The Development of Self Government in India (Classic Reprint): 1858-1914: 1858-1914 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Charting a pivotal chapter in imperial history—the slow creeping birth of local self-government in British India. This study surveys how British rule evolved from its early merchant roots to a structured political framework after 1858. It examines the vast, diverse Indian landscape and the challenges of applying European government ideas to a continent with many languages, faiths, and traditions. The work looks at how reforms attempted to balance control with representative institutions, and how leaders and thinkers navigated a complex social order.
The volume traces the expansion of British authority from Madras, Bombay, and Calcutta to the wider subcontinent, and it analyzes the incentives, constraints, and consequences of pursuing self-government in a multi-ethnic society. It places specific emphasis on the transition after the dissolution of the East India Company and the role of the imperial government in shaping policy and practice. Through debates, statutes, and personal voices from the period, the book reveals the practical difficulties of introducing representative governance while preserving administrative oversight.
- Learn how local boards and district councils were designed, limited, and supervised.
- Understand the competing pressures of caste, creed, and regional diversity in shaping reforms.
- Explore key debates and influential figures who argued for and against broader electoral representation.
- See how the very idea of self-government evolved within the unique context of British India.
Ideal for readers of modern Indian history, imperial governance, and students seeking a concise, accessible account of a crucial transitional era.
