Indian Polity A View of the System of Administration in India

Language: - English, About The Book: The purpose of this book is two: firstly, to provide an overview of the system governing British India and secondly, to highlight areas within that system that could benefit from improvement. With British India's governance falling under the Crown's direct control for the past ten years, the time is ripe for a thorough review and potential modifications to enhance its administration proactively, rather than leaving reform to chance. The author contends that the apparent defects in the system are mainly accidental and can be rectified through administrative vigor. The book seeks to present these issues in a manner accessible to readers with varying levels of familiarity with Indian affairs, aiming to contribute to the ongoing discussions regarding reforms, particularly concerning the involvement of natives in the administration of India.
