Colonial anxieties about the 'Bengali terrorist' led to the growth of an extensive intelligence apparatus within Bengal. This intelligence expertise was in turn applied globally both to the policing of Bengali revolutionaries outside India and to other anticolonial movements which threatened the empire. The analytic framework of this study thus encompasses local events in one province of British India and the global experiences of both revolutionaries and intelligence agents. The focus is not only on the British intelligence officers who orchestrated the campaign against the revolutionaries, but also on their interactions with the Indian officers and informants who played a vital role in colonial intelligence work, as well as the perspectives of revolutionaries and their allies, ranging from elite anticolonial activists to subaltern maritime workers. . 410 0$aBritain and the World,$x2947-7190 606 $aImperialism 606 $aAsia$xHistory 606 $aWorld history 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aCriminology 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 606 $aHistory of South Asia 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History 606 $aInternational Security Studies 606 $aCrime Control and Security 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aAsia$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aCriminology. 615 14$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aHistory of South Asia. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 615 24$aInternational Security Studies. 615 24$aCrime Control and Security. 676 $a345.5402 676 $a320.540954 700 $aSilvestri$b Michael$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01216694 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483841403321 996 $aPolicing ?Bengali Terrorism? in India and the World$92813067 997 $aUNINA
