Viceroy Of Independent India has no followers yet. Be the first one to follow.
Throughout the centuries expansionist Burman kings engaged in war with the inhabitants of Karenni State as they encroached on the territory of the ethnic frontier states. Then in 1924 the first Anglo‐Burmese war took place and the British took control of Tanintharry and Moulmein in Lower Burma. In 1826, Gayphodu, a prominent Western Karenni chief, sent a delegation to Moulmein to establish a friendship with the British administration. He selected his own son Khwee Ti, as his emissary. In 1852, a second Anglo‐Burmese war occurred and the British occupied Taungoo and other parts of lower Burma. Following this in 1857 the Chief Commissioner of Taungoo, Mr E. O'Riley, came to Kyephogyi and met with Gayphodu to renew the Treaty of Friendship. In the intervening years the Burmans had continued to invade Karenni territory so Gayphodu requested the Viceroy of British‐India to put pressure on the Burman king to respect the independence of Western Karenni. In response to this request, Viceroy Lord Dalhousie of British‐India announced his support of the Karenni's claim to independence and warned the Burmans that they should cease their attacks on the Karenni. Gayphodu, the chief of Western Karenni, passed away in 1868 and his two sons Khwee Ti and Khwee Tjar succeeded him. Khwee Ti and Khwee Tjar contined to request the Viceroy of British‐India to put pressure on the Burman king to acknowledge Karenni's independence. In 1875, the Viceroy of British‐India, dispatched his emissary ...
Jinnah, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sylhet, Chittagong, Dhaka, Creating a country In the early 1930s several important visitors came to Jinnah's Hampstead home, requesting him to return to India to lead the Muslim League. Eventually he was persuaded and finally returned in 1935. With little time for preparation, he led the League into the 1937 elections. Its poor showing did not discourage him; instead, he threw himself into reorganizing it. The Muslim League session in 1937 in Lucknow was a turning point and generated wide enthusiasm (see chapter 3). A snowball effect became apparent. In 1939, now in his early sixties, Jinnah made his last will, appointing his sister Fatima, his political lieutenant Liaquat Ali Khan and his solicitor as joint executors and trustees of his estate. Although Fatima was the main beneficiary, he did not forget his daughter Dina and his other siblings. He also remembered his favourite educational institutions, especially Aligarh, which helped lay the foundations for Pakistan. Jinnah's fine clothes and erect bearing helped to conceal the fact that he was in poor physical health. From 1938 onwards he was to be found complaining of 'the tremendous strain' on his 'nerves and physical endurance' (Jinnah's letter to Hassan Ispahani written on 12 April of that year in the Ispahani Collection). From then on he regularly fell ill, yet that was carefuIly hidden from the public. He remained unwell for much of the first half of 1945. Later in the year he ...
"Lord Mountbatten: The Last Viceroy" (mini series, UK, 1986, 6 x 70 minutes, colour.). Directed by Tom Clegg. This dramatization is a solidly acted depiction of the last days of the British Empire in India and Mountbatten's role in the transition from colony to independent nation. www.imdb.com IMDB: Mountbatten has many biographies out there, some less flattering than others. This depiction of him falls more or less in the middle, showing his strengths and his weaknesses. Also the show does not shy away from showing his wife, Edwina, and her relationship with Nehru (it should be noted her wild ways long before she arrived in India made her not welcome at Buckingham Palace). Much of the actual history is greatly abridged (such as the partition) so as to not delve into the complexities of the India/Pakistan split. And some things are fictionalized for dramatic purposes. Nehru's politics is not given much examination in this depiction (he was a socialist). Gandhi's role is historically accurate (unlike the movie that bears his name, he was not an active participant in the partition) as are other things. This is a good start to understand this important moment in history. Mountbatten is still a controversial figure both in England and India over what happened as the last viceroy. Cast: Nicol Williamson ... Lord Louis Mountbatten Janet Suzman ... Lady Edwina Mountbatten Ian Richardson ... Nehru Sam Dastor ... Gandhi Malcolm Terris ... Winston Churchill

"Lord Mountbatten: The Last Viceroy" (mini series, UK, 1986, 6 x 70 minutes, colour.). Directed by Tom Clegg. This dramatization is a solidly acted depiction of the last days of the British Empire in India and Mountbatten's role in the transition from colony to independent nation. www.imdb.com IMDB: Mountbatten has many biographies out there, some less flattering than others. This depiction of him falls more or less in the middle, showing his strengths and his weaknesses.
