An Era of Darkness (Hardcover)

(0 review)
In 1930 the American historian and philosopher Will Durant wrote that Britain s conscious and deliberate bleeding of India.. [was the] greatest crime in all history. He was not the only one to denounce the rapacity and cruelty of British rule and his assessment was not exaggerated. Almost thirty-five million Indians died because of acts of commission and omission by the British in famines epidemics communal riots and wholesale slaughter like the reprisal killings after the 1857 War of Independence and the Amritsar massacre of 1919. Besides the deaths of Indians British rule impoverished India in a manner that beggars belief. When the East India Company took control of the country in the chaos that ensued after the collapse of the Mughal empire India s share of world GDP was 23 per cent. When the British left it was just above 3 per cent. The British empire in India began with the East India Company incorporated in 1600 by royal charter of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I to trade in silk spices and other profitable Indian commodities. Within a century and a half the Company had become a power to reckon with in India. In 1757 under the command of Robert Clive Company forces defeated the ruling Nawab Siraj-ud-Daula of Bengal at Plassey through a combination of superior artillery and even more superior chicanery.
