Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Colonies, Vol. 5: Their History, Extent, Condition, and Resources; British India The British Possessions in India cannot, in the 'ordinary sense of the word, be termed colonies; they have been acquired by pur chase, cession, or conquest, at various periods, within the last hundred years, as will be shown in subsequent pages. Up to the year 1784, their affairs were administered by a joint -stock trading body, termed the East India Company, which was originally incorporated ia. 1601, and endowed with exclusive trading privileges in relation to India and China. Since 1784, the political functions of the Company have been con trolled by the direct authority of the Crown, acting through a ministerial board of com missioners for the affairs of India; by this double government the govemor-general, the subordinate governors, the command ers-in-chief of the army and other function aries have been appointed, in the name of the sovereign. In 1813, the mercantile mo nopoly possessed by the Company in the continental portion of the East Indies was abrogated by parliamentary enactment, * and the commerce thrown open to all British subjects but the exclusive trade with China was still left in the hands of the association, and individuals not engaged in the service of the Crown or of the Company were obliged to obtain from the latter a licence or permission to reside in India.

Download or read book The East India Company at Home 1757 1857 written by Margot Finn and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The East India Company at Home, 1757–1857 explores how empire in Asia shaped British country houses, their interiors and the lives of their residents. It includes chapters from researchers based in a wide range of settings such as archives and libraries, museums, heritage organisations, the community of family historians and universities. It moves beyond conventional academic narratives and makes an important contribution to ongoing debates around how empire impacted Britain. The volume focuses on the propertied families of the East India Company at the height of Company rule. From the Battle of Plassey in 1757 to the outbreak of the Indian Uprising in 1857, objects, people and wealth flowed to Britain from Asia. As men in Company service increasingly shifted their activities from trade to military expansion and political administration, a new population of civil servants, army officers, surveyors and surgeons journeyed to India to make their fortunes. These Company men and their families acquired wealth, tastes and identities in India, which travelled home with them to Britain. Their stories, the biographies of their Indian possessions and the narratives of the stately homes in Britain that came to house them, frame our explorations of imperial culture and its British legacies.

Book excerpt: Inglorious Empire' tells the real story of the British in India from the arrival of the East India Company to the end of the Raj, revealing how Britain's rise was built upon its plunder of India. In the eighteenth century, India's share of the world economy was as large as Europe's. By 1947, after two centuries of British rule, it had decreased six-fold. Beyond conquest and deception, the Empire blew rebels from cannon, massacred unarmed protesters, entrenched institutionalised racism, and caused millions to die from starvation. British imperialism justified itself as enlightened despotism for the benefit of the governed, but Shashi Tharoor takes on and demolishes this position, demonstrating how every supposed imperial "gift" - from the railways to the rule of law -was designed in Britain's interests alone. He goes on to show how Britain's Industrial Revolution was founded on India's deindustrialisation, and the destruction of its textile industry.
