British Administration in India

British Administration in India by G. Anderson offers an in-depth analysis of 19th-century British colonial governance in India. It explores the structure of the colonial bureaucracy, legal systems, economic policies, and the military and police forces that maintained British rule. Anderson examines the administration’s organization, infrastructure development, and the implementation of British legal norms. Written from a colonial viewpoint, the book justifies British policies while downplaying the social and political consequences for the Indian population, presenting a Eurocentric perspective on British rule in India.
