'Honourable Machinations': The Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy Baronetcy and the Indian Response to the Honours System in India

Jesse S. Palsetia

UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH, CANADA, palsetia{at}uoguelph.ca

This paper examines the Indian response to the development of an honours system and imperial rites in India in the first half of the nineteenth century, and in particular the efforts by the Jejeebhoy family and its supporters to obtain the Indian businessman Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy a hereditary baronetcy prior to his death. It argues that the baronetcy scheme of Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy and the Indian response to honours in general marked the recognition of the important role of imperial ideology among Indians.

Key Words: baronetcy • colonial response • colonial setting • imperial ideology • imperial rituals • Indian honours system • Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy • Parsis
