About The Book: This book describes how bureaucratic government has replaced autocracy in India and then delves into the general aspects of bureaucracy, followed by its specific implications for certain significant issues. The book draws insights from the speeches and actions of a candid Viceroy and the administration of an Indian province to gain a deeper understanding of bureaucratic tendencies. Ultimately, the book evaluates the current state of affairs and offers suggestions for meeting the aspirations of the native population while maintaining England's dominance.
