Islamic Culture July 1944

1944

After the fall of Delhi to the arms of Lord Lake in 1803 the Empire of the Mughals had been confined to the great fort the decimated buildings of which surrounded by their magnificent enclosure are still the wonder of the traveller.' Still the Court etiquette the entourage of the Emperor the titular nobility and the patronage of the throne hoever nominal they might have become were guard [...] The Mutiny saw the end of a long trial and the final disappearance of the reigning house of the Timarids including the nobility which had been the mainstay of the people for centuries. [...] The old was no more and the new had not yet arrived with the result that the harvest of the Mutiny was a great chasm personified in the mutual distrust of the new de jure rulers of the land and the followers of the religion of the ex-emperor. [...] This proposal was sent by the Syed while he was stationed at Benares and even in that city the attitude of the people was so placid and conciliatory that the murmur of the counterproposal of having two Universities one for Muslims where Urdu should be the medium of instruction and the other for the Hindus where the characters used should be Devanagari was not heard till the end of the year. [...] The basic argument of his Causes of the Indian Revolt is that the Mutiny was the work not of the Muslims only but of misguided Hindus and Muslims and the chief reason for the catstrophe was the lack of means with which it was possible to make known the Indian viewpoint to the British Parliament.
