Rulers of India: Lord Clive
E-text prepared by Ron Swanson
"Rulers of India: Lord Clive" by G. B. Malleson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the life of Robert Clive, a key figure in the establishment of British dominance in India during the 18th century, particularly through his military and administrative actions. The book delves into Clive's early years, challenges, and eventual rise as a prominent leader in the tumultuous political landscape of colonial India. The opening of the text introduces Robert Clive as he arrives at Madras in 1744, embarking on his journey with the East India Company. Clive's early years are marked by a lack of direction and dissatisfaction with a mundane clerk's life, yet his bold and daring character foreshadows his significant role in military exploits. His struggles with authority and a yearning for action reveal the turbulence of his inner life, setting the stage for the extraordinary events to follow as he navigates the complexities of colonial governance and warfare in India.
