This Book, A Political History Of The Nawabs Of The Carnatic, Mainly In The Eighteenth Century, Has For Its Theme An Important Phase In The Development Of British Power. The British Indian Empire Is Usually Dated From The Battle Of Plassey, But There Is Good Reason To Ascribe Tiruchirapalli During The Carnatic Wars. When These Wars Broke Out, The British Were Only Merchants; At Their End, They Were Virtually Rulers. They Used The Nawabs As Stalking Horses. Basing Itself On Manuscript Sources As Well As Published Books, This Volume Makes A Contribution To The History Of British India. It Draws Upon Not Only The Classical Histories Written In The Nineteenth Century But Also Upon Works Produced In This Century By A Generation Of Scholars With A Different Outlook.
