Description

Victoria and India: A Humanely Engaging Story of Imperial Rule. In this thought-provoking book, Miles Taylor presents an original account of Queen Victoria's relationship with India, challenging the conventional narrative of imperial rule in the country. The author reveals how both Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert, were deeply fascinated by India, and argues that the Queen played a significant role in shaping the country's modernization. Taylor's engaging narrative sheds new light on the often-overlooked period of Victoria's reign when she was actively involved with India, rather than just in its later decades. The book offers a fresh perspective on imperial rule in India, suggesting that it was one of Victoria's successes.
