The questions of slavery and the slave trade attracted the early attention of the Honourable Company’s Government. So early as 1702, the year in which British rule commenced, a proclamation was issued by the Commissioners against dealing in slaves. A person offering a slave for sale was to be considered as a thief. The slave was to be forfeited and the person offering him for sale was to be fined five times his value. The purchaser was to be similarly treated. The houses of suspected slave traders were to be well watched and entered and searched on the smallest suspicion, ....
The matter in this and other ways reached the ears of the Court of Directors, and in their despatch of 12th December 1821 they expressed considerable dissatisfaction at the lack of precise information which had been vouchsafed to them regarding the cultivators in general, and in particular said : We are told, indeed, that part of them (an article of very unwelcome intelligence) are held as slaves ; that they are attached to the soil and marketable property.
You are directed to obtain and to communicate to us all the useful information with respect to this latter class of persons which you possibly can; the treatment to which they are liable, the habits of their masters with respect to them, the kind of life to which they are doomed, the sort of title by which the property of them is claimed, the price which they bear and more especially the surest and safest means of ultimately effecting their emancipation.
We also desire to know whether those occupants, 150,000 in number, cultivate immediately the whole of the lands by their slaves and hired servants, or whether there is a class of inferior tenants to whom they let or sub-let a portion of their lands. If there is such an interior class of lessees, you will inform us under what conditions they cultivate, what are their circumstances, and what measures, if any, have been employed for their protection
Under the powerful patronage of the London Missionary Society, whose members in those days could do no wrong, the power of annexation displayed by their Griqua protégés seems to have been amazing. In the course of a few years they claimed the sovereignty of any or every tract of country over which they had either hunted or where their cattle had trekked.
വീട്ടിൽ വളർത്തുന്ന ഏത് മൃഗം മരിച്ചാലും, അവയുടെ ജഡം പറിയരുടെ അവകാശപ്പെട്ട ഭക്ഷണമാണ്. പലപ്പോഴും ഈ വിധം ഭക്ഷണം ലഭിക്കാനായി അവർ പശുക്കൾക്ക് വിഷം നൽകും. അതുമല്ലെങ്കിൽ മറ്റ് ഏതെങ്കിലും രീതിയിൽ ഇവയെ മരണപ്പെടുത്തും. കളവ് പറയുക, ചെറുകിട കളവ് നടത്തുക, അമിത മദ്യപാനം എന്നുള്ളത് എല്ലാ അടിമകളിലും കാണുന്ന ദുർഗുണമാണ്. എന്നാൽ വൻ കവർച്ചകൾ, വ്യക്തികളെ തട്ടിക്കൊണ്ട് പോകൽ, കൊലപാതകം തുടങ്ങിയ ക്രൂരമായ കുറ്റകൃത്യങ്ങൾ ചെയ്തതിന് പറിയർ പിടികൂടപ്പെടാറുണ്ട്. ഈ ജനക്കൂട്ടം ഈ രാജ്യത്തിൽ അധ:പതിച്ചതു മാതിരി മറ്റൊരുടെത്തും സംഭവച്ചിട്ടില്ല.

“The condition of these unhappy beings is, I think, without a parallel in the whole range of history. They are so wretchedly provided with the necessaries of life that the most loathsome things are a treat to them. They are bought and sold like cattle, and are often worse treated. The owners had formerly power to flog them and enchain them, and in some cases to maim them, and even to deprive them of their lives..."
I have seldom met with a case, in which not only truth and justice, but every feeling of our common humanity are so entirely on one side. The whole civilised world would cry shame upon us, if we did not make a firm stand on such an occasion. If any thing could make this line of conduct more incumbent on us, it would be the extraordinary fact that persecution of a singularly personal and delicate kind is attempted to be justified by a Royal Proclamation, the special object of which was to assure to Her Majesty’s Indian subjects, liberty of thought and action, so long as they did not interfere with the just rights of others....
.യേശുകൃസ്തുവേ, പരമസങ്കടം,
അർദ്ധരാത്രിയിൽ കപ്പമോഷണം..
പെൻ്റകോസ്റ്റിൽ ചേരണം,
കപ്പേം മീനും തിന്നണം.
Oh, I heard Queen Victoria say,
That if we would forsake
Our native land of slavery,
And come across the lake;
That she was standin' on de shore,
Wid arms extended wide,
To give us all a peaceful home
Beyond de rolling tide.
Farewell, ole master, etc.
Englishmen can scarcely realise the horror which superstitious natives feel when there is any chance of being approached by a Pulayan, and the disgust with which these unfortunate people are viewed.
