Java, or How to Manage a Colony, Vol. 1 of 2: Showing a Practical Solution of the Questions Now Affecting British India (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Java, Vol. 1: Or, How to Manage a Colony The following pages describe a country and a people whose present state is but little known, and whose system of government is generally misunderstood and maligned. The condition of Java is the best vindication of the Dutch East Indian policy, but a more accurate knowledge both of the country and of the system may be of paramount importance to the future of our Empire in the East. India is now at the crisis of her fate, either to enter gradually the great comity of nations, or to sink back into the semi-barbarism of two thousand years of discord and oppression. This hangs on the continuance of English rule. The late rebellion revealed the rottenness of our present hold up the country, except by the maintenance of a European force, which the undeveloped resources of India are incompetent to support.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating look at the Dutch colonial system in Java during the mid-19th century. The author provides a detailed account of the ââ Å"Culture System,ââ  a policy implemented by General Van den Bosch in 1832, which aimed to transform Java from a poverty-stricken colony into a thriving economic powerhouse. The book delves into the practicalities of the system, examining its impact on revenue, trade, and the lives of both European administrators and native Javanese people. The authorââ â¢s firsthand observations provide a unique glimpse into the daily life of the colony, from the elaborate stag hunts to the intricate social dynamics between Javanese chiefs and European officials. By comparing Java's experience to the British rule in India, the book challenges common perceptions about colonial governance and the potential for developing prosperous, equitable societies in the East. Through detailed analysis and vivid descriptions, the author offers valuable insights into the complexities of colonialism and its consequences. This book serves as a reminder that the history of empire is not simply a matter of conquest but also of intricate social and economic systems that shaped the lives of millions of people.
