Description
British Opium Policy and its Results to India and China is a detailed historical analysis that traces the development and implementation of British opium policies throughout the colonial period. The work examines how Britain’s strategic decision to cultivate and export opium from India to China created significant economic benefits for the British Empire while devastating millions of lives across Asia.
Turner’s scholarly examination provides insights into the mechanisms of colonial exploitation, the resistance movements in China, and the long-term consequences for Indian agriculture and society. The book explores the relationship between commercial interests and imperial power, revealing how drug trade policies were justified and implemented despite their catastrophic humanitarian impact.
This hardcover edition from Gyan Publishing House serves as an important historical document for understanding colonial history, the origins of modern international drug policy, and the complex legacies of imperialism in Asia.
