Описание: In the latter part of the nineteenth century,the royal status of Indian princes was under threat in what became a critical period of transition from traditional to imperial rule.Weakened by treaties concluded with the British earlier in the century,the rulers were subject to a concentrated campaign by British officials to turn palace life into a westernised construct of morality,rules and regulations.Young heirs to the throne were exposed to a western education to encourage their enthusiasm for changes in the princely environment.At the same time bureaucracies constructed on the British Indian model were introduced to promote'good government'.In many cases,royal practice and authority were sacrificed in the urgency to install efficient and accountable methods of administration.Adult rulers were frequently sidelined in the intricacies of state politics and the traditional princely power base was steadily eroded. Using the framework of a princely life-cycle,this book evaluates British policy towards the princes during the period 1858-1909.Within this framework Caroline Keen examines disputed successions to Indian thrones,the reaction of young rulers to a western education, princely marriages and the empowerment of royal women,the administration of states,and efforts to alter court hierarchy and ritual to conform to strict British bureaucratic guidelines.A recurring theme is the frequently incompatible relationship between British officials posted to the states and their superiors within the Government of India. Rarely examined archival material is used to provide a detailed analysis of policy-making which deals with British procedure at all levels of officialdom. For scholars and researchers of South Asian and British imperial history this book casts new light upon a highly significant phase of imperial development and makes a major contribution to the understanding of the operation of indirect rule under the Raj.

Описание: Ian Copland`s aim in this book is to explain why, during the colonial period, the erstwhile Indian `princely` states experienced per capita significantly less Muslim-Sikh and Muslim-Hindu communal violence than the provinces of British India, and how the enviable situation of the states in this respect became eroded over time.

Описание: This book presents an English-language translation of Ris?l?-yi Mu??n?ya, or the Mu??n?ya Epistle. Ris?l?-yi Mu??n?ya is one of the earliest known works of Na??r al-D?n ??s? (1201–1274), an intellectual luminary of the 13th century CE. The work is notable for the choice of T?u?s?’s native Persian as the language of the text. In addition, T?u?s? organized his volume into a four-part structure, which went on to become a popular template for the Islamic astronomers who succeeded him. This book helped ensure the patronage of T?u?s?'s courtly patrons during his decades-long stay with the Isma??l?s, as well as the continuation of his remarkable career under the first Ilkhanid rulers of Persia. This translation helps make this notable treatise accessible to English language readers. It is among a handful of English translations of major astronomical works dealing with hay’a/cosmography in the Islamic world. Subsequently T?u?s? was to pen his own commentary on the work (the ?all-i Mushkil?t-i Mu??n?ya, or A solution to the difficulties of the Mu??n?ya) and he used this occasion to discuss his celebrated mathematical formulation “the T?u?s? Couple” (a concept that he merely hinted at in the Ris?l?-yi Mu??n?ya).
