Between 1700 and 1885 the British became the paramount power on the
Indian subcontinent, their authority extending from Sri Lankain the
south to the Himalayasin the north. It was a massive empire,
inspiring both pride and anxiety amongst the British, and forcing
change upon and disrupting the lives of its Indian subjects. Yet it
is not simply a history of conquest and subjugation, or dominance
and defeat: interaction and interdependency powerfully shaped the
histories of all involved. The end result was a hybrid empire.
India may have become by 1885 the jewel in the British crown, but
by that same year a series of changes had occurred within Indian
society that would set the foundations for the modern states of
India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. This book provides a concise
introduction to these dramatic changes.
