Focusing on the intellectual climate of British imperialism in nineteenth-century India, the author utilizes techniques from intellectual history and social psychology. The narrative emphasizes that the belief in permanence started before the Great Mutiny of 1857, which solidified a rigid imperialistic mindset. Drawing from a diverse range of sources—including literature, personal writings, and parliamentary records—Professor Hutchins offers a comprehensive view of the social and cultural dynamics that shaped the British experience in India.
