Battle of Chillianwala

The Battle of Chillianwala on 13 January 1849 was a bloody and indecisive clash between the British East India Company (EIC) and the Sikh Empire during the Second Anglo-Sikh War (1848-9). The EIC commander, General Gough, employed the dated strategy of an infantry charge against well-prepared Sikh positions, and a quarter of his men paid the ultimate price.

It was not until 1861, with the imposition of the British legal system in India, renamed Indian Penal Code (IPC), that sodomy, and thus same-sex acts (again, among men), were outlawed among Indians across the whole of British-held subcontinental territory, via IPC article 377 (Which was recently repealed in 2018 in Independent India) This act marks the supplanting of local time/spaces of queer acceptance, as evidenced in texts and practices mentioned above, with generalized male homosexual repression.

Fall of the East India Company

The British East India Company (1600-1874) was the largest and most successful private enterprise ever created. All-powerful wherever it colonised, the EIC's use of its own private army and increasing territorial control, particularly in India, meant that it faced ever-greater scrutiny from the British government in the late 18th century. Restricted by several successive acts of Parliament over many decades because of allegations of corruption and unaccountability, the EIC's independence ended with the chaos of the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857-8. The British Crown replaced the EIC's board of directors as the rulers of British India, and Parliament officially dissolved the EIC in 1874.

Southern Asia 100 years ago today: Third Anglo-Afghan War (11 Jun 1919) https://buff.ly/2R85dGm The unrest in India around the Amritsar massacre encouraged Afghanistan to assert itself against Britain. In May 1919 it invaded northern India, but was rapidly pushed back by the British. Nonetheless, in the ensuing peace treaty, Britain agreed to recognize Afghanistan as a fully independent state. #southernasia #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1910s #20thcentury #modernhistory #1919 #afghanistan #britishempire #britishraj #afghanhistory #britishindia #angloafghanwar #afghanwar #june #june11 #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #ww100 #asianhistory #100yearsago (at Jalalabad, Afghanistan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byj9p1WgTyy/?igshid=3bjw2melzqvf
