This book, first published in 1973, gives a vivid picture of
British-Indian social life from the eighteenth century to
Independence, as well as of the houses themselves. The Government
Houses were not only buildings on a palatial scale, but were also a
background to a way of life that was as full of contrasts as the
Raj itself. The author peoples the houses with some of the men and
women who lived in them during the course of their history, and in
doing so provides a chapter of social history which has not been
written before.
