A gripping account of British life in the capital city of their Indian Empire, their treatment of the Indian population, and their own reaction to Indian culture - from 1689 when they founded Calcutta, until the early 20th century, when the capital of British India was moved from Bengal to New Delhi. This is a vivid pen picture which reveals the day-to-day life and epic adventures of the kind of people who made Europeans a dominant force in world history. Their attitudes to the native peoples and the rise of racial consciousness are described. First published in 1954, in Calcutta, India, and later reprinted in the USA. Chapters include: Merchant Adventurers; The Early Settlement; Growth and Prosperity; The Rule of the Nabobs; Imperial Splendor; The Merchant Princes; and Victorian Calcutta.
