Description: The Sun Must Set by Andrew Hyde Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Indias experience of British colonialism. The true financial, social and ecological cost of British rule and the contrasting experiences of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh following independence. Publisher Description Demolishing the myth that British rule was on the whole advantageous to India, Andrew Hyde shows how Britains pursuit of profit brought about the deindustrialisation and impoverishment of the country over centuries and how its celebrated feats of engineering incurred tremendous financial, social and ecological cost.Indias industries were suppressed and manufacturers subjected to unfair competition and tariffs. Wealth was drained first by the East India Company, and then the Crown. Indians were impeded from participation in administration, allowing Britain to pursue its policies almost without restraint. Ultimately, this dependency meant the masses became poorer and more susceptible to famines.After the end of British rule, problems remained, with India and Pakistan emerging as heavily armed states and engaging in frequent wars that continue to absorb much of their national income. Todays concerns include attitudes to religious minorities, self-determination, and freedom of speech, along with the continuing crisis in Kashmir. Author Biography Andrew Hyde is the author of Europe: Unite, Fight, Repeat and Jihad: The Ottomans and the Allies 1914-1922.
