Rulers of India: The Marquess of Hastings, and the Final Overthrow of the Maratha Power is a historical book written by John Foster Ross-Of-Bladensburg and originally published in 1900. The book focuses on the life and achievements of the Marquess of Hastings, who served as the Governor-General of India from 1813 to 1823. During his tenure, Hastings played a crucial role in the defeat of the Maratha Empire, which had been a dominant force in India for centuries. The book provides a detailed account of the political, military, and social events that led to the downfall of the Maratha Empire. It also sheds light on the various challenges that Hastings faced during his tenure as the Governor-General, including the threat of invasion from the Nepalese, the Burmese, and the Afghans. Apart from the military and political aspects, the book also explores the cultural and economic changes that took place during Hastings' time in India. It examines the impact of British colonialism on Indian society, particularly in terms of trade, agriculture, and education. Overall, Rulers of India: The Marquess of Hastings, and the Final Overthrow of the Maratha Power is a comprehensive and insightful account of one of the most significant periods in Indian history. It provides a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of colonialism and power in India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
