The Criminal Tribes Act 1871: The Devious Law that Turned Heroic Legends into "Born Criminals"
The Criminal Tribes Act 1871: The Devious Law that Turned Heroic Legends into "Born Criminals"
Product Description

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Enacted by the British in the shadows of the unprecedented defeats in numerous battles at the hands of Indian bravehearts, the Criminal Tribes Act of 1871 declared entire tribes, castes, and communities as “Born Criminals” without any logical procedure or explanation—with the aim to annihilate every existing gene of valour and heroism which had brought upon them heavy losses during the First War of Independence in 1857.

This book dwells upon the insidious nature of this Act and how long-lasting its effects have been. The various mechanisms used to prevent these effects from fading away, such as dehumanization and de-individualization, have been explored and an attempt has been made to bring out the main motive behind enacting the Act. This book also brings to light the heroic deeds of individuals of five of the communities mentioned under this Act, which cost them so dearly.

The book draws from original sources like Gazetteer notifications of Amritsar, Province of Oudh and South India, from 1877 to 1959, Government of India documents and reports, Parliamentary Debates, Original Report of the Criminal Tribes Act Enquiry Committee (1949-50), NCDNST Report, first-hand accounts recorded by the contemporary British officials such as Colonel James Welsh (1775–1861) and Robert Caldwell (1881), academic literature, research articles and books examining dehumanization, and studies on de-notified tribes.
