This is an analysis of the nature and impact of the Indian presence
in Britain, and British reactions to it. From the late 19th to the
early 20th century, the number of Indians arriving in Britain, to
gain qualifications and learn about British society, began to grow.
The greater visibility of Indians at the Inns of Court and
universities fuelled British fears, arising out of popular culture
and the political situation in India, about the damaging effects of
students' residence in Britain. The British authorities took
measures to restrict the size of the Indian student population and
control political activities, placing themselves in direct conflict
with the students. Indians resented this encroachment of the state
into their lives, which were already beset by problems of racial
discrimination, isolation, and, in some cases, deprivation. Many
students turned to politics, and this study shows how indigenous
elites from dependent colonies, in this case India, were able to
appropriate ideas and institutions, to challenge, subvert - and
sometimes prove their affinity with - British metropolitan society.
