“Subjects,” “Liberty,” and “Equity”: Queen Victoria's Proclamations and Bengali Writers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 April 2024
Abstract
Starting with Queen Victoria's address to the Proclamation Durbar in 1877, this article surveys how Bengali writers critiqued British colonialism in India through their stories, songs, poetry, journalism, and lectures, sometimes directly about the queen herself, more often when discussing governance, social reform, and the desire for political liberty.
