Abstract
This dissertation examines the history of destitute Indians in Britain from 1834 to 1914.It focuses particularly on sailors and servants who worked on ships bound for Britain in hopes of good wages and promises of return.On arrival, many of these individuals were abandoned by their British employers, and were left without food, shelter, and resources.This dissertation investigates the experiences of these abandoned Indian migrants through a study of their interactions with Britons in the metropole.It looks specifically at the intervention, or lack thereof, of social and political institutions.Chiefly, it studies the contrast between the treatment of destitute Indians by administrators at the Strangers' Home for Asiatics, Africans, and South Sea Islanders, and officials within the India Office.Whereas the India Office persistently evaded any responsibility for the destitute, the Strangers' Home became a refuge where charity was offered in the form of food, lodging, and repatriation.In examining Anglo-Indian interactions and questions of social, political, legal, and moral responsibility, the dissertation simultaneously sheds light on how and where Indians fit within the notion of British subjecthood, a concept that remained undefined and contested throughout this period.At once belonging to and being separate from Britain, destitute Indians occupied an ambiguous zone of (un)belonging in the British world.iv RSUM Cette thse examine l'histoire des Indiens dmunis en Grande-Bretagne de 1834 1914.Elle se concentre spcifiquement sur les marins et les domestiques qui ont travaill au bord des navires destins la Grande-Bretagne dans l'espoir d'y retrouver un salaire dcent et un retour leur terre natale.Ds leur arrive, plusieurs de ces travailleurs ont t abandonns par leurs employeurs britanniques et laisss sans nourriture, abri ou ressources.Cette thse considre les expriences de ces migrants indiens dlaisss en analysant leurs interactions avec les Britanniques en mtropole.Elle s'intresse surtout l'intervention, ou la non-intervention, des institutions sociales et politiques.Elle expose principalement les diffrences entre le traitement des Indiens dmunis par les administrateurs du Strangers' Home for Asiatics, Africans, and South Sea Islanders et les officiels travaillant au sein du India Office .Alors que le India Office a continuellement vit d'assumer la responsabilit pour les dmunis, le Strangers' Home est devenu un refuge, c'est--dire un endroit o la charit tait offerte sous forme de nourriture, d'hbergement et de rapatriement.En examinant les relations anglo-indiennes, ainsi que les questions politiques, lgales, morales et de responsabilit sociale, la thse explore le contexte et les mthodes empruntes par les Indiens pour se conformer aux principes de la citoyennet ( subjecthood ) britannique, malgr la nature conteste et changeante de ceux-ci cette poque. la fois intgrs et l'cart de la Grande Bretagne, les Indiens dmunis ont occup une zone ambigu de (non)appartenance dans le monde britannique.
