Indo-Burma Frontier and the Making of the Chin Hills Empire and Resistance

Indo-Burma Frontier and the Making of the Chin Hills Empire and Resistance

This book examines the British colonial expansion in the so-called unadministered hill tracts of the Indo-Burma frontier and the change of colonial policy from non-intervention to intervention. The book begins with the end of the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824–26) which resulted in the British annexation of the North-Eastern Frontier of Bengal and the extension of its sway over the Arakan and Manipur frontiers and closes with the separation of Burma from India in 1937. The volume documents the resistance of the indigenous hill peoples to colonial penetration; administrative policies such as disarmament; subjugation of the local chiefs under a colonial legal framework and its impact; standardisation of ‘Chin’ as an ethnic category for the fragmented tribes and sub-tribes; and the creation and consolidation of the Chin Hills District as a political entity to provide an extensive account of British relations with the indigenous Chin/Zo community from 1824 to 1935. By situating these within the larger context of British imperial policy the book makes a critical analysis of the British approach towards the Indo-Burma frontier. With its coverage of key archival sources and literature this book will interest scholars and researchers in modern Indian history military history colonial history British history South Asian history and Southeast Asian history. | Indo-Burma Frontier and the Making of the Chin Hills Empire and Resistance

Beyond Macaulay Education in India 1780–1860

Beyond Macaulay Education in India 1780–1860

Beyond Macaulay provides a radical and comprehensive history of Indian education in the early colonial era — from the establishment of the Calcutta Madrasa in 1780 until the end of the East India Company’s rule and the beginning of the administration by the crown in 1860. The book challenges the conventional theory that the British administration imposed English language and modern education on Indians. Based on rich archival evidence it critically explores data on 16 000 indigenous schools and shows that indigenous education was not oral informal and Brahmin-centric but written formal and egalitarian. The author highlights the educational policies of the colonial state and the way it actively opposed the introduction of modern education and privileged Brahmins. By including hitherto unused 41 Educational Minutes of Macaulay the volume examines his educational ideas and analyses why the colonial state closed down every school established by him. It also contrasts the educational ideas of the British elites and the Orientalists with dissenting Scottish voices. The book discusses post-Macaulayan educational policies and the Wood’s Despatch of 1854 as well as educational institutions during the revolt of 1857. It covers indigenous education in Sanskrit Persian Arabic and modern Indian vernaculars the impact of the colonial policies on these schools and traces the history of education in Bengal North India and Madras and Bombay Presidencies as also the role of caste and religion in society. This book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of education history of education Indian history South Asian history colonial history sociology political history and political science. | Beyond Macaulay Education in India 1780–1860
