| Summary/Abstract |
Throughout history expanding imperial powers have consistently cast themselves as reluctant but dutiful policemen-bringers of peace and order to the periphery. The British were no exception. In India, however, the vaunted Pax Britannica was limited and patchy. While not exactly a myth, it never quite matched either the roseate claims made of it in official propaganda or the jingoistic perceptions of the masses at home.
