The half century between 1783 and 1833 witnessed the creation of
British India. Through his writings, the leading East India Company
servant, Sir John Malcolm helped to shape the historical thought of
British empire-building in India. Comparing Malcolm with
contemporaries such as James Mill, this book uses his works to
examine the intellectual history of British expansion in South
Asia, shedding light upon the history of orientalism, the origins
of indirect rule and the formation of British power in southern and
western India. It presents Malcolm as one of the most prolific and
influential imperial ideologues of the century before the Indian
Uprising of 1857.
