About the Book

Early officials of the East India Company were surprised to discover that indigenous institutions of judicial redress had survived in a surprisingly good state during the centuries of “Tartar” rule. They noted that those institutions had largely remained beyond the purview of the medieval state, and had well served the needs of the populace. Subsequently, Company-men observed the functioning of indigenous judicial institutions in the areas under their control and cautioned against any transplantation from Britain. The eighteenth-century reverence for indigenous institutions was overturned in the mid-nineteenth century when a marked change in the British attitude became perceptible. The earlier appreciation gave way to censure. As the notion of race increasingly gained currency, there was a noticeable decline in the admiration for Indian culture. India began to be seen as a land of the past that needed to be reformed. The policy of non-interference with Indian traditions, a British byword in the eighteenth century, was abandoned in favour of change through the initiation of British institutions and values.>br> Meenakshi Jain is a historian interested in cultural and religious developments in Indian history. In 2020, she was awarded Padma Sri by the Government of India for her contributions in the field of literature and education. Her recent publications include – Vishwanath Rises and Rises: The Story of Eternal Kashi (2024); The Hindus of Hindustan (2023); Vasudeva Krishna and Mathura (2021); Flight of Deities and Rebirth of Temples (2019); The Battle for Rama: Case of the Temple at Ayodhya (2017); Sati: Evangelicals, Baptist Missionaries, and the Changing Colonial Discourse (2016); and Rama and Ayodhya (2013).
