If not for the famous Indian mutiny-rebellion of 1857, the Santal ''Hul'' (rebellion) of 1855 would today be remembered as the most serious uprising that the East India Company ever faced. Instead, this rebellion-to which 10 per cent of the Bengal Army''s infantry was committed and in which at least 10,000 Santals died-has been forgotten. While its memory lived among Santals, British officers published little about it, and most of the sepoys involved died in 1857. In the words of one British officer, the Hul was ''not war ... but execution'', and perhaps thus was dismissed as unworthy of attention by military historians.Drawing for the first time on the Bengal officers'' voluminous reports on its suppression, Peter Stanley has produced the first comprehensive interpretation of the Hul, investigating why it occurred, how it was fought and why it ended as it did.

While its memory lived among Santals, British officers published little about it, and most of the sepoys involved died in 1857. In the words of one British officer, the Hul was ''not war ... but execution'', and perhaps thus was dismissed as unworthy of attention by military historians.Drawing for the first time on the Bengal officers'' voluminous reports on its suppression, Peter Stanley has produced the first comprehensive interpretation of the Hul, investigating why it occurred, how it was fought and why it ended as it did. Despite the Bengal Army virtually inventing counterinsurgency operations in the field (and the Santals improvising their first war), the Hul came to an end amid starvation and disease. But between its bloody outbreak, its protracted suppression and its far-reaching effects, Stanley demonstrates that the Hul was more than just ''execution''-it was indeed a war.

Produktinformasjon

Oppdag Santal-revolusjonen med Hul! Hul! Av Peter Stanley

Er du interessert i ukjente kapitler fra historien? Da er Hul! Hul! av Peter Stanley den perfekte boken for deg. Denne dyptgående analysen tar for seg Santal-revolten fra 1855, en opprørshandling som har blitt oversett, men som er av stor betydning i historien om det britiske kolonistyret i India.

En unik innsikt i en oversett krig

  • Forfatter: Peter Stanley
  • Fokus: Santal-revolten mot East India Company
  • Omfang: Grundig forskning basert på rapporter fra Bengal-offiserer
  • Sikt: Hvordan opprøret startet, ble utkjempet, og hvorfor det endte slik det gjorde

Stanley bruker over 160 års gamle rapporter for å kaste lys over hvorfor denne opprøren ble oversett av historikerne, til tross for at den samlet 10% av Bengal-hæren og kostet over 10,000 Santal-liv. Leseren vil oppdage hvordan motstanden var mer en krig enn en blott henrettelse, slik den ofte har blitt beskrevet.

Hva kan du forvente av Hul! Hul!?

  • Dybde: En omfattende forståelse av en kompleks situasjon.
  • Historisk kontekst: Inspirert av de felles erfaringene til både opprørerne og kolonialistene.
