The British experience in India began in earnest over four hundred years ago during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I For many years the English interlopers and traders who made contact with the subcontinent were viewed by Indians as little more than pirates and potentially troublesome conquering barbarians After a series of titanic struggles against the French and various local rulers during the eighteenth century by the end of the Napoleonic Wars Britain had gained mastery of the subcontinent This period and the century and a half that followed saw two powerful cultures locked in an often bloody battle over political control land trade and a way of lifeDenis Judd tells the fascinating story of the remarkable British impact upon India All aspects of this long and controversial relationship are discussed such as the first tentative contacts between East and West the foundation of the East India Company in 1600 the Victorian Raj in all its pomp and splendour Gandhis revolutionary tactics tooverthrow the Raj and restore Indian to the Indians and Lord Mountbattens swift surgery of Partition in 1947 creating the two independent Commonwealth states of India and Pakistan Against this epic backdrop and using many revealing contemporary accounts Denis Judd explores the consequences of British rule for both rulers and ruled Were the British intent on development or exploitation Were they the civilizing force they claimed What were Britains greatest legacies democracy and the rule of law or cricket and an efficient railway system Easy answers are avoided in this immensely readable lively and authoritative book

The popular image of the British Rajan era of efficient but officious governors sycophantic local functionaries doting amahs blisteringly hot days and torrid nightschronicled 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 controlThrough the lives of administrators soldiers and subjectsboth British and IndianThe Chaos of Empire traces Britains imperial rule from the East India Companys first transactions in the 1600s to Indian Independence in 1947 The Raj was the most public demonstration of a states 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 Rajs institutionsfrom law courts to railway lineswere designed to protect British power without benefiting the people they ruled This selfserving and careless governance resulted in an impoverished people and a stifled society not a glorious Indian empireJon Wilsons new portrait of a muchmythologized era finally and convincingly proves that the story of benign British triumph was a carefully concocted fiction here thoroughly and totally debunked

From the mideighteenth century onwards British women started traveling in any numbers to the East Indies mostly to accompany husbands brothers or fathers Very little about them is recorded from the earlier years about the remarkable journeys that they made and what drove them to travel those huge distances Some kept journals others wrote letters and for the first time Patrick Wheeler tells their story in this fascinating and colorful history exploring the littleknown lives of these women and their experiences of life in India before the RajWith a perceptive approach Ribbons Among the Rajahs considers all aspects of womens lives in India from the original discomfort of traversing the globe and the complexities of arrival through to creating a home in a tightknight settlement community It considers too the effects of the subservience of women to the needs of men and argues for the greater fusion of European cultures that existed prior to imperial times

Perched among peaks that loom over heatshimmering plains hill stations remain among the most curious monuments to the British colonial presence in India In this engaging and meticulously researched study Dane Kennedy explores the development and history of the hill stations of the raj He shows that these cloudenshrouded havens were sites of both refuge and surveillance for British expatriates sanctuaries from the harsh climate as well as an alien culture artificial environments where colonial rulers could nurture educate and reproduce themselves commanding heights from which orders could be issued with an Olympian authorityKennedy charts the symbolic and sociopolitical functions of the hill stations over the course of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries arguing that these highland communities became much more significant to the British colonial government than mere places for rest and play Particularly after the revolt of 1857 they became headquarters for colonial political and military authorities In addition the hill stations provided employment to countless Indians who worked as porters merchants government clerks domestics and carpentersThe isolation of British authorities at the hill stations reflected the paradoxical character of the British raj itself Kennedy argues While attempting to control its subjects it remained aloof from Indian society Ironically as more Indians were drawn to these mountain areas for work and later for vacation the carefully guarded boundaries between the British and their subjects eroded Kennedy argues that after the turn of the century the hill stations were increasingly incorporated into the landscape of Indian social and cultural life
