IP officers except some great exceptions like George Orwell who had a brief stint in the police and who had penned masterpieces like 1984 and Animal Farm, proved to be poor cousins of ICS. Though many of them tried skills on writing books on criminals and criminology and few have written their memoirs but very few are worth mentioning. One notable memoir is ST Hollins’ book No Ten Commandments. Hollins joined IP in the year 1902, was allotted United Provinces (present day Uttar Pradesh) as cadre and served various part of the Indian subcontinent which comprised of present day India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. He served as Inspector General of Police of United Provinces. Reminiscences of day to day functioning of a police officer in a society which was very complex and diverse present a very interesting reading to a modern day reader His writings cover a vast and fascinating areas of crime like dacoity murder, honour killings, thuggery including professional poisoning sati, communal riots and revolutionary activities. I will particularly recommend to the Indian readers to portions where Hollins refer certain not fully known facts of the history of Indian revolutionaries like the killing of the great Chandra Shekhar Azad whose martyrdom in Alfred Park of Allahabad was always shrouded in mystery.
