Description
This authoritative work provides an exhaustive examination of the Indian Empire during the colonial period. R. Montgomery Martin’s detailed study encompasses multiple aspects of the subcontinent, including its rich historical background, physical geography, and geological formations.
The text explores the empire’s diverse topography and climatic zones, which vary dramatically across regions. It offers extensive coverage of the empire’s population demographics and characteristics, alongside descriptions of major cities and their significance. The work systematically details the principal provinces and administrative divisions of the Indian Empire.
Notably, the book addresses the complex political structure of the era, specifically examining tributary states and protected states within the Indian Empire. These territories maintained varying degrees of autonomy under British suzerainty. The second edition represents a refined and expanded treatment of these subjects, reflecting contemporary knowledge and administrative developments of its time.
