The Politics of the British Annexation of India, 1757-1857 (Oxford in India Readings : Themes in Indian History)

In one century, the English East India Company annexed over 60 percent of the Indian sub-continent, containing over 75 percent of its people. The essays in this comprehensive study, written by both British and Indian scholars, lay out a range of perspectives on both the process and consequences of this expansive imperialism. The contributors analyze the situations and actions of the Indian people as well as the British people, showing how the Indian states and the classes and individuals within Indian society had decisive parts in shaping British expansion.Fisher, Michael is the author of 'The Politics of the British Annexation of India, 1757-1857 (Oxford in India Readings : Themes in Indian History)', published 1994 under ISBN 9780195628609 and ISBN 0195628608.
