About The Book: India Under British Rule: From the Foundation of the East India Company provides a detailed account of British colonial expansion in India, beginning with the establishment of the East India Company in the early 17th century. The book traces how the Company transformed from a trading enterprise into a powerful political force, eventually leading to direct British Crown rule after the 1857 Revolt. It explores administrative changes, economic exploitation, and social impacts on Indian society. The work critically examines how colonial policies reshaped India's political, cultural, and economic landscape, offering valuable insights into the legacy and consequences of British imperialism in India About The Author: James Talboys Wheeler (1824–1897) was a British historian and civil servant of the British Raj, often called a “bureaucrat-historian.” Initially a bookseller and editor, he moved to India in 1858, becoming editor of the Madras Spectator and later a professor at Madras Presidency College. Fascinated by Indian culture, he authored Madras in the Olden Time and the multi-volume History of India, notable for using official records. Though his work was imperialist in tone, it remains valued for its detailed documentation. Despite significant contributions, Wheeler faced limited official recognition and financial support.
