This book deals with the establishment and expansion of British rule from the Carnatic Wars and the Battle of Plassey to the enactment of the Charter Act of 1813, which divested the East India Company of its monopoly over the commerce with England, and this opened the chapter of India's 'de-industrialization' through free trade. The monograph examines the military and other causes of British success and the cost of that success that the Indian people had to bear. A long chapter is devoted to the construction of British colonial administration, from which all Indian elements were, by stages, weeded out. Extracts from sources enliven the narrative; and there are important notes on military technology, the 'subsidiary alliance' system, organization of the Company's 'civil service' and the construction of 'colonial knowledge' about India.

MR. MUKERJI'S GHOSTS - CLASSIC GHOST STORIES WITH THE SPICE OF THE SUBCONTINENT Mr S. Mukerji works very diligently in an office. It is not very interesting work, but Mr Mukerji has another far more diverting interest. He is an expert in ghosts and stories of ghosts. It is the height of the British Raj and Mr Mukerji is in an ideal position to discover stories about the 'sahibs' of India as he is about the Indians themselves. Mr Mukerji has (extraordinarily) a foot not just in two worlds - but in three - he is intimate with the 'other side' too. Here are tales of hauntings to amuse, puzzle and (mildly) chill the blood. Anyone who is enchanted by Kipling will enjoy Mr Mukerji's penmanship - supernatural tales from an Indian perspective from places as haunted as old English castles ever were.

The popular image of the British Raj-an era of efficient but officious governors, sycophantic local functionaries, doting amahs, blisteringly hot days and torrid nights-chronicled by Forster and Kipling is a glamorous, nostalgic, but entirely fictitious. In this dramatic revisionist history, Jon Wilson upends the carefully sanitized image of unity, order, and success to reveal an empire rooted far more in violence than in virtue, far more in chaos than in control. Through the lives of administrators, soldiers, and subjects-both British and Indian-The Chaos of Empire traces Britain's imperial rule from the East India Company's first transactions in the 1600s to Indian Independence in 1947. The Raj was the most public demonstration of a state's ability to project power far from home, and its perceived success was used to justify interventions around the world in the years that followed. But the Raj's institutions-from law courts to railway lines-were designed to protect British power without benefiting the people they ruled. This self-serving and careless governance resulted in an impoverished people and a stifled society, not a glorious Indian empire. Jon Wilson's new portrait of a much-mythologized era finally and convincingly proves that the story of benign British triumph was a carefully concocted fiction, here thoroughly and totally debunked.
