THE RAJ,
By
This review is from: An Imperial Vision: Indian Architecture and Britain's Raj (Paperback)
The British really did empire well, they cultivated the trust of their subjects and backed it up with percision military might. The British were fascinated with India and it shows it the imperial architecture, the fusion of Western and Indian Architecture, most of which is spectacular, expecially in New Delhi. This book has wonderful images and well researched text on the architecture of India during the Raj. The British left India with a thirst for democracy and the buildings in which to excercise their freedom. Highly recommended to anyone with any interest in this subject...and buy Imperial Delhi while your at it..that is the definitive book on the subject.
