Book Description

This pamphlet, written by Charles Allen of the Bengal Civil Service, is a fascinating glimpse into the world of British colonialism in India. Drawing on his own experiences working under the Marquis of Dalhousie, Allen provides a scathing critique of British policies in India and the impact they had on the local population. At the same time, he offers a nuanced look at the complexities of colonial rule, exploring the tensions between British and Indian cultures and the challenges of governing a diverse and sprawling territory.
