Of The Govt and People of Indostan

Of the Government and People of Indostan is an analytical essay by Robert Orme that examines the political structures, customs, and social organization of India during the 18th century. Drawing on his experiences with the East India Company, Orme provides insights into the administration, religious practices, and daily lives of Indian society. The work reflects a colonial viewpoint, aiming to inform British readers about Indian governance and culture, often through a Eurocentric lens typical of the period’s scholarship.
