Exposition of the Practical Operation of the Judicial and Revenue Systems of India: And of the General Character and Condition of Its Native Inhabitants

Language: English. About The Book: Exposition of the Practical Operation of the Judicial and Revenue Systems of India by Raja Rammohun Roy offers a critical appraisal of early 19th-century British administration in India. Roy analyzes procedural inefficiencies, corruption, and arbitrariness within the judicial courts and tax collection mechanisms, illustrating how these undermine justice and economic well-being. He contrasts British legal principles with indigenous customs, advocating for codified, transparent procedures, trained magistrates, and fair revenue assessment tied to land productivity. Interwoven are vivid portraits of Indian society—its caste dynamics, educational deficits, and moral strengths. Roy’s balanced recommendations aim to harmonize Western legal reform with native traditions, promoting equitable governance and social uplift. About The Author: Raja Ram Mohan Roy (1772–1833) was a pioneering Indian reformer, scholar, and founder of the Brahmo Sabha (1828), whose writings and journalism catalyzed the Bengal Renaissance. His early works—Vedanta Grantha (1815) and A Conference between the Advocate for, and an Opponent of Practice of Burning Widows Alive (1818)—championed rational religion and condemned sati. In A Defence of Hindu Theism (1820) and The Universal Religion (1829), he sought interfaith harmony, while The Precepts of Jesus (1820) highlighted Christian ethics. His Bengali Grammar (1826) standardized the language, and History of Indian Philosophy (1829) traced native thought. Through newspapers Mirat-ul-Akhbar and Sambad Kaumudi, he promoted social reform, education, and civil rights.
