Synopsis
Excerpt from The Makers of British India
Office of our governor-generals and Viceroys, the principal events are arranged in subdivisions, with separate headings. The spelling of Indian names adopted is that, in the main, adopted in the Imperial Gazetteer of India, which may be considered to have official sanction. Finally, a list is prefixed of the historical and biographical authorities who have treated with most success the different branches of the vast subject I have attempted to survey in the present volume with a desire.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Spanning two centuries, this book chronicles the rise and growth of the British Empire in India. It begins in 1600, when the Dutch East India Company's extortionate pepper prices prompted the formation of an English association to secure direct access to Indian markets. Originally focused on trade, the East India Company gradually took on political and military responsibilities to protect its interests against rivals like the French. The book analyzes the complex relationship between England and France in India, highlighting their struggle for dominance that culminated in the Carnatic Wars. It also delves into the strategies and personalities that shaped the course of these conflicts, particularly the audacity of Robert Clive, who defied overwhelming odds to defend the city of Arcot. Through meticulous research and gripping storytelling, this book unveils the motivations, triumphs, and tragedies that defined this fascinating chapter in history, shedding light on the often-overlooked yet profound impact it had on India and the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330754412_0
