Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Native States of India In this second edition of The Protected Princes of India I have altered the title to one of more neutral tint. No part of the complicated task entrusted to the British Government in India demands more patience and tact than that of securing the co-operation of the Native states in promoting the moral and material welfare of the Indian Empire. The ruling chiefs are sensitive and conservative; they take a deep interest in the controversies to which such phrases as suzerainty, subordinate alliance, independence and dependence have given rise; and they realise that the general adoption of any title may give countenance to views which through the force of public opinion may direct the future conduct of the British authorities towards them. It is through our habitual bearing with others that we build up relations either of confidence or reserve. I have attempted to delineate the outline of British intercourse with states which I regard as semi-sovereign, but there is no object to be gained by pinning my colours to the outside of the volume.
