"An all-embracing assessment of what British rule in India attempted to do and what effects it had on Indian culture and society. It explores, within the historical framework, the nature of British rule itself - its philosophy and practice, its adherence to Western codes of law and ideas of property, and its encouragement (sometimes intentional, sometimes not) of the process of Westernization in the economy, in education, in literature, art, religion, and in politics." (Publisher's description).
