Excerpt: ...is as effectual a test of good government as can be found, --whether the great mass of the people are protected in life and property, and can obtain certain, speedy, and cheap justice. And unless men of the highest position and character in that country have grossly and wilfully belied themselves, it may be safely atlirmed that there is no part of the world that will less satisfactorily respond to this test than British India. And let us first take the testimony of the Protestant Missionaries of Bengal. Mr. Kinnaird, in calling attention to the Petition which he presented to the House of Commons from that body, thus describes them: --" Of no one party, but connected with various Christian denominations, conversant with the every day lives of the people, unconnected with the Government and civil service, gentlemen of British birth and liberal education, with English ideas of justice: what one body in India is so calculated as they, to take a ust view of the social condition of the people?" We have a copy of that Petition now before us. And what does it say? " Your Petitioners greatly fear that it will be found, on inquiry, that in many districts By" Bengal neither lifi: nor property is secure; that gangrobberies of the most daring character are perpetrated annually in great numbers, with impunity, and that there are constant scenes of violence and contention respecting disputed boundaries between the owners of landed estates." Another Petition, presented to Parliament in 1853, signed by 1800 Christian inhabitants of Bengal, thus speaks: --" The police of the lower provinces totally fails as respects the prevention of crimes, apprehen sion of-ofiienders, and protection of life and property; but it is become...

Download or read book Inglorious Empire written by Shashi Tharoor and published by Penguin Group. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book The British in India written by David Gilmour and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An immersive portrait of the lives of the British in India, from the seventeenth century to Independence Who of the British went to India, and why? We know about Kipling and Forster, Orwell and Scott, but what of the youthful forestry official, the enterprising boxwallah, the fervid missionary? What motivated them to travel halfway around the globe, what lives did they lead when they got there, and what did they think about it all? Full of spirited, illuminating anecdotes drawn from long-forgotten memoirs, correspondence, and government documents, The British in India weaves a rich tapestry of the everyday experiences of the Britons who found themselves in “the jewel in the crown” of the British Empire. David Gilmour captures the substance and texture of their work, home, and social lives, and illustrates how these transformed across the several centuries of British presence and rule in the subcontinent, from the East India Company’s first trading station in 1615 to the twilight of the Raj and Partition and Independence in 1947. He takes us through remote hill stations, bustling coastal ports, opulent palaces, regimented cantonments, and dense jungles, revealing the country as seen through British eyes, and wittily reveling in all the particular concerns and contradictions that were a consequence of that limited perspective. The British in India is a breathtaking accomplishment, a vivid and balanced history written with brio, elegance, and erudition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Rule in India: With a Plea for Home Rule or Self-Government The Hon. Mr. M. A. Jinnah, president of the all-k India Moslem League, held at Lucknow during Christ mas, 1915, said on self-government for India: Leav I ing aside hairbrained twaddle of the tribe of scientific i peddlers who love to sit in judgment on the East and ape political philosophy, no man with the least pre tensions to common sense can affect to maintain that the Indian humanity is 'stamped with a ruthless psychol ogy and cramped for ever within the prison of its skull. If the Indians are not the pariahs of Nature, if they are not out of the. Pale or operations of the laws that gov em mankind elsewhere, if their minds can grow in' knowledge and power and think and plan and organize together for common needs of the present and for com mon hopes of the future, then the only future for them is self-government, i. E., the attainment of the power to apply, through properly organized channels, the common national will and intelligence to the needs and tasks of their national existence. The cant of unfit ness must die. The laws of Nature and the doctrines of common humanity are not'different in the East.
