The British in India, first as adventurers, then as traders and finally as rulers through the India Office in London and the Viceroy' s Government in India, oversaw all aspects of Indian life - district administrations, law, police, army, trade, education and culture and relations with princely states and foreign powers. And yet a sense of alienation among the British always remained. The end came quickly with Indian independence in 1947, and the British left a bitterly divided sub-continent. This is not a blow-by-blow historical account but a narrative social and cultural history which explores the British-Indian relationship at all levels.
Roderick Cavaliero is a writer and historian and has lived in India for 7 years. He is the author of The Last of the Crusaders, The Independence of Brazil and Admiral Satan (both I. B. Tauris).
