Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, centered on the Indian protectorate, analyzes the historical growth of the protectorate from its inception to the present day. It explores the challenges and complexities of governing a vast and diverse group of native states under British imperial rule. The author argues that Indian political law, a unique system of rules and principles, was developed to address the specific conditions of the protectorate. This law, which is distinct from international law, provides a framework for the relationship between the British government and the native states and ensures the preservation of autonomy while upholding British supremacy. The book sheds light on the intricate balance between these two forces and offers valuable insights into the political and legal complexities of governing a multiethnic empire.
