| Tiivistelmä: | By writing about the late eighteenth-century revolution which led to East India Company rule, members of the largely Muslim precolonial administrative elite in eastern India sought to take control over their own history. They explained the society and ancien regime of India, as well as themselves, to the new British rulers for whom they worked. In so doing, they strove to inform and guide the new British colonial authorities into employing them in the new administration as well as into valuing the cultural mores and bureaucratic experience which they embodied. |
