Plain Tales From The Raj: Images Of British India
There Is Still Great Curiosity About The Phenomenon Of British Imperialism And The Very Distinctive Ruling Society That It Gave Rise To In India. As Far As The British Are Concerned, This Curiosity Is Well Founded, Since It Is A Still Largely Unrecognised Fact That The Indian Connection Has Direct Or Indirect Links With Just About Every Family In Britain. There Are More Than A Million British Graves In The Indian Sub-continent, Reaching Back Through Three And A Half Centuries. Poke Among The Branches Of Any Family Tree - But Particularly Among The Scots And The Ulster Protestants - And You Will Find That Uncle Jack Did Five Years Hard With The Dorsets In Mhow And Secunderabad, That Great-aunt Elfrida Married A Medical Missionary From Chittagong Or That Grannys Grandad Was A Colonel In The Honourable East India Companys Bengal Army At The Time Of The Mutiny. Now That The Raj Is Firmly Established As Part Of Our Indo-british Heritage It Can Be Savoured As Such.239 Pages, With Numerous Illustrations And Photo
