For two hundred years India was the jewel in the British imperial
crown. During the course of governing India - the Raj - a number of
words came to have particular meanings in the imperial lexicon.
This book documents the words and terms that the British used to
describe, define, understand and judge the subcontinent. It offers
insight into the cultures of the Raj through a sampling of its
various terms, concepts and nomenclature, and utilizes critical
commentaries on specific domains to illuminate not only the
linguistic meaning of a word but its cultural and political
nuances. This fascinating book also provides literary and cultural
texts from the colonial canon where these Anglo-Indian
colloquialisms, terms and official jargon occurred. It enables us
to glean a sense of the Empire's linguistic and cultural tensions,
negotiations and adaptations. The work will interest students and
researchers of history, language and literature, colonialism,
cultural studies, imperialism and the British Raj, and South Asian
studies.
