Retrace the History of British Raj in Delhi through a guided city tour

During the British Raj’s history, the Indian (Sepoy) Mutiny was a significant event. This mutiny is referred to as India’s First War of Independence. Before we give you the snippets of the tour, here is some context about the Mutiny which has made its mark in each place of your visit during this guided tour.

Indian Mutiny, also called Sepoy Mutiny, widespread but unsuccessful rebellion against British rule in India in 1857–58. Begun in Meerut by Indian troops (sepoys) in the service of the British East India Company, it spread to Delhi, Agra, Kanpur, and Lucknow. In India it is often called the First War of Independence and other similar names. Read here for the Background of the mutiny, the rebellion, and the aftermath of the mutiny here.

What you will see in the tour of British Raj's Delhi

You will be driven to North Delhi which was the scene of action during 1857 Mutiny (as the British called it) or First War of India’s Independence (as Indians call it).

In North Delhi we will visit St. James Church, Kashmiri Gate, Nicholson Cemetery and Mutiny Memorial and learn about the turmoil of 1857 when India was fighting for its freedom and the British East India Company had almost lost it. We will continue the narrative to 1911 when the capital of British India was shifted to Delhi and finally to Lutyens’ Delhi where the main buildings of the new capital city were built.

We will discuss this fascinating story of British Raj through stories associated with these sites and some of the prominent Englishmen associated with that story – namely, James Skinner, John Nicholson, Edwin Lutyens and Lord Mountbatten.

This experience will be conducted by a subject expert who will keep you engaged in interesting conversations.

Significance of each place of the tour

Significance of St. James Church

St. James' (also known as Skinner's Church) is an Anglican church in Delhi, India, built in 1836 by Colonel James Skinner. It is one of the oldest churches in the city, and part of the Church of North India Diocese of Delhi.

It was the church the Viceroy of India, attended until the Cathedral Church of the Redemption, near Gurudwara Rakab Ganj, was built in 1931.

The church houses several tombs. One houses the remains of the British Commissioners of Delhi, William Fraser, near the large Memorial Cross erected in memory of the victims of 1857 revolt. At the rear is the tomb of Thomas Metcalfe, who lived in Delhi from 1813 to 1853, serving as Agent to Governor General of India and a Commissioner.

Colonel James Skinner's grave at St. James' Church, near Kashmiri Gate, Delhi Skinner died at Hansi on 4 December 1841 at the age of 64, and was first buried there. Later he was disinterred, and buried in Skinner's Church on 19 January 1842 in a vault of white marble immediately below the Communion Table. North of the church lies the family plot, Skinner family, where many of his fourteen wives and many children, are buried, the burial in this place was that of a lady who died in England, but wished that her ashes be interred here.

Significance of Kashmiri Gate

The Kashmere Gate or Kashmiri Gate is a gate located in Delhi, it is the northern gate to the historic walled city of Delhi. Built by Military Engineer Robert Smith in 1835, the gate is so named because it used to start a road that led to Kashmir.

Today it is also the name of the surrounding locality in North Delhi, in the Old Delhi area, and an important road junction as the Red Fort, ISBT and Delhi Junction railway station lie in its vicinity.

When the British first started settling in Delhi in 1803, they found the walls of Old Delhi city, Shahjahanabad lacking repairs, especially after the siege by Maratha Holkar in 1804, subsequently they reinforced the city's walls. They gradually set up their residential estates in Kashmere Gate area, which once housed Mughal palaces and the homes of nobility.

The gate next gained national attention during the Mutiny of 1857. Indian soldiers fired volleys of cannonballs from this gate at the British and used the area to assemble for strategizing fighting and resistance.

Significance of Nicholson Cemetery

As cliché as it may sound the most peaceful place in India's capital is Nicholson Christian Cemetery, the final resting place for hundreds of Christians, both of British and Indian origin, who passed away during the British Colonial rule of the country.

Located right across the street from the Metro station and around the corner from the historic Kashmiri Gate the cemetery is a somber refuge from the hustle and bustle of the sprawling urban giant that is the capital city of Delhi. Somehow when you step through its gates the cacophony of sounds characteristic of the afternoon rush in Old Delhi fade away to a placid silence.

