About The Book: Edwin Arnold’s two-part work critically examines the policies of Lord Dalhousie, Governor-General of India (1848–1856). The first part discusses Dalhousie’s annexations, including Punjab, Oudh, and Satara, and his doctrine of lapse. The second part highlights his reforms in railways, telegraphs, and education. Arnold portrays Dalhousie as a transformative yet controversial leader, balancing British imperial expansion with administrative modernization. The book provides insight into Dalhousie’s impact on India, setting the stage for later colonial governance and the 1857 Revolt.
