Abstract:
The Raj literature is mostly dominated by male characters with few negative stereotype women characters featuring in them. The Tower of Silence (1971/2005) by Paul Scott is one such novel which breaks the rule as it is women-centric, dominated by women characters of all ages. Unlike the common notion that Scott is critical of the Raj machinery, this paper will investigate the white women's burden a special technique used by Scott to displays the irrevocable British superiority of race, culture and moral obligations. The Tower of Silence (1971/2005) has a vast array of Memsahibs, and this novel connects the story of the previous two novels of the Quartet through these female characters, and it is almost devoid of any native female characters. This paper will study the glorification of the white women’s burden to display the vital role played by these Memsahib's in the propagation of the Empire.

Abstract:
Of late, increasing attention has focused on (mainly male) constructions of women in colonial India. On the one side, it has been noted how European women were frequently held responsible and disparaged for upsetting the comparatively relaxed relationships existing between British (especially males) and Indians (especially females) up to the late eighteenth century. Seen as the staunchest upholders (if not the keenest advocates) of racial distinctions which evolved in the course of the nineteenth century, European women were vilified for elaborating (if not actually creating) social and cultural hierarchies which led to a widening of the distance between colonizer and colonized. At the same time, they were stereotyped as frivolous, vain, snobbish and selfish (Barr 1976: 197; 1989: 1; Brownfoot 1984: 186). Indeed, Gartrell suggests that ‘few women have been described so negatively as the British memsahibs’ (1984: 165). In drawing attention to these portrayals, a number of writers have recently pointed out, in mitigation, that the memsahibs were simply reproducing official British attitudes, were themselves proud symbols of British power, and subjects of a strict patriarchal culture within European circles (see Barr 1989: 5; Bharucha 1994: 88–9).

Abstract:
ABSTRACTYule and Burnell's 1886 Anglo-Indian dictionary still fascinates and informs today. It is not the finest of Salman Rushdie's writings, but this is the first paragraph of his essay Hobson-Jobson (italics in original):“The British Empire, many pundits now agree, descended like a juggernaut upon the barbicans of the East, in search of loot. The moguls of the raj went in palanquins, smoking cheroots, to sup toddy or sherbet on the verandahs of the gymkhana club, while the memsahibs fretted about the thugs in bandannas and dungarees who roamed the night like pariahs, plotting ghoulish deeds.” (Rushdie, 1992:81)Rushdie points out that the italicised words all appear in the celebrated dictionary Hobson-Jobson: a glossary of colloquial Anglo-Indian words and phrases, and of kindred terms, etymological, historical, geographical and discursive by Henry Yule & A.C. Burnell, first published in 1886.This gem of a dictionary gives definitions and origins of words in common use by the British in colonial India in the late nineteenth century. Some of the entries won't be a surprise to readers – we all know that raj, mogul and memsahib are Indian words. But there are many words with their origins in Hindustani, Bengali, Sanskrit or other Indian or Eastern languages, whose origin is perhaps not quite so well known.

Abstract:
Drawing upon the personal accounts of British women who lived through the Mutiny (1857–58), this article argues that these accounts, being characterised by diversity, both supported and contradicted the official discourse of the British Raj. While the domestic spaces in the household were shaken by the storm of the Mutiny, interpersonal relations sometimes transcended the animosity which the Mutiny had garnered. By bringing the contemporary British fiction into the spectrum of analysis, this article argues that the Mutiny fiction and personal accounts have a common chord in their portrayal of the loyalty of the native servants in the hour of crises for their employers. These relationships, however, also implied the status of white superiority over coloured subordination as also the memsahib’s special preserve of idleness.

Abstract:
Established as colonial hill stations in Indian's Doon Valley, in the 1820s, Mussoorie and Landour emerged in Victorian literary imagination with the journals of Emily Eden, Fanny Parks, and the Wallace-Dunlop sisters. This paper argues that the Doon's female imperial architextures invented new prospects of grafting Anglo-Saxon aesthetics on the Himalayan terra nullius, diminishing, miniaturizing, and depopulating aspects of the hazardous, the alien, and the local. A thread of archetypes —jhampauns (Himalayan loco-armchairs) and Himalayan vistas— link the aesthetic arcs in the journals of Eden, Parks, and the Wallace-Dunlops. Although the architexture was ostensibly apolitical, it imbued the Doon's representational spaces with a reproducible English character, rendering its terra incognita into terra familiaris in imperial psyche, while carving a distinct imperial subjectivity for Memsahibs.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the subject positions assumed in the visual and textual representations of India by four nineteenth-century British women: Fanny Parks (17941875), Marianne North (1830-1890), Lady Hariot Dufferin (1843-1936), and Amy Carmichael (1867-1951). Through a post-structuralist, postcolonial and feminist approach, it seeks to examine the double bind of coloniser/colonised that is experienced by white women in empire. The Introduction briefly outlines the history of theoretical approaches to women's travel writing in India and elucidates women's exclusion from the narratives of both travel and imperialism. It draws heavily on the work of Mills and Ghose to set up, what is referred to as, a counter-recuperative study. Chapter One discusses Fanny Parks's publication Wanderings of a Pilgrim in Search of the Picturesque, During Four and Twenty Years in the East; With Revelations of Life in the Zenana. Taking the pilgrim as the dominant subjectivity inscribed by Parks, this chapter uses Leask's analysis of the picturesque, Richard's discussion of imperial archives, and Mulvey's idea of the gaze to examine how Parks negotiates the conflicting aspects of her persona. • Chapter Two looks at Marianne North's paintings, her publication Recollections of a Happy Life, her private letters and unpublished manuscript. It focuses on North's displacement of her desires of sovereignty, sexuality and scientific imperialism onto the colonial landscape, using the work of Mary Louise Pratt, Michel Foucault and Nancy Paxton to create a theoretical context for the use of topography as an imaginative repository. Chapter Three considers Lady Dufferin's unpublished correspondence to her mother, her private collection of photographs and her publication Our Viceregal Life. Through these representations, the Vicereine constructs an authoritative feminine identity that subverts and supports conventional narratives of Victorian women. This is examined through the work of Elizabeth Langland and Nupur Chaudhuri. Chapter Four looks at Amy Carmichael's numerous missionary publications, her private letters and a collection of photographs. Predominantly drawing on Barbara Ramusack's and Antoinette Burton's analyses, this chapter argues that Carmichael assumes a motherly persona in a move that is both imperialist and feminist.
