Book Overview

""An Historical Sketch Of The Native States Of India In Subsidiary Alliance With The British Government"" is a comprehensive account of the Native States of India, which were in a subsidiary alliance with the British Government during the colonial period. Written by George Bruce Malleson, a British military officer and historian, the book explores the political and social structures of the Native States, their relations with the British Government, and their role in the larger context of British colonialism in India.The book begins with an overview of the history of the Native States, tracing their origins to the Mughal Empire and the subsequent fragmentation of India into various princely states. It then delves into the British policy of Subsidiary Alliance, which was a system of protection and control that allowed the British to maintain their influence over the Native States without direct rule. The book provides detailed accounts of the various treaties and agreements that were signed between the British and the Native States, and how these alliances were managed over time.The author also explores the social and cultural aspects of the Native States, including their religions, customs, and traditions. He provides insights into the political and economic systems of the Native States, and how they interacted with the larger British colonial economy. The book also includes biographical sketches of some of the most prominent rulers of the Native States, providing a glimpse into their lives and the challenges they faced in navigating the complex political landscape of colonial India.Overall, ""An Historical Sketch Of The Native States Of India In Subsidiary Alliance With The British Government"" is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of colonial India, the Native States, and the complex dynamics of power and politics in the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
