Note – conclusion quoted from book p. 290.

The Anglo-Indian campaign backfired, however. Their furious attacks on Government and ‘baba' cost them more in prestige than the Bill itself ever could have. The crisis which they provoked exposed concealed weaknesses in what had appeared as a stable, well-run, durable structure. It showed that empire unable to resolve the conflicting claims of Europeans and 'Westernized' Indians. It left the three principal parties—the Government of India, nonofficial Europeans, and educated Indians—suspicious and antagonistic toward each other. This lasting rift, this poisoned atmosphere, led to the founding of the Indian National Congress two years later and the eventual end of empire. In this way the Anglo-Indians helped to bring about what they wanted least.

    The Anglo-Indians, in their self-serving mythology, often claimed that British rule was based on the sword. Actually, it was based on a subtle mixture of force and cooperation, of bluff and tact. It rested on the acquiescence, or at least the indifference, of the vast majority of Indians. They claimed that the raj was smoothly-running, stable, and benevolent, but their 'white mutiny' exposed the kinks in the machinery, the instability of abrasive group conflicts, and the mischief of the imperial relationship. The Indians eventually disposed of it.

Note – “(In the mid-1880s), … when her husband was of India, Lady Dufferin had set up the National Association for the Supply of Female Medical Aid to the Women of India, generally known as the Dufferin Fund. As its name suggested, the Fund, which was still operating, supplied female doctors and midwives to work in women’s hospitals in India. However, the Fund was always about more than just medicine; it played a significant political role at a highly delicate stage in the development of British rule in India. Queen Mary was fully”.

Note

“This study sees Churchill's imperial philosophy not as racist, but rather as culturalist: It placed no arbitrary limits upon the self-government of the various peoples within the empire other than those limits imposed by the economic, cultural, and political development of specific peoples at given times. For Churchill, empires were primarily a means of stabilizing international relations, creating zones of free trade, and expanding the rule of law beyond national borders.” From then abstract

Note

“Cases of "distressed colonial subjects" that came to the attention of imperial civil servants …  raise crucial questions concerning the proper relation of the imperial state to its subjects, and the classification and regulation of both poverty and people when the accepted or expected boundaries of imperial space were traversed….  Examining these encounters ….offers a novel perspective on the consequences of increasing colonial mobility in the late-Victorian, Edwardian period, and the shape and nature of the British "empire-state" itself…. The imperial polity was in reality a vast, porous, and irregular space composed of networks, rather than neatly defined geographic areas, with direct lines between colony and colony or colony and metropole. Many British colonial subjects--in distress or otherwise--learned to utilize the shape and nature of the imperial polity to their own advantage. Their mobility and their creative strategies of self-representation forced the state, including consular representatives, into a consideration of new technologies of identification, and a reconsideration of not only movement itself, but of the empire-state as well”.

Note – This is an insightful and well written and researched book. It illustrates how local issues and forces, and more generally the shifting alliances of support, severely constrained the positions taken by the Congress national leadership and hence reduced, virtually to zero, the possibilities of Congress reaching agreement with the British.  It is most usefully read together with Bridge 1986 and Brown 1976 which show the parallel limitations operative at the British end.

Tyson, Geoffrey, Danger in India, Calcutta 1932

Note – Literate and easy read. Gives clear expression to the views of the unreconstructed imperialist British commercial community. Some of it is vitriolic and quite unbalanced. Other parts, such as those relating to the uselessness of constitutional commercial safeguards, were right on.

“The work concludes that contrary to the railways’ enthusiastic backers’ expectations, trains had generally failed to attain their objectives. The Oude and Rohikund Railway had neither dislodged its road competition nor succeeded in functioning profitably. In the course of their operation, moreover, the railways had caused a number of unexpected social disturbances.” Quoted from abstract.

Quote from the article

This study seeks to clarify Curzon's role in the reform process, partly through previously uncited letters. It is found that in the wartime context of 1917 he was prepared to advance beyond a view of Indian governance that he had held for some forty years. It is argued that he did not seek subsequently to step back, for the grounds of his conversion remained. However, he distrusted the realization of responsibility through dyarchy, for by removing 'nation-building' powers from the Government of India it destroyed his essential ration­ale for the British presence. It also imposed strictly western institu­tions uniformly upon British India, whilst skirting the problem of reconciling them with the governance of princely India. In the event, the Montford transfer of powers did not achieve the intended pinpoin­ting of responsibility, while it did inhibit the interwar development of India necessary to make the Empire worth holding.”

Note

“This study sees Churchill's imperial philosophy not as racist, but rather as culturalist: It placed no arbitrary limits upon the self-government of the various peoples within the empire other than those limits imposed by the economic, cultural, and political development of specific peoples at given times. For Churchill, empires were primarily a means of stabilizing international relations, creating zones of free trade, and expanding the rule of law beyond national borders.” From then abstract

Nb.Patrick French writes “Trawling through literally millions of pieces of paper, a group of historians built up a remarkably detailed documentary collage of the last six years of British rule in India…. The volumes afford probably the most complete evidence published for the decision-making process in government anywhere.  However, French claims that Mansergh and Lumby did not have access to one key category of documentation – the Indian Political Intelligence archives - when preparing this key work. French did use these archives in preparing his book.

It explores the ambiguous response of the Labour Party to a nationalist movement which it regarded as unrepresentative of Indian peasants and workers, and which adopted strategies of non-cooperation which were alien to Labour's own traditions of participation in legislatures and councils, practical social reform, and trade union work.” From abstract.

OWEN, NICHOLAS, “THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY AND INDIAN INDEPENDENCE, 1945–1947”.The Historical Journal (2003), 46: 403-436 Cambridge University Press

Note - The article examines the reasons for the failure of the Conservative party to offer effective opposition to the independence of India in 1947. It is argued that until the last moment the Conservative stance on Indian independence was much more hostile than is usually recognized…. The inability of unreconciled Conservatives to challenge this tactical decision as they had done in the early 1930s resulted from the erosion and disappearance of many of the organizational advantages they had then enjoyed and of the rapid pace of events in India.
