Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reflections on the Present State of British India The object of the following pages is not to enter upon the difficult, and almost unbounded, field of discussion, relatively to the affairs of India, but rather to attract public attention to the perilous situation of our empire in that quarter, with a view to the adoption of such measures as may appear calculated to consolidate its strength, and to prepare it for the eventful crisis which, at no distant period, it must have to encounter. Several of the topics here touched upon, are so ably discussed in the work on "Colonial Policy as applicable to the Government of India," that the Author feels himself called upon to account for his having introduced them at all.

Download or read book Recollections and Reflections Classic Reprint written by Coles Pasha and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections and Reflections It does not fall to the lot of many men to put in a record of upwards of forty years' service in the East. Still fewer can boast of the many advantages that I enjoyed of serving the greater part of my official life under chiefs like the late Lord Cromer, Lord Kitchener, Sir Eldon Gorst, and other Empire-builders. This must be my excuse for venturing to publish my Recollections and Reflections, a privilege usually reserved for men of some eminence. As stated elsewhere in these pages, I have all my life been a great believer in writing annual reports - annual stocktakings, as I have termed them - both on account of the assistance which they afford to the official who may be recording the result of his labours, as welt as for the information which they convey to his successors in office. These memoirs may be regarded as the stocktaking of my life's work, and although - unlike the official recorder - I personally cannot expect to reap any benefit therefrom, still I feel convinced that in the near future many of the problems which I have helped to solve will again have to be dealt with. For the close of the Great War will most assuredly see British officials administering the less civilised States with, and possibly without, the " self-determination " of their respective inhabitants. To these British Administrators, as also to fellow-workers in India and Egypt, I trust that my " Reflections " may prove both useful and instructive. I hope, too, that the general reader may discover something of interest in my " Recollections," even if he has to wade through much ancient history to find it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British India in Its Relation to the Decline of Hindooism, and the Progress of Christianity Ar'rzs a residence of nearly twelve years in India, exclusively devoted to the work of a Missionary, the Author was under the necessity of returning to his native land, and of leaving that sphere of la hour in which he greatly delighted. In visiting the churches of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, the vast importance, and the urgent necessities of our Eastern Empire, have constituted the great theme of his sermons and addresses; the deliverance of Hindoos from priestcraft and superstition, is still the burden of his thoughts, his prayers, and his toils; and whether, in the good providence of God, he is directed to return to his field of labour, or is obliged to occupy a different Sphere at home, the claims, the welfare and the conversion of India are bound up with his mortal existence, and must ever have a warm place in his heart.

Download or read book India Under Curzon and After Classic Reprint written by Lovat Fraser and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-12-02 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from India Under Curzon and After This book was first planned in 1905, while Lord Curzon was still Viceroy of India. My original purpose, now much expanded, was to write an account of some of the more per manent and enduring features of his Administration, which seemed likely to become obscured in the public mind through Special causes. I was unable until last year to begin the task I had set myself, and even then was almost immediately stopped by more imperative duties. This summer it became evident that I must choose between rapid completion and indefinite postponement. The choice was not difficult, for the materials were collected, I knew my subject, and my views were already formed, although in some respects they have undergone revision. I decided to undertake the work at once, though time was pressing; I was about to journey forth again; and even as these words are being printed I shall be pursuing once more the familiar pathway to the East. It is necessary to say that Lord Curzon is in no sense responsible for this book. He did not suggest it, nor has he seen a line of it. It is in no respect a reflection of his Opinions, and he has neither authorised nor inspired a single statement that it contains. Probably there are portions of it with which he will disagree. I have had no access to any private documents or correspondence. For any inaccuracies I am alone to blame.

This book was released on 2017-12-08 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoughts on the Policy of the Crown Towards India IN the beginning of last year, at the request of a friend, I wrote some letters on the Indian Govern ment question in a provincial paper. Some interest was excited by them beyond the natural sphere of the Journal, and I was induced to give greater scope to them, and to treat in particular at some length of the effects of that policy of annexation and absorption of which the late governor-general of India has been the main ex ponent. A desire was expressed for'the republication of this portion of the series, and I had already pre pared it, with considerable additions, for the press, when the appearance of the Queen's Proclamation came to render much of my argument against such a policy superfluous, by sanctioning its, leading conclu sions. In taking it as my text, I felt I should be best carrying out the purpose which I had in View. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Warfare in Pre British India 1500BCE to 1740CE written by Kaushik Roy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive survey of warfare in India up to the point where the British began to dominate the sub-continent. It discusses issues such as how far was the relatively bloodless nature of pre-British Indian warfare the product of stateless Indian society? How far did technology determine the dynamics of warfare in India? Did warfare in this period have a particular Indian nature and was it ritualistic? The book considers land warfare including sieges, naval warfare, the impact of horses, elephants and gunpowder, and the differences made by the arrival of Muslim rulers and by the influx of other foreign influences and techniques. The book concludes by arguing that the presence of standing professional armies supported by centralised bureaucratic states have been underemphasised in the history of India.
