<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>'Britain in India, 1858-1947' examines the last ninety years of British India, from the establishment of Crown rule after the Mutiny to withdrawal and partition in 1947.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>'Britain in India, 1858-1947' seeks to trace the last 90 years of British rule in the light of modern historical debates. The volume examines the ambiguities of British rule that followed from the post-Mutiny settlement: the tensions between an authoritarian bureaucracy and the promise of a liberal vision of the future, and between imperial interests and the growing coordination of Indian aspirations for self-rule. The volume analyses these tensions with reference to contemporary historical debates, and traces them through changing international relations and world wars to Indian independence and partition in 1947.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Lionel Knight is the retired head of history and politics at the City of London School in England.
