Indian Muslims attitude to the British in the early nineteenth century : a case study of Shāh ʻAbdul ʻAzīz

This is an attempt to study the attitude of Shāh ʻAbdul ʻAzīz (1746-1824), the son of Shāh Walīullāh, the leading ʻālims of their time in India, and of other Indian Muslims towards the British in India in the early 19th century. The 19th century has great significance in Indian history. The Battle of Plassey in 1757, marks the beginning of a process which led, in 1857, to the establishment of the suzerainty of the British Crown over India. The process which was set in motion in 1757, had reached a definite stage –by 1803, when the British hegemony was established over Delhi, and the Mughal Emperor virtually became a pawn in their hands. The establishment of British control over Delhi must have disturbed the Muslims for it entailed the end of their own domination. / fr
