Indirect Rule in India: Residents and the Residency System 1764-1858

This book concentrates on the origins, growth, and function of the Residency system on a pan-Indian scale between 1760 and 1857, in particular the composition of three groups within it: British Residents, Indian rulers, and the Indian staff of the residencies. By studying the entire body of Residents and Political Agents--their backgrounds, careers, strategies, and tactics--this book enables us to understand the men who carried out indirect rule over the major portion of India.Fisher, Michael H. is the author of 'Indirect Rule in India: Residents and the Residency System 1764-1858', published 1993 under ISBN 9780195626766 and ISBN 0195626761.
