This volume offers an alternative way of conceiving the history of
Britain by excavating and exploring the numerous ways in which
South Asians in Britain engaged in radical discourse and political
activism from 1858 to 1947, before their more permanent migration
and settlement. The book focuses on a tumultuous period of
resistance against the backdrop of high imperialism under the reign
of Victoria, through the turmoil of two World Wars and Partition in
1947. As well as addressing resistances against empire and
hierarchies of race, the authors investigate how South Asians in
Britain mobilized to campaign for women's suffrage (the Indian
princess Sophia Duleep Singh), for example, or for an international
socialism (the Communist MP Shapurji Saklatvala), thereby
contributing to and complicating notions of freedom, equality and
justice. This volume reframes these pioneers as social and
political agents and activists and shows how Britain's contemporary
multicultural society is rooted in their mobilization for equality
of citizenship.
