The Indian Musalmans - W.W. Hunter

The Indian Musalmans — W. W. Hunter

Third Edition | London: Trübner and Company, 1876

An important nineteenth-century work by William Wilson Hunter (W. W. Hunter) examining the position of Indian Muslims under British rule.

Written during the British colonial period, The Indian Musalmans explores questions surrounding religion, political loyalty, governance and the relationship between the British administration and Muslim communities in India. The work provides a fascinating contemporary perspective on British attitudes towards Indian Muslims in the decades following the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

This is the Third Edition, published in London by Trübner and Company in 1876.

Hunter was a prominent historian and member of the Indian Civil Service whose extensive writings on India became important sources for the study of the subcontinent during the nineteenth century.

The volume is bound in burgundy cloth with gilt lettering and gilt ruled decoration to the front board. The binding and pages show age-related wear and some spotting consistent with a book of this period, as visible in the photographs.

A particularly interesting historical work for collectors and researchers of British India, Indian Muslim history, colonial history and nineteenth-century works relating to the Indian subcontinent.
