The British Raj examines direct Crown rule in India from the rebellion of 1857 to independence in 1947. It explains the administrative structures, army, railways, taxation and legal systems through which a relatively small colonial establishment governed a vast and diverse population.
The book also follows famine, economic change, racial hierarchy and the growth of organised nationalism. It traces constitutional reform, mass protest, wartime mobilisation and communal tension, showing how imperial rule generated both new institutions and the movements that ultimately ended it.
