Publisher's Synopsis
"Colonization, Defence, and Railways in Our Indian Empire" examines the intricate relationship between British colonial policies, military strategy, and railway development in 19th-century India. Hyde Clarke provides a detailed analysis of how railways were perceived as vital tools for both economic exploitation and military control, solidifying British dominance over the Indian subcontinent. This historical account offers insights into the strategic considerations behind infrastructure projects and their impact on the colonized population. Delving into the political and economic factors that shaped the British Empire's approach to India, this book remains a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of colonial rule and its lasting legacies.
