Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Defence of British India (1984) illustrates the problems arising from the British need to defend an Indian empire against the fluctuations in the European balance of power, preferably by isolating the empire from the European political system. The strategies devised by Britain to forestall and later to counter the expansion of European empires into the Middle East are known as the Great Game, which began in 1798 in response to the French invasion of Egypt. Later, the British planned an offensive in the Middle East itself as a means by which to defend their Indian empire.

Book Synopsis The Emergence of British Power in India, 1600-1784 by : G. J. Bryant
Download or read book The Emergence of British Power in India, 1600-1784 written by G. J. Bryant and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2013 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empires have usually been founded by charismatic, egoistic warriors or power-hungry states and peoples, sometimes spurred on by a sense of religious mission. So how was it that the nineteenth-century British Indian Raj was so different? Arising, initially, from the militant policies and actions of a bunch of London merchants chartered as the English East India Company by Queen Elizabeth in 1600, for one hundred and fifty years they had generally pursued a peaceful and thereby profitable trade in the India, recognized by local Indian princes as mutually beneficial. Yet from the 1740s, Company men began to leave the counting house for the parade ground, fighting against the French and the Indian princes over the next forty years until they stood upon the threshold of succeeding the declining Mughul Empire as the next hegamon of India. This book roots its explanation of this phenomenon in the evidence of the words and thoughts of the major, and not-so major, players, as revealed in the rich archives of the early Raj. Public dispatches from the Company's servants in India to their masters in London contain elaborate justifications and records of debates in its councils for the policies (grand strategies) adopted to deal with the challenges created by the unstable political developments of the time. Thousands of surviving private letters between Britons in India and the homeland reveal powerful underlying currents of ambition, cupidity and jealousy and how they impacted on political manoeuvring and the development of policy at both ends. This book shows why the Company became involved in the military and political penetration of India and provides a political and military narrative of the Company's involvement in the wars with France and with several Indian powers. G. J. Bryant, who has a Ph.D. from King's College London, has written extensively on the British military experience in eighteenth-century India.

Download or read book British India written by R. Montgomery Martin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British India: Its History, Topography, Government, Military Defence, Finance, Commerce, and Staple Products; With an Exposition of the Social and Religious State of One Hundred Million Subjects of the Crown of England The British Possessions in India cannot, in the ordinary sense of the word, be termed colonies; they have been acquired by pur chase, cession, or conquest, at various periods, within the last hundred years, as will be shown in subsequent pages. Up to the year 1784, their affairs were administered by a joint-stock trading body, termed the East India Company, which was originally incorporated in 1601, and endowed with exclusive trading privileges in relation to India and China. Since 1784, the political functions of the Company have been con trolled by the direct authority of the Crown, acting through a ministerial board of com missioners for the affairs of India; by this double government the governor-general, the subordinate governors, the command ersdn-chief of the army and other function aries have been appointed, in the name of the sovereign. In 1813, the mercantile mo nopoly possessed by the Company in the continental portion of the East Indies was abrogated by parliamentary enactment, * and the commerce thrown open to all British subjects but the exclusive trade with China was still left in the hands of the association, and individuals not engaged in the service of the Crown or of the Company were obliged to obtain from the latter a licence or permission to reside in India.
