EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, titled "Be Just and Fear Not: A Cartoon on the British Injustice to the Nawab of Bengal," is a powerful reminder of a significant historical moment in the relationship between the British East India Company and the Nawab of Bengal in the late 19th century. The image, published in 1870, depicts the Nawab Wajid Ali Shah of Bengal, kneeling before Queen Victoria, supplicating for justice. The Queen, however, is shown with a stern expression and a scepter in hand, symbolizing the might and power of the British monarchy. The cartoon reflects the growing tensions between the British and the Nawab, who had been ruling Bengal since 1856, following the abolition of the East India Company's rule. The Nawab's extravagant lifestyle and perceived incompetence led to the British annexation of his territories, sparking widespread protests and unrest. The cartoonist's intent is clear - to highlight the injustice and unfairness of the British towards the Nawab and the people of Bengal. The title, "Be Just and Fear Not," is a direct appeal to the Queen to uphold fairness and justice in her dealings with the Nawab and his people. The image is a poignant representation of the power dynamics between the British and the Indian rulers during the colonial era and serves as a reminder of the complex and often contentious relationship between the two. The print is a valuable historical artifact, shedding light on a significant moment in the annals of Indian history and the intricacies of colonial rule. It is a testament to the power of art as a tool for social commentary and political expression, and a reminder of the enduring impact of historical events on contemporary society.
