Description
India as it Ought to be: under the new Charter Act is a comprehensive examination of India’s administrative and political structures as reimagined under the provisions of the new Charter Act. William Hough presents a detailed analysis of how reformed governance systems could address the challenges facing India during the colonial period.
The work explores various aspects of Indian administration, including judicial systems, revenue management, and civil institutions. Hough advocates for structural improvements and progressive reforms that would enhance India’s institutional capacity and societal development. His vision encompasses both the practical implications of the Charter Act’s provisions and the broader philosophical considerations of good governance.
This historical text serves as an important document for understanding 19th-century perspectives on Indian institutional reform and colonial administration. It remains valuable for scholars studying the history of Indian governance, colonial policy, and the intellectual discourse surrounding administrative reform during this transformative period.
