A few sources to consider:
Arnold, David. Colonizing the Body: State Medicine and Epidemic Disease in Nineteenth-Century India. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1993.
Oldenburg, Veena Talwar. The Making of Colonial Lucknow, 1856-1877. Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1984.
Dutta, J. P., Aishwariya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan, Sunil Shetty, Shabana Azmi, Jāved Akhtar, Annu Malik, Mirza Mohammad Hadi Ruswa, and Vaibhavi Merchant. Umrao Jaan Umarāva Jāna = Umrāo Jān Adā. Mumbai, India: Adlabs, 2006.
Rokeẏā, Rokeya, and Barnita Bagchi. Sultana's Dream ; And Padmarag : Two Feminist Utopias. New Delhi: Penguin, 2005.
This last book, in particular, is an interesting counterpoint to Umrao Jan Ada in that it imagines early utopian feminist politics while Ruswa has a much more limited ideal.
