An Imperial Crisis in British India

Description

In 1891, a major anti-British revolt erupted in the northeast Indian princely state of Manipur after a dangerously miscalculated attempt by the Government of India to assert its authority in the wake of a palace coup.

Following the murder of a number of senior officers, a substantial British force descended upon the state to restore order and bring the prime culprits to a questionable justice, generating widespread condemnation in England.

The Manipur Uprising and its aftermath demonstrated the fragility of indirect rule in India and highlighted British underestimation of native loyalty to princely rule.

With fresh archival research and contemporary reports, Caroline Keen provides a compelling account of erratic imperial policy-making at the highest level in An Imperial Crisis in British India.
