Ian Copland's comprehensive and fascinating study of the role
played by the Indian princes, the maharajas and nawabs of South
Asia, in the devolution of British colonial power is long overdue.
By rehabilitating the princes as subjects of serious historical
study, the author demonstrates that, far from being puppets under
the control of the British, they were in fact significant players
on the Indian political stage in the inter-war period. He goes on
to explain how and why an order so deep-rooted, and outwardly so
strong, collapsed so quickly after independence under the successor
Congress government in New Delhi. The study adds a new dimension to
the political history of late colonial India, and has implications
for the wider history of the twentieth-century British Empire.
