About the Book
This book delves into the life and legacy of Babu Jagat Singh, a scion of the royal family of Banaras and a pivotal figure in Indian history during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. While most historiographies focus on 1857 as a critical turning point in India’s struggle for independence, this work examines a lesser-known yet significant episode—the armed anti-British struggle in Banaras in 1799, led by Jagat Singh.
At a time when the sovereignty of zamindars in northern India was rapidly diminishing due to British colonial intervention, Jagat Singh spearheaded an armed resistance against British rule. His efforts to challenge colonial forces resulted in his deportation to St. Helena. The book offers a fresh perspective on India’s resistance movements and highlights the resilience of regional leaders like Jagat Singh who fought against British imperialism long before the events of 1857. This volume is an essential read for those interested in the untold stories of India’s fight for freedom and the complexities of colonial resistance.
