Abstract

In the game of the ‘have and have nots’ of the texts, the illiterate communities remain the victims. Who produced whose text and ‘interest’ are similarly important in order to understand the reliability of text sources. Jadonang, a highlander messiah cum non-violence freedom fighter was caught, tried, and hanged. This article delves into Jadonang’s trial from an alternative historical perspective, rather than simply accepting Jadonang as the murderer. The testimony of 23 defendants at the trial indicated possibilities of incorporating entire colonial state mechanisms into the construction of facts in order to crush the Zeliangrong movement forever.

原始土匪罪犯的形成:英国殖民法庭对加多南的审判

在文本的“有与无”游戏中，文盲社区仍然是受害者。为了了解文本来源的可靠性，谁制作了谁的文本和“兴趣”同样重要。Jadonang，一位高地弥赛亚和非暴力自由战士被抓获，审判并被绞死。这篇文章从另一个历史角度深入研究了Jadonang的审判，而不是简单地接受Jadonang是凶手。23名被告在审判中的证词表明，为了永远粉碎泽良荣运动，有可能将整个殖民国家机制纳入事实的构建中。

期刊介绍： The Indian Historical Review (IHR), a peer reviewed journal, addresses research interest in all areas of historical studies, ranging from early times to contemporary history. While its focus is on the Indian subcontinent, it has carried historical writings on other parts of the world as well. Committed to excellence in scholarship and accessibility in style, the IHR welcomes articles which deal with recent advancements in the study of history and discussion of method in relation to empirical research. All articles, including those which are commissioned, are independently and confidentially refereed. The IHR will aim to promote the work of new scholars in the field. In order to create a forum for discussion, it will be interested in particular in writings which critically respond to articles previously published in this journal. The IHR has been published since 1974 by the Indian Council of Historical Research. It is edited by an Editorial Board appointed by the Council. The Council also obtains the advice and support of an Advisory Committee which comprises those members of the Council who are not members of the editorial board.
