Description
This comprehensive collection, edited by Alexander J. Arbuthnot, showcases the official writings and administrative minutes of Major-General Sir Thomas Munro, Bart. and K.C.B., who served as Governor of Madras during a transformative era in colonial India. The second volume contains carefully selected documents that illuminate Munro’s approach to governance, policy-making, and administrative reform.
Munro’s contributions to Indian administration were significant, particularly in matters of land revenue, local governance, and economic policy. These selections offer historians, scholars, and students of colonial history valuable primary source material. The documents reflect the complexities of 19th-century colonial administration and Munro’s relatively progressive stance on certain governance issues. This work is essential for understanding the institutional frameworks established during the British Raj and their lasting impact on Indian administrative systems.
