This research monograph seeks to make a comprehesive and in depth study of all important aspects of the administration of Punjab covering the period from 1897 to 1919. This period is highly significant in the administrative history of the province. In 1897 Legislative Council was estalished in Punjab followed by changes and reforms of great consequence in the general structure of administration of justice, police and jails, agrarian system, public work and eduction. What is equally important is that people's response to and reaction against the various administrative measures taken by the British authorities was strongly expressed through press and platform and this gave a stimulus to the growth of militant nationalism against the colonial rule in the province. This study makes a comprehensive and critical analysis of all these development . No effort has been spared to present ths subject matter in as objective and dispassionate manner as possible. Based largely on the primary sources availble in the National Archives of India, and the Punjab State Archives this book is likely to prove immensely beneficial to the students and scholars who are interested in the study of colonial administration of the Punjab.

This book is a history of British India from 1599 to 1947. It is divided into three parts addressing political history, topical studies, and a collection of four hundred biographies of noteworthy English men and women who played a role in the creation of British India. As the Elizabethan era approached its end, English life exuded a high sense of energy and optimism that drove men to the ends of the earth. The lure of wealth in the spices of the East Indies correlated well with English naval strengths. In London, the East India Company set the national vision of competition with the Portuguese, Dutch and French while in India it developed the ports of Madras, Bombay, and Calcutta. Britain dominated India's political landscape for over 300 years, yet in the twentieth century, the emergence of Gandhi and his use of civil disobedience shook the British government to its foundations. By March 1947, Lord Mountbatten had little more choice than to grant Indian independence or see it taken by Indians themselves.

A powerful reassessment of a seminal moment in the history of India and the British Empire--the Amritsar Massacre--to mark its 100th anniversary The Amritsar Massacre of 1919 was a seminal moment in the history of the British Empire, yet it remains poorly understood. In this dramatic account, Kim A. Wagner details the perspectives of ordinary people and argues that General Dyer's order to open fire at Jallianwalla Bagh was an act of fear. Situating the massacre within the "deep" context of British colonial mentality and the local dynamics of Indian nationalism, Wagner provides a genuinely nuanced approach to the bloody history of the British Empire.
