Victoria & Abdul | Welcome to the Peacock Throne

Ойын-сауық

Queen Victoria (Judi Dench) welcomes Abdul Karim’s (Ali Fazal) family to her home in England. Fascinated by the black burgas worn by Abdul’s wife and mother-in-law, Victoria asks to see the women’s faces. Her interest in India is evident as Victoria had a detailed Durbar Room and a replica of the Peacock Throne built in her home before their visit, much to the dismay of the prime minister, Lord Salisbury (Michael Gambon), and other household members.
Film Synopsis:
The extraordinary true story of an unexpected friendship in the later years of Queen Victoria's (Academy Award® winner Judi Dench) remarkable rule. When Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal), a young clerk, travels from India to participate in the Queen's Golden Jubilee, he is surprised to find favor with the Queen herself. As the Queen questions the constrictions of her long-held position, the two forge an unlikely and devoted alliance with a loyalty to one another that her household and inner circle all attempt to destroy. As the friendship deepens, the Queen begins to see a changing world through new eyes and joyfully reclaims her humanity.

    If public information is anything to go by, she was the only Empress/Emperor of India to actually take the job seriously and understand its meaning. As she says later on in this film, at the time of the film's events she has nearly 1 billion subjects. She didn't view Indian people any differently to people from anywhere else she was sovereign, or at least she didn't view them as less than simply because of where they were born - she was their monarch, they were her subjects/citizens, and she had as much of an obligation and duty to them as she did to the British. Part of me genuinely thinks that if Edward VII had been like Queen Victoria in that way, Indian independence would've come decades earlier and been a lot smoother process. As it was, Edward VII took after the men in his life, George V took after Edward VII, and it wasn't until George VI that Britain had a monarch as self-aware and open-minded as Queen Victoria had been. Thankfully though, each monarch since George VI has definitely stayed in that mould, and I imagine the next two are in that mould too

    ​@@shnopemany Empires have subjugated other People's Lands, not just The British. The British also spread Democracy, and left many of their Colonies better after they left. The Communist Soviet Union brutally subjugated Eastern Europe just this last Century, killing Tens of Millions of Christians in the name of Atheism. The Mongols brutally conquered a swath of Land from China to The Black Sea and The Mongols were far more blood thirsty than The British. The Moors seized all of North Africa and Spain to spread Islam, in a ruthless quest for Empire. In many respects, The British were far more restrained than many tyrannical Empires in the last 1,000 Years.

    Well it might be me and my 21st century sensibilities, but if you were to claim a title like Empress of India (which was supposed to be the successor of the Kaisar-i-Hind title of the Mughal Emperors) then you’d need to show gestures of accepting and assimilating some part of that culture such as by having personal servants and staff from said area, including them in government, adopting some of their trappings, etc. The Durbar Room seems to be just logical so IDK why the government officials are so shocked.
