Synopsis

Language: - English, This volume contains wideranging surveys of various aspects of the history of Awadh from its position as a province of the Mughal Empire to a successor state, a semicolony under the Nawabi regime, the British annexation and the resistance in 1857. The manner of Mughal administration, the emergence of the class of taluqadars, the Company’s constant pressure on the Nawabi regime, the cultural and agrarian milieu of a religious establishment, the bibliography of a scholarly rebel of 1857 all bring home to the reader different facets of the historical personality of Awadh. The studies form an important complement (and corrective) to much of current historical writing of Awadh.
