The Bengal Army Mutiny of 1857: A South Asian Perspective
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Bengal Army mutiny of 1857 from the vantage point of Bengal itself — not the grand narrative of Delhi or Kanpur. They discuss the specific grievances of the sepoys in Bengal, the role of the 19th Native Infantry in Barrackpore, the execution of Mangal Pandey on March 29, 1857, and the spread of rebellion through Bengal's cantonments. They examine the British response: the disarming of regiments, the blowing from guns, and the loyalist stance of the Bengali intelligentsia, including the zamindars and the press. The episode also covers the little-known role of the 34th Native Infantry, the greased cartridge controversy as it played out in Dum Dum, and the impact of the mutiny on the future of the East India Company's rule in Bengal. The conversation ends with a reflection on how 1857 reshaped the administrative and military structure of the province.