The graveyard has an almost preternatural beauty to it. Marble Victorian and gothic revival-style headstones rise up from overgrown shrubs and brambles while peacocks walk the grounds making their haunting calls.

Significance of Mutiny Memorial

The Mutiny Memorial is a memorial situated in front of Old Telegraph Building, Kashmiri Gate, New Delhi. Also known as Ajitgarh, it was built in memory of all those who had fought in the Delhi Field Force, British and Indian, during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

Erected by the Public Works Department at government expense in 1863 the memorial was hastily designed and constructed. It received much public criticism on completion. In 1972, the 25th anniversary of India's Independence, the Indian Government renamed the monument 'Ajitgarh' ('Place of the Unvanquished') and erected a plaque stating that the 'enemy' mentioned on the memorials were 'immortal martyrs for Indian freedom'.

Significance of Lutyens’ Delhi

When the British Raj decided to move it's capital from Calcutta to Delhi in 1931, the Raj brought in British architect Edwin Lutyens (1869–1944) to design and build administrative buildings and other green spaces in the city.

Lutyens team of architects were hired to design and build out the city's central administrative area, with the instruction to retain and develop most of the city's green spaces.

It all began with the magnificent Rashtrapati Bhawan (formerly known as Viceroy's House), at the top of Raisina Hill.

The Rajpath, also known as King's Way, connects India Gate to Rashtrapati Bhawan, while Janpath, which crosses it at a right angle, connects South End Road (renamed as Rajesh Pilot Marg) with Connaught Place.

Currently, Pranab Mukherjee, the President of India, and stays in the official house of Rashtrapati Bhawan.

The Secretariat Building, which house various ministries of the Government of India including the Prime Minister's Office, is beside the Rashtrapati Bhawan and was designed by Herbert Baker (one of the architects lead by Edwin Lutyens).

India Gate Is a war memorial located besides the Rajpath. It is memorial dedicated to the 82,000 soldiers of the Indian Army who died during the First World War and the Third Anglo-Afgan War. Some 13,300 servicemen's names have been attributed on this magnificent architectural marvel. (Wikipedia)

Street Entrepreneurs: - The Original Entrepreneurs of India

Street Entrepreneurs: - The Original Entrepreneurs of India

Nearly five centuries ago, Agra was the commercial nerve center of the prosperous Mongol empire. Thanks to the monuments built by kings and emperors, including the Taj Mahal, this Uttar Pradesh was just a little more than a tourist station.

But, almost unnoticed, Agra has come to illustrate another economic revolution. Despite its dilapidated state and civil infrastructure, it has become a center of Original Entrepreneurs of India new opportunities in the service sector. The impact of these opportunities was that by the end of 2004, until the data became available, more than six out of 10 people were now working alone, compared to just five years earlier.

Agra is just a showcase for a new generation of second-tier Indian cities outside the Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Kolkata regions, which have begun to enjoy the benefits of India's economic growth of 8% over the past four years.

A five-year comprehensive government survey places the city of Agra behind Varanasi as a city of more self-employed workers, followed by Bhopal, Indore and Pattna. A few years ago, Agra was not in this picture with Varanasi, Patna, Pune, Lucknow and Kolkata among the five largest cities in terms of independent men.

As a result, apart from 40% of the population who rely heavily on agriculture, and some still depend on the traditional works of leather, footwear and iron foundries, most people in Agra now work in professions as "self-employed".

According to the National Organization for Sampling Survey, in 1999-2000, 431 of every 1000 workers were self-employed in the city. This increased to 603 per 1,000 in 2004-2005. At the national level, the number of self-employed persons has also increased, from 368 to 395 per thousand, and nowhere in Agra and in many similar cities.

Kids new genius

Tell people like Yatendra Singh, 21 years old. When he graduated from the local university in 2005, he never imagined that in less than three years he would share ownership of two Internet cafes. "The Internet started to take off in Agra, I would have survived another way, but maybe I would not run an independent company," he says.

