Excerpt from Our Indian Protectorate: An Introduction to the Study of the Relations Between the British Government and Its Indian Feudatories
History is no sufficient justification of a policy which is not justifiable on moral grounds. There is the strongest moral justification of the existing system in the character of the governments of our predecessors in India and the per sistence, at the present day, of some tendencies making for misrule. This is explained and illustrated in four chapters on native rule.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, centered on the Indian protectorate, analyzes the historical growth of the protectorate from its inception to the present day. It explores the challenges and complexities of governing a vast and diverse group of native states under British imperial rule. The author argues that Indian political law, a unique system of rules and principles, was developed to address the specific conditions of the protectorate. This law, which is distinct from international law, provides a framework for the relationship between the British government and the native states and ensures the preservation of autonomy while upholding British supremacy. The book sheds light on the intricate balance between these two forces and offers valuable insights into the political and legal complexities of governing a multiethnic empire.
