Book Synopsis Ideology and Empire in Eighteenth-Century India by : Robert Travers
Download or read book Ideology and Empire in Eighteenth-Century India written by Robert Travers and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-19 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Travers' analysis of British conquests in late eighteenth-century India shows how new ideas were formulated about the construction of empire. After the British East India Company conquered the vast province of Bengal, Britons confronted the apparent anomaly of a European trading company acting as an Indian ruler. Responding to a prolonged crisis of imperial legitimacy, British officials in Bengal tried to build their authority on the basis of an 'ancient constitution', supposedly discovered among the remnants of the declining Mughal Empire. In the search for an indigenous constitution, British political concepts were redeployed and redefined on the Indian frontier of empire, while stereotypes about 'oriental despotism' were challenged by the encounter with sophisticated Indian state forms. This highly original book uncovers a forgotten style of imperial state-building based on constitutional restoration, and in the process opens up new points of connection between British, imperial and South Asian history.

Book Synopsis The Scandal of Empire by : Nicholas B. Dirks
Download or read book The Scandal of Empire written by Nicholas B. Dirks and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many have told of the East India Company’s extraordinary excesses in eighteenth-century India, of the plunder that made its directors fabulously wealthy and able to buy British land and titles, but this is only a fraction of the story. When one of these men—Warren Hastings—was put on trial by Edmund Burke, it brought the Company’s exploits to the attention of the public. Through the trial and after, the British government transformed public understanding of the Company’s corrupt actions by creating an image of a vulnerable India that needed British assistance. Intrusive behavior was recast as a civilizing mission. In this fascinating, and devastating, account of the scandal that laid the foundation of the British Empire, Nicholas Dirks explains how this substitution of imperial authority for Company rule helped erase the dirty origins of empire and justify the British presence in India. The Scandal of Empire reveals that the conquests and exploitations of the East India Company were critical to England’s development in the eighteenth century and beyond. We see how mercantile trade was inextricably linked with imperial venture and scandalous excess and how these three things provided the ideological basis for far-flung British expansion. In this powerfully written and trenchant critique, Dirks shows how the empire projected its own scandalous behavior onto India itself. By returning to the moment when the scandal of empire became acceptable we gain a new understanding of the modern culture of the colonizer and the colonized and the manifold implications for Britain, India, and the world.

Download or read book A Biography Of Warren Hastings written by Sir Alfred Lyall KCB and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important biography of the first Governor-General of Bengal and architect of the growing dominance of the British in India during the 18th and 19th centuries. “The influence of Warren Hastings in laying the foundation of Britain’s empire in India is second only to that of Clive. While Clive made his mark primary in the military realm, Hastings’ contribution was administrative. One would typically suppose that the life of a military man would involve more danger and drama than that of an executive, but Britain’s newly won realm in India was a positive snake-pit, complete with crooks, swindlers, busy-bodies, corrupt officials, corrupt natives, seething discontent, bribery, treachery, looming warfare, and rank depravity. “Into this cesspool, Hastings was sent as governor-general, and for twelve years, under nearly impossible conditions, he implemented a great many reforms and fought two major wars. He left the administration of the East India Company in Bengal immeasurably better than the way he found it, and yet on his return to Britain, he was indicted for corruption by people who had no idea of the conditions he worked under. His trial lasted for seven years, nearly bankrupted him, and was largely a vehicle for sanctimonious grand-standing and political theatre. Most sane people would prefer an honorable death in combat to what Hastings endured, or, like Clive, simply blown their own head off. But Hastings endured all, and in the end was roundly vindicated.- heritage-history.com
