"Slavery And The Slave Trade In British India" offers a historical account of the prevalence of slavery and the slave trade within British India and neighboring regions during the early 19th century. Compiled anonymously and drawing from official documents, the book sheds light on the existence of these practices not only in India but also in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Malacca, and Penang.
This detailed examination provides valuable insights into the socio-economic conditions of the time, the legal framework surrounding slavery, and the impact on the lives of those enslaved. It serves as a crucial resource for understanding the history of human rights and exploitation under British colonial rule in Asia. The book's historical value lies in its comprehensive compilation of evidence regarding a dark chapter in colonial history.
