Explanation:
British Raj has no doubt bequeathed a few assets – both tangible and intangible – not least notably the language in which i pen my thoughts here. Nevertheless, one must also acknowledge that it had many tragically deleterious consequences. Estimates vary, but between 40 to 60 million Indians died in famines callously engineered by British Raj administrators; history records that famines were relatively rare prior to British rule.
Famines may well be behind us, but other insidious effects of colonialism continue to bedevil us. George Orwell had said, “The most effective way to destroy a people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” Sadly, colonial historical perspectives prevail due to ideological leanings of many post-Independence Indian historians. I wrote in these columns recently (December 17, 2015) about the fiction of the ‘Aryan Invasion Theory’.
I will focus today on a subject brought to my attention by my brother-in-law, Himanshu, who is a passionate aficionado of Indian classical music. Take the image constructed by the British of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah. Sadly, many of us (except the Lucknowis) have either forgotten this Muslim ruler of Awadh or harbour the British impression of him as a decadent, cross-dressing oddity. This is a tragic humiliation of a great son of India.
