Peace, Poverty and Betrayal
How can we explain the establishment and longevity of British rule in India without recourse to the clich�s of imperial versus nationalist interpretations? Matthews' narrative also takes in the East India Company, which was manifestly incompetent as a ruler by 1770, yet after 1820 arguably became the world's first liberal government. In this new history, Roderick Matthews offers a more nuanced view: one of oblige and rule, the foundation of common purpose between colonizers and powerful Indians.Peace, Poverty and Betrayal argues that this was not a uniformly systematic approach, but rather a state of being: the British were never clear or consistent in their policies, and among British and Indians alike there were both progressive and conservative attitudes to the struggle over colonization.
