Ibn-ul-Waqt: Representation of First Generation of Pro British Ashrafia in South Asia

Abstract

The character of Ibn ul Waqt by Deputy Nazir Ahmed is the reflection of the first generation of pro-British Ashrafia during nineteenth century, who initiated the agenda of modernity in South Asia. Generally, it is a negative image that comes to mind when the term Ibn-ul-Waqt is used, signifying a wicked opportunist without principles. The lead character is not portrayed in this way but developed with some empathy as a man forced by circumstance to change his personality to suit the times of post war 1857, a change that he is convinced is good for him and for those around him. Ibn-ul-Waqt is a “babu”, the servile Asian caricature developed by Kipling that lives on and on, who assumes false humility with those superior to him and takes on the airs of gentility with his inferiors. This was the new elite that was English literate and followed the mannerisms and outward lifestyle of foreigners to display their close association with the ruling classes. This class was an equivalent of the English “gentleman”, a nineteenth century in South Asia coinage that signified not a distinction of blood or heredity title but sophistication in manners brought on by education.
