Description
This seminal work by James Peggs offers a comprehensive analysis of slavery systems prevalent in India during the era of East India Company rule. Drawing extensively from parliamentary papers and official government records, Peggs documents the widespread practice of slavery across Indian territories and the conditions endured by enslaved populations.
The book serves as an important historical source for understanding colonial-era labor exploitation and the social structures that perpetuated slavery in South Asia. Peggs meticulously compiles evidence from official sources to present a factual account of the slavery trade and its impact on Indian society. This work remains valuable for historians, researchers, and students seeking to understand the darker aspects of colonial history and the experiences of enslaved peoples in India during this period.
