History of the British Occupation of India #248719

Ploited. Any attempt on the part of educated Indians to unravel the tangled web of Indian history during British supremacy is construed as creating disaffection to the British Government. We have also to expose many falsehoods that have been wilfully spread as truth by English writers. Foremost among these is the one which represents that India was given over to anarchy until the British assumed its government. India would never have existed but for England If left to herself, India would degenerate into a bear 4 t a garden2 and so on and so forth. Another is that 7 India has been conquered by the sword. These falsehoods have to be thoroughly exposed by a consideration of the means employed and the policy pursued by the British. The historian, like the scientist, has not only to classify but to generalise and explain by means of theories and hypotheses. This requires what.
