An Inquiry Into The Expediency Of Applying The Principles Of Colonial Policy To The Government Of India
An Inquiry Into The Expediency Of Applying The Principles Of Colonial Policy To The Government Of India is a book written by Gavin Young in 1822. The book delves into the colonial policies of the British Empire and their application to the governance of India. Young argues that the principles of colonial policy, which were developed for the governance of colonies in America, Africa, and the West Indies, were not suitable for the governance of India. He suggests that the British should adopt a more nuanced approach to governing India, taking into account the unique cultural, social, and economic conditions of the country. The book provides a detailed analysis of the political and economic situation in India during the early 19th century and offers recommendations for improving the governance of the country. It is considered an important work in the history of colonialism and the British Empire's relationship with India.And Of Effecting An Essential Change In Its Land Tenures, And Consequently In The Character Of Its Inhabitants.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
