Description
This remarkable historical record documents the proceedings of a special general court convened by proprietors of East India stock at the East India House during February 1840. The court addressed the controversial dethronement of His Highness, the ruler of Satara, a princely state under British East India Company control.
The proceedings capture the formal discussions, legal arguments, and political considerations that shaped this significant decision in colonial Indian history. As an official record, it offers invaluable insights into the governance structures, corporate decision-making processes, and imperial policies of the East India Company during a pivotal period of British rule in India.
