Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinizes policies of the British East India Company in India under Lord Wellesley's administration in the early 19th century. The author takes issue with a previous review of Wellesley's policies, which the author views as overly critical and misinformed. The author argues that Wellesley's policies, rather than being unjustly harsh or acquisitive, were necessary to quell unrest fomented by the French, and to counteract the antagonistic behavior of Tippoo Sultan and other belligerent Indian powers. The author uses primary source material to substantiate the claim that Wellesley's policies, such as the introduction of subsidiary alliances and the commutation of subsidies for territories, were effective in maintaining regional stability and protecting British interests. This book is an important resource for those interested in British colonial policy, early 19th-century India, and Lord Wellesley's administration and will appeal to historians, policymakers, and general readers alike.
