Announcing Talk 238 #AfterTheEmpire - The Legacy Of Britain's Colonial Past. In recent years, the history of the British Empire has become a very controversial, and heavily politicised topic within the UK. While some have sought, especially in the light of the Black Lives Matter movement, to draw attention to long-buried aspects of its racism and violence, others, associated especially with the populist right wing that dominated under the last Conservative government, have reacted with vigorous defences of the Empire's morality and beneficial effects. At our Online Talk #AfterTheEmpire, historical geographer @aljhlester considers how historical research and the politics of imperial history coalesce. 📍Sat | 31st August | 6 PM IST | Zoom Admission free. Register now at: bit.ly/4dWyz3t About the speaker: Alan Lester is Professor of Historical Geography at the University of Sussex, UK and Adjunct Professor of History at La Trobe University, Australia. He has been researching, teaching and writing about British colonialism for over thirty years. His latest book is The Truth About Empire: Real Histories of British Colonialism, published by Hurst in 2024. #KhakiLab #OnlineTalk #FreeTalk #Heritage #History #BritishEmpire #ColonialHistory

This house in a leafy North London suburb was home to Indian revolutionaries from 1905-1910. They published an anti-colonialist newspaper, smuggled weapons into India and brushed shoulders with Irish Republicans, suffragettes, Egyptian nationalists and communists.🧵

On this day, in 1940, Indian revolutionary Udham Singh was executed for the assassination of Michael O'Dwyer, the former governor of the Punjab. The assassination was done in revenge for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar in 1919, for which O'Dwyer was responsible.
