| Title | Humorous resistance, satire and politics: A study of the Awadh Punch (1877-1936) in colonial india |
| Summary | This thesis is a study of the Awadh Punch (1877 - 1937). It examines the emergence and influence of the Awadh Punch in the late nineteenth century, positioning it as a crucial player in the dynamic landscape of India's vernacular press. It is an example of both native agency and ingenuity in how it managed to navigate the complexities of colonial censorship. Furthermore, this thesis explores how the periodical contributed to shaping public opinion, fostering nationalist sentiment, and articulating the complexities of the Muslim community's responses to colonial rule. In doing so, it hopes to enrich our understanding of subversive politics within the colonial context and the diversity of opinion within the Muslim public sphere. It employs the use of archival methodology and consults both literary and visual sources to draw its conclusions. |
