Inhaltsangabe

Explores the real motives and consequences of British rule in India, from commerce to moral mission.

This study delves into how governance, policy, and personal sacrifice shaped a complex relationship between Britain and its Indian subjects. The book surveys British purpose in India, the clash between self-interest and public service, and how ideas of democracy and modernization evolved under colonial rule. It blends historical analysis with excerpts and appendices that reveal the debates and dilemmas faced by both sides, including perspectives on Gandhi, nationalism, religion, and education.

• Key questions about why Britain stayed in India and what it hoped to achieve beyond trade.
• Illustrative examples of service and personal sacrifice by English officials and missionaries.
• Discussion of political reforms, national movements, and the ideas shaping Indian self-government.
• Guided references and a broad bibliography for further study of India under British rule.

Ideal for readers seeking a historical perspective on the forces that defined modern India and its relationship with Britain.
