Abstract

The importance of the police in British India has seldom been fully recognised, but, as this book shows, they were vital to the maintenance of colonial rule. Focusing on the period between the rebellion of 1857-8 and Independence ninety years later, it is a powerful reminder of the impact of colonialism and its enduring political and institutional legacies.
