British And Native Cochin (1860) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781104019747)

British and Native Cochin is a book written by Charles Allen Lawson in 1860. The book provides a comprehensive account of the British presence in the city of Cochin, India, during the 19th century. Lawson describes the social, economic, and political conditions of the city, as well as the interactions between the British colonizers and the native population.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of life in Cochin. Lawson begins by describing the geography and climate of the region, and then moves on to discuss the history of British colonization in India. He explains how the British East India Company established a trading post in Cochin in the early 17th century, and how this led to the eventual establishment of a British presence in the city.Lawson then goes on to describe the social and economic conditions of Cochin during the 19th century. He explains how the city was divided into different neighborhoods, each of which was inhabited by a different ethnic or religious group. He also describes the various industries that were present in the city, including fishing, agriculture, and trade.One of the most interesting aspects of the book is Lawson's description of the interactions between the British colonizers and the native population. He explains how the British attempted to impose their own culture and values on the native population, and how this led to tensions and conflicts between the two groups. He also describes the ways in which the native population resisted British domination, including through acts of rebellion and protest.Overall, British and Native Cochin provides a fascinating insight into the history of British colonization in India, as well as the complex social and political dynamics of life in Cochin during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
