Rise And Fulfillment Of British Rule In India

“The Rise and Fulfilment of British Rule in India” by Edward John Thompson offers a critical yet balanced account of British colonial rule in India. Thompson traces the growth of British power from the early trading days of the East India Company to the height of the Raj, analyzing both achievements and failures. He explores governance, social change, education, and the growing Indian nationalist movement. The book reflects Thompson’s liberal outlook and seeks to understand India’s transformation under imperialism, while advocating future self-rule.
