Book Description
About the Book
"Defects, Civil and Military, of the Indian Government" critically examines the shortcomings of British colonial administration in India. Written in the mid-19th century, Napier's work highlights inefficiencies and systemic issues in both civil governance and military operations. His detailed critique underscores problems such as administrative corruption, inadequate military strategies, and the overall impact of colonial policies on India's development. Napier's observations aim to provoke reform and improve the effectiveness of British rule in the subcontinent.
