A Solid Frontier east_indies.1
The great Indian Subcontinent has been brought completely under … rule. Those native forces which once threatened the security of our rule have been brought to heel.
"Colonial rule is held together by the collaboration of the Company and the Indian Princes. Over decades we have seduced the Indians with promises of wealth and prestige, of military ranks and noble titles. Their service has been rewarded, and by winning their favor the subcontinent is pacified."
Reforming the Indies east_indies.2
The economy of the Indies has been transformed under our diligent rule. With slavery and feudalism abolished, our vast territories are ripe for exploitation through private enterprise.
"Famines, uprisings, and epidemics have been a staple of life under … rule. But we are resolved to change that; we have liberated the peasants from their quotas so that they are not forced to hand over the meager handful of rice they need to feed their families. By replacing these harsh regulations with private employment we are sure that the wealth will trickle down to the locals."
The Ethical Policy east_indies.3
The … has superseded the old colonialism. The people under our rule now enjoy a high standard of living and have access to a solid education.
"Fifty years ago such a policy would have been unthinkable. Colonial administrators were concerned only with what they could extract, typically through coercion, from the wretches with the misfortune to live within colonial borders. We can proudly say that we have done better, that we have enacted an ethical policy of rule."
