Scandal of Empire - India and the Creation of Imperial Britain

Reveals that the conquests and exploitations of the East India Company were critical to England's development in the 18th Century and beyond. This book shows how the empire projected its own scandalous behaviour onto India itself. It provides an understanding of the modern culture of the coloniser and the colonised and its manifold implications.
