Die Belagerung von Kanpur ist ein Ereignis im Rahmen des Indischen Aufstands von 1857. In der Garnison von Kanpur verschanzte britische Militärs, Beamte und Zivilpersonen wurden dabei über mehrere Wochen von aufständischen indischen Truppen unter Leitung von Nana Sahib belagert. Nach langem schweren Beschuss, bei der eine große Zahl der Verschanzten ums Leben kam, nahmen die in der Garnison befindlichen Militärs die von Nana Sahib angebotenen Kapitulationsbedingungen an. Diese versprachen einen freien Abzug. Bei der Besteigung der Boote am Gangeshafen Sati Chowra eröffneten die indischen Truppen jedoch das Feuer. Die überlebenden britischen Männer wurden nahezu alle an Ort und Stelle erschossen. Nur einer Handvoll gelang die Flucht. Etwa 125 britische Frauen und Kinder überlebten und wurden zurück nach Kanpur gebracht. In Kanpur wurden sie gemeinsam mit anderen britischen Flüchtlingen – überwiegend ebenfalls Frauen und Kinder – in einem Haus mit der Bezeichnung Bibighar eingesperrt. Kurz bevor britische Truppen Kanpur eroberten, wurden diese Gefangenen – insgesamt 73 Frauen und 124 Kinder – mit Äxten und Beilen erschlagen. Für die britische Öffentlichkeit waren die in Kanpur erfolgten Massaker ein Ereignis traumatischen Ausmaßes, das sie stärker beschäftigte als der an Opfern deutlich verlustreichere Krimkrieg. Zeitgenossen wie der angesehene Historiker George Trevelyan bezeichneten die Belagerung als „die schrecklichste Tragödie unseres Zeitalters“ oder „das größte Desaster für unsere Rasse“. Gemeinsam mit der Belagerung von Lakhnau zählen die Ereignisse in Kanpur noch heute aus britischer Sicht zu den „großen Opferdramen“ des Aufstands. Das im Anschluss an die Belagerung erfolgte Massaker an wehrlosen Frauen und Kindern ließ die Briten ihre bislang schon sehr aggressive Kriegsführung nochmals deutlich verschärfen und zu harten Repressionsmaßnahmen greifen. Diese fanden zunächst in der britischen Öffentlichkeit breite Zustimmung. So forderten einzelne als Vergeltungsmaßnahme für das in Kanpur erfolgte Massaker die völlige Zerstörung von Delhi und die Hinrichtung aller, die in irgendeiner Weise mit dem Aufstand assoziiert waren. Es mehrten sich allerdings bereits kurz nach 1857 auch in der britischen Öffentlichkeit Stimmen, die die Repressalien als unangemessen beurteilten. (de) The siege of Cawnpore was a key episode in the Indian rebellion of 1857. The besieged East India Company forces and civilians in Cawnpore (now Kanpur) were unprepared for an extended siege and surrendered to rebel forces under Nana Sahib in return for a safe passage to Allahabad. However, their evacuation from Cawnpore turned into a massacre, and most of the men were killed. As an East India Company rescue force from Allahabad approached Cawnpore, 120 British women and children captured by the Sepoy forces were killed in what came to be known as the Bibighar Massacre, their remains being thrown down a nearby well in an attempt to hide the evidence. Following the recapture of Cawnpore and the discovery of the massacre, the angry Company forces engaged in widespread retaliation against captured rebel soldiers and local civilians. The murders greatly embittered the British rank-and-file against the Sepoy rebels and inspired the war cry "Remember Cawnpore!". (en) Осада Канпура стала ключевым эпизодом восстания сипаев 1857 года. Британцы, осаждённые в Канпуре, не были готовы к длительной осаде и сдали город силам мятежников под командой Нана Сагиба в обмен на безопасный выход к Аллахабаду. Однако ввиду сомнительных обстоятельств их эвакуация из Канпура превратилась в резню, где погибла большая часть британцев. Захваченные в плен позднее были казнены. Когда силы британской ост-индской компании, направленные на помощь из Аллахабада, достигли Канпура, стали известными обстоятельства резни (получившей название резня у Бибигара). 120 британских женщин и детей, захваченных сипаями, были зарублены насмерть и расчленены при помощи секачей, остатки сброшены в ближайший водоём, чтобы скрыть следы преступления. В ходе захвата Канпура британскими силами и обнаружения последствий резни разъярённые британцы подвергли захваченных мятежников сипаев и гражданских широкомасштабным карательным мерам. Известия о резне ожесточили британских нижних чинов и породили боевой клич «Помни Канпур!». (ru) |
