Download or read book The India China Opium Trade in the Nineteenth Century written by Hunt Janin and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1823 to 1860 a fleet of small, fast brigs and schooners carried chests of opium from India to China, often facing the challenges of pirates and typhoons along the way. This shadowy trade, conducted by American, British, and Indian firms, thrived despite its moral and legal consequences. Drawing largely on primary sources, the story of the opium trade comes through in the voices of those who saw it firsthand. Appendices describe a favorite shipboard recipe, two of the ships involved in the trade and their crews, excerpts from accounts of the Opium War, and language equivalents for proper and place names. A bibliography is included, and maps and photographs help illumine this important and unusual period of history.

Book excerpt: This is the story of the world's biggest drug deal. In the nineteenth century, the British East India Company operated a triangle of trade that straddled the globe, running from India to China to Britain. From India to China, they took opium. From China to Britain, they took tea. From Britain to India, they brought empire. It was a machine that consumed cheap Indian land and labour and spat out money. The British had two problems, though. They were importing enormous amounts of tea from China, but the Celestial Empire looked down on British goods and only wanted silver in return. Simultaneously, the expanding colony in India was proving far too expensive to maintain. The British solved both problems with opium, which became the source of income on which they built their empire. For more than a century, the British knew that the drug was dangerous and continued to trade in it anyway. Its legacy in India, whether the poverty of Bihar or the wealth of Bombay, is still not acknowledged. Like many colonial institutions in India, the story of opium is one of immense pain for many and huge privileges for a few.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise and Progress of British Opium Smuggling: The Illegality of the East India Company's Monopoly of the Drug; And Its Injurious Effects Upon India, China, and the Commerce of Great Britain In a statistical paper, printed for the Court of Directors of the East India Company in 1853, the first words are, In Bengal the revenue from Opium is realised by means of a Government monopoly; and almost immediately thereupon follow these sen tenoes The ordinary consequences of monopoly, increase of price to the consumer and restriction on the employment of capital and industry, are not wanting in the opium system; the free cultivation of the poppy would doubtless lead to the larger outlay of capital, and to greater economy of production. It is a pity for India, my Lord, that so sound and Slmple an axiom in political economy has ever been departed from, and that now the consequences of such de parture from right principle have evolved those evils which render retrogressive measures imperatively necessary.
