THE ZAMINDARS AND NAWABS OF BENGAL
Author: SAMIR GANGULIPublisher: Blue Rose Publishers
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
This book deals with the defiant resistance faced by Mughals from the Zamindars of Bengal for more than eighty years, the atrocities of the Nawabs of Bengal, and the false allegations on Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah by the British. History, during the Mughal period, was recorded by royal courtiers who wrote about the Emperors and Governors, exalting their victories and achievements. Rarely were the resistance of the Zamindars of Bengal recorded, if at all mentioned. The British contorted history to suit their schemes, denigrating and deriding the people of this country to justify colonial rule. The history of India, as taught to us, is not always a true depiction. It is the history of the foreigners who came and ruled India. The history has been repeatedly dressed up to suit their requirements. Facts have been misrepresented, misinterpreted or deliberately suppressed to serve the purpose of the ruler. The author has tried to present the occurrences in Bengal during the Mughal period from their correct perspective, through extensive research and cross-studies of many historians, both Indian and foreign, cross-vetting the truth and actuality.

English Writing and India, 1600-1920
Author: Pramod K. NayarPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134131496
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
This book explores the formations and configurations of British colonial discourse on India through a reading of prose narratives of the 1600-1920 period. Arguing that colonial discourse often relied on aesthetic devices in order to describe and assert a degree of narrative control over Indian landscape, Pramod Nayar demonstrates how aesthetics furnished a vocabulary and representational modes for the British to construct particular images of India. Looking specifically at the aesthetic modes of the marvellous, the monstrous, the sublime, the picturesque and the luxuriant, Nayar marks the shift in the rhetoric – from the exploration narratives from the age of mercantile exploration to that of the ‘shikar’ memoirs of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century’s extreme exotic. English Writing and India provides an important new study of colonial aesthetics, even as it extends current scholarship on the modes of early British representations of new lands and cultures.

Book Description
In 1812, Sir John Malcolm, a Lieutenant General in the British Army wrote A Sketch of the Sikhs , commonly believed to be the first account of the Sikhs written by a non-Sikh. In truth, soldiers, travellers, diplomats, missionaries and scholars had provided accounts for many years before. Drawing on this difficult-to-access material, the editors of this volume have compiled a unique source that offers a fascinating insight into the early developments in Sikh history. From the first ever written accounts of the Sikhs by Persian chroniclers of the Moghul Emperor to the travel diary of an Englishwoman, this volume contains material invaluable to those studying the evolution of the Sikh religion as well as to those interested in learning more about this major religion. It also provides an unparalleled look into the growth and solidification of the religious practices of Sikhs. At a time when the misunderstanding of the Sikh religion and those who practise it has reached new and deadly heights, this volume hopes to introduce a wider audience to the roots of its culture.
