Description
The British in India: Three Centuries of Ambition and Experience by David Gilmour explores the lives of Britons who lived in India from Elizabeth I to Elizabeth II. This book delves into the diverse experiences of various groups, including viceroys, officials, soldiers, missionaries, planters, merchants, engineers, teachers, and doctors. David Gilmour's meticulous research uncovers the complexities of their relationships with Indians, as well as those who did not conform to traditional expectations, such as tramps, rascals, and individuals who 'went native'. The result is a rich tapestry of British life in India, revealing individuals with understanding and humour. Through its pages, this book offers an exceptional contribution to the long and important period of British and Indian history.
