Index -- Notes -- Illustration Credits -- IndexThe Scandal of Empire reveals that the conquests and exploitations of the East India Company were critical to England's development in the eighteenth century and beyond. In this powerfully written critique, Nicholas Dirks shows how the empire projected its own scandalous behavior onto India itself. By returning to the moment when the scandal of empire became acceptable, we gain a new understanding of the modern culture of the colonizer and the colonized and the manifold implications for Britain, India, and the world.Political corruptionIndiaHistory18th centuryIndiaColonizationHistory18th centuryElectronic books.Political corruptionHistory954.02/98092MH 14000rvkDirks Nicholas B.1950-766245MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458933103321The scandal of empire2476760UNINA
