This study investigates the various ways the British borrowed from their experience of Ireland in forging policies and deepening their hold on India, their most prized possession. The book illustrates how the standard conceptual paradigm of colonizer and colonized fails in light of the many forces that clearly occurred within the web of Britain's imperial possessions. The author suggests an alternative to this colonial paradigm that incorporates the roles of intermediaries and adapts to the fluid and dynamic relationship between one dependency and another.
