Synopsis

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the life and career of Lord Ripon, Governor-General of India from 1880-1884. Appointed during a time of political unrest, Ripon reversed many of his predecessor's policies, including the return of self-rule to local leaders and support for vernacular press, winning him popularity in India but criticism from some in Britain. The author provides a detailed account of Ripon's handling of the Afghan crisis, his economic policies, and his support for political reforms. The book argues that Ripon's commitment to progressive policies and his efforts to bridge cultural divides are his lasting legacy, shaping India's path to independence. It is a rich examination of a fascinating historical figure.