The Internet boom came a bit later to lure to Delhi or Mumbai, but now it is within walking distance of the small Singh vault in the Bodhla-Flint Road, and the entry from Agra Sikandra. It marks the burial place of the great Mongol emperor. The surrounding area has been rebuilt to meet demand for housing. "At least eight Internet cafes, big or small, have appeared since 2004 in this area," says Singh. Pigters also dry cleaners, public providers of telephone calls, real estate brokers and mail delivery shops, all in the midst of busy, packed with motorcycles and  Street Entrepreneurs of India.

It seems part of the reason that Agra moved to free work to be better connected with Delhi and neighboring countries. It is building a new fast track to connect it to Noida near New Delhi, while the city government is reaffirming its position on the metro system. It also has the distinction of being one of only five cities in a very large state, apart from Varanasi, Merot, Lucknow and Kanpur. All these qualities seem to make Agra the perfect service center, despite low industrial activity. Big Brother Singh, Krapal, for example, is now juggling between Agra and Noida, a five-hour drive, and setting up his second Internet cafe family in the electronics city.

Growing needs

At the same time, the government expect UP residents of Agra city by 3.84% per year to reach 2.20 million in 10 years and 2.7 million for 2031.

This, for the state administration, can only mean that Internet cafes, post offices, taxis, hotels, education centers and realtors will continue to snowball.

"We are growing very rapidly and the city is changing.The only way to adapt to these changes is to find new forms of employment through investment and modernization of the city," says Ashok Kumar, commissioner of Agra.

As Commissioner, Kumar is the Managing Director of Agra, responsible for monitoring development programs and the planned government. "A great deal of self-employment now comes from occupations that either did not exist a decade ago or were small," he says.

The increase in self-employment is evident throughout the country, although analysts differ on what it means. Arvind Fermani, chief economic adviser to the Planning Committee, planning for the country's most important agency, says the transition to free labor suggests a part of the eventual shift from unskilled labor to skilled farming and manufacturing jobs.

Free work is the usual way of working as it rises in the value chain from agriculture to industry, Fermani wrote in a 2006 paper on employment and equitable growth of the Commission. "The fact that the ultimate change to more skilled jobs in manufacturing already occurs in India depends on other factors, such as skills development and more rational labor laws, to encourage employment in the industry," he says. .

But Arjun Sengupta, a member of parliament and a former member of the Planning Committee, sees in the direction of self-employment, a decline in farm wealth exacerbated by delayed industrial activity.

"This needs attention: we must promote industrial activity and increase agricultural productivity to stimulate better paying jobs that have decent conditions," he says.

Opportunities in abundance

Analysts say the increase in self-employment shows a change in the way the Indian economy works. "The increase in self-employment shows that people are finding work outside the traditional sectors," said Duncan Campbell, Director of Policy Integration at the ILO.

The new opportunities mean that many have been able to influence the career change they did not expect.

Take Rajendar Yadav, 25, who is already a veteran of the city's traditional industry: shoes. In 2002-2003, when the city's exports of shoes reached $ 350 million (Rs.1,435 crore), Yadav decided to leave his well-paid job as a production manager at Superhouse, a shoe exporter.

By 2005, he established himself in a new role as an independent shoe and accessory manufacturer within Agra, Delhi, Noida and Chennai. A recently settled businessman. He now buys leather-making machines and sells many things, such as embossed beads, to five regular customers.

"What is the point of continuing to work for others while all the commercial sectors of the city thrive?" Yadav said in his office, a room furnished on the roof of his two-story house in Awas Vikas. New colony. Developed by the Agra Development Authority since 1999. It seems that most of his work is carried out through his mobile phone.

Yadav represents the changing employment pattern that is being revealed in Indian cities. The survey data reflect this trend in 29 first-tier cities with a population of more than 1 million, including Hawara in the east to Kalyan-Dumbili in the west and Hyderabad in the south to Lodiana in the north.

The owner of the Internet cafe and the bleeding-skin worker are the top end of the self-employed: they also understand employers. However, the largest proportion of self-employed workers in the country are so-called domestic workers, self-employed or who produce a contractor / subcontractor, part of a long value chain. According to the 1999-2000 surveys, there are about 29 million households dependent on this industrial work. While many are women, Agra today has the second highest proportion of self-employed men in India, after Varanasi, where 757 of the 1,000 workers were self-employed in 2004-2005.
