The Dumb Shall Speak And The Deaf Shall Hear - Florence Nightingale - Bog

The Dumb Shall Speak And The Deaf Shall Hear: Or The Ryot, The Zemindar, And The Government is a book written by Florence Nightingale in 1883. The book is a collection of letters and essays that explore the issues faced by the Indian population during the British colonial rule. The title of the book is derived from a quote by the Indian reformer Rammohan Roy, who believed that the voiceless and oppressed in society would eventually be heard and their grievances addressed. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of Indian society. The first part, ""The Ryot"", examines the plight of the Indian peasant farmer who was often exploited by the British landlords. Nightingale argues that the British government should take measures to protect the rights of the farmers and prevent them from being exploited. The second part, ""The Zemindar"", focuses on the role of the Indian landlords who were often corrupt and oppressive towards their tenants. Nightingale argues that the British government should take steps to reform the land tenure system and ensure that the landlords are held accountable for their actions. The third part, ""The Government"", examines the role of the British government in India and the policies they implemented. Nightingale criticizes the British government for their lack of understanding of Indian culture and their failure to address the needs of the Indian people. Overall, The Dumb Shall Speak And The Deaf Shall Hear: Or The Ryot, The Zemindar, And The Government is a powerful critique of British colonial rule in India. Nightingale's insights into the social and economic issues faced by the Indian population are still relevant today and her call for social justice and reform continues to inspire readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
