Book Description

About the Book "Our Troubles in Poona and the Deccan" presents a comprehensive historical narrative spanning from the 15th to the 19th century in Poona and its environs. It covers pivotal events like Mallojee Bhonslay's era and the Peishwa's downfall, alongside the impact of British rule. The text explores societal divisions among Brahmin groups, Shivaji's influence, and the Poona and Deccan press. It also delves into cultural facets, including the Konkani and Deccan communities, and economic dynamics like trade and agriculture. The book discusses marginalized groups like outcastes and hill tribes, as well as the presence of aliens. It culminates with a summary and analysis.

About the Author Arthur Travers Crawford (1835-1911) was a British government employee and the first Municipal Commissioner and collector of Bombay (now Mumbai), India. Back in London, he penned his memoirs on his life in India, titled Our Troubles in Poona and the Deccan which was published in 1897. Other books published by Crawford include Reminiscence of an Indian Police Officer, The Unrest in India, and Legends of Konkan.

Preface "THE news from India is serious, though it must not be exaggerated. It does not follow that because English officers are shot at, the whole of India is in a state of latent rebellion," so said, wisely and temperately-as is its wont, the St. James's Gazette of the 30th June after the Poona Jubilee murders. Would that the rest of the English Press had been as sober, as prudent! Alas! while the whole pack has been in full cry, Mahommedan fanaticism has been dragged, like red herrings tied to Brahminical threads, across the scent. The pack has broken up. Some couples-the fiercest and the rashest-have run to heel on the line of Native Press Suppression; others have pursued the foul Plague phantom, and mauled brave "Tommy Atkins"; a few still bay at Brahmins good and bad indifferently; while hare-brained Scotch, Irish, and "Padgett" M.P'S have ridden recklessly ahead, scattering on each line abundant lies, provided by cringing Fergusson College Professors and pestilent Deccan "Sabhás." "Filled is the air with barbarous dissonance" and the British public is bewildered. There is great present danger that the innocent may be confounded with the guilty: there is greater danger that the guilty may evade detection-as has often happened before-and that the character of harmless classes may be irreparably injured through misapprehension. There is still greater danger that thus a general feeling of disaffection, which I hope to prove does not yet exist, may actually be produced.
