British India (1896) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436996570)

British India is a comprehensive historical account of British rule in India, written by Robert Watson Frazer and originally published in 1896. The book covers the period from the arrival of the British East India Company in the early 17th century to the end of the 19th century, and provides a detailed analysis of the political, social, economic and cultural impact of British imperialism on India.The book begins with a brief overview of the early history of India, before moving on to explore the arrival of the British and the establishment of their rule. It covers the various stages of British expansion and consolidation, from the establishment of trading posts to the eventual annexation of Indian territories.Throughout the book, Frazer examines the complex relationship between the British and the Indian people, exploring issues such as the impact of British economic policies, the role of religion and caste in Indian society, and the various social and political movements that emerged in response to British rule.In addition to its historical analysis, British India also provides a wealth of information on the geography, climate, flora and fauna of India, as well as descriptions of the various regions and cities that make up the country.Overall, British India is a seminal work on the history of India under British rule, providing a detailed and nuanced account of the complex relationship between two very different cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
