About The Book: The Secret of the Raj by Basil Mathews explores the British rule in India, focusing on the moral and spiritual dimensions of the empire. Mathews examines the complexities of colonial governance, emphasizing that the true strength—or "secret"—of the Raj lies not in military power or political control, but in moral responsibility and ethical leadership. He advocates for mutual respect between the British and Indians, stressing the importance of education, justice, and especially Christianity in fostering meaningful relationships. The book reflects Mathews’s belief that only through sincere moral engagement could the British Raj fulfill its duties and avoid eventual decline.
