Book Description
Excerpt from Sketches of the Relations Subsisting Between the British Government in India: And the Different Native States Every principality, from the Himalaya to Cape Comorin, and from near the banks of the Indus to those of the Berhampooter, may be considered to bow in implicit obedience to the will of the British Government - all look to it as the supreme ruling power - all acknowledge and appeal to it as the arbiter of foreign relations with neighbouring states - all submit with apparent good will to the relations and conditions by which they are bound to that Government. The power of uniting, or of being individually able to free themselves from that supremacy is now less obvious than at any former period of our history. Prolonged peace will tend to remove still further that hope and that power, so that with what may be considered the internal states of India, there is every prospect of permanent tranquillity. With the external powers there is nothing that immediately threatens to disturb our relations; but with them those relations must rest on less secure grounds than with states more immediately in our neighbourhood, more within the influence of our power, and to whom the extent and presence of that power are more obvious; yet the very remoteness of their position, the little intercourse we hold with them, and the few interests we have in common, are reasons why our relations with them should long remain undisturbed. Our treaty with Runjeet Singh has lasted longer without modification, than any other in India. Over our own subjects our sway seems complete. Its object is to extend the greatest good to the greatest number, and although with particular classes of the community, and with particular tribes, our rule must ever be unpopular, yet all submit to their destiny; some cheerfully from the good it brings them, and all patiently, perhaps because in their eyes it is their destiny, and the day has not yet arrived which opens to them any prospect of a beneficial change. The Indian Army, by which principally these results are produced, like every other army, naturally looks forward to war and its advantages as the time of promise; and reverts to the period of its triumphs with pride and satisfaction.

Empress
Author: Miles TaylorPublisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300243421
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
“A widely and deeply researched, elegantly written, and vital portrayal of [Queen Victoria’s] place in colonial Indian affairs.”(Journal of Modern History) In this engaging and controversial book, Miles Taylor shows how both Victoria and Albert were spellbound by India, and argues that the Queen was humanely, intelligently, and passionately involved with the country throughout her reign and not just in the last decades. Taylor also reveals the way in which Victoria’s influence as empress contributed significantly to India’s modernization, both political and economic. This is, in a number of respects, a fresh account of imperial rule in India, suggesting that it was one of Victoria’s successes. “Readers encounter a detail-attentive and independently minded monarch . . . .Information, offered with verve and occasional humor, fills chapters of Empress with little-known details of Victoria’s active rule as Empress.” —Adrienne Munich, Victorian Studies “This is a nuanced portrait of an empire rich in contradiction.” —Catherine Hall, author of Civilising Subjects “Beautifully written and subtly crafted, this book provides a critical history of the cultural, political, and diplomatic significance of Queen Victoria's role as Empress of India.” —Tristram Hunt, Director of Victoria and Albert Museum “This is a highly intelligent, wonderfully lucid and well researched book that rests on an impressive array of Indian as well as European sources. It makes a powerful case for re-assessing Queen Victoria's own role and political and religious ideas in regard to the subcontinent.” —Linda Colley, author of Britons
Empire of Influence
Author: Callie WilkinsonPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009311697
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Indirect rule is widely considered as a defining feature of the nineteenth and twentieth century British Empire but its divisive earlier history remains largely unexplored. Empire of Influence traces the contentious process whereby the East India Company established a system of indirect rule in India in the first decades of the nineteenth century. In a series of thematic chapters covering intelligence gathering, violence, gift giving and the co-optation of the scribal and courtly elite, Callie Wilkinson foregrounds the disagreement surrounding the tactics of the political representatives of the Company and recaptures the experimental nature of early attempts to secure Company control. She demonstrates how these endeavours were reshaped, exploited and resisted by Indians as well as disputed within the Company itself. This important new account exposes the contested origins of these ambiguous relationships of 'protection' and coercion, while identifying the factors that enabled them to take hold and endure.
