Between 1914, when the Great War began, and 1924, when the Ottoman
Caliphate ended, British and Indian officials and activists
reformulated political ideas in the context of total war in the
Middle East, Gandhian mass mobilisation, and the 1919 Amritsar
massacre. Using discussions on travel, spatiality, and landscape as
an entry point, The First World War, Anticolonialism and Imperial
Authority in British India, 1914-1924 discusses the complex
politics of late colonial India and the waning of imperial
enthusiasm. This book presents a multifaceted picture of Indian
politics at a time when total war and resurgent anticolonial
activism were reshaping assumptions about state power, culture, and
resistance.
