Defeat and Death of Dhoondiah at Conaghull, 1800
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - the defeat and death of Indian military leader Dhondia Wagh, also known as Malik Jahan Khan. The scene unfolds in present-day Raichur district, Karnataka, India on September 10th, 1800. At the center of this powerful image is Arthur Wellesley, the renowned Duke of Wellington. Mounted on a majestic white horse, he symbolizes British dominance during the battle of Konagal or Conaghalli. On the right side lies the lifeless body of Dhondia Wagh atop a gun carriage - an undeniable testament to his ultimate defeat. The detailed engraving by J Rogers showcases not only the key figures but also highlights elements that define this era: flags fluttering proudly in the wind representing Britain's colonial presence; an elephant standing tall amidst chaos; and a cart carrying fallen soldiers. In this early-mid 19th century artwork from John Tallis & Company, London & New York), Abraham Cooper skillfully portrays both victory and loss with striking monochrome contrasts. The somber atmosphere surrounding Dhondia Wagh's corpse serves as a reminder of imperialistic ambitions while paying homage to those who fought valiantly for their cause. This print stands as a poignant historical document capturing an important chapter in India's struggle against colonialism. It invites viewers to reflect upon power dynamics, sacrifice, and resilience within our shared human history.
