Description
- First monograph investigating careers and mind-set of Indian diplomats from the colonial into the post-colonial period based on archival sources – looks at British India’s policy vis-à-vis Indians overseas by looking into the work of the Department of Education, Health and Lands and the Agencies in Ceylon, Malaya, South Africa, USA and China.
- Has extensive and very detailed archival work.
- Will be of utmost interest to students of Indian foreign policy – both analysts and historians – at the South Asia departments in the UK and the US.
- Offers an alternative to the Nehru centered accounts of Indian foreign policy that currently dominate library shelves. It will also interest those who look at Indian administrative history and who do modern Indian history; students of International Relations interested in Indian strategic culture and the making of Indian foreign policy. This volume will feature in courses on Indian foreign and security policy in India and abroad.
