Notable Martinians - Lucknow

Introduction

The Masters and Boys of the School were collectively awarded battle colours by Queen Victoria in 1860 for the defence of the Martiniere post against a huge force at the old Bailey Gate during the 1857 siege of Lucknow. Sir Colin Campbell’s report to the East India court of Governors reads “During this six month period many individual acts of valor were performed and young lives sacrificed in the fierce and tenacious defence of the Bailey Gate. The Constantia boys fought off the repeated attacks of a determined and persistent enemy and took their place in the line of battle alongside the regular regiments of the East India army…... The East India Army is honoured that Her Imperial Majesty has most graciously commanded the award of The Royal standard for courage, given to our bravest regiments, to the boys and masters of La Martiniere School...”

The list of Old Martinians from the Lucknow School is distinguished by one recent Nobel Prize winner laureate Rajendra K. Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [ [http://www.france-in-india.org/en/article.php3?id_article=1317 M.S Swaminathan , R.K Pachauri, Ela Bhatt, Father C. Prakash receive French Govt. awards] accessed June 2007 ] .

IPCC led by Dr. Pachauri shares the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 with Al Gore.

The School scores heavily with its contribution to defence, police and administrative services.

Sadly with the partition of the country many of the school’s former Muslim pupils, who came from the former predominately Muslim area of Lucknow, had to leave for Pakistan in the mass exodus of the muslim population. Amonst the millions who left many have been forgotten, but here in the La Martiniere list a tiny number of muslim boys, who were alumni of the school will be remembered for their contribution to the administration of undivided India and to their valour in great wars that the British Indian Army fought.

The history of the school is a long one, A large number of Anglo Indians boys are missing in this list of fame. Many Anglo Indians identities have been submerged within the identities of the British, Australian and Canadian populations. This small community has had outstanding achievements at every level of society for hundreds of years, but that record of achievement has been hidden, passed over or co-opted as British, by British historians hiding the fact that they were actually (anglo) Indians who were born and educated in India in schools like La Martiniere.
