Imperial ambiguities : the United States and Philippine Muslims / Vartavarian, Mesrob   Journal Article
Vartavarian, Mesrob Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article examines relations between American imperial personnel and indigenous Muslims in the southern Philippines from the colonial advent to the post-colonial present. American officials initially established imperial linkages with Muslims that bypassed emerging political arrangements in core Christian areas. In ruling different Filipinos disparately, Christian and non-Christian zones of the archipelago assumed separate developmental trajectories. Muslims were racialized and forcibly modernized, but stood apart as a peripheral minority. Although sub-national imperial connections were severed after 1913, Muslims retained a memory of a distinct relationship with the United States that benefited local interests and contained government violence when the Americans returned to fight a war on terror at the beginning of the 21st century.

Pacification and patronage in the Maratha Deccan, 1803–1818 / Vartavarian, Mesrob   Journal Article
Vartavarian, Mesrob Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article examines pacification operations conducted by British colonial armies throughout the Maratha Deccan from 1803 to 1818. The East India Company assembled concentrations of coercive force by extending patronage to loyalist elites and mobile war bands. Military contingents from allied princely states were mobilized and combined with a policy of brokerage intended to demobilize hostile forces holed up in forts or engaged in brigandage. Pacification through a mixture of negotiations and force ensured loyalist groups a privileged place in the emerging colonial order.

Warriors and States: Military labour in southern India, circa 1750–1800 / Vartavarian, Mesrob   Journal Article
Vartavarian, Mesrob Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The consolidation of numerous regional polities in the aftermath of Mughal imperial decline presented favourable socioeconomic opportunities for South Asian service communities. Protracted armed conflicts in southern India allowed a variety of mercenaries, soldiers, and war bands to accumulate resources in exchange for mobilizing manpower on behalf of states with weak standing armies. This article focuses on British imperial efforts to obtain sufficient quantities of military labour during its struggle with the Mysore sultanate. As the sultanate assumed an increasingly hostile attitude towards independent warrior power, local strongmen sought more amenable arrangements with alternate entities. The British East India Company received crucial support from autonomous warrior groups during its southern wars of conquest. Warriors in turn utilized British resources to consolidate local sovereignties. Thus, the initial British intrusion into peninsular Indian society further fragmented the political landscape by patronizing petty military entrepreneurs.

Warriors and the Company State in South India, 1799-1801 / Vartavarian, Mesrob   Journal Article
Vartavarian, Mesrob Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract After the collapse of the Mysore Sultanate in 1799, the British East India Company attempted to consolidate its authority in southern India by rolling back the prerogatives of warrior elites. This in turn generated revolts by disgruntled chieftains eager to retain their privileges. Conventional interpretations have viewed the relationship between independent warrior bands and the colonial state as mutually exclusive and irreconcilable. However a closer examination of the sources reveals that the emerging colonial state maintained control and pacified resistance by engaging in mutually beneficial alliances with loyalist warrior groups.
