- Description
- In 1863, the Nawab Sikandar Begum, a Indian Muslim woman and hereditary ruler of the princely state of Bhopal in colonial India, traveled to Mecca for 'hajj' with a retinue of a thousand people. On returning, she wrote an account of her journey. It focusses on the role of the colonial environment and the process by which notions of the self could be redefined against a Muslim 'other' and the way in which Arabia was constructed by a colonial subject as part of the discourse about 'the Orient'. .This volume reproduces the original English translation of Sikandar Begum's Urdu maniscript, prepared by E.L. Willoughby-Osborne, the wife of a British colonial officer, first published in 1871.

- Description
- The first British women to set foot in India did so in the early seventeenth century. They went and practiced several professions including traders. As wives, prostitutes and she-merchants, they were fearless and their voyages to India adventurous. This book uncovers stories of hundreds of women who made their way across the sea and changed history. For example, Charlotte Barry who in 1783 left London a high-class courtesan and arrived in India as Mrs. William Hickey, a married 'lady' and Mrs. Hudson who in 1617 was refused as a trader in indigo by the East Indian Company and instead turned a penny in cloth.
