Abstract

This is an outline of the early rebellions against the East India Company that broke out in the region, comprised of the present-day Bangladesh, and Indian states of West Bengal and Odisha. Organised by a wide range of people, from ascetics, peasants, landlords to discontented nobles; these primordial rebellions summed up some of their responses to the new revenue regime, land-settlements, dispossessions, and fiscal issues, in the first hundred years of the company’s rule. The complex composition pattern of the rebellions, including ideological issues, has been analysed with reference to the Sannyasi and Fakir rebellions, due to wide research attention they received earlier. Important shreds of the history of anti-colonialism at the regional level, these rebellions not only represented elements of continuity linking them to the Great Tumult of 1857, but also contributed to the broader national movements.

回顾早期孟加拉和奥里萨邦的反殖民叛乱，1760-1856

这是早期反抗东印度公司的叛乱的概要，叛乱发生在该地区，包括今天的孟加拉国，以及印度的西孟加拉邦和奥里萨邦。由广泛的人群组织，从苦行僧、农民、地主到不满的贵族;这些原始的叛乱总结了他们在公司统治的前一百年里对新的税收制度、土地安置、剥夺和财政问题的一些反应。由于较早受到广泛的研究关注，本文以桑雅西和法基尔叛乱为参照，分析了叛乱的复杂组成模式，包括意识形态问题。这些叛乱在地区层面上是反殖民主义历史的重要碎片，它们不仅代表了将它们与1857年的大骚乱联系起来的连续性元素，而且对更广泛的民族运动做出了贡献。
