Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonization, Defence, and Railways in Our Indian Empire In all this which has been done for India in a century, it will strike the dispassionate observer to see how little has been done for England, beyond endowing her with the political possession of the country. That possession brings no virtual acces sion to the imperial revenue: it affords to a few individual citizens some noble prizes of ambition; it affords employment to a limited number of civilians and officers; but it feeds our wealth only through its commercial development, as the United States and South America do. For the bulk of the population, for the extension of the English name and race, the empire of India has done nothing; while the wastes of Canada, Australia, and South Africa have been filled with our people, a few hundreds of our citizens alone represent us in the rich up-country of the presidencies. In the presidential cities alone have we any considerable English population, and even there we have not taken permanent root, for the Eurasian population is inconsiderable.

Excerpt: ... and Hindostan are abundant and of superior description, and in consequence of the great competition between the native dealers, cheaper than in the plains. Christchurch, built by subscription, and finished in 1837, is a neat slated structure with a turret. The Himalaya club had, in 1842, 155 members. The clubhouse contains accommodation for sixteen resident members, who have each a sittingroom, bed-room, and bath. There are besides a handsome ball-room, two billiard-rooms, a diningroom, and coffee-room, with all accommodation suitable for such an establishment. To these it was intended to add a reading-room, supplied with the best periodicals. In this flourishing little settlement there are two well-managed and successful schools for young ladies, and one for boys. Beer is brewed from native barley and English hops, and the result has been so encouraging that a large brewery has been set up. A bank was established in 1841, and has been very successful. A humble botanic garden, subsidiary to that of Saharunpoor, is managed here by natives, at the expense of 66 rupees ( 6 12s.) per month. Of the diseases contracted in the plains, the effects of a residence here are found favorable to fevers of intermittent and remittent type, dyspepsia, dysentery, liver complaint, pulmonary consumption, rheumatism, general debility, or exhaustion of the constitution. Affections of the heart have had invariably a fatal result. Children thrive remarkably here, though there have been some instances of their being affected with bronchocele or goitre, which has, however, been cured by administering iodine. Mussooree is distant north-west from Calcutta, by Lucknow, Bareilly, Hurdwar, and Dehra, 983 miles. Elevation above the sea, 6,282 feet. Lat. 30 27';...

Download or read book Indian Railways as Connected With British Empire in the East Classic Reprint written by William P. Andrew and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Railways as Connected With British Empire in the East Delhi Railway, that from Lahore to Ghasiabad, a length of 335 miles. This is fed by metalled roads only at the stations of Amritsar, J ullun dur, Ludhiana, Rajpura, Umballa, Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, and Meerut, z'.e. At intervals of 32, 49, 35, 53, 13, 55, 36, 35, and 27 miles; while the other stations, thirty-six in number, are practicably unapproachable by cart traflic for three months in the year, and during the remaining nine months only at a heavy cost in carts and bullocks, which have to make their way over the village tracks which do duty for roads. To anyone who sees the actual state of the case, the wonder is that a large portion of the traffic ever gets to the line at all. I have shown, indeed, in more than one of my Inspection Reports, from cases that have actually come under my notice, that the cost of cartage to the line, even in fair weather, is from ten to forty times the cost of carriage over the same length on the railway; though even this is a mild statement of the case, for such is the state of the cross-country roads that, in the rainy season, they are practicably impassable by carts, and traffic is more or less suspended all over the country. Let it be borne in mind that the above line passes through a richly cultivated and populous country for the whole of its length, and is very much better provided with roads than other line.

Download or read book The Cambridge Illustrated History of the British Empire written by P. J. Marshall and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-08-02 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up to World War II and beyond, the British ruled over a vast empire. Modern western attitudes towards the imperial past tend either towards nostalgia for British power or revulsion at what seem to be the abuses of that power. The Cambridge Illustrated History of the British Empire adopts neither of these approaches. It aims to create historical understanding about the British empire on the assumption that such understanding is important for any informed appreciation of the modern world. Through striking illustration and a text written by leading experts, this book examines the experience of colonialism in North America, India, Africa, Australia, and the Caribbean, as well as the impact of the empire on Britain itself. Emphasis is placed on social and cultural history, including slavery, trade, religion, art, and the movement of ideas. How did the British rule their empire? Who benefited economically from the empire? And who lost?

Download or read book Culture and Imperialism written by Edward W. Said and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark work from the author of Orientalism that explores the long-overlooked connections between the Western imperial endeavor and the culture that both reflected and reinforced it. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as the Western powers built empires that stretched from Australia to the West Indies, Western artists created masterpieces ranging from Mansfield Park to Heart of Darkness and Aida. Yet most cultural critics continue to see these phenomena as separate. Edward Said looks at these works alongside those of such writers as W. B. Yeats, Chinua Achebe, and Salman Rushdie to show how subject peoples produced their own vigorous cultures of opposition and resistance. Vast in scope and stunning in its erudition, Culture and Imperialism reopens the dialogue between literature and the life of its time.
