Download and read online ebook Keeping the Jewel in the Crown write by Walter Reid. This book was released on 2016-05-19. Keeping the Jewel in the Crown available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In 1947, when India achieved independence, Britain portrayed the transfer of power as the outcome of decades, even centuries, of responsible planning – the honourable discharge of an historic responsibility.

Drawing on the documentary evidence – letters, diaries, state papers – Walter Reid reveals how Britain selfishly deceived and prevaricated in order to arrest political progress in India for as long as possible – a shameful passage in British imperial policy which led to tragedy and untold suffering when independence finally became inevitable.
