This study of the British colonial administrator James Tod
(1782-1835), who spent five years in north-western India (1818-22)
collecting every conceivable type of material of historical or
cultural interest on the Rajputs and the Gujaratis, gives special
attention to his role as a mediator of knowledge about this
little-known region of the British Empire in the early nineteenth
century to British and European audiences. The book aims to
illustrate that British officers did not spend all their time
oppressing and inferiorising the indigenous peoples under their
colonial authority, but also contributed to propagating cultural
and scientific information about them, and that they did not react
only negatively to the various types of human difference they
encountered in the field. -- .
