India and east Africa: a history of race relations within the British Empire 1890-1939
Gregory, Robert .G.
India and east Africa: a history of race relations within the British Empire 1890-1939 - Oxford Clarendon Press. 1971 - 555p.
India's relationship with East Africa,
1890-1939, is essentially a study of race
relations within the British Empire. There
are three distinct peoples and cultures to
be considered: Indian, African, and
British. The focus is on East Africa where
the interaction between the three was
most intense. East Africa became a test
case not only for Britain's success in
building a harmonious Empire-
Commonwealth, but also for India's
aspiration to settle its surplus population
in peaceful communities overseas. The
result was a disappointment to both
Britain and India. Britain's administration of
East Africa greatly augmented nationalism
in India and contributed to the eventual
fragmentation of the Empire. India's hopes
for a viable colony in East Africa never
materialized, and the basis was formed
there for a subsequent estrangement
between Indians and Africans.
