A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book is a kind of companion volume to my other book, Young I ndia. In Young I ndia, I have discussed British rule in I ndia, from the political standpoint. In this volume, I have discussed its economic effects. There is not a single statement in this volume which is not supported by the best available British testimony, official and non-official. My own opinions and personal knowledge have been mentioned only incidentally if at all. Similarly the opinions of other Indian publicists have been kept in the background. It is a sad commentary on the prevailing moral code of the world that those who succeed in imposing their rule upon less powerful nations should also brand the latter as unworthy of credit. Thus every Britisher believes that an Indian critic of British rule is necessarily affected by the inevitable racial and political bias of his position, while he in his turn is entirely free from it! In the ordinary course of nature, the man whom the shoe pinches is the best person to know about it but in politics the laws of nature are reversed. In judging of governments and rulers, it is they whose word is to be accepted and not that of the governed and the ruled. Consequently to avoid that charge I have chosen to speak from the mouths of theE nglish themselves.
