Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the British administration of India during the 19th century. The author contends that the British East India Company did not act in the best interest of the Indian people. The British, motivated by greed, sought to extract as much wealth as possible from India. As a result, the Indian people were impoverished, and the country was left in a state of economic and social backwardness. The book argues that the British could have used their power to improve the lives of the Indian people. They could have invested in infrastructure, education, and healthcare. They could have promoted economic development and created opportunities for the Indian people to improve their lives. However, the British chose not to do these things. Instead, they focused on extracting wealth from India and enriching themselves. The book concludes by arguing that the British administration of India was a failure. The British did not improve the lives of the Indian people. Instead, they impoverished the country and left it in a state of economic and social backwardness.
