The magnificent buildings constructed by the British in India many of which may still be seen by the traveller did not spring simply from the fancy of the architects or from purely aesthetic or administrative concerns Rather they embodied a vision the British had of themselves as rulers of India An Imperial Vision examines the relationship between culture and power as expressed in the architectural forms the British employed in India From the great monuments of New Delhi to the most obscure structures in dusty country towns these buildings visibly represented in stone the choices the British made in politics as imperial rulers The author illustrates how in the years after the uprising of 1857 the British constructed a vision of themselves not as mere foreign conquerors but as legitimate almost indigenous rulers linked directly to the Mughals and hence to Indias own past In so doing they created the distinctive forms of socalled IndoSaracenic architecture For a half a century this building sustained a new ideology of empire Yet this selfconfidence could not endure forever By the 1920s despite the massive building projects underway on the plains of Delhi the knowledge and the power that upheld the Raj had alike begun to slip awayAn Imperial Vision by its focus upon the relationships of culture and power that underlay the colonial order throws light on the distinctive nature of late nineteenthcentury imperialism and more generally on the way political authority takes shape in monumental architecture
