DESCRIPTION |
|
| As it is clear from the title British Reforms, Conquests and Expansion itself that after penetrating in Indian sub-continent in guise of traders main aim of the company had been to build up and consolidate British dominion in India, partly by absorbing dependent rulership, the administration of which had long been an eyesore of those imbued with western ideas, partly by securing a general control over all native states from Cape comorin to Sutlej, maintaining in their territories subsidiary forces, and regulating their foreign policy. Emphasis of volume is particularly on policy of expansion, social and constitutional reforms by Lord Minto and Lord William Bentinck, Anglo Sigh Wars, Afghan wars and finally the mutiny in 1857 and its assessment.
