This comprehensive volume delves into the highly significant trial of Bahadur Shah, a pivotal moment in the 19th-century colonial history of India. The trial of Emperor Bahadur Shah, de jure power by de facto claimant to power, the English East India Company, raises the contentious issue of sovereignty. Since the proceedings commenced, there has been considerable confusion and controversy surrounding the trial, with its primary architects unable to definitively determine whether it was a juristic trial, a court of enquiry, a court-martial, or a general enquiry. This book aims to shed light on this event by presenting the original, unprinted manuscript of the Trial at the conclusion of the 1857 uprising. Through a critical investigation of the trial's architecture, grammar, functioning, and findings from historical, political, and juridical perspectives, the book seeks to ascertain, to the greatest extent possible, the actual position of Emperor Bahadur Shah, his strengths, and his weaknesses. Furthermore, it examines the Rebellion of 1857, particularly in Delhi, and Bahadur Shah's role therein.
A seminal work on justice in colonial history, this volume holds immense interest for researchers and scholars of colonial and imperial history, modern history, political theory, and South Asia studies. It is also of great value to general readers with an interest in understanding the colonization of India by the British and its commercial arm, the East India Company.
