Kanpur Unveiled
Author: Dr. Preeti Trivedi
Publisher: Bhartiya Sahitya Inc.
ISBN: 161301628X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
This study of the emergence of Cawnpore as an urban centre as a subjects of historical research may appear to be slightly unconventional. However as a student of history and a resident of Kanpur, I have reasons to justify it. Whatever the protagonists of small is beautiful or urbanization may say, the history of past two centuries points towards a constant growth of super cities and urban centres. These centres are seats of economic power as well as centers of natural and global power politics. It has been observed that many trends of national growth are more or less an extension of the growth of these urban centres. Thus a study of the urbanisation can give a basis for understanding the nation's growth in its true perspective and with all its ramifications. Political history at macro and micro level have been traditionally associated with policies of British government and resistance put up by Indians. Such studies do not provide a convincing account of the diverse socio-economic changes and forces governing the destiny of the people. Therefore this study focusses on the economic forces at micro level and analyses the economic and technological factors working behind them.

The 1857 Indian Uprising and the Politics of Commemoration
Author: Sebastian Raj Pender
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009059254
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
The Cawnpore Well, Lucknow Residency, and Delhi Ridge were sacred places within the British imagination of India. Sanctified by the colonial administration in commemoration of victory over the 'Sepoy Mutiny' of 1857, they were read as emblems of empire which embodied the central tenets of sacrifice, fortitude, and military prowess that underpinned Britain's imperial project. Since independence, however, these sites have been rededicated in honour of the 'First War of Independence' and are thus sacred to the memory of those who revolted against colonial rule, rather than those who saved it. The 1857 Indian Uprising and the Politics of Commemoration tells the story of these and other commemorative landscapes and uses them as prisms through which to view over 150 years of Indian history. Based on extensive archival research from India and Britain, Sebastian Raj Pender traces the ways in which commemoration responded to the demands of successive historical moments by shaping the events of 1857 from the perspective of the present. By telling the history of India through the transformation of mnemonic space, this study shows that remembering the past is always a political act.
