Uprisings Against Colonialism in Jharkhand, 1830-1944: Heroes, Leaders and Followers

 
Abdul Azim Akhtar (Author) Madhav Nalapat (Foroward)
Synopsis

This volume is manifestation of the author's profound interest in Jharkhand, its history and its people. This book takes a fresh look at the imperial records and other available sources to trace the origin of popular uprisings in Jharkhand. It is not easy task to cover more than one century in one volume. Still, this work begins with the Kol uprisings and concludes three years before India met its destiny. After the Kol, and Santhal rebellions of the 19th century, it discusses the 1857 revolt in the region from a new perspective. For the first time, the importance of the Grand Trunk Road in the victory of the British army has been discussed. The author's look at this long stretch of road is sure to add to the existing debate about this important phase of national history. The author also challenges the existing norms by questioning the role of Rajas, Zamindars, Jagirdars, and Ghatwals who remained loyal to the British during the Revolt. His analysis of the role of Raja Arjun Singh of Porahat, and other rajas will be of interest to even common readers.
