Description
India’s Cries British Humanity is a significant historical work that documents the social and moral crises of colonial India during the 19th century. Author J. Peggs provides a detailed examination of several devastating practices prevalent in Indian society, including infanticide, the connection between British colonial authority and idolatry, the ritualistic murders known as Ghaut murders, and the institution of slavery under British rule.
The work serves as both a social critique and humanitarian plea, questioning British involvement and complicity in these practices. Peggs argues for the moral responsibility of British authorities to address these issues and presents evidence of the human suffering caused by these customs. This text is essential for understanding colonial history, British imperial practices, and early 19th-century abolitionist and humanitarian movements.
