Hardbound. Condition: As New. New. The National Congress Party in India started emerging with the closing of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth century. Many Indians stalwarts started raising their heads and questioning the British Raj about matters pertaining to the welfare of the Indians in and out of India several petitions were submitted to the British Government to stop emigration of indentured labour. The ill treatment and exploitation of Indian workers in the colonies were highlighted. Not that the Indians in India were being treated as first class citizens. Had the British started sharing power with the Indians history might have taken a different turn. By elevating one Indian to peerage and appointing a few odd ones on a few committees the British did not do justice by denying capable Indians of administrative posts of importance. India continued to be pestered by famine. The end and beginning of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and in 1900 the population was the almost the same as the census of 1890 inspite of a ten year gap where under normal circumstances the population should have grown. Millions died during these periods Lord Curzon was the Viceroy of India from 1899 to 1904 with an extension of another five years to 1909. In the beginning of the twentieth century Curzon took a Begging Bowl around the world asking for help for the famine stricken people of India. Due to his policy of dividing Bengal in two parts Curzon faced joint angry Muslim Hindu riots and shifting the capital from Calcutta to Delhi in 1911 was a result of this unpopular outcome. However emigration continued in the 1900's under different conditions. Returned emigrants had saved enough money to take their families and friends back to the colonies as passengers. A few of these emigrants who worked as Sirdars on the plantations were sent back by their employees to recruit labourers who again were taken as passengers. The indentured system slowly came to an end. 490 pp. Seller Inventory # 73863

Hardbound. Condition: As New. New. The reports in this volume pertain to a very important period in the History of India. The 1850s saw the end of governance by the East India Company and the emergence of the British Crown as the sole ruler of the sub continent. The Sepoy Mutiny took place in 1857 and before restoration of authority in 1858 improvements were constantly being made in the matter of emigration which came under the control of the British Crown from 1858. A treaty was signed between the French and British in 1860 allowing emigration of Indian Natives from the British controlled territories to the French Colonies of Martinique Cayenne Reunion and Guadeloupe. It may be noted here that Indian emigrants from the French controlled territories of Pondicherry Karikal Mahe and Chandernagore were already being dispatched from these places the terms of employment are not known but one can conclude that the conditions were not rosy at all. After signing a Treaty with the British even the French were also required to repatriate the Indian Labourers free of cost after a contract of five years they calculated 365 days x 5 years = 1825 days they deducted 52 Sundays and Gazetted holidays and decided to make the Indian Labour work on alternate days thus stretching their contracts for Ten years. Whoever managed to return to India from the French Colonies returned as Paupers France abolished slavery in their colonies in 1848 hence no records of any Indian native is available in India or in their colonies. As per records of the Proceedings the Parliament in England was not interested in promoting Emigration from India but was compelled to take decisions as almost all their colonies around the World kept on requesting for Indian Labourers. Whatever decision was taken in England was always for the welfare of the Emigrants. The Colonies adopted Ordinances after Ordinances and the fates of the emigrants did not improve till the 20 century by which time their children and grand children had a base and were bent to improve their lot. Today Indians around the world have become full fledged citizens of their inherited countries and contribute to the development and economy of their respective countries without cutting off their umbilical cords to their motherland. 449 pp. Seller Inventory # 73862

Hardbound. Condition: As New. New. Steps were taken towards the end of the eighteenth century to bring slavery to an end which culminated in 1833 only in the British colonies. The following gives an insight to the matter as well as inland immigration a precursor to the Foreign Immigration. The movement for abolition of slavery in the British colonies started around the latter part of the eighteenth century. A motion was tabled in the British Parliament in 1807. The House of Commons approved the prohibition of Slave Trade and by 1823 envisaged abolition of slavery and issued a circular for better treatment of slaves. In 1828 Colour Bar was abolished in the British Colonies. Finally in 1833 slavery throughout the British Empire was abolished. On August First 1834 twenty millions pound sterling was approved by the Imperial Treasury to be released as compensation to the owners of the slaves. The slave owners of Mauritius received a little over two millions pound sterling and in other British Colonies £19 was paid for the release of each slave. Perhaps this humanitarian gesture has no parallel in history yet at the same time when steps for abolition of slavery was being taken in England the British were successful in destroying the handloom industry in India depriving thousands and thousands of weavers of their livelihood. Up to the first quarter of the nineteenth century India was exporting cotton fabrics but by mid nineteenth century India was importing only. Earlier from about 1828 to 1833 private agents also took a few slaves from India to Mauritius which was basically a colony of slaves till 1834. In 1835 61 045 slaves were released in Mauritius. In 1897 there were 60 000 black slaves in the colony brought mostly from Mozambique on the east coast of Africa by the French settlers. Emigration started by the East India Company whose European soldiers and Indian sepoys actually annexed Mauritius in 1810 became a matter of pride for the British Crown from 1860 onwards. The British first came to India in the early seventeenth century for trading only which lasted for 220 years from about 1610 to when the Monopoly of trade of the East India Company was abolished in 1833. In 1765 the East India Company received the Diwani or revenueship of Bengal Bihar and Orissa. Governance of parts of India by the East India Company lasted only 25 years (1833 1858) though the company was annexing state after state within India from about 1800 to 1857. The British Crown actually ruled India for only 89 years within which time they annexed surrounding countries to make India one of the largest empire in the world. The Indian natives became their subjects and sending them under the garb of emigration by creating manmade famine conditions became a routine. Anyway it was a blessing in disguise. 416 pp. Seller Inventory # 73861
