Synopsis

This book centers on the 1773 Regulator Act passed by the British parliament with the goal of establishing new regulations to better manage affairs of the British East India Company. At the time, the company was facing scrutiny for alleged widespread misconduct and corruption in its governance of India, prompting parliamentary action. The Act sets up a Governor General and Council to oversee the company's activities, as well as a Board of Trade to manage commercial affairs, bringing all under the control of the British government. This book examines the provisions of the Act and the impact it had on the British East India Company's operations in India, shedding light on the complex relationship between imperial powers and the regions they colonized.
