colonial sociocultural encounter from the late eighteenth century involved the confrontation of European Enlightenment ideals with those prevalent in the Indian subcontinent. Early colonial travellers and Orientalists engaged in the study of Eastern cultures viewed the East as an exotic but decaying civilisation.
