The British experience in India began in earnest over four hundred years ago, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. For many years the English interlopers and traders who made contact with the subcontinent were viewed by Indians as little more than pirates and potentially troublesome conquering barbarians. After a series of titanic struggles against the French and various local rulers during the eighteenth century, by the end of the Napoleonic Wars Britain had gained mastery of the subcontinent. This period, and the century and a half that followed, saw two powerful cultures locked in an often bloody battle over political control, land, trade, and a way of life.
Denis Judd is Professor of British Imperial, Commonwealth, and Indian History, at the London Metropolitan University. He is the author of numerous books, including the best-selling Empire: The British Imperial Experience from 1865 to the Present (HarperCollins, 1996), which was second on the best selling London hardback list, and most recently, The Boer War (John Murray, 2002, paperback2003). He has written radio documentaries for BBC Radio 4 and the World Service, and has broadcast many times both as a presenter, consultant, and major interviewee for television and radio programmes: most recently for BBC TV Newsnight, BBC Radio 3 Nightwaves, Channel 4, ITV, SouthAfrican TV and for BBC Radio 4's Vestiges -- the British Empire.
