Produktbeschreibung
Facts and Reflections is a book written by an anonymous author who was a subaltern (junior officer) in the Indian Army in 1849. The book is a collection of essays that cover a wide range of topics, including military tactics, Indian culture, and British colonialism in India.The author provides a unique perspective on life in India during the colonial period, as he is both an outsider (being British) and an insider (being a member of the Indian Army). He discusses the challenges of navigating the complex social and cultural landscape of India, as well as the difficulties of maintaining order and control in a country that was often resistant to British rule.Throughout the book, the author reflects on his experiences and observations, offering insights into the ways in which British colonialism impacted both the colonizers and the colonized. He also discusses the role of the Indian Army in maintaining British control over India, and the challenges faced by soldiers who were often far from home and fighting in unfamiliar terrain.Overall, Facts and Reflections is a fascinating and insightful look at life in colonial India, from the perspective of someone who was intimately involved in the workings of the British Empire. It provides a valuable historical record of a time and place that has had a profound impact on the world we live in today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
