Abstract

Thus wrote a retired officer about his opposition to the British elitist policies. This was no anomaly. Hume, like most of the Scottish officers in India, defended Indian interests before the colonial administration since his arrival in 1849. In 1854, as a young officer of Etawah district in North India, Hume countered the Orientalist idea that the people of Etawah were uncivilised. He established schools and interacted with Indians very closely. Unable to tolerate his reformist endeavours, he was transferred out of the district, and his schools were destroyed. His father, Joseph Hume, too had defended Indians on more than one occasion in the House of Commons and attempted to empower them by giving direct representation. This paper looks at the Scottish radicalism carried forward by the father and son duo, which dispels the conventional historical narratives that place all colonial officials as instruments of imperialist oppression.

改革的纠缠历史:约瑟夫和艾伦·屋大维·休谟的苏格兰激进主义与印度教育
于是,一位退休军官写了一篇反对英国精英政策的文章。这并不奇怪。休谟和大多数在印度的苏格兰军官一样,自1849年抵达印度以来,在殖民政府之前捍卫了印度的利益。1854年,作为北印度埃塔瓦地区的一名年轻军官,休谟反驳了东方主义者关于埃塔瓦人民不文明的观点。他建立了学校,并与印度人进行了非常密切的交流。由于无法容忍他的改革努力,他被调离了该地区,他的学校也被毁了。他的父亲约瑟夫·休姆也曾不止一次在下议院为印度人辩护,并试图通过直接代表来赋予他们权力。本文着眼于父子二人组所倡导的苏格兰激进主义,它消除了将所有殖民官员视为帝国主义压迫工具的传统历史叙事。
