Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorandum on Some of the Results of Indian Administration: During the Past Fifty Years of British Rule in India My Lord Marquis, Your Excellency is aware that, in accordance with a provision contained in the Act for the better Government of India, a Report on the Moral and Material Progress of that country is annually prepared in this Office and presented to Parliament. 2. It occurred to me last autumn that, as thirty years had passed since the transfer of the Government of India from the East India Company to the Crown, it might be useful to review the history of Indian administration during that period, and thus to sum up and supplement the annual reports which have been published up to the present time. 3. I accordingly gave instructions that a memorandum on the subject should be drawn up. This has now been done, and as the work appears to me to be one of much interest, I enclose a copy, believing that your Excellency in Council will be glad to possess it. I have, &c. To his Excellency Cross. The Most Hon. the Governor-General of India in Council. Enclosure. Memorandum on some of the Results of Indian Administration during the past Thirty Years of British Rule in India. For some time past there has been presented to Parliament a yearly statement of the progress and condition of India, province by province. Thirty years have elapsed since India came under the direct control of the Crown, and it is proposed to review some of the results of Indian administration during that period In the year 1858, the Honourable Court of Directors of the East India Company published a "Memorandum of the "Improvements in the Administration of India" during the thirty years ending with 1857; the present review will be in some degree a continuation of that memorandum. 2. Preliminary. - At the outset it may be well to refer to the fact - long recognised by the Home and the Indian Governments - that India is not a single country with a homogeneous population. India is in truth a congeries of countries, with widely differing physical characteristics. It contains a number of peoples, speaking many languages, holding many creeds, observing different customs, and enjoying divergent degrees of civilization. It is difficult, therefore, to speak correctly of India as a whole; and statements that may be quite applicable to some provinces do not apply to other provinces or sections of the country. At the beginning of 1858 the Indian Government had to face the administrative, financial, and military troubles that resulted from the mutiny of the Bengal Army. In 1878-80 occurred the Afghan war; in 1885-86 came the third Burmese war; and occasional expeditions had to be undertaken against tribes that harassed the north-west or the north-east frontier of India.
