Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This collection presents a body of speeches delivered by Lord Curzon, Viceroy and Governor-General of India from 1898 -1901. The excerpts capture the complexity and depth of his thoughts on the challenges facing India under the British Raj. Curzon's eloquent orations provide insight into the complex relationship between the British government and the Indian people. His personal experiences offer important context to the historical events of the era, namely the bubonic plague, famine, war, and earthquake that ravaged India during his time. Curzon ponders the role of ethics, sympathy, and a sense of shared humanity in fostering harmony within the empire. A strong advocate for progress and modernization, he promoted infrastructure development, particularly in Bombay, balancing this with compassion for the country's needs during a period of immense distress. The collection provides valuable insights into India's history and the aspirations of the Indian people as they began to articulate a vision of self-governance within the empire.
