The Indian Newspaper Reports of British India
This chapter examines how the Native Newspaper Reports (NNRs) (mis)represented resistance – and news in general – in the nineteenth-century Indian periodical press. The NNRs were weekly compilations of passages from articles in the Indian press published by the colonial government from the 1870s to 1910.

From 1891 to the 1940s, authors, newspapers, editors, printers, and proprietors were charged with producing seditious texts. Poetry, song lyrics, fiction, drama, essays, gramoph…
A “Messy” History and its Many “Messy” Texts
The division of British India into India and Pakistan in August 1947 was accompanied by the dislocation of between twelve and sixteen million people and the violent deaths of around a million. Punjab and Bengal, the two provinces that were divided, were the most affected but so were other parts of the country. After all, mixed populations (Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Christian, and so on) were more the norm than not in rural and urban India, making the …
