Who were they? What drove these men and women to risk their lives on long voyages down the Atlantic and across the Indian Ocean or later via the Suez Canal? And when they got to India, what did they do and how did they live? This book explores the lives of the many different sorts of Briton who went to India: viceroys and officials, soldiers and missionaries, planters and foresters, merchants, engineers, teachers and doctors. It also describes the lives of many who did not fit in with the usual image of the Raj: the tramps and rascals, the men who 'went native', the women who scorned the role of the traditional memsahib. a  aBritish--Social life and customsvBritish--Social conditionszIndia 2ddccBK 00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2019-09-06eOPg729.27i2019-09-04l0o954.03 GIL-Bp50471r2019-09-06 00:00:00v999.00w2019-09-06yBK
