| Description: | Select Guide Rating * A classic history of Britons' experiences of India in the last days of the Raj. The Raj was, for two hundred years, the jewel in the British imperial crown. Although founded on military expansionism and undoubted exploitation, it developed over the centuries into what has been called ''benign autocracy'' - the government of many by few, with the active collaboration of most Indians in recognition of a desire for the advancement of their country. |
