How the "Raj" came to pass (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781725934689)

This is a book about the British foray into India and called How the Raj came to pass. It is a voyage from the start to the end of the British Empire and it seeks to understand and explain the ideas and the various tricks that kept the Raj going for the nearly 200 years that it did. It also wants to portray the disastrous effects that it had on the Indian nation and the people in general it tries to showcase as to the real reason that the British came how it all came to happen? Why did they come? What did they expect to gain here? Was destroying a civilization or a religion on the cards for a developed nation with an army rich with guns and ordinance? Or were they here only for a jaunt and a safari? Some people say that the British wanted to rule the whole world and spread their form of Christianity and lifestyle everywhere others are of the opinion that they came in with only looting on their minds while still others are of the opinion that they wanted a share in the riches or definitely a share in the Trade and Commerce that India commanded. The Author also likes to pose questions to his audience and tries to answer them too. But one wonders how the emancipation of the soul of a nation continued unabated for centuries and was not brought to task ever
