Colonial Justice in British India describes and
examines the lesser-known history of white violence
in colonial India. By foregrounding crimes committed
by a mostly forgotten cast of European characters -
planters, paupers, soldiers and sailors - Elizabeth
Kolsky argues that violence was not an exceptional
but an ordinary part of British rule in the
subcontinent. Despite the pledge of equality, colonial
legislation and the practices of white judges, juries
and police placed most Europeans above the law,
literally allowing them to get away with murder. The
failure to control these unruly whites revealed how
the weight of race and the imperatives of command
imbalanced the scales of colonial justice. In a
powerful account of this period, Kolsky reveals a
new perspective on the British Empire in India,
highlighting the disquieting violence that invariably
accompanied imperial forms of power.
