About The Book: In this series of lectures, the focus is on the Evolution of British Policy towards Indian States from 1774 to 1858. The objective is not to provide a comprehensive history of the period but to trace the gradual development of a specific policy regarding Indian States. The chosen aspect holds the key to interpreting the overall policy of the East India Company, as the relations with Indian States constituted the company's foreign policy, shaping the establishment of the British Empire in India. Despite the undeniable importance of this aspect, it has been overlooked by historians. The lectures aim to outline this neglected facet, acknowledging its complexity and the diverse influences on British policy.
