The Story of Nuncomar and the Impeachment of Sir Elijah Impey, Vol. 1 of 2

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the era when the British Empire was strengthening its hold on India, focusing on the relationship between the British and Indian governments in the Bengal region. It examines the difficulties encountered by both parties, particularly the legal challenges faced by British officials who sought to impose their laws on a society with entirely different legal traditions. The book centers on the trial and execution of Nuncomar, an Indian accused of forgery who was found guilty and executed under British law, an act that raised questions about judicial murder and the limits of British authority in India. The author challenges the prevailing interpretation of the trial as a straight-forward case of justice, presenting new evidence that suggests a more complex and politically motivated set of circumstances.
