The Importance Of Dishonesty In Britain

This is a brilliant work of the historical digging job that exposes the foundation of modern Britain in the (shameful or disgraceful acts or situations) of empire. Dirks shows that opposite to the(related to the rule of kings and queens) (people with strong opinions) then as now, the(shameful or disgraceful acts or situations) of victorious capture, violence, and bad mistreatment were at its center, not its unplanned sideshow. (making people act like decent people) the "native" necessarily involved the practice of shocking cruelty, the statement of (related to kings, queens, emperors, etc.) independent power (of a country)demanded the exercise of cruelty (from a king or queen). We will never be able to look at either British history or (when kings and queens try to push their rule as far as possible) without the record of keeping bad memories away from your thoughts and double-speak at their very heart. By carefully and thoroughly drawing out necessary connections
between (related to Europe)corruption' and (related to kings, queens, emperors, etc.) independent power (of a country) in eighteenth-century British India, this clear and excellently done (related to thinking a lot about what things mean to you) (written opinion) serves as an appropriately-timed reminder that modern empires, caught in idea-based disagreements between things of their own making, are basically unpleasant, terrible (because of mistreatment), and socially wrong (arrangements of objects). A stimulating thing that's given to modern debates. In this appropriately-timed and important ( the action that helps a bad situation) on empires--both past and present Nicholas Dirks makes a forcing opinion of Britain's (related to kings, queens, emperors, etc.) relation to India. (shameful and disgraceful act), romantic relationship, and empire, he argues, were central to the making of modern Britain. This is a very important ( the thing that's given) to current debates on empires their rise, decline, and fall. Dirks, dean of the professors and a professor of (the study of people) and history at Columbia, sets out to take apart the usual explanation that Britain's empire in India was, in the famous words of Victorian history expert J.R. Seeley, bought/owned/received 'in a fit of (not being there; not being present) of mind.' According to Dirks, there was nothing (happening by chance, without any planning) about Britain's 'conquest' of the subcontinent in the late 18th century. He Argues that public exposure of the East India Company's (something shocking that got everyone talking) (dishonest actions that ruin your trust) by the (someone who thinks a lot about how people think) and politician Edmund Burke during the Warren Hastings (accusing of a crime while in office) trial in 1788 convinced the government to step in and give medicine or something else what the British thought of as a capable of being hurt, backward (land area owned or controlled by someone). This rude (because of getting personal), (related to the rule of kings and queens) behavior, claims the author, helped cover up the 'corruption, money-based dishonesty, and dishonesty' of Britain's presence in India, which was recast as a (making people act like decent people) mission that also happened to benefit the British (process of people making, selling, and buying things).
In examining the Hastings case, Dirks scores many points, vaporizing comforting visions of a kind empire, and he expertly falls apart/untangles the difficult things about Burke, too often (made fun of) as a reactionary.The (shameful and disgraceful act or situation) of Empire return to the early history of British Rule in India to tell about a (big list of items) of (dishonest actions that ruin your trust) and destroy, at shocking and terrible human cost, yet laundered through terrible and shocking very told untrue stories of (related to kings, queens, emperors, etc.) (not doing things you want to do so you can help
others). Dirks is up-front about the similar things: for India, you can read Iraq, for Warren Hastings, Halliburton. He makes an honestly aggressive and yet powerfully convincing case. Dirks focuses mainly on eighteenth-century Britain and on one of its most dramatic political argument-causing events, the (accusing of a crime while in office) and trial of Warren Hastings, the Governor-General of Bengal from 1774 to 1784...He tells the story emotionally (in a good way) and with great intelligence a brilliant series of reflections. Nicholas Dirks The (shameful and disgraceful act or situation) of Empire offered me educational look at the historical origins of (dishonest actions that ruin your trust) and(shameful and disgraceful act or situation) in the Indian subcontinent. This is a strong and healthy argument (or arguer) with which history experts of the late eighteenth-century British state, as well as the late eighteenth-century British empire, will have to say/argue, not least because Nicholas B. Dirks convincingly argues that the two were(permanently tangled together) linked.
